GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
21. PAYMENTS (Continued)
interest calculated in accordance with Subsection
21.2 that accrues until resolution of the
dispute, which may be reached either by agreement
or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
If resolution of the dispute is in favor of
Shipper and Shipper furnished a surety bond
instead of paying the disputed amount,
Transporter shall refund to Shipper the costs
incurred in securing that surety bond for this
dispute. This Subsection does not apply to
ordinary adjustments of underpayment, overpayment
or error in billing in accordance with Subsection
21.3. Shipper shall clearly identify the invoice
number on all payments.
21.3 Adjustment of underpayment, overpayment or error in billing: If at
any time Transporter determines that Shipper has been overcharged
or undercharged in any form whatsoever under the provisions of
this Tariff, and Shipper shall have actually paid the bills
containing such overcharge or undercharge, within thirty (30) days
after the final determination thereof (except where otherwise
required by statute, rule, regulation or order), Transporter shall
refund the amount of any such overcharge, and Shipper shall pay
the amount of any such undercharge, both with interest thereon at
the then effective rate computed in the same manner as set forth
in Subsection 21.2. Interest on overcharges or undercharges shall
be calculated from the time such overcharge or undercharge was
paid or due to the date of refund or payment, respectively. This
Subsection does not apply to payments subject to a bona fide
billing dispute in accordance with Subsection 21.2.
21.4 In the event either party discovers an error in the amount billed
in any statement rendered by Transporter, such error should be
identified within six (6) months of the date of the invoice. The
other party shall have three (3) months from the month in which
the error was identified to dispute such error. This timeline
shall not apply in the case of deliberate omission or
misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact, or government-
required rate changes. The parties' other statutory, tariff
and/or contractual rights shall not otherwise be diminished by
this provision.
