The retail chain 'Magnit' has removed itself from liability for the loss of goods during drone attacks, the publication 'Vernstka' noted.

Consensus

The new version of the agency agreement for 'Magnit Market' came into effect on August 1.
'Magnit Market' is no longer responsible for loss, shortage, damage, or spoilage of goods caused by force majeure events.
Force majeure includes military, combat, defensive, or counter-terrorism actions regardless of declared war, territory, or aggressor.
Specific force majeure events include drone strikes, rocket attacks, explosives, air defense systems, shelling, explosions, sabotage, terrorist acts, fires, floods, collapses, access restrictions, evacuations, requisition, or destruction by authorized bodies.
Other marketplaces including Wildberries, Ozon, 'Megamarket', and 'Yandex Market' have implemented similar contractual changes.
The changes follow a series of attacks on logistics centers starting from July 18.

The total losses for Wildberries are estimated at over 100 billion rubles by The Bell, while seller losses are estimated at 215–280 billion rubles by analyst Sergey Semko. — tg_doxajournal
Wildberries introduced insurance for goods against drone attacks, sabotage, and terrorist acts on August 7, with a maximum payout of 50,000 rubles per claim and up to 100,000 rubles per incident, but storage on the warehouse is not covered. — tg_doxajournal
On August 7, a major drone attack occurred on a logistics center in Yekaterinburg, which Wildberries confirmed, citing pre-emptive evacuation of staff and access restrictions. — tg_doxajournal
The contract explicitly excludes liability for 'necessary and proportionate actions' by the marketplace or emergency services in moving or destroying goods to prevent greater damage. — tg_svobodnieslova
'Magnit Market' is the fifth marketplace to implement such changes, following Wildberries, Ozon, 'Megamarket,' and 'Yandex Market'. — tg_svobodnieslova
