GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
12.4 Predetermined Allocation. When Equitrans receives or delivers
gas under more than one Service Agreement at a common receipt or
delivery point, Equitrans will rely upon any predetermined
allocation or instruction agreed to by all affected Customer(s)
in apportioning actual receipts or deliveries at that point.
Equitrans will use any methodology agreed to by all Customers at a
common point for allocating receipts or deliveries at that point,
provided that such methodology does not impact the operations of
Equitrans system. The list of allocation methodology types
agreed upon: Ranked, Pro-Rata, Percentage, Swing and Operator
Provided Value. Only one predetermined allocation methodology shall
be applied per allocation period. The types of allocation
methodologies is a list from which two parties may agree. If the
two parties cannot agree upon an allocation methodology, pro rata
based upon confirmed nominations shall be used as the default
method. The party responsible for custody transfer (the party
performing the measurement function) shall provide the allocation.
Predetermined allocations must be submitted by the Customers after
or during confirmation and prior to the start of the gas day which
the allocation will govern. Equitrans shall acknowledge the
receipt of the predetermined allocation within fifteen (15) minutes
of its receipt. Once confirmed, such allocation will govern
all transportation activity at the specified point for the
Nomination Period. No retroactive reallocation of transactions will
be made unless agreed to by Equitrans and all affected parties.
12.5 Disputed Allocations. The Customer must notify Equitrans of any
dispute in allocations within six (6) months of the initial month-
end allocation, with a three (3) month rebuttal period. Such time
limits shall not apply in the case of deliberate omission,
misrepresentation, or mutual mistake of fact, nor shall this
provision diminish other statutory or contractual rights of the
parties.
12.6 Determination of Receipts and Deliveries. Equitrans will attempt to
determine the actual imbalance ascribable to each service
agreement to the greatest extent possible. If gas
delivered by Equitrans into the facilities of any Customer is
applicable to more than one Service Agreement and Equitrans cannot
rely on an OBA or predetermined allocation or otherwise ascribe
the actual imbalance to each individual service agreement,
Equitrans will attribute the total quantities of gas delivered
among Customers pro-rata based on confirmed nominations at the
