transaction is effected, which ever is shorter.

(c) A Releasing Shipper may withdraw its Release Request, by

(d) Transporter makes no representation or warranty to any party

concerning the accuracy or completeness of any posted

Releasing Shipper to release transportation rights hereunder

or of any Bidder to accept transportation rights hereunder.

Transporter undertakes no obligation to any party by its

posting of any information pursuant to this Section 17 and

Transporter shall not be liable to any party for any

damages, of any nature whatsoever, including without

limitation any special, incidental or consequential damages,

or any other kind that may arise in connection with the

17.5 Bidding on Transportation Rights

(a) Persons that desire to bid on released transportation must

pre-qualify with Transporter by entering into a Released

Transportation Service Agreement (for a temporary release)

or a Pre-Assignment Agreement (for a permanent assignment)

with Transporter and by demonstrating credit-worthiness, in

the same manner and subject to the same standards and

procedures as required for firm shippers under Section 6 of

Transporter's General Terms and Conditions. The credit-

worthiness requirement shall be continuing in nature in the

same manner and to the same extent as prescribed for firm

shippers under Section 6 of Transporter's General Terms and

Conditions. Transporter will waive the credit-worthiness

requirement on a non-discriminatory basis for Bidders on a

Release Request, and permit them to submit bids, if the

Releasing Shipper provides Transporter with a guarantee

satisfactory to Transporter of all financial obligations of

the Replacement Shipper under its Released Transportation

Service Agreement prior to the commencement of service to

the Replacement Shipper.
