In case of any actual loss or misfortune, it shall be lawful and necessary to and for the Assured, his or their factors, servants and assigns, to sue, labor and travel for, in and about the defense, safeguard and recovery of the goods and merchandise, or any part thereof without prejudice to this insurance; nor shall the acts of the Assured or this Assurer in recovering, saving and preserving the property insured in case of disaster be considered a waiver or an acceptance of abandonment. To the charges associated with sue and labor, this Assurer will contribute according to the rate and quantity of the sum hereby insured.

In case the interest hereby insured is covered by other insurance (except as hereinafter provided) the loss shall be collected from several policies in the order of the date of their attachment, insurance attaching on the same date to be deemed simultaneous and to contribute pro rata.

It is agreed, nevertheless, that where these Assurers are thus relieved of liability because of the existence of other insurance, these Assurers shall receive and retain the premium payable under this policy and, in consideration thereof, shall guarantee the solvency of the companies and/or underwriters who issued such other insurance and the prompt collection of the loss thereunder to the same extent (only) as these Assurers shall have been relieved of liability under the terms of this clause, but not exceeding, in any case, the amount which would have been collectible under this policy if such other insurance did not exist.

FPA CLAUSE:

Warranted Free from Particular Average unless the vessel or craft be stranded, sunk or burnt, jettison and washing overboard, but notwithstanding this warranty these Assurers are to pay any loss of or damage to the interest insured which may reasonably be attributed to fire, collision or contact of the vessel and/or craft and/or conveyance with any external substance ice (included) other than water, or to discharge of cargo at port of distress.
