SECTION 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 acts of God, strikes, lockouts, acts of the public
enemy, wars, blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides,
lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, washouts, arrests and
restraints of rulers and peoples, civil disturbances, explosions,
breakage or accident to machinery or lines of pipe, the binding order
of any court or governmental authority which has been resisted in good
faith by all reasonable legal means, 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 to be a
matter within the control of the Party claiming suspension.
Such causes or contingencies affecting the performance hereunder
by the Transporter or the Shipper, however, shall not relieve either
Party 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 Shipper from its obligations to make payments of
amounts then due hereunder.
SECTION 10. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
(a) Title. Shipper warrants that it will have good title to all
natural gas delivered to the Transporter for storage, and that such Gas
will be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims
whatsoever, and that it will indemnify the Transporter and save it
harmless from all suits, actions, debts, accounts, damages, costs,
losses and expenses arising from or out of adverse claims of any and
all persons to said Gas.
(b) Risk of Loss. As between Shipper and Transporter, Shipper
shall be in control and possession of the Gas prior to delivery to
Transporter for injection at the point(s) of Delivery and after
redelivery at the Point(s) of Redelivery, and shall indemnify and hold
Transporter harmless from any damage or injury caused thereby.
Transporter shall be in control and possession of the Gas after the
delivery of the same for injection at the Point(s) of Delivery and
until redelivery by Transporter to Shipper at the Point(s) of
Redelivery, and shall indemnify and hold shipper harmless from any
damage or injury caused thereby, except for damages and injuries caused
by the sole negligence of Shipper. The risk of loss for all Gas
injected into, stored in and withdrawn from storage shall remain with
Shipper, and Transporter shall not be liable to Shipper for any loss of
Gas, except as may be occasioned due to the intentional or grossly
negligent acts or omissions of Transporter. Any losses of Gas, unless
due to the intentional or grossly negligent acts or omissions of
Transporter, shall be shared proportionately by all Shippers. Shipper
retains title to Gas at all times.
