LOSS means the gross value of an Eligible Transaction in Eligible Transaction Currency, including the principal or face amount thereof and any accrued interest as set forth in the Payment Instrument, plus any Costs of Recovery pursuant to Article II.C., which is not paid on the Due Date by or on behalf of the Customer, less any amounts received by the Insured from any source as or towards payment of the Eligible Transaction, (but excluding Approved Recourse Amounts). Post maturity or default interest shall not be considered part of a Loss for the purposes of this policy and nothing contained in this policy restricts the Insured from recovering and retaining such amounts solely for its own account.
