GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
19. LIABILITY AND REMEDIES (continued)
19.1 Relief From Liability. (continued)
(a) (continued)
occasioned by or happening on account of the act or omission of one of the
parties to the Transportation Service Agreement between Transporter and
Shipper or some person or concern not a party thereto, which is not within
the control of the party claiming excuse and which by the exercise of due
diligence such party is unable to prevent or overcome. A failure to
settle or prevent any strike or other controversy with employees or with
anyone purporting or seeking to represent employees shall not be
considered to be a matter within the control of the party claiming excuse.
Under no circumstances will lack of finances be construed to constitute
force majeure.
(b) Transporter shall not be liable in damages to Shipper for any
interruption, curtailment, impairment or reduction in service due to
routine scheduled maintenance, maintenance required by applicable
regulations or good engineering practice, or construction pursuant to a
certificate of public convenience and necessity duly issued by the
Commission, provided that Transporter shall provide Shipper as much notice
as practical in advance of such interruption, curtailment, impairment or
reduction in service, and provided that Transporter shall exercise
reasonable efforts to schedule such maintenance or construction so as to
minimize the impact on all Shippers taken as a group.
19.2 Reservation Charge Credit (Force Majeure): As used in this Section
19.2, Firm Daily Volume shall mean the volume of gas which Transporter is
obligated to deliver on a firm basis at Shipper's firm delivery point(s)
on a Gas Day, based on confirmable nominations for firm service within
Shipper's Maximum Transportation Quantity. If, due to an event of force
majeure, Transporter is unable to deliver any portion of Shipper's Firm
Daily Volume for a period greater than ten (10) consecutive days, then for
each day beyond ten (10) days that Transporter so fails to provide service
the applicable reservation charges including applicable reservation-based
surcharges shall not apply to the quantity of gas not delivered by
Transporter within the Shipper's Firm Daily Volume; provided, however,
that these charges shall not be eliminated to the extent that the Shipper
utilizes secondary point service.
