   the port(s) originally intended.

   assessed based on the transportation route selected by

   cannot obtain, suitable or sufficient transporting
   containers or equipment, nor to accept cargo when
   underlying vessel-operating-common-carrier or inland

   this Tariff shall be construed as creating any
   obligation for Computrex International Services, Inc. to

   disturbances, civil commotion, military actions, or
