GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
Shipper shall not be responsible for such Transportation and
related expenses if the special testing reveals that the
meter(s) is (are) not operating within the required tolerance
level of two percent (2%).
The operator, for purposes of this section, shall be the owner
of the equipment referenced herein, or the agent of such owner,
or such other person as the parties may agree in writing.
If, upon any test, any measuring equipment is found to be in
error, such errors shall be taken into account in a practical
manner in computing the deliveries. If the resultant aggregate
error in the computed receipts or deliveries is not more than
two percent (2%), then previous receipts or deliveries shall be
considered accurate. All equipment shall, in any case, be
adjusted at the time of test to record correctly. If, however,
the resultant aggregate error in computing receipts or
deliveries exceeds two percent (2%), at a recording
corresponding to the average hourly rate, of Gas flow rate for
the period since the last preceding test, the previous
recordings 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 one-half of the
time elapsed since the date of the last test.
12.4 In the event any measuring equipment is out of service, or is
found registering inaccurately and the error is not
determinable by test, previous recordings of receipts or
deliveries through such equipment shall be determined as
follows; provided, however, that the correction period shall be
within six (6) Months of the production Month, with a three (3)
Month rebuttal period and provided, further, that such standard
shall not apply in the case of deliberate omission or
misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact. Parties' other
statutory or contractual rights shall not otherwise be
diminished by this standard:
(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 mathematical
calculation, or in the absence of both (a) and (b) then;
