A carrier ceases to be liable for loss, damage, or delay if no claim is filed with the courts within one year from the day on which the goods are delivered (or, in the event of a total loss of goods, the day on which the goods should have been delivered).
The period referred to in the preceding paragraph may be extended by agreement only after damage has arisen as a result of the loss, damage, or delay.
If a carrier entrusts a third party with transportation, and the carrier provides compensation for loss or damage or has had a claim filed against it with the courts within the period referred to in paragraph (1), the period referred to in that paragraph concerning a third party's liability to the carrier is deemed to have been extended to the final day in the three-month period that begins on the day on which the carrier provided the compensation or had the claim filed against it.
