Clause Paramounts inserted in all C/P and has the effect of Incorporating Hague or Hague Visby or Hamburg Rules to the contract of Carriage.
Clause Paramounts requires that all B/L issued to incorporate such Rules/Act so that the Consignee (who may be in some other country) always knows the rules under which carriage is done. The same is also inserted in C/P so that the Shipowner and Charterer agree to the condition of Carriage prior signing the C/P.
