10. BILLING AND PAYMENT
10.1 Unit of Measurement
The unit of measurement for the purpose of billing shall be one (1) dekatherm (Dth),
consisting of one million (1,000,000) British Thermal Units. The number of dekatherms
delivered shall be determined by multiplying the number of cubic feet of gas delivered,
measured on the measurement basis established by Section 7 of the General Terms and
Conditions, by the total heating value of such gas, in British Thermal Units per cubic
foot, as defined in Section 1 of the General Terms and Conditions and by dividing the
product by 1 million (1,000,000).
10.2 Monthly Bill
Pipeline shall bill Customer on or before the tenth of each month for services rendered
hereunder during the preceding month.
10.3 Access to Billing Data
Both Pipeline and Customer shall have the right to examine at reasonable times the
books, records, computer records, and charts of the other to the extent necessary to
verify the accuracy of any statement, charge or computation made under or pursuant to
any of the provisions hereof.
10.4 More Than One Customer
When two or more persons constitute Customer under one (1) service agreement, for
billing purposes as between such persons, and except as may otherwise be agreed, each
such person shall be charged for that proportion of the total monthly charge under each
rate schedule which service to such person under such rate schedule bears to total
service under such rate schedule, pursuant to such Service Agreement. Such
proportionate billing shall not affect the joint and several obligations of such
persons under such Service Agreement.
10.5 Payment
Customer shall pay Pipeline by check or electronic transfer of federal funds no later
than ten (10) days from the date of the bill as specified in Section 10.2, except when
such day is a Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday, in which case payment is due the
following business day (hereinafter called Due Date), for service provided during the
preceding month, and billed by Pipeline for said month according to the measurements,
computations and rates provided; provided, however, if Customer pays by check sent
directly to Pipeline's lockbox, it must be received by Pipeline one day prior to the
Due Date, and if Customer pays by check sent directly to Pipeline's Corporate Offices,
it must be received by Pipeline two days prior to the Due Date. If Customer pays by
electronic transfer, payment shall be considered to have been made on the date when
such payment is transferred by Customer to a bank account designated by Pipeline. All
payments shall be identified by invoice number and, if payment differs from invoiced
amount, shall include remittance detail except when the payment is made by electronic
funds transfer (EFT), in which case, the remittance detail is due within two Business
Days of the payment due date. Payments will be applied in accordance with
documentation provided by Customer.
