What are the responsibilities for damage and loss of goods in the process of civil law transportation?

China's Civil Code stipulates the contents of the sales contract. In real life, sales contracts can be said to be very common. For some companies to purchase goods, because it involves the transportation of goods, the problems involved in this kind of sales contract are more complicated. If the goods are damaged or lost during transportation, the situation is different and the subject of responsibility is different. Then, in the civil code, what are the responsibilities for damage or loss of goods during transportation? Let me answer this question for the reader.

1. What are the responsibilities for damage or loss of goods during civil law transportation?

People's Republic of China (PRC) Civil Code

Article 606 Where the seller sells the subject matter delivered by the carrier in transit, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the risk of damage or loss shall be borne by the buyer from the time the contract is established.

Article 607 After the seller delivered the subject matter to the place designated by the buyer and delivered it to the carrier as agreed, the risk of damage or loss of the subject matter shall be borne by the buyer.

Where the parties have not agreed on the place of delivery or the agreement is unclear, and the subject matter needs to be transported according to the provisions of Item 1, Paragraph 2, Article 603 of this Law, after the seller delivers the subject matter to the first carrier, the risk of damage or loss of the subject matter shall be borne by the buyer.

Article 842 Where the damage or loss of goods occurs in a certain section of multimodal transport, the liability and limitation of liability of the multimodal transport operator shall be governed by the relevant laws and regulations on the mode of transport in that section. If the transport section of the damaged or lost goods cannot be determined, it shall be liable for compensation in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

2. What are the provisions for the payment of the contract price?

People's Republic of China (PRC) Civil Code

Article 626 The buyer shall pay the price in accordance with the agreed amount and payment method. Where there is no agreement or unclear agreement on the amount and payment method of the price, the provisions of Article 510 and Item 2 and Item 5 of Article 511 of this Law shall apply.

Article 627 The buyer shall pay the price at the agreed place. Where the place of payment is not agreed or clearly agreed, and cannot be determined according to the provisions of Article 510 of this Law, the buyer shall pay at the seller's business place; However, if the payment of the agreed price is conditional on the delivery of the subject matter or the delivery of the documents for extracting the subject matter, the payment shall be made at the place where the subject matter is delivered or the documents for extracting the subject matter are delivered.

Article 628 The buyer shall pay the price at the agreed time. If there is no agreement or the agreement is unclear, and it cannot be determined according to the provisions of Article 510 of this Law, the buyer shall pay at the same time as receiving the subject matter or taking out the subject matter documents.

The above knowledge is my answer to relevant legal questions. Sales contract disputes can be said to be common types of disputes in practice. When there is a dispute over the sales contract, the parties may consider solving it through negotiation first. If negotiation fails, arbitration or litigation shall be conducted according to relevant regulations or the agreement between the parties, so as to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests and avoid personal losses.
