Applicant shall immediately notify the Port’s Wharfinger of any observed dangerous condition requiring attention by the Port. Neither Applicant nor its Contractors shall alter docks, pilings or any improvements or facilities of the Berth or Facility without notice to and the prior written approval of Port. There is no warranty of any kind as to the condition of the Berth, fendering, water depth, ramps, mooring points, or any other part of the Facility and Applicant accepts each in its “As Is” condition. Applicant further acknowledges and agrees that neither Port nor any of its agents have made, and Port hereby disclaims, any representations or warranties, express or implied, concerning the physical or environmental condition of the Facility (including, but not limited to the substructure), the present or future suitability of the Facility for Applicant’s activities, or any other matter whatsoever relating to the Facility, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Applicant shall cooperate with Port, other licensees and users of the Facility and approaches thereto, and will not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Facility. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Port to provide a Port representative at the Facility, nor shall the presence or absence of such representative obligate Port, its commissioners, officers, employees or agents to take any action whatsoever. Applicant agrees that Port, its commissioners, officers, employees and agents shall not be responsible for regulating traffic at the Facility. Applicant shall, at its own cost and expense, provide all mooring lines, tackle, gear and labor for the mooring of vessels at the Facility, and shall provide, at its own cost and expense, such equipment and employ such persons as it may require for the handling of cargo, provisions, gear and machinery; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Applicant from using such equipment as may be installed by Port at the Facility upon the payment of the charges fixed therefor.
