Introduction

To minimise the risk involved in business transactions, it is essential to understand and acquire the “how-to” skills to apply the Standard Trading Conditions (STC).

The STC was revised at the 30th Annual General Meeting of SLA held on 7 May 2004 to reflect changes in the logistics industry taking into consideration, several judgements upheld up the court in Singapore and incorporated suggestions, comments and feedback from member-companies. The specially designed course will enable participants to :

• Understand the liabilities involved in undertaking special instructions involving goods and services
• Identify the general indemnity and liability of company provided under the STC
• Define the conditions under which the company is not liable to compensate claims
• Distinguish the liability and indemnity conditions of the company acting as agent and as principal
• Define the rules governing electronic data interchange
