GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
18.7 Contested Bills. Any billing or statement may be
contested within 180 days from its receipt by shipper. If
invoice is in dispute, the shipper shall pay portion not in
dispute and provide documentation identifying the basis for
the dispute. Questar shall have 90 days to provide its
rebuttal. This time limit shall not apply in cases of
deliberate omission, misrepresentation or mutual mistake of
fact.
If shipper (i) contests all or any part of a bill in
good faith, (ii) pays to Questar the amounts it concedes to
be correct, (iii) provides documentation identifying the
basis of the dispute and (iv) within 30 days of a demand
made by Questar, furnishes a surety bond guaranteeing
payment in the amount of the disputed portion of the bill,
then Questar may not suspend further delivery of gas unless
default has occurred under the conditions of the bond. No
payment by shipper of the amount of a disputed bill shall
prejudice the right of shipper to claim an adjustment of the
disputed bill. Shipper shall pay interest on disputed
portions of a bill for which shipper has withheld payment,
and which ultimately are found due, according to the
provisions of this tariff.
18.8 Billing Errors. If an error is discovered in the
amount of any bill, the error shall be adjusted within 30
days of the determination that an adjustment is
required,provided that the claim for adjustment shall have
been made within 180 days from the date of the bill. If it
is determined that shipper has been overcharged, and shipper
has paid the statement containing the overcharge, then,
within 30 days after the final determination, Questar shall
refund the amount overcharged with interest. If it is
determined that shipper has been undercharged, shipper shall
pay the amount undercharged with interest calculated as
prescribed by 18 C.F.R. 154.501(d) within 30 days of
notice by Questar of the amount. In the event that any
portion of a statement is in dispute, payment of the
disputed portion shall not be deemed a waiver of the right
to contest such disputed portion in any forum having
jurisdiction.
18.9 Prior-Period Adjustments. The prior-period
adjustment time limit shall be six months from the date of
the initial transportation invoice and seven months from the
date of the initial sales invoice with a three-month
