13. BILLING AND PAYMENT
13.1 Billing:
On or before the ninth (9th) business day of each calendar month, Southern LNG shall render to
Customer by electronic transmission a statement of the Reservation Charges for service for the
preceding month and the amount due for transportation services rendered in the preceding month,
which shall include any necessary adjustments, including capacity release, to the Reservation
Charges. Rendered is defined as time-stamped and delivered to the site designated by Southern
LNG on SoNet Premier or delivered to Customer by the U.S. Postal Service, a nationally
reputable courier service, or electronically through e-mail. Southern LNG shall provide to
Customer notice electronically when Customer's invoice is available on SoNet Premier. The
invoice will be deemed rendered once Southern LNG sends such notice of invoice availability.
Prior to rendering an invoice to Customer, Southern LNG shall offset the invoice by all amounts
owed by Southern LNG to the Customer for that month; provided, however, that this offset shall
not affect disputed amounts.
13.2 Payment:
Billing statement shall be deemed to be received by each Customer on the date of the postmark,
timestamp or electronic delivery of the notice rendered by Southern LNG. Customer shall make
payment to Southern LNG for the Reservation Charge levied and for the services performed or
charges levied hereunder by electronic bank transfer (i.e. wire transfer, ACH transfer or other
mutually acceptable transfer method), at such address as Southern LNG may hereafter designate,
no later than ten (10) days after the Customer's receipt thereof. All payments made by
Customer shall include Southern LNG's invoice number(s) for purposes of matching the payment to
the invoice.
13.3 Invoice Disputes and Interest on Unpaid Amounts:
If Customer disputes, in good faith, the amount of any invoice from Southern LNG, it shall
provide a description and supporting documentation of its position and timely submit payment of
the amount it states is due to Southern LNG along with remittance detail. In the event
Customer pays such invoice through a wire transfer of funds, then Customer shall provide
Southern LNG with the remittance detail in writing within two days of payment. Southern LNG
shall apply such payment in accordance with Customer's documentation. Customer agrees that
Southern LNG's acceptance of a partial payment does not waive Southern LNG's right to full
payment after resolution of the disputed invoice in the future.
