11.索赔

11.索赔

11.索赔claim➢General Introduction （总体介绍）英文版In international trade, a claim usually refers to a request by the buyer for compensation for losses or damages which the buyer himself is not responsible for. As long as the buyer suffers such losses, he would probably complain to or lodge a claim against the seller or other liable parties like the insurance company, or the carrier. Depending on the nature of losses, the buyer might ask for compensations, for replenishment/replacement of goods, for repair, for special discounts, or for indemnities (in case the insurer is liable).Whenever the buyer lodges a claim, the claimee shall always handle it with care. This is particularly important for the seller, because the way how he handles the claim would probably affect the business relationships, or even his credit in the trade. Therefore, shall the seller be liable for a claim, he shall on the one hand respond properly to the reasonable requests by the buyer, and on the other take necessary corrective or preventive measures to avoid the same losses or damages in the future.中文版在国际贸易中，索赔通常指买方对非自身原因造成的损失或损坏要求赔偿的请求。
