GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
in computing deliveries, but such equipment shall be adjusted at
once to record correctly. If, upon any test, any measuring
equipment shall be found to be inaccurate by an amount exceeding
two percent (2%), at a recording corresponding to the average
hourly rate of gas flow for the period since the last preceding
test, previous records of such equipment shall be corrected to zero
error for any period which is known definitely or agreed upon, but
in case the period is not known definitely or agreed upon, such
correction shall be for a period extending over the latter one-half
of the time elapsed since the date of the last test.
2.6 Failure of Measuring Equipment - In the event any measuring
equipment is out of service, or if found registering inaccurately
and the error is not determinable by test, previous recordings or
deliveries through such equipment shall be estimated:
a. By using the registration of any check meter or meters if
installed and accurately registering, or in the absence of
(a);
b. By correcting the error if the percentage of error is
ascertainable by calibration, special test or calculation,
or in the absence of both (a) and (b) then;
c. By estimating the quantity of delivery by deliveries during
periods under similar conditions when the meter was
registering accurately.
The estimated readings or deliveries so determined shall be used in
determining the volume of gas delivered for any known or agreed
upon applicable period. In case the period is not known or agreed
upon, such estimated deliveries shall be used in determining the
volume of gas delivered hereunder during the latter half of the
period from the date of the immediately preceding test to the
date the measuring equipment has been adjusted to record
accurately; the recordings of the measuring equipment during the
first half of said period shall be considered accurate in computing
deliveries.
2.7 Measurement Corrections. The cutoff for the closing of measurement
is five (5) business days after the business month. If an error
is discovered in the measured quantities, such error shall be
adjusted within thirty (30) days of the determination thereof;
provided, however, that any claim for adjustment shall be made within
six (6) months of the production month in which the claimed error
occurred. The time for dispute or resolution of the claim shall be
