Any such claims for loss or damage to the Goods must be specifically noted in writing to Midland by the warehouseman or representative at the customer’s location on the packing slip or bill of lading and received by Midland within 30 days after the Goods have left Midland’s custody.

However, if such exemption certificate or other documentation that you provide to Midland is subsequently determined to be invalid or nonapplicable by the federal, state or local authority imposing the tax, fee or charge, then you will indemnify and reimburse Midland for any tax, fee or charge, including any interest and penalty, assessed as a result thereof.

The Goods sold hereunder shall be at your own risk from the time they are duly delivered to the carrier at the point of shipment.

Midland shall not be liable for any failure of or delay in performance, or for any damages suffered by you by reason or such failure or delay, when such failure or delay is, directly or indirectly, caused by, or in any manner arises from strikes, lockouts, fires, riots, floods, pandemics, accidents, inability to secure transportation, acts of God, war conditions, governmental interference or embargos, acts of terrorism, including, but not limited to, cyber security or malicious computer system breaches or any other causes of delay beyond our control, which are often referred to as force major events or any other cause or causes (whether or not similar in nature to any of these herein before specified) beyond Midland’s control.
