15.1 Pipeline shall bill Customer on or before the 10th Day of each
Month for all charges and costs incurred hereunder during the
preceding Month according to the measurement, computations and
charges provided in this Tariff. Such bill shall be delivered to
Customer or its agent by posting Customer's final bill on

if an e-mail address has been designated by Customer,
contemporaneously with the posting of the final bill on Pipeline's

mail address information provided to Pipeline as necessary.
Customer may designate an agent to receive invoices and may

availability of Customer's final bill on Pipeline's LINK® System.
If actual quantities are unavailable in time to prepare the

adjustment based on any difference between actual quantities and
estimated quantities.
15.2 The invoice submitted pursuant to Section 15.1 shall be paid by
Customer so that Pipeline will receive the funds no later than ten

such Due Date until the date of payment at the same rate of
interest and in the same manner as prescribed for pipeline refunds
