        (f)      Transporter may waive a Shipper's default of any of the limitations set forth in this section 
 that has already occurred. In addition, Transporter may waive a Shipper's default of such limitations in

 granted pursuant to this section must be granted in a non-discriminatory manner on a case-by-case basis.
