GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
may waive the interest on late payment made within five days of the due date.
If an uncontested bill remains unpaid for 30 days or more after payment is
due, Southern Trails, in addition to any other remedy it may have, may, after
giving Shipper 15 days' written notice, suspend further receipt and delivery
of gas for Shipper until full payment for all service rendered to date is
made.
(d) Southern Trails will be entitled to recover any reasonable
expenses, costs or attorney's fees incurred to recover amounts owed for
transportation services rendered by Southern Trails from a defaulting party.
16.7 Contested Billing. Any billing or statement may be contested
within 180 days from its receipt by Shipper. If an invoice is in dispute,
Shipper shall pay the portion not in dispute and provide documentation
identifying the basis for the dispute. Southern Trails 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 Southern Trails 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 Southern Trails, furnishes a surety bond guaranteeing payment
in the amount of the disputed portion of the bill, then Southern Trails 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.
16.8 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, Southern Trails 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 Southern Trails of the
amount. In the event that any portion of a statement is in dispute, payment
of the disputed portion shall
