FPSC Natural Gas Tariff Volume No 9 Original Sheet No. 27 RULES AND REGULATIONS (Continued) The Company may also recalculate the payment quarterly if it determines that changes in Customer equipment or billing rates warrant. However, the Company may only begin charging such recalculated quarterly amounts on the Customer's next successive bill if the recalculated budgeted payment amount varies by 35% or more from the budgeted payment amount then in effect. Any balances outstanding at the time of a non -annual recalculation shall be included in such recalculation with the objective of achieving a net zero balance at the end of the program year. A Customer's participation in the Budget Billing Plan will be continuous unless the Customer requests that participation in the plan be discontinued, or gas service has been terminated at the premise, or the Customer is delinquent in paying the budgeted payment amount, which may result in shut-off for non-payment and/or removal from the program. If a Customer no longer participates in the plan, the Customer shall pay any deferred debit balances with their next regular monthly bill, with any deferred credit balance being used to reduce the amount due from the next regular monthly bill. Upon termination from the plan, for any reason, any billed outstanding balance not paid by the next due date shall be considered past due and late payment fees shall apply. In addition, prior to plan termination, late payment fees shall apply to past due Budget Billing Plan payment amounts. 22. LIMITS OF COMPANY RESPONSIBILITIES The Company shall not be liable for any property damage, fatality, or personal injury sustained on the Customer's premise resulting from the Customer's installation of the gas pipe, fittings, appliances, storage tanks, compressors, and apparatus of any type of others on the Customer's premises. The Company will not be responsible for the use, care or handling of gas delivered to the Customer after it passes from the Company's lines on the Customer's side of the point of delivery. The Company shall not be liable to the Customer for naturally occurring or other impurities, regardless of the sources, such as water, sand, black powder, sulfur, butane, or other chemicals or compounds in the Gas delivered to the Customer or their vehicle. Whenever the Company deems an emergency or system operating condition warrants interruption, curtailment or other limitation of the Gas Service being rendered, such interruption, curtailment or other limitation shall not constitute a breach of contract and shall not render the Company liable for damages suffered as a result of such interruption, curtailment or other limitation of Gas Service or excuse the Customer from continuing to fulfill its obligations to the Company. In no event shall the Company be under any obligation to inspect the gas piping or appliances of a Customer. Where the Company has reason to believe the flues, gas piping or appliances do not comply with recognized requirements or code, the Company may refuse to supply gas to the Customer. However, the Company shall have no responsibility whatsoever for determining whether any local code or ordinance or any other government requirement is applicable. No Customer or other person shall, unless authorized by the Company, operate, change or tamper with any of the Company's facilities.
