(c) If payment differs from invoiced amount, including for
Section 21.7 invoice disputes, remittance detail shall be
provided with the payment, except when payment is made by
electronic funds transfer, in which case the remittance
detail is due within two (2) Business Days of the date of
the payment. The party receiving payment shall apply
payment as specified in any supporting documentation
provided by the paying party.
21.6 Interest. If Shipper fails to pay timely all of the undisputed
amount of any invoice, or if Shipper fails to pay any disputed
amount to the extent it is finally determined to be due, interest
on the underpayment shall accrue at a rate equal to the rate in
18 C.F.R. § 154.501(d) from the payment due date until the date
of payment.
21.7 Disputes. If Shipper in good faith disputes the amount of any
invoice, Shipper shall inform Pipeline of its dispute, including
documentation identifying the basis of dispute. To avoid
suspension or termination of service under Section 21.8, Shipper
shall either: (i) pay timely to Pipeline the full amount of such
invoice, subject to refund as provided in Section 21.3, or (ii)
pay timely to Pipeline such amount as Shipper concedes to be
correct and, at any time thereafter within 30 days of a demand
made by Pipeline, furnish good and sufficient surety bond from a
surety having an A. M. Best credit rating of “A” or better and
otherwise acceptable to Pipeline, guaranteeing payment to
Pipeline of the amount finally determined to be due. If Shipper
posts a surety bond and the amount finally determined to be due
is the amount that Shipper asserted in its documentation as being
the correct amount due, Pipeline shall reimburse Shipper for the
amount of the premium paid for the surety bond obtained by
Shipper. On payment of such invoice in full or the continued
furnishing of such bond by Shipper, Pipeline shall not suspend or
terminate service under Section 21.8, pending a determination of
the final amount due.
21.8 Service Suspension or Termination.
(a) Pipeline may suspend or terminate its provision of service
on a finding that Shipper is no longer creditworthy, on
Shipper’s failure to pay under this Section 21, or on
Shipper’s other default under its Service Agreement or the
Tariff.
