The ADSp 2017 cap is SDR 8.33 per kilogram, roughly EUR 10 per kg at 2026 exchange rates.
AfterThe relevant statutory liability cap referenced by ADSp 2017 for standard carriage is SDR 8.33 per kilogram (the CMR Convention road-transport limit), roughly EUR 10 per kg at 2026 exchange rates; ADSp 2017 itself further reduces this to around 2 SDR per kilogram for multimodal transport involving a sea leg or an unknown place of damage, subject to per-claim and per-event ceilings.
Why: 3 issues fixed: The article states the ADSp 2017 cap itself is SDR 8.33 per kilogram. SDR 8.33/kg is actually the CMR Convention (international road carriage) liability limit, which ADSp 2017 references as a statutory baseline; ADSp 2017's own contractually-reduced cap (Clause 23) is lower - 2 SDR/kg for multimodal transport involving a sea leg or unknown place of damage, with absolute per-claim/per-event ceilings. Presenting 8.33 SDR/kg as 'the ADSp 2017 cap' conflates the CMR figure with ADSp's own terms. | AUMA does not publish a document titled 'exhibitor manual' - this is a fabricated citation. AUMA's real guidance is published under different titles such as 'Successful Trade Fair Participation'. | FAMAB Verband Direkte Wirtschaftskommunikation is an outdated name. Following a 98.4% member vote, the organization rebranded in 2021 to 'fwd: Bundesvereinigung Veranstaltungswirtschaft e.V.'; famab.de now redirects to forward.live. This rebrand happened years before this article's late-2025 publish date.
