Electronic Signature

            Gas South offers the option for some types of Customers to execute a Natural Gas Supply Agreement ("Agreement") electronically by completing the procedures specified on this website which shall constitute the final Agreement of Gas South and the Customer and is conclusive proof of such Agreement. Customer's electronic completion of enrollment through this website, including by means of "clicks", shall be deemed in "writing", and the Customer shall be deemed to have "signed" and be bound to the terms of such Agreement to the same extent and with the same effect as if the Customer had signed the Agreement manually. Customer acknowledges the choice to sign an Agreement manually, which he/she waives by signing electronically. Customer will not contest the legally binding nature, validity or enforceability of such Agreement based on the fact that it was entered electronically and expressly waives any and all rights it may have to assert any such claim. The individual completing the procedures electronically is authorized to legally bind the Customer to this Agreement. Printed and electronic copies of this transaction shall be deemed established and maintained in the normal course of business and may be introduced in evidence in any legal proceeding as original evidence to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary form, and neither Party may contest their admissibility on the basis that they were not originated and maintained in documentary form.

 

Electronic Bill Payment Service

            You may use the electronic bill payment service (“EPB Service”) via Website access or mobile application to make a one-time payment, or via Website access to make automatic recurring payments (“Autopay”). Payments will be made by either electronic funds transfers made directly from your bank account or through use of your debit card (each an electronic funds transfer) or by charging your credit card account. By using the EBP Service for a one-time payment of a billing statement, you authorize Gas South to obtain payment in the amount due for such billing statement from your designated bank or credit card account. By using the EBP Service for AutoPay, you authorize Gas South to obtain payment in the amount of the total due for each monthly billing statement from your designated bank or credit card account on a recurring basis until you terminate the authorization. The amount shown as due on your monthly bill will constitute notice to you of any variance in amount from the bill payment amount paid the previous month.

 

Timely payment of your Gas South billing statement at all times remains your sole responsibility. If an electronic funds transfer or charge to your credit card is rejected, or for any other reasons not completed, and Gas South does not receive payment in full by the due date, you remain fully responsible not only for the amount of the bill, but for any late fees and other charges. You agree that all payment account (e.g. account number) and/or payment card information (e.g. debit or credit card) information is complete and accurate and that you have full authority to authorize payment of your billing statements by use of such account/payment card.

 

You may terminate your participation in the EBP Service or AutoPay program at any time by either logging into your online account and cancelling your participation or by calling Gas South at 877-472-4932. To cancel your next payment, we must receive notification from you in time to cancel the transaction. For credit card payments or payments made directly from your bank account, you must tell us at least three (3) days prior to the payment date. Gas South reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your use of the EBP Service at any time for any reason or no reason.
