GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
32. NEGOTIATED RATES
32.1 Availability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Tariff, including the provisions of the rate schedules contained
herein, Transporter and Shipper may mutually agree to a Negotiated
Rate under any Agreement, provided that Shipper has not acquired its
capacity on a temporary basis under the capacity release provisions of
Section 26 of these General Terms and Conditions. If a portion of the
capacity under any existing Agreement is agreed to be priced at
Negotiated Rates, the existing maximum or discounted tariff rates will
continue to apply to the capacity not subject to the Negotiated Rates.
As a recourse to the Negotiated Rates, any Shipper may receive service
at the applicable maximum tariff rates, including surcharges. The
Negotiated Rate may be less than, equal to, or greater than the
maximum and minimum applicable tariff rate; may be based on a rate
design other than straight-fixed variable; and may include a minimum
quantity. Transporter's Recourse Rates shall be available to any
Shipper that does not agree to a Negotiated Rate. Recourse Rates are
set forth on the Rate Sheets within this Tariff.
Transporter and a Shipper may agree to a Negotiated Rate for the
entire term of a Transportation Service Agreement, or may agree to a
Negotiated Rate for some portion of the term of a Transportation
Agreement. Transporter and Shipper may agree to apply the Negotiated
Rate to all or a portion of capacity under Shipper's Firm
Transportation Service Agreement.
During the period a Negotiated Rate is in place, the Negotiated Rate
shall govern and apply to the Shipper's service under the Negotiated
Rate Agreement and the otherwise applicable rate, rate component,
charge or credit which the parties have agreed to replace with the
Negotiated Rate shall not apply to, or be available to, the Shipper.
Only those rates, rate components, charges or credits identified by
Transporter and Shipper in writing as being superceded by a Negotiated
Rate shall be ineffective during the period that the Negotiated Rate
is effective; all other rates, rate components, charges, or credits
prescribed, required, established or imposed by this Rate Schedule or
Tariff shall remain in effect. At the end of the period during which
the Negotiated Rate is in effect, the otherwise applicable tariff
rates or charges shall govern any service provided to Shipper.
