14.5 Billing Disputes. If Customer withholds payment of
any disputed amount as authorized herein, Customer shall within
ten (10) days after the due date of the disputed invoice submit to
PPEC a written explanation of the dispute and any available
supporting documentation. The parties shall then cooperate in
good faith to resolve such dispute as expeditiously as possible,
and the portion, if any, of such disputed amount eventually
determined to be due shall bear interest at the rate stated in
Section 14.4 above from the original due date until the date
actually paid.
14.6 Right to Audit. Both PPEC and Customer shall have
the right at their own expense to examine and audit at any
reasonable time the books, records (including measurement, billing
and payment) and charts of the other to the extent necessary to
verify the accuracy of any statements or charges made under or
pursuant to any of the provisions of Customer's Storage Service
Agreement. Upon request, Customer shall also make available to
PPEC for audit purposes any relevant records of the Transporters
to which Customer has access. A formal audit of accounts shall
not be made more often than once each Contract Year. Any
inaccuracy will be promptly corrected when discovered; provided,
however, that neither PPEC nor Customer shall be required to
maintain books, records or charts for a period of more than two
(2) Contract Years following the end of the Contract Year to which
they are applicable. Neither PPEC nor Customer shall have any
right to question or contest any charge or credit if the matter is
not called to the attention of the other in writing within two (2)
years after the end of the Contract Year in question.
15. TAXES
If at any time PPEC is required to remit any taxes assessed
on the Gas pursuant to Customer's Storage Service Agreement, then
PPEC shall have the right to collect from Customer such taxes,
including any penalties and interest. Customer agrees to
reimburse PPEC for the taxes assessed on the Gas, including any
penalties and interest, within fifteen (15) days of the date of
invoice from PPEC. Customer shall furnish PPEC information,
satisfactory to PPEC, to enable PPEC to comply with any reports
required by state or federal government and agencies. Customer
recognizes that PPEC may be required to file federal and state tax
returns, and Customer agrees to furnish PPEC with adequate
information pertaining to the taxation on the Gas. Customer shall
coordinate such filings with PPEC.
