Common use of Meter Tests Clause in Contracts

Meter Tests. At Purchaser’s expense, Purchaser shall keep its metering equipment accurate and in good working order, making such periodic tests as Purchaser deems necessary, but at least once during each Billing Year. Purchaser’s meters shall be maintained and calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications at least once during each Billing Year. Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable advance Notice of any meter test or calibration so that Seller may have its representatives present. Seller may, upon reasonable advance written notice, request a special test of the metering equipment at any time. The expense of such special test shall be paid by Seller if the equipment is found to be inaccurate by less than the manufacturer’s stated accuracy. If, upon any test, the equipment is found to be so inaccurate that it affects the measurement accuracy by the manufacturer’s stated accuracy or more, the cost of the meter test shall be paid by Purchaser and meter readings shall be corrected for a period extending back to the date on which such inaccuracy first occurred, if that date can be reasonably determined. If that date cannot be reasonably determined, corrections shall be made for the time period agreed upon by the Parties.
