GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
14. PAYMENTS:
14.1 Invoicing and Payment.
(a) Transporter shall have the right to invoice Shipper each
Month (as may be adjusted for invoicing or measurement cycle
purposes) for all purposes on the basis of nominated
quantities or estimated quantities, provided that
adjustments shall be made to such quantities in subsequent
Months' invoicing based on actual quantities, as
appropriate. Transporter's invoices will be prepared no
later than nine (9) Business Days after the close of each
Service Month. At Shipper's option, Transporter shall
submit invoices to Shipper electronically. To exercise such
option, unless Transporter otherwise agrees, Shipper must
give Transporter thirty (30) Days' written notice to
effectuate electronic invoicing. Additionally, upon thirty
(30) Days' notice provided via posting on Transporter's
Internet Web Site, Transporter may require Shippers to
receive invoices and/or provide communications regarding
invoices electronically via the Internet. Shipper must also
execute any electronic access agreement which may be
required by Transporter for such purpose. In any Month,
Transporter may submit to Shipper separate invoices for
applicable charges and fees related to service provided for
Shipper under this Tariff (including, but not limited to,
invoices for fixed charges, e.g., Reservation Charges, at
any time during the applicable Service Month; invoices for
variable charges, e.g., commodity, usage and overrun
charges; and invoices for penalties). In the event that
conduct by Shipper under a Service Agreement or the
provisions of this Tariff constitutes a violation of its
obligations thereunder such that Shipper would incur more
than one penalty for the same act or failure to act,
Transporter will charge, and Shipper shall pay, in addition
to any amounts due under Section 5.7, only the total penalty
charges applicable to the conduct or action yielding the
highest dollar amount.
(b) Payment of all invoiced amounts shall be due and received by
Transporter in accordance with Transporter's instructions
within ten (10) Days after the date of the invoice, unless
Shipper
