Question details
Liability and insurance
The paragraph in the draft contract regarding liability and applicable law leaves us with a number of questions: 1) Is it required, that the tenderer takes an external insurance policy, or can the tenderer chose to bear the risk within the organization? 2) In case of a consortium, should the insurance policy cover all parties and also possible sub-contractors? Or just the lead partner? 3) It is a bit unclear which type of insurance is meant; Is it liability-insurance regarding possible damage on third party and IPR? Which types of damages should be covered and what should be the insured amount? 4) Working under Belgian law, does it require a Belgian insurance company or could it be from another EU country? 5) Does it cover direct and indirect damage? Thank you in advance.
