The liability policy limits Memories Gown Preservations maximum liability for loss or damage to each wedding gown, shall not exceed the lesser of:

– the purchase price paid by the Consignee (where the shipped property has been sold to the Consignee);
– the actual cost of the damaged or lost property;
– the replacement cost of the property at the time and place of loss or damage; or
– the cost of repairing the damaged property.
Sentimental value by reason of attachments that people develop to articles they own cannot be assigned a monetary worth, so MemoriesGP rules this out as a valid consideration in assigning a declared value or replacement cost.
