GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICES - continued
Unpaid and Disputed Bills. Should Shipper fail to pay
part or all of the amount of any such bill, interest
thereon shall accrue at an average prime interest rate
computed in a manner consistent with section 154.501(d)
of the FERC's Regulations from the DUE DATE until date
of receipt of payment by transporter. If such failure
to pay continues 30 days after payment is due,
Transporter, in addition to any other remedy it may
have, after Transporter provides Shipper with 20 days
prior written notice may suspend further service to
Shipper until such amount is paid; provided however,
that if Shipper in good faith disputes in writing the
amount of any such bill or parts thereof and pays to
Transporter such amounts as it concedes to be correct,
and at any time thereafter within 30 days of the demand
made by Transporter shall furnish a 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 either by agreement
or judgment of the courts as may be the case, then
Transporter shall not be entitled to suspend further
service unless and until default be made in the
condition of such bond. If resolution of the dispute
is in favor of Shipper and the Shipper furnished a
surety bond and any interest assessed instead of paying
the disputed amount, then the Transporter shall
reimburse Shipper for the cost of securing the surety
bond and any interest assessed.. No payment by Shipper
or the amount of a disputed bill shall prejudice the
right of Shipper to claim an adjustment of the disputed
bill.
10.2 Any payments received shall first be applied to accrued
interest, then to additional charges due, then to the
previously outstanding principal due, and lastly, to
the most current principal due.
