Undercharging & overcharging Sample Clauses
The 'Undercharging & overcharging' clause defines how discrepancies between the amounts billed and the amounts that should have been billed are handled in a contract. Typically, this clause allows either party to identify and correct errors in invoicing, such as when a party is charged too much or too little for goods or services. It often sets out a process for notifying the other party of the error and for making the necessary adjustments, such as issuing refunds or additional invoices. The core function of this clause is to ensure fairness and accuracy in financial transactions by providing a clear mechanism for correcting billing mistakes.
Undercharging & overcharging. (a) If we undercharge you for any reason (including where the Meter has been found to be defective) we can require you to make a correcting payment and we will offer you the option to pay the correcting payment by instalments. In any event we will require you to make a correcting payment for amounts undercharged in the 12 months prior to the date that we advise you that you have been undercharged.
(b) If we overcharge you for any reason (including where the Meter has been found to be defective), then we will credit the amount to your account or you have the option of having the amount repaid to you. The 12 month limit referred to in clause 12.2(a) does not apply to amounts that we have overcharged you.
