GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
6.4 Payment. Shipper shall pay Transporter by check or electronic
transfer of federal funds no later than the tenth Day following
receipt of the invoice from Transporter, the amount due for the
preceding Month, except when such day is a Saturday, Sunday or
bank holiday, in which case payment is due on the following
Business Day. Shipper shall submit supporting documentation; if
payment differs from the invoiced amount, remittance detail must
be provided with the payment except when payment is made by
electronic funds transfer, in which case the remittance detail is
due within two Business Days of the payment due date. Transporter
will apply parties' payment per the supporting documentation
provided by the Shipper. The Shipper shall indicate the invoice
number on all payments.
6.5 Remedies for Nonpayment. Should Shipper fail to pay all of the
amount of any invoice as herein provided when such amount is due,
Transporter may charge interest on the unpaid portion of the
invoice computed from the due date until the date of payment at
the same rate of interest and in the same manner as prescribed for
pipeline refunds as set forth in Section 154.501 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas
Act. If such failure to pay continues for thirty (30) Days after
payment is due, and Transporter has provided Shipper and the FERC
with at least ten (10) Days notice that service will terminate due
to the non-payment, Transporter, in addition to any other remedy
it may have under an executed Service Agreement, may, after
application to and authorization by the FERC, if such
authorization is necessary, terminate the Service Agreement.
6.6 Disputed Invoices. Shipper may dispute the amount of any invoice
or parts thereof due to a good faith allegation of a billing
error, made in writing to Transporter, with supporting
documentation, and pay to Transporter only such amounts as it
concedes to be correct if, within thirty (30) Days of a demand
made by Transporter, Shipper furnishes a good and sufficient
surety bond guaranteeing payment to Transporter 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. If Shipper furnishes
such a bond, Transporter shall not be entitled to suspend further
delivery of Natural Gas unless and until default be made in the
conditions of such bond. No payment by Shipper of the amount of a
disputed invoice shall prejudice the right of Shipper to claim
that an adjustment of the disputed invoice is required.
