Common use of Weights Clause in Contracts

Weights. 16.1 Coal will be weighed or measured by TVA, Contractor, or independent laboratory technician (using scales or other appropriate method approved by TVA) at the location where samples are collected for payment purposes. Except as specifically provided below, Contractor-provided weights will be used for contract purposes where this contract provides that Contractor samples are used for payment purposes, and TVA’s weights will be used for contract purposes when this contract provides that TVA’s samples are used for payment purposes. When Contractor-provided weights are used, said weights will be reported to TVA by electronic facsimile or as designated by the Contract Administrator for each shipment of coal hereunder. TVA shall have the right to have a representative present, at TVA’s sole risk and expense, at any and all times during TVA loadings to observe determination of weights. Contractor shall notify TVA immediately upon the occurrence of inaccurate weighing or absence of actual weighing. Contractor shall confirm such notification in writing to TVA within seven (7) working days of the date of each such occurrence. Such confirmation shall identify each affected coal shipment by Purchase Order number, line item number, shipping point, traffic control number, shipping date, and car/barge/truck number(s). Contractor’s account shall be adjusted for any coal inaccurately weighed, or not weighed, such adjustment to be made at whatever time such occurrence(s) becomes known to TVA. 16.2 All scales and weighing devices used by Contractor to determine the governing weight of coal shall be certified by the appropriate regulatory authority or a railroad and shall be material tested annually by an independent third party at the Contractor’s expense and the results of such tests provided to TVA within thirty (30) days of receipt of such test results of Contractor. Such scales and weighing devices shall comply with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44 and shall be installed, maintained, and operated according to manufacturers’ recommendations. 16.3 If Contractor-provided weights are to be used, and Contractor fails to provide proper weights, TVA weights will be the means by which the weight of coal sold, delivered, and purchased hereunder shall be determined. Contractor shall reimburse TVA for any cost or expense charged to or incurred by TVA as a result of the absence of proper weights from Contractor, and TVA may elect to have TVA’s sampling and analysis govern for quality adjustment purposes as to any coal not properly weighed by Contractor. While TVA may not undertake to weigh all coal received, it may at its option check weigh any coal received. In the event invoiced weights exceed TVA weights by more than one and one-half percent (1.5%), a full material test will be run by both parties with each party responsible for its own cost. The weights that are determined most accurate shall govern. 16.4 Scale tests shall be performed more often than annually if reasonably requested by TVA. TVA shall be responsible for the cost of additional (more than annual) requested tests unless the results thereof show that the scale failed to conform to certification standards, in which event the Contractor shall be responsible for such costs. 16.5 If Contractor’s or TVA’s weighing devices or methods are determined by said independent third party to be in error over 0.5%, an appropriate adjustment shall be made to the affected weights and related invoices and payments reflecting the full extent of the error. Such adjustments shall be made retroactively to a date midway between the date on which the weighing devices were last tested and calibrated and the date on which the inaccuracy in weighing methods or devices was first questioned and prospectively until the date on which the weighing methods and devices are corrected. 16.6 If scales at the applicable mine determine the weight for less than all of the railcars in a single trainload lot, then the average railcar weight for the last three trainload lots to TVA, for trains that contained railcars all of the same capacity as the unweighed cars, shall be determined by dividing the trainload lots’ weight by the number of railcars in the trainload lots. The average railcar weight shall be multiplied by the number of railcars in the unweighed or partially unweighed trainload lot to determine the trainload lot weight.

Seller shall have the right to have a representative present, at TVA’s sole risk and expense, present at any and all times during TVA loadings to observe the determination of weights. Contractor shall notify TVA immediately upon If Seller should at any time question the occurrence of inaccurate weighing or absence of actual weighing. Contractor shall confirm such notification in writing to TVA within seven (7) working days accuracy of the date of each such occurrenceweights, Seller shall so advise Buyer and Buyer shall permit Seller's representative to test Buyer's weighing devices or methods. Such confirmation shall identify each affected coal shipment by Purchase Order number, line item number, shipping point, traffic control number, shipping date, and car/barge/truck number(s). Contractor’s account shall be adjusted for any coal inaccurately weighed, In the event Buyer's weighing devices or not weighed, such adjustment methods are determined to be made at whatever time such occurrence(s) becomes known to TVA. 16.2 All scales and weighing devices used by Contractor to determine the governing weight of coal shall be certified by the appropriate regulatory authority or a railroad and shall be material tested annually by an independent third party at the Contractor’s expense and the results of such tests provided to TVA in error, within thirty (30) days thereafter, Buyer shall advise Seller of receipt the amount and the estimated duration of such test results of Contractorthe error.

Such adjustments , the Parties shall be made retroactively to a date midway between the date on which the weighing devices were last tested and calibrated and the date on which the inaccuracy in weighing methods or devices was first questioned and prospectively until the date on which the weighing methods and devices are corrected. 16.6 If scales at the applicable mine determine the weight for less than all of the railcars in a single trainload lot, then the average railcar weight for the last three trainload lots to TVA, for trains that contained railcars all of the same capacity as the unweighed cars, shall be determined by dividing the trainload lots’ weight by the number of railcars in tons and average BTU content of each shipment invoiced during the trainload lotslast half of the period since the most recent calibration of the weighing device. The average railcar weight Should the Parties be unable to agree on this determination, it shall be multiplied by the number of railcars resolved in the unweighed or partially unweighed trainload lot to determine the trainload lot weightaccordance with Section 17.
