GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
(Continued)
5. INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT AND RECORDS
5.1 Inspection of Equipment and Data: NBP and Shipper shall have the
right to inspect equipment installed or furnished by the other,
and the charts and other measurement or test data of the other, at
all times during business hours; but the reading, calibration and
adjustment of such equipment and changing of charts shall be done
only by the entity installing or furnishing same. Unless NBP and
Shipper otherwise agree, each shall preserve all original test
data, charts and other similar records in such party's possession,
for a period of at least six (6) years.
5.2 Information for Billing: When information necessary for billing
by NBP is in the control of Shipper, Shipper shall furnish such
information, estimated if actual is not available, to NBP on or
before the third (3rd) working day of the month following the
month transportation service was rendered. If Shipper furnishes
estimated information, the actual information shall be furnished
to NBP on or before the fifth (5th) working day of the month
following the month transportation service was rendered.
Verification of Computations: NBP and Shipper shall have the
right to examine at reasonable times the books, records and charts
of the other to the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any
statement, charge or computation made pursuant to these General
Terms and Conditions of Service and to the rate schedules to which
they apply, within twelve (12) months of any such statement,
charge or computation. The time limitation for disputing
allocations shall be six (6) months from the date of initial
month-end allocation with a three-month rebuttal period, provided,
however, that this limitation shall not apply in the case of a
deliberate omission or misrepresentation or mutual mistake of
fact, and shall not diminish the parties' other statutory or
contractual rights. In accordance with NAESB Standard 2.3.11,
Version 1.8, a meter adjustment or correction becomes a prior
period adjustment after the fifth (5th) business day following the
Business Month. Any measurement of prior period adjustments are
taken back to the production month. These provisions are in
accordance with NAESB Standard 2.3.7, Version 1.8, which
establishes a cutoff for the closing of measurement of five (5)
business days after business month.
