Common use of Billing Periods Clause in Contracts

Billing Periods. ▇▇▇▇▇ ordinarily are rendered at regular monthly intervals, but may be rendered more or less frequently at the Company's option. Non-receipt of bills by the customer does not release or diminish the obligations of the customer with respect to payment thereof. The word "month" as it pertains to the supply of service shall mean the period of approximately thirty (30) days between meter readings. Meters may be read more or less frequently when special readings are required at the customer's request or when the Company has been unable to obtain readings. The Company shall have the right to establish billing districts for the purpose of reading meters and rendering bills to the customers at various dates. A change or revision of any Rate Schedule shall be applicable to all bills on which there is usage on or after the effective date of such change or revision, except as otherwise ordered by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. When a customer requests service termination, or when the Company discovers a customer has terminated service by moving from the premises served, or when the Company disconnects service due to non-payment of the account or for other reasons, the Company will render a Final Bill addressed to the customer's forwarding address, if known, or to the last known address, for the entire balance of the account, including a bill calculation from the last regular actual reading date, which period may vary widely. Bills are due by the date indicated thereon and are payable only at the Company's offices or authorized agencies for collection. If partial payment is made, the amount will be applied to items of indebtedness in the same order as they have accrued.
