4. Responsibility of Customer for Payment

The customer is required to pay all charges for exchange services and facilities, and for toll messages in accordance with provisions contained elsewhere in these Tariffs.

Nor is the Telephone Company obligated to continue to furnish service to any individual or firm whose credit is or becomes, in the opinion of the Telephone Company, doubtful. In order to ensure the payment of all charges due for its service, the Telephone Company may require any applicant or customer to establish and maintain his credit by means of a cash deposit. Any such deposit shall be returned to the subscriber or credited to the customer's account at the termination of the service.

2. Deposits

In order to ensure the payment of all charges due for its service, the Telephone Company may require any applicant or customer to establish and maintain his credit by means of a cash deposit.

C. OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY OF THE TELEPHONE COMPANY.

1. Availability of Facilities

The Telephone Company's obligation to furnish exchange and toll service is dependent upon its ability to secure and retain without unreasonable expense, suitable facilities and rights for the construction and maintenance of the necessary poles, lines, circuits, equipment, etc.

2. Interruptions of Service

If service is interrupted for more than forty-eight hours other than by the negligence or willful act of the customer, and allowance at the minimum rate for the telephone facilities and class of service affected at the time of the interruption shall be made for the tie such interruption continues.

Any adjustment shall apply only to the period the interruption continues beyond twenty-four hours after due notice of the interruption is received by the Telephone Company. No other liability shall in any case attach to the company on account of interruptions of service.

4. Transmitting Messages

The Telephone Company does not transmit messages but offers the use of its facilities for communications between patrons. If because of transmission difficulties the operator, in order to accommodate the customer, repeats messages, she is deemed to be acting as the agent of the persons involved and no liability shall attach to the Telephone Company because of any errors made by the operator or misunderstandings that may arise between customers because of such errors.

5. Use of Connecting Company Lines

When suitable arrangements can be made, lines of other telephone companies may be used in establishing wire connections to points not reached by this Company's lines.

No liability shall attach to the Telephone Company by reason of any defacement or damage to the customer's premises resulting from the existence of the Telephone Company's instruments, apparatus and associated wiring on such premises, or by the installation or removal thereof, unless such defacement or damage is the result of the sole negligence of the Telephone Company.

All bills are payable at the Telephone Company's business office, or authorized collection agency. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the customer of the responsibility for paying promptly.

When warranted, in the judgment of the Telephone Company, special toll bills may be rendered. In such cases, the amounts billed are due and payable on demand.

In the event of default of payment of any sum due for either exchange or toll service, or both, the Company may discontinue service without further notice. Service need not be restored unless or until all amounts due at the time of default are paid in full including the charge, if any, for restoring the service.

The Telephone Company has the right to refuse to install customer service or permit such service to remain on premises of a public or semi-public character when the instrument is so located that the public in general or patrons of the customer may make use of the service. At such locations, however, service may be installed, provided the instrument is so located that it is not accessible to public use.

3. Use of Party Line Service

Applications for party line service are accepted by the Telephone Company with the understanding that each customer will so use the service as not to interfere with an equitable proportionate use of the service by the other customers on the same line. When the duration or number of local calls sent or received by a party line customer is so great as to prevent an equitable proportionate use of the line by other customers on the line, the Telephone Company shall have the right to require the customer to contract for a higher grade of service or discontinue the service of the customer in question.

4. Tampering with Equipment

The Telephone Company may refuse to furnish or may deny telephone service to any person, firm, or corporation on whose premises is located any telephone equipment owned by the Telephone Company which shows any evidence of tampering, manipulating, or operation, or use of any device whatsoever, for the purpose of obtaining telephone service without payment for the charges applicable to the service rendered.

CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES

A. General

Special charges in the form of installation charges, construction charges and monthly charges may be applicable in addition to the usual service connection charges and monthly rates when, because of the occasional nature of the service, the lack of permanency, the unusual investment or expense, or any other condition under which the Telephone Company is not properly protected in the proposed investment or the revenue does not reasonably compensate the Telephone Company - as for example:

(1) Conditions requiring the provision of special equipment or unusual methods of plant construction, installation, or maintenance.

(2) The customer's location requires the use of costly private right of way.

B. Extension of Facilities

For extensions required either within or outside the base rate area where the proposed service is temporary and the plant to be put in place would not all be of value to the Telephone Company in the general conduct of its business upon discontinuance of that service, the customer may be charged the estimated cost of construction.

If it is necessary to use private right of way not available to the Telephone Company without expense to it, the customer shall obtain or pay the expense of obtaining the required right of way.

Rules and regulations relating to extension of rural line service are found elsewhere in this Tariff.

C. Underground Construction

Where aerial facilities are being used to provide service to a customer's location and the customer requests that facilities be placed underground, the change from aerial to underground facilities and removing the aerial facilities, less the immediate net recovery value of the aerial facilities displaced.

Extension stations may be provided in connection with all classes of customer main station service except public pay stations. Off-premise business extensions, except semi-public pay station extensions, will be installed in a residence upon application of appropriate charges provided there is a residence main station maintained at the off-premise location.

JOINT USER SERVICE:

Joint user service is an arrangement whereby an individual, firm or corporation whose telephone needs are not such as to justify the provision of separate customer service is permitted to use the service of a customer. Upon application by the customer, the Telephone Company will extend service to joint users except that not more than two joint users will be permitted for each main line or for each trunk of a commercial PBX system. Joint user service is not furnished in a situation where a customer is engaged in the business of renting office space on a transient or permanent basis, or for other reasons desired to furnish telephone service to his clients.

Directory listings for joint user service will bear the same address and telephone number as the listing of the main station.

Joint users are permitted only in connection with business individual lines and PBX service.

The primary customer requesting joint user service shall be responsible for the payment of all charges, including tolls, incurred by said joint users.

If a construction charge is not made, the Company may require a contract with the customer covering service for a period of time based on costs.

Applicants may be required to make advance payments to cover all or a portion of the exchange service during the term contract, when in the opinion of the Telephone Company there is evidence of credit risk, or in cases of renters or tenants.

Payments for rural line construction are not refundable and all poles and equipment shall remain the property of the Telephone Company.
