Where the transaction is of a kind that is generally understood to allocate the risk that has occurred, relief will be properly refused. A long-term lease of a sale allocates practically all risks; a short-term licence for a specific purpose allocates fewer. ... Similarly, where the parties actually foresee the occurrence, for example, by providing that one shall insure against it, they thereby allocate that risk.
