Prior to receiving the Product at the Delivery Point, the Buyer shall inspect the Product to confirm that it is odorized to the Buyer’s satisfaction. The Buyer is liable for and will indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties against all Claims brought against the Seller Indemnified Parties related to odorant fade, total or partial loss of odorization or lack of odorization of product, except where such odorant fade, total or partial loss of odorization or lack of odorization has resulted from a failure of the Seller to comply with this Section 19(c). (d) If unodorized Product is to be delivered under this Agreement, then the Buyer represents and warrants to the Seller that the Buyer will not use such Product for fuel, heating material or industrial process or knowingly resell it for fuel, heating material or industrial process without adding an odorizing agent in conformance with applicable laws and regulations.
