12. BILLING AND PAYMENT

12.1 Billing

VGS will render its bill on or before the ninth (9th)

business day of each month for the charges due for

transportation service rendered under an executed Service

Agreement during the previous month, computed in accordance

with the Customer's applicable Rate Schedule. Rendered

means postmarked, time-stamped, or delivered to the

Designated Site. Invoices will be mathematically accurate

and calculated using the net billing rate, rather than the

maximum tariff rate and discount amount. Invoices will be

based on actuals (if available) or best available data.

Quantities at points where OBAs exist will be invoiced based

on scheduled quantities.

VGS will render a written invoice to Customer, unless

Customer requests that VGS render an invoice via EDI. Both

written and electronic invoices will use the description,

charge codes and common codes set forth in the GISB

Standards. Transportation invoices will specify all rate

components. VGS will provide supporting data, if

applicable, at the time it renders invoices. To the extent

additional supporting information is requested, such

information will be provided within five (5) business days

of a request.

Upon request, VGS will provide Customer a Statement

of Account, on which it will report outstanding balances

by invoices.
