Company not liable for act of God or unforeseen loss
15 Company not liable for act of God or unforeseen loss
The Company is not liable to any person in respect of loss sustained by him by reason of failure or delay in delivery of grain received in bulk in the course of its operations, where the failure or delay arises out of a riot, industrial dispute, civil commotion, war or act of God, or is occasioned by any unforeseen cause not attributable to the negligence of the Company.
In the event of any loss or damage arising to grain the Company shall apportion the loss of, or damage to, the grain rateably, as nearly as practicable, among those entitled to obtain delivery of grain at the time the loss or damage occurs and, to that extent, the Company shall be discharged from its obligation to deliver grain to the persons entitled to obtain delivery of it.
