[M030]

market value clause

A clause in which the insurer agrees that the amount it will pay in the event of loss shall be the value of the destroyed merchandise "on the market," which is the amount which could have been realized by selling the merchandise. Obviously, this includes the seller's profit; therefore, the clause is used with caution to avoid the creation of a moral hazard.
