GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
8. TITLE TO GAS (Continued)
8.4 Waiver of Shipper Must Have Title Requirement. If Transporter
acquires transportation and/or storage capacity on an off-system
pipeline, Transporter will use such capacity for operational purposes
and/or will render service to Shippers using such capacity pursuant to
the terms and conditions of its tariff and at Commission-approved rates.
For transactions subject to this Section 8.4, the "Shipper must have
title" requirement is waived.
9. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither Transporter nor Shipper shall be liable in damages to the
other for any act, omission or circumstance occasioned by or in
consequence of any blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, flood,
washouts, landslides, mudslides, earthquakes, extreme cold or freezing
weather, lightning, rulers and peoples, civil disturbances, explosions,
breakage or imminent breakage or freezing of or accident to machinery or
line of pipe, the order of any court or governmental authority having
jurisdiction, and any other cause, whether of the kind herein enumerated
or otherwise, not reasonably within the control of the party claiming
suspension and which by the exercise of due diligence such party is
unable to prevent or overcome. Failure to prevent or settle any strike
or strikes shall not be considered a matter within the control of the
party claiming suspension.
Such causes or contingencies affecting the performance under the
executed Service Agreement by either Transporter or Shipper, however,
shall not relieve it of liability in the event of its concurring
negligence or in the event of its failure to use due diligence to remedy
the situation and to remove the cause in an adequate manner and with all
reasonable dispatch, nor shall such causes or contingencies affecting
such performance relieve either party from its obligations to make
payments of amounts then due in respect of gas theretofore delivered and
as provided for in Section 10 of Rate Schedule TF-1.
