\nThe insurance policy must specifically provide for the waiver of all claims against the MIC Foundation, which will not be liable to pay compensation for any damage suffered by the works during transport.

For the latter, it is mandatory to follow the provisions of the official event shipper. Works sent by mail or outside the required manner will be rejected.
