A LC has a clause stating that any amendments will be in force unless rejected within 3 days from the date of advise. An amendment was issued on 01-01-2008 and the beneficiary fails to notify the issuing bank. Which of the following is correct?
a. The amendment is in force
b. Will be in force only if the beneficiary accept it
c. The clause should be disregarded
d. None

May I know why the answer is "The amendment is in force?. As per article 10 (f) it should be disregarded. Hope to hear from you.

of course the amendment is in force. UCP article 10f works when such clauses are included in the amendment itself

In this case, Sure, any amendments will automatically enter into force after 3 days of the date of it's advise to the beneficiary by the nominated bank, unless the beneficiary communicates it's rejection before these 3 days to the nominated bank.

However, if an amendment states so in itself, it would be disregarded.

I CHOOSE THE ANSWER C

Oh, thax guys, I didnot notice f. in an amendment before. It's realy a trap in the exam when we are catching.

The answer is [a]. The amendment is in force
