Acceptance by the Commission of the liability provisions contained in this Tariff does not
constitute its determination that the limitation of liability imposed by the Company should
be upheld in a court of law, but the recognition that, as it is the duty of the courts to
adjudicate negligence claims and rights to recover damages therefor, so it is the duty of
the courts to determine the validity of the exculpatory provisions of this Tariff.
Cancellation of Service by a Customer
If a Customer cancels a Service order before the Service begins, before completion of the
Minimum Period, or before completion of some other period mutually agreed upon by the
Customer and the Company, a charge will be levied upon the Customer for the
nonrecoverable portions of expenditures or liabilities incurred expressly on behalf of the
Customer by the Company and not fully reimbursed by Installation and monthly charges.
, based on a Service order by a Customer, any construction has either begun or been
completed, but no Services provided, the nonrecoverable costs of such construction shall
be borne by the Customer.
Upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice , either Customer or Company shall have the
right, without cancellation charge or other liability, to cancel the affected portion of the
Service, if the Company is prohibited by governmental authority from furnishing said
portion, or if any material rate or term contained herein and relevant to the affected
Service is substantially changed by order of the highest court of competent jurisdiction
to which the matter is appeal, the Federal Communications Commission, or other local
state or federal government authority.
Cancellation for Cause by the Company
Upon nonpayment of any sum owing to the Company for a period of twenty (20) days
after the mailing date of the original unpaid bill, or upon a violation of any of the
provisions governing the furnishing of Service under this Tariff after having made
reasonable effort to obtain Customer compliance, the Company may, upon ten (10) days
written notification to the Customer, except in extreme cases, without incurring any
liability, immediately discontinue the furnishing of such Service. The written termination
notice will be distinguishable and separate from the regular monthly bill for service.
Under no circumstances shall service be terminated before twenty (20) days after the
mailing date of the original unpaid bill. Customer shall be deemed to have canceled
Service as of the date of such disconnection and shall be liable for any cancellation
charges set forth in this Tariff.

to a Customer immediately and without notice only where a dangerous condition is found
to exist or for theft or illegal use of service. In addition, Company shall may discontinue

if the Customer refuses to furnish information to the Company regarding
the Customer s credit-worthiness;
if the Customer provides false information to the Company regarding the

Customer communications Services, or its planned use of the Company
Service(s);
if the Customer states that it will not comply with a request of the

days past due; or
in the event of unauthorized use.
Following the disconnection of service for any of these reasons, the Company or the local
exchange utility acting as Company agent, will notify the telephone number end-
user/customer that service was disconnected and why. The notice will include all reasons
for the disconnection and will include a toll-free number where an end-user/customer can
obtain additional information. Notice shall be deemed given upon deposit, postage
prepaid, in the U.S. Mail to end-user s/customer s last known address and in compliance

Customer and only as set forth in Section 2.3. The Customer shall not use nor permit
others to use the Service in a manner that could interfere with Services provided to others
or that could harm the facilities of the Company or others.
2. Service furnished by the Company may be arranged for joint use or authorized use. The
joint user or Authorized User shall be permitted to use such Service in the same manner
as the Customer, but subject to the following:
One joint user or Authorized User must be designated as the Customer.
All charges for the Service will be computed as if the Service were to be
billed to one Customer. The joint user or Authorized User which has
been designated as the Customer will be billed for all components of the
Service and will be responsible for all payments to the Company. In the
event that the designated Customer fails to pay the Company, each joint
user or Authorized User shall be liable to the Company for all charges
incurred as a result of its use of the Company s Service.
In addition to the other provisions in this Tariff, Customers reselling company Services
shall be responsible for all interaction and interface with their own subscribers or
customers. The provision of the Service will not create a partnership or joint venture
between Company and Customer nor result in a joint communications Service offering
to the Customers of either the Company or the Customer.
6.4. Service furnished by the Company shall not be used for any unlawful or fraudulent
purposes.
The Customer will be billed directly by the LEC for certain Dedicated Access
arrangements selected by the Customer for the provisioning of direct access arrangements.

