SECTION 16

1- The carrier shall deliver the goods at the place designated for delivery. The carrier shall be liable for damage to the goods or for the total or partial loss thereof occurring during the time of carriage, as well as for any delay in delivery. 2- Delay in delivery shall be said to occur when the goods have not been delivered within the agreed time limit or, failing an agreed time-limit, within the time-limit it would be reasonable to allow a diligent carrier, having regard to the circumstances of the case. 3- The claimant may, without furnishing further proof, treat the goods as totally or partially lost, as the case may be, if they have not been delivered or have been only partially delivered thirty days after expiry of the agreed time limit for delivery or, if there is no agreed time limit, within, sixty days from the time the carrier took over the goods. 4- The carrier shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of his agents and servants and of any other persons whose services he makes use of for the performance of the carriage, when such agents, servants or other persons are acting within the scope of their employment, as if such acts or omissions were his own.
