GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
25. DISCOUNTING
25.1 Discount Policy. Equitrans may elect at its discretion to discount
the maximum rate(s) applicable to transportation or storage service
for any Customer subject to the limitation that such discounted
rate(s) shall not be less than the minimum rate(s) for the
applicable service as set forth in Equitrans' FERC Gas Tariff as
may be changed from time to time. Any rate discount provided to
any Customer shall be applied to the components of the rate in the
following order: (1) GRI surcharge; (2) SCT surcharge; (3) base
tariff rate(s) for the applicable service including retainage; and
(4) applicable surcharges under Section 27 of the General Terms and
Conditions. If the discounted rate(s) charged to a Customer exceed
the rate(s) approved by the Commission, any required refunds shall
be based on the amount by which the rate actually collected exceeds
the rate approved by the Commission.
25.2 Use of Discounts at Alternative Point(s): A firm Customer, which
has been granted a discounted rate by Equitrans, that seeks to use
an alternative Receipt or Delivery Point(s) (whether through
segmentation, capacity release, or its own exercise of Secondary
Receipt and Delivery Point(s) rights) can continue to receive a
discounted rate at such alternate point only if Equitrans has
granted a discount to any similarly situated transaction at the
alternate point(s). The rate to be paid at such alternate point(s)
shall be the higher of the Customer's current discounted rate or
the discounted rate being offered to any similarly situated
transaction at the alternate point(s).
The Customer may request a discount at an alternative point at any
time. Equitrans shall process such request for discount at an
alternative point(s) within two (2) hours of the time such request
is submitted. Provided, however, if such request is received by
Equitrans after 4:00 p.m., Equitrans shall process such request by
8:30 a.m. the next business day. No requests for discount at
alternative point(s) will be processed on non-business days.
