Due credit shall be given against the allowance as above for any amounts recovered in respect of fuel and store and wages and maintenance of the Master Officers and Crew or any member thereof, including amounts allowed in general average, and for any amounts recovered from third parties in respect of damages for detention and/or loss of profit and/or running expenses, for the period covered by the tender allowance or any part thereof.
Where a part of the cost of the repair of damage other than a fixed deductible is not recoverable from the Underwriters the allowance shall be reduced by a similar proportion.
13.4. In the event of failure by the Assured to comply with the conditions of Clauses 13.2. and/or 13.3. a deduction of 15% shall be made from the amount of the ascertained claim.
