GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
30. DISCOUNTS
30.1 In the event that Tuscarora agrees to discount its maximum rates
under Rate Schedules FT, IT or PL, Tuscarora and Shipper may
agree to the types of discounts specified herein without such
discounts constituting a material deviation from Tuscarora's pro
forma service agreement. Tuscarora and Shipper may agree that a
specified discounted rate will apply: (i) only to specified
quantities under the service agreement; (ii) only if specified
quantities are achieved or only with respect to quantities below
a specified level; (iii) only during specified periods of the
year or for a specifically defined period; (iv) only to specified
points, combination of points, markets, transportation paths or
other defined geographic area(s); and/or (v) only in a specified
relationship to the quantities actually delivered (i.e., that the
reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified relationship
to quantities actually delivered). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no discounted rate shall be less than the applicable
minimum rate.
30.2 If Tuscarora has agreed to a discount with a Shipper receiving
service under a service agreement pursuant to Part 284 of the
Commission's Regulations and the discount is limited to specific
Point(s) of Receipt or Delivery or both, the Shipper may request
that such discount apply to service under such transportation
agreement at a different Point of Receipt or Delivery accessible
under said service agreement at which Tuscarora and the Shipper
have not specifically agreed to the discounted rate. There is a
rebuttable presumption that such discount shall apply at the
requested point if Tuscarora at the time of the request is
granting discounts to other similarly situated Shipper(s)
receiving service utilizing that point. However, Tuscarora can
rebut this presumption by demonstrating that the proposed service
to the Shipper is not similarly situated to the service receiving
a discount at the requested point. Regardless of the discount
granted by Tuscarora to any similarly situated Shipper at such
requested point, if Shipper is granted a discount for service at
the requested point pursuant to this Section 30.2, Shipper shall
pay the higher of its contractual discount rate or the discount
rate provided to another Shipper utilizing the requested point.
