19. Subject to the provisions of Chapter V, FedEx is not liable if the registration number of the Motor Vehicle recorded in the EKÁER Number details belonging to the Consignment at a given time does not correspond to the registration number of the Motor Vehicle actually transporting the Consignment and, for this reason, the Principal or, with regard to the Principal, another third party suffers legal prejudice. If, for this reason, a third party claims damages or lays other claims against FedEx, the Principal shall exempt FedEx from such claims and shall be fully liable for such claims instead of FedEx or, if it is not possible to do so, shall reimburse FedEx for any claim enforced.

20. FedEx shall not be liable in any form for damages sustained by the Principal due to the fact that FedEx is unable to maintain continuous contact with the Principal or a third party enforces a claim against it in relation to this on other grounds.
