(a) The issuer of a through bill of lading, or other
document of title embodying an undertaking to be performed in
part by a person acting as its agent or by a performing carrier,
is liable to any person entitled to recover on the bill or other
document for any breach by the other person or the performing
carrier of its obligation under the bill or other document.
However, to the extent that the bill or other document covers an
undertaking to be performed overseas or in territory not
contiguous to the continental United States or an undertaking
including matters other than transportation, this liability for
breach by the other person or the performing carrier may be
varied by agreement of the parties.
(b) If goods covered by a through bill of lading or other
document of title embodying an undertaking to be performed in
part by a person other than the issuer are received by that
person, the person is subject, with respect to its own
performance while the goods are in its possession, to the
obligation of the issuer. The person's obligation is discharged
by delivery of the goods to another person pursuant to the bill
or other document and does not include liability for breach by
any other person or by the issuer.
(c) The issuer of a through bill of lading or other
document of title described in subsection (a) of this section is
entitled to recover from the performing carrier, or other person
in possession of the goods when the breach of the obligation
under the bill or other document occurred:
(i) The amount it may be required to pay to any
person entitled to recover on the bill or other document for the
breach, as may be evidenced by any receipt, judgment, or
transcript of judgment; and
(ii) The amount of any expense reasonably incurred by
the issuer in defending any action commenced by any person
entitled to recover on the bill or other document for the
breach.
