GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
6. PAYMENTS (Continued)
6.2 Remedies for Non-Payment (Continued)
of FERC's regulations. Interest applicable to such bill will be invoiced to
Shipper, pursuant to Section 5 of the General Terms and Conditions, to the
extent that the amount of interest is $25 or more. If such failure to pay
continues for thirty days after payment is due and Company has provided
Customer and the FERC with at least fifteen (15) days notice that service will
terminate due to the non-payment, Company, in addition to any other remedy it
may have under the Agreement, may terminate the Agreement; provided, however,
that if Customer in good faith shall dispute the amount of any such invoice or
part thereof and shall pay to Company such amounts as it concedes to be correct
and at any time within thirty days after a demand made by Company shall furnish
good and sufficient surety bond, guaranteeing payment to Company of the amount
ultimately found due upon such invoices after a final determination which may
be reached either by agreement or judgment of the courts, as may be the case,
then Company shall not be entitled to terminate the Transportation Agreement
until a default is made in the conditions of such bond.
6.3 Adjustment of Underpayment, Overpayment or Error in Invoicing
If invoice is in dispute, Customer shall pay the portion of the invoice not in
dispute and provide documentation identifying basis for the dispute. If it
shall be found that at any time Customer has been overcharged or undercharged
in any form whatsoever under the provisions of this Tariff or the Agreement and
Customer shall have actually paid the invoices containing such overcharge or
undercharge, then within thirty days after the final determination thereof,
Company shall refund the amount of such overcharge and Customer shall pay the
amount of any such undercharge; provided, however, that interest calculated in
accordance with Subsection 6.2 of these General Terms and Conditions shall
apply to any undercharge or overcharge not paid or refunded within thirty days
from the date of the determination of such undercharge or overcharge. In the
event an error is discovered in the amount invoiced in any statement rendered
by Company such error shall be adjusted within thirty days of the determination
thereof provided that claim therefore shall have been made within sixty days
from the date of discovery of such error. [3.3.19/v1.0]
7. POSSESSION OF GAS
Unless otherwise provided in the Transportation Agreement or applicable Rate Schedule,
as between Company and Shipper, Shipper shall be deemed to be in exclusive control and
possession of the gas to be transported (i) prior to receipt by Company at the receipt
point(s), (ii) after receipt by Company, when the gas is in the custody of Shipper or
Shipper's designee for separation, processing or other handling, and (iii) after
delivery by Company at the delivery point(s); otherwise, Company shall be in exclusive
control and possession of the gas. The party which shall be in exclusive control and
possession of the gas shall be responsible for all injury or damage caused thereby to
any third party. In the absence of negligence, bad faith, fault or willful misconduct
on the part of Company, Shipper waives any and all claims and demands against Company,
its officers, employees or agents, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) the
quality, use or condition of the gas after delivery from Company for the account of
such Shipper, (ii) any losses or shrinkage of gas during or resulting from
transportation hereunder, and (iii) all other claims and demands arising out of
Company's performance of its duties hereunder.