ordering of such arrangements, the Company will bill the Customer Local Access charges.
Payment Arrangements
The Customer is responsible for payment of all charges for Services furnished to the
Customer or its joint or Authorized Users. This responsibility is not changed due to any
use, misuse, or abuse of the Customer s Service or Customer provided equipment by third
parties, the Customer s employees, or the public.
The Company s bills are due upon receipt. Amounts not paid within 30 days from the
Due Date of the invoice will be considered past due. Customers will be assessed a late
fee on past due amounts in the amount of one and one-half percent (1 1/2 %) per month;

however, the late penalty fee will not be assessed on unpaid penalty charges and any
payment received shall first be applied to the bill for services rendered. If a Customer
presents an undue risk of nonpayment at any time, the Company may require that
Customer to pay its bills within a specified number of days and to make such payments
in cash or the equivalent of cash.
With regard to the Company s deposit policy, in determining whether a Customer presents
an undue risk of nonpayment, the Company shall consider the following factors: (A) the
Customer s payment history (if any) with the Company and its affiliates, (B) Customer
ability to demonstrate adequate ability to pay for the Service, (C) credit and related
information provided by Customer, lawfully obtained from third parties or publicly
available, and (D) information relating to Customer s management, owners and affiliates
(if any). For end users or Customers whom the Company believes a deposit is necessary,
Company reserves the right to collect an amount not to exceed one (1) month's estimated
charges as a deposit for service. This will be applied against the next month's charges
and, if necessary, a new deposit will be collected for the next month.
7.4. Disputes with respect to charges must be presented to the Company in writing within
thirty days from the date the invoice is rendered or such invoice will be deemed to be
correct and binding on the Customer.
If a LEC has established or establishes a Special Access surcharge, the Company will bill
the surcharge beginning on the effective date of such surcharge for Special Access
arrangements presently in Service. The Company will cease billing the Special Access
surcharge upon receipt of an Exemption Certificate or if the surcharge is removed by the
LEC.
In the event the Company incurs fees or expenses, including attorney s fees, in collecting,
or attempting to collect, any charges owed the Company, the Customer will be liable to
the Company for the payment of all such fees and expenses reasonably incurred.
Assignment
The obligations set forth in this Tariff shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns, provided, however, the
Customer shall not assign or transfer its rights or obligations without the prior written
consent of the Company.
Tax and Fee Adjustments (T)
All stated charges in this Tariff are computed by the Company exclusive of any federal
state, or local use, excise, gross receipts, sales or privilege taxes, duties, fees, or similar
liabilities (other than general income or property taxes) whether charged to or against the
Company or its Customer. Such taxes, fees, etc. shall be paid by the Customer in

addition to the charges stated in this Tariff. All such taxes, duties, and fees shall each be
shown as a separate line item on the Customer s monthly invoice.
A surcharge is imposed on all charges for Service originating at addresses in states which
levy a gross receipts tax on Company s operations. This surcharge is composed of a
factor of the gross receipts tax and taxes imposed directly or indirectly upon Company as
measured by the gross receipts payments or revenues of interstate access charges will be
shown as a separate line item on the Customer s monthly invoice.
(N)
When any municipality, or other political subdivision, local agency of government, or
department of public utilities imposes upon and collects from the Company a gross
receipts tax, occupation tax, license tax, permit fee, franchise fee or regulatory fee, such
taxes and fees shall, insofar as practicable, be billed pro rata to the Company s Customers
receiving service within the territorial limits of such municipality, other political
subdivision, local agency of government, or public utility commission.
The Company may adjust its rates and charges or impose additional rates and charges on
its Customers in order to recover amount it is required by governmental or quasi-
government authorities to collect from or pay to others in support of statutory or
regulatory programs. Examples of such programs include, but are not limited to, the
Universal Service Fund, the Primary Interexchange Carrier Charge, and compensation to
payphone service providers for use of their payphones to access the Company s services.

Method for Calculation of Airline Mileage
The airline mileage between two cities can be calculated using the Vertical (V) and
Horizontal (H) coordinates of the serving wire centers associated with the Company s POP
locations. The method for calculating the airline mileage is obtained by reference to
AT&T's Tariff F.C. No. 10, using the following formula:
the square root of (V1-V2Y + (H1-H2)2
where VI and HI correspond to the V & H coordinates of City 1 and V2 and H2
correspond to the V & H coordinates of City 2.
Example:
City 1
City 2
5004
5987
1406
3424
the square root of (5004-5987)2 + (1406-3424)2
The result is 709.83 miles. Any fractional miles are rounded to the next higher whole
number; therefore, the airline mileage for this example is 710 miles.
