Other Conditions

In addition, the following conditions will form the basis of negotiations:

• Maintenance – An annual shutdown plan for the SEAL system is prepared in advance and to coincide with the shutdown of connected facilities (as far as possible).
• Governing Law and Disputes – English law will govern the agreement and disputes for certain technical matters will be settled through expert determination.
• Liabilities and Indemnities – will be based on the Industry Mutual Hold Harmless standard established in the UKCS.  A cap will be agreed on liability arising from wilful misconduct.  However, all tie-ins must become party to the SEAL cross-user liability agreement which allows for liabilities arising from off-spec gas.
