Loading/Transporting Sample Clauses

Loading/Transporting. TLO shall load only that crude petroleum which it is authorized to load pursuant to directions received from TRMC and its crude petroleum suppliers or in accordance with this Agreement. The quality and quantity of the crude petroleum received by TLO shall be determined by sampling, verification and measurement conducted by TLO or THHP. TLO shall not mix different grades of crude petroleum, unless authorized by TRMC, or adulterate the crude petroleum with motor fuel or with any chemical or other material whatsoever. The crude petroleum hauled on a transport truck or stored in a TLO tank facility prior to loading a new delivery must be compatible with the crude petroleum that is being loaded or stored so as to not cause contamination of loaded or stored crude petroleum. TRMC as part of its quality control may test the quality of crude petroleum delivered by TLO. TLO agrees to abide by the quality control procedures mutually agreed by the parties from time to time. TRMC shall at all times retain title to the crude petroleum gathered, transported and delivered by TLO hereunder and shall remain responsible for all risk of loss, damage, deterioration, or contamination as to such crude petroleum, except for that caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by TLO, its agents, employees or contractors.
