    It is the policy of Paiute to undertake services only pursuant to exe-
cuted service agreements after consideration of its existing commitments,
delivery capacity, points of delivery and other factors deemed material by
Paiute. Paiute specifically disclaims any undertaking on its part to pro-
vide service as a common or public carrier of natural gas or other goods

circumstances involving public or private need or of governmental directive
shall not serve to constitute Paiute a common or public carrier of natural
