Unused Outlet Points Sample Clauses
The 'Unused Outlet Points' clause defines how electrical outlet points that are installed but not utilized in a project are to be handled. Typically, this clause specifies whether the client or contractor is responsible for the cost of these unused outlets and may outline procedures for documenting or removing them. Its core function is to clarify financial and operational responsibility for outlet points that were planned but ultimately not needed, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring transparency in project billing and scope.
Unused Outlet Points. (a) If:
(i) the Shipper has no Contracted Capacity at an Outlet Point; and
(ii) such point has not been used, or is, in the Operator's opinion (acting reasonably and after consulting with the Shipper), unlikely to be used, to Deliver Gas to the Shipper for a period, in aggregate, greater than 12 continuous months, then the Operator may, at the cost of the Operator, decommission, remove and deal with or dispose of as it sees fit (including selling for its own benefit) any part or the whole of that Outlet Point and any Associated Outlet Station. Upon the commencement of such decommissioning, such Outlet Point, subject to clause 15.16(b), ceases to be an Outlet Point for the purpose of this Contract.
(b) If requested by the Shipper, the Shipper and the Operator will discuss in good faith deferring the decommissioning of the Outlet Point and any Associated Outlet Station on the basis that the Shipper will pay ongoing maintenance charges incurred by the Operator in maintaining the Outlet Point and any Associated Outlet Station.
(c) If subsequent to the commencement of such decommissioning, the Shipper wishes to use such point as an Outlet Point under this Contract, the Shipper must give at least 10 months written notice to the Operator and must fully indemnify the Operator for all costs, losses, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Operator in respect of such recommissioning of the point as an Outlet Point for the purposes of this Contract and in respect of recommissioning any Associated Outlet Station.
(d) An Outlet Point recommissioned in accordance with clause 15.16(c) is subject to Charges in accordance with clause 6.11.
