ATC cleared the aircraft to maintain 9000 ft. During climb to 9000 ft, ATC reclred the aircraft to maintain 13000 ft. Passing through 10300 ft, ATC queried the aircraft about altitude. The crew responded with 10300 ft. ATC stated that the aircraft was only cleared to 9000 ft. The crew responded that the aircraft had been cleared to 13000 ft. ATC reclred the aircraft to maintain 9000 ft. The crew then descended to 9000 ft without further incident or comment from ATC.
