GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
19. POSSESSION OF GAS AND TITLE
Southern Star shall be in control and possession of the natural gas it
receives hereunder and responsible, as between Southern Star and
Shipper, for any damage or injury caused thereby until the same has been
delivered to Shipper at the point of delivery; provided, however,
Southern Star shall not be responsible for damages or injuries caused by
natural gas it receives while such gas is in the possession and control
of any third party. However, Shipper at all times, shall retain title
to the gas or the right to deliver all gas to Southern Star under an
executed service agreement free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
claims whatsoever. Shipper shall also be responsible for obtaining its
own insurance (including self-insurance) for its gas in storage, and
shall hold Southern Star harmless from any loss, cost, or expense
arising from any loss of such gas that results from a Force Majeure
event.
Southern Star shall not be liable to the Shipper or any of its agents,
servants, or employees, or to any person whomsoever for any loss,
damage, or injury resulting from the said gas or its uses before
entering Southern Star's system at the point(s) of receipt and after
leaving Southern Star's system at the point(s) of delivery, all risks
thereof and therefrom being assumed, as between Southern Star and
Shipper, by Shippers except such losses proximately caused by gross
negligence of Southern Star.
Each party assumes full responsibility and liability for the operation
of the facilities owned by it and agrees to hold the other party
harmless from and against all liability of whatever nature arising from
installation, ownership, and operation therefrom.
Unless otherwise provided in Section 8.12 regarding exercise of
processing rights of Shippers, all substances, whether or not of
commercial value, including all liquid and liquefiable hydrocarbons of
whatever nature, that Southern Star or a third party recovers for
Southern Star's account shall be Southern Star's sole property, and
Southern Star shall not be obligated to account to Shipper for any
value, whether or not realized by Southern Star, that may attach or be
said to attach to such substances. However, nothing in this provision
shall require Southern Star to accept gas which does not meet the
applicable quality provisions otherwise provided in this tariff.
