GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
If either party at any time observes a variation between the designated
meter and the check meter, it will promptly notify the other party
thereof and both parties will then cooperate to secure an immediate
verification of the accuracy of such equipment. Each party shall give
to the other notice of the time of all tests of meters reasonably in
advance of the holding of such tests in order that the other party may
conveniently have its representative present.
5.7 Correction for Errors of Meters
If, upon test, the total measurement error at a meter is found to be in
error not more than 1%, previous recordings of such equipment shall be
considered accurate in computing receipts or deliveries hereunder; but
such equipment shall be adjusted at once to record correctly. If, upon
test, the total measurement error at a meter is found to be inaccurate
by an amount exceeding 1%, at a recording corresponding to the average
hourly rate of flow for the period since the last preceding test , then
any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero
error for any period which is known definitely or agreed upon, but in
case the period is not known definitely or agreed upon, such correction
shall be for a period extending one half of the time elapsed since the
date of last test to the nearest day, not exceeding a correction period
of 15 days, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. Measurement data
corrections shall be processed within six months from the date of
production with a three month rebuttal period. This time limitation will
not apply in cases of deliberate omission or misrepresentation or mutual
mistake of fact. Transporter and Operator's other statutory or
contractual rights shall not otherwise be diminished by this provision.
A meter adjustment or correction becomes a prior period adjustment after
the fifth business day following the production month. Any measurement
prior period adjustments are taken back to the production month.
Refer to Section 5.5 hereof to determine the methods for correction of
deliveries during periods of inaccurate measurement exceeding one
percent (1%).
