(ii) for the purpose of this Rule, the liability of Joint Owners to each other shall not be excluded or discharged by reason of co-assurance and any payment to one of the Joint Owners in respect of any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses shall operate only as satisfaction but not exclusion or discharge of the liability of Joint Owners to each other.

PROVIDED ALWAYS that:

a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Managers all Joint Owners shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all contributions or other sums due to the Association in respect of such entry, and the receipt by any one of such persons for any sums payable by the Association in respect of such entry shall be a sufficient discharge of the Association for the same.

PROVIDED ALWAYS that:

a) such charterer shall only be covered for the risks, liabilities, costs and expenses for which that the Owner has cover in accordance with the terms of entry of the ship with the Association;
b) for the purposes of this Rule 10 B(i) a charterer shall only be affiliated to or associated with the Owner if

(bi) both the Owner and the charterer have the same parent or

(iii) Other persons (except charterers other than bareboat charterers)
PROVIDED ALWAYS that
the liability of the Association to such persons only extends insofar as it may be found liable to pay in the first instance for loss or damage which is properly the responsibility of the Owner insured under the same entry and nothing herein contained shall be construed as extending cover in respect of any amount to the extent such amount would not have been recoverable from the Association by the Owner insured under the same entry had the claim in respect of such loss or damage been made or enforced against it. Once the Association has made indemnification under such cover it shall not be under any further liability and shall not make any further payment to any person whatsoever, including the Owner, Joint Owner or Co-assured insured under the same entry in respect of that loss or damage.

(iv) notice served on one Assured by the Association pursuant to Rule 41 shall be deemed to be served on all Assureds;
(v) the conduct of any Assured which would have entitled the Association to decline to indemnify it shall be deemed the conduct of all the Assureds;

(vii) unless the Managers have otherwise agreed in writing, the contents of any communication from or on behalf of the Association to any Assured shall be deemed to be within the knowledge of all the Assureds, and any communication from any Assured to the Association, the Managers or their agents shall be deemed to have been made with the full approval and authority of all the Assureds;
(viii) there shall be no reimbursement from the Association of claims relating to any liabilities, costs, expenses or disputes among the Assureds.
