Dozd TV channel noted that Wildberry added a clause to the contract with sellers that exempts the market from liability for non-fulfillment of obligations in the event of a drone attack.
We’re talking about a new offer to sell merchandise on the Wildberry website, which goes into effect on July 7. In the section on compensation for lost and damaged goods, there is a clause stating that Wildberry “is exempt from liability for failure to fulfill obligations if such failure is caused by force majeure circumstances.”
Force majeure circumstances include, but are not limited to, the following:
Any consequences of the use, impact, fall, release or activation of weapons, military equipment, aircraft (including drones), weapons, ammunition and their parts, as well as bombing, explosions and other weapons, including objects considered neutral, despite the presence of acts issued (other documents) regarding the absence of explosive objects in the designated area.
In the previous version of the offer, which is valid from June 18 to July 6, force majeure circumstances were not specified. Dozd points out that the offer is an agreement between the company and the sellers, without which “it will not be possible to launch sales and receive payment for the goods sold.”
In June, Ukrainian drones attacking the Moscow region hit a multi-storey residential building in Elektrostal. As a result of the same attack, four men were injured in the village of Slošeni, near Elektrostal. One of the largest logistics parks Wildberry is located in this region. The company itself said that a “partial evacuation” of employees had been carried out at the warehouse, but did not directly confirm the drone attack.
