The limits of liability provided for in these Uniform Rules as well as the provisions of national law, which limit the compensation to a certain amount, shall not apply if it is proved that the loss or damage results from an act or omission, which the author of the loss or damage has committed either with the intent to cause such loss or damage, or recklessly and with knowledge that such loss or damage would probably result.
Omejitve odgovornosti, predvidene v enotnih pravilih, in tudi določbe notranje zakonodaje, ki omejujejo odškodnino na določen znesek, ne veljajo, če se dokaže, da je škoda nastala zaradi dejanja ali opustitve, ki jo je storil povzročitelj škode z namenom povzročiti tako škodo ali iz malomarnosti in z zavedanjem, da bo taka škoda verjetno nastala.
