In-Town Curbside and Rural Curbside <br /> must either be billed on separate invoices, or clearly itemized on one invoice. Data for the In-Town <br /> Curbside and Rural Curbside programs must be reported separately. <br /> If there are questions regarding the invoice or collection data,payment shall be guaranteed within <br /> thirty(30)days of satisfactory resolution of the questions on the invoice or collection data. <br /> If Contractor should fail to provide requested and necessary corollary services required as part of <br /> this contract,payment on up to two months' invoices may be withheld until such services are <br /> provided. Corollary services include: <br /> Repairs or replacement of County and or Towns' property,or private property due to <br /> damage caused by Contractor as part of the recycling operation.

In general,if services are temporarily canceled at County's <br /> request,County will pay in full for services which are not performed(except as otherwise noted <br /> within this Contract),and in such case County may request that Contractor provide said services on <br /> a make-up day at no further cost to County. If Contractor is unable to provide service due to severe <br /> weather or other event,County may negotiate with Contractor and receive reduction in the cost of <br /> services,to be deducted from the bill for the period during which services were not provided,or <br /> from a bill for any service period following that service period. Any reduction in the costs of <br /> services shall be based upon the pro-rata share of services not rendered minus Contractor's <br /> verifiable overhead expenses plus any verifiable increased expenses(i.e. overtime costs incurred by <br /> Contractor due to excessive amounts of recyclable materials having been held over during period of <br /> cancellation). <br /> 13 <br />
