5.7. Upon demand by the Forwarder, the Principal shall provide security for any amount for which the Principal is or may be indebted to the Forwarder. The Principal is also so obliged where he already has to provide or has provided security in connection with the amount owed. 5.8. The Forwarder shall not be obliged to provide security out of his own means for the payment of freight, duties, levies, taxes and\/or other costs should the same be demanded.

The Principal shall at all times be obliged to indemnify the Forwarder for any amounts to be levied or additionally demanded by any authority in connection with the order, as well as any related fines imposed upon the Forwarder.

\n
11.1. All operations and activities shall be at the Principal\u2019s expense and risk. 11.2.

The loss to be indemnified by the Forwarder shall never exceed the invoice value of the goods, to be proved by the Principal, in default whereof the market value \u2013 to be proved by the Principal \u2013 at the time when the damage has occurred shall apply. In no event, shall the Forwarder be liable for any consequential loss (such as lost profit) and nonmaterial damage. 11.4.
