GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
13. MEASUREMENT
13.1 The unit of volume for measurement of all quantities
of Gas wheeled, parked, loaned or stored by PPEC or delivered to
and received from storage hereunder shall be one (1) cubic foot of
Gas at the base temperature of sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60
degrees F) and at an absolute pressure of fourteen and
seventy-three hundredths (14.73) pounds per square inch and dry.
All fundamental constants, observations, records, and procedures
involved in determining and/or verifying the quantity and other
characteristics of Gas delivered hereunder shall, unless otherwise
specified herein, be in accordance with the standards prescribed
in Report No. 3 of the American Gas Association, as now in effect
and from time to time amended or supplemented. All measurements
of Gas shall be determined by calculation into terms of such unit.
All quantities given herein, unless expressly stated otherwise,
are in terms of such unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
agreed that, for all purposes, the Btu content of the Gas received
and delivered by PPEC hereunder shall be measured on a "dry" basis
rather than a fully saturated or "wet" basis. For Gas volumes
reported in cubic meters, the standard conditions are 101.325 kPa,
15 degrees C, and dry.
13.2 PPEC shall install, maintain and operate, or cause
to be installed, maintained and operated, the measurement
facilities required hereunder. Said measurement facilities shall
be so equipped with meters, recording gauges, chromatographs or
other types of related and/or similar equipment of standard make
and design commonly acceptable in the industry, as to accomplish
the accurate measurement of Gas delivered hereunder. The
retrieval of data and calibrating and adjustment of meters shall
be done by PPEC or its agent.
14. BILLINGS AND PAYMENTS
14.1 Invoice. Not later than the ninth (9th) Business
Day of each month, PPEC shall provide Customer (including a
Replacement Customer) an invoice and any required backup data
(which may be transmitted by fax) setting forth (i) the charges
due for the current Month; (ii) the total quantity of Gas, stated
in Dekatherms, received from and delivered to Customer hereunder
during the preceding Month(s), with applicable Point(s) of Receipt
and Point(s) of Delivery properly identified, and the amount due
therefor; and if applicable, (iii) the amount of Customer's Gas in
storage as of the close of the preceding Month and information
sufficient to explain and support any adjustments made by PPEC in
determining the amount billed. If actual quantities are not
available by the ninth (9th) Business Day of the month, PPEC may
invoice based on best available data subject to adjustment to
actual at a later date. Quantities at points where Operational
Balancing Agreements exist shall be invoiced based on scheduled
quantities.
