GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(c) Within five (5) business days (or a mutually agreed-upon time) after accepting the
request, subject to the other provisions of this section, Southern LNG shall prepare
and tender to Customer for execution a Service Agreement under the applicable Rate
Schedule in the pro forma format attached to this Tariff. If Customer fails to
execute and return to Southern LNG the Service Agreement within thirty (30) days of
the date tendered, then Southern LNG may deem the request for service null and void,
and the available capacity then will be reallocated according to Section 2.1(b) above.
(d) Southern LNG shall not be required to perform services under a Service Agreement for
any Customer who (i) is or has become insolvent, (ii) fails to demonstrate
creditworthiness either before initiation of service or on an ongoing basis after
initiation of service, or (iii) fails to make payments pursuant to GT&C § 13 (except
if Customer has disputed a bill and made provision for partial payment in accordance
with GT&C § 13). If during the ongoing credit evaluation process following initiation
of service, Southern LNG should desire additional credit information from Customer,
Southern LNG will provide the reason(s) to Customer for requesting such additional
information unless Southern LNG and Customer have mutually agreed to waive this
requirement. Southern LNG and Customer shall comply with the following guidelines for
credit evaluation (NAESB 0.3.3):
(A) Southern LNG shall designate on its website or by written notice two
representatives who are authorized to receive notice and information
regarding Customer's creditworthiness, and Southern LNG shall manage
internal distribution of any such information (NAESB 0.3.7);
(B) Southern LNG shall designate a date that the credit information is
due from Customer (NAESB 0.3.5);
(C) Upon receipt of either an initial or follow-up request from Southern
LNG for credit evaluation information, Customer's authorized representatives
should acknowledge receipt of Southern LNG's request unless Southern LNG and
Customer have mutually agreed to waive this requirement. The Customer's
obligation to provide confirmation of receipt is met by sending such
confirmation to the representatives described in Section 2.1(d)(A) above
(NAESB 0.3.4);
(D) Customer shall provide Southern LNG with all the credit information
requested by Southern LNG's designated due date, or provide to Southern LNG
the reason(s) why the information cannot be provided (NAESB 0.3.5); and
(E) Once Southern LNG receives all required credit information from
Customer, Southern LNG will notify Customer's authorized representative(s)
of such receipt unless Southern LNG and Customer have mutually agreed to
waive this requirement (NAESB 0.3.6);
