GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
5. BILLING AND PAYMENT (Cont'd)
case of any transportation or storage service) or within seven (7)
months (in the case of a sales service). The party receiving a
claim of error and request for adjustment shall have three (3)
months to rebut such claim, otherwise the statement shall be
adjusted as requested. The time limitations set forth in this
Section 5.3 shall not apply in the case of deliberate omission or
misrepresentation, mutual mistake of fact or government required
rate changes; nor shall the parties other statutory or contractual
rights be diminished by this Section.
5.4 Delayed Payment
Should Shipper fail to pay all of the amount of any invoice, as
herein provided, when such amount is due, interest on the unpaid
portion of the invoice shall accrue at the then effective prime
interest rate (JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA). Transporter may suspend
service to any Shipper which is delinquent in payments, provided
that Transporter shall give Shipper written notice of the
delinquency and of Transporter's intent to suspend if the
delinquency is not remedied within fifteen (15) days of the date of
the notice. Transporter may terminate service to any Shipper which
is delinquent in payments, provided Transporter shall give Shipper
written notice of the delinquency and of Transporter's intent to
curtail or terminate if the delinquency is not rendered within
thirty (30) days of the notice and then only upon written notice to
the Commission and, if required by the Commission's regulations,
authorization by the Commission.
However, if Shipper in good faith shall dispute the amount of any
such invoice or part thereof and shall pay to Transporter such
amounts as it concedes to be correct, accompanied by documentation
identifying the basis for the dispute, and at any time within
thirty (30) days after a demand made by Transporter, shall furnish
good and sufficient surety bond, guaranteeing payment to
Transporter of the amount ultimately found due upon such bills
after a final determination which may be reached either by
agreement or judgment of the courts, as may be the case, then
Transporter shall not be entitled to suspend or terminate service
on account of such disputed claim while so secured, until default
be made in the conditions of such bond.
