13. PAYMENTS
1. All payment for invoices due to Transporter by Shipper shall be
made to a depository designated by Transporter via electronic
funds transfer on or before the Payment Due Date. Pursuant to
NAESB Standards 3.3.17 and 3.3.18, party making payment shall
submit supporting documentation; party receiving payment shall
apply payment per supporting documentation provided by the paying
party, and if payment differs from the invoiced amount, remittance
detail shall be provided with the payment, except when payment is
made by electronic funds transfer (EFT), in which case, the
remittance detail is due within 2 Business Days of the Payment Due
Date. Invoice number(s) shall be identified on all payments. If
presentation of an invoice to Shipper is delayed after the 9th
Business Day of the month, the Payment Due Date shall be extended
by an equal number of Business Days, unless Shipper is responsible
for such delay.
2. Should Shipper fail to pay all of the amount of any invoice as
herein provided on or before the Payment Due Date, Shipper shall
pay a charge for late payment which shall be included by
Transporter on the next regular monthly bill rendered to Shipper
under this section 13. Such charge for late payment shall be
determined by multiplying (a) the unpaid portion of the invoice,
by (b) the ratio of the number of Days from the Payment Due Date
to the date of actual payment to 365, by (c) the interest rate
determined in accordance with Section 154.501(d) of FERC's
regulations. If such failure to pay continues for 30 Days after
the Payment Due Date, Transporter, in addition to any other remedy
it may have under the Transportation Agreement, may terminate the
Transportation Agreement and/or suspend further delivery of Gas
without further notice. Transporter may waive any interest due
hereunder for late payment to the extent Transporter determines
that extenuating circumstances caused late payment of an invoice
by a Shipper.
3. In the event an error is discovered in the amount billed in any
statement rendered by Transporter, such error shall be adjusted
within 30 Days of the determination of the error; provided that
any claim therefore shall have been made within 60 Days of
discovery of such error and, in any event, within 12 months from
the date of the statement claimed to be in error. Billing errors
shall be corrected as follows:
(a) Where Shipper has been overcharged and has paid the
statement, in the event the overcharge is not the result of
Transporter's negligence or bad faith, fraud or willful
misconduct, the amount of the overpayment will be refunded
to Shipper without interest, provided the overpayment is
refunded within 30 days of the determination of the error.
Overpayments not refunded within 30 days will be subject to
interest charges at the interest rate determined in
accordance with Section 154.501(d) of FERC's regulations
from the date of the overpayment to the date of the refund.
Where the refund is provided to Shipper by way of credit on
another Transporter invoice, the overpayment will be deemed
to have been refunded on the date the credited invoice was
received by the Shipper.
