SECTION 2- REGULATIONS
B. OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY OF COMPANY
1.Liability Limitations
Approval of language contained in this tariff by the Commission does not constitute a determination by the
Commission that the limitation of liability imposed by the Company should be upheld in a court of law.
Approval by the Commission merely recognizes that since it is a court's responsibility to adjudicate
negligence and consequent damage claims, it is also the court's responsibility to determine the validity of
any exculpatory clauses.
2.Availability of Facilities
The Company's obligation to furnish service or to continue to furnish service is dependent on its ability to
obtain, retain, and maintain without unreasonable expense suitable rights and facilities, and to provide for
the installation of those facilities required incident to the furnishing and maintenance of that service.
3.Service Irregularities and Interruptions
In the event of an interruption to service which is not due to the negligence or willful act of the customer,
there will be allowed a prorata adjustment of the monthly charges involved, for the service and facilities
rendered useless and inoperative by reason of the interruption, during the time said interruption continues
in excess of twenty-four hours from the time it is reported to the Telephone Company or detected by the
Company. For the purpose of administering this regulation, every month is considered to have thirty days.
For the purpose of applying this provisions, the word "interruption" shall mean the inability to complete
calls; incoming, outgoing, or both. "Interruption" does not include and no credit allowance shall be given
for service difficulties such as slow dial tone, busy circuits, or other network and/or switching capacity
shortages. Nor shall the credit allowance apply where service is interrupted by the negligence or willful act
of the customer or the failure of facilities provided by the customer, or unlawful or improper use of the
facilities or service.
No credit allowance will be made for interruptions due to electric power failure, where by the provisions of
this tariff, the customer is responsible for providing electric power.
The liability of the Company for damages arising out of mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays or errors,
or defects in transmission occurring in the course of furnishing service or facilities, and not caused by the
negligence of the customer, or of the Company in failing to maintain proper standards of maintenance and
operation and to exercise reasonable supervision, will in no event exceed an amount equivalent to the
proportionate charge to the customer for the period of service during which the mistake, omission,
interruption, delay or error, or defect in transmission occurs.

3.Responsibility of The Company
Telecommunications services are not represented as adapted to the use of customer-provided
terminal equipment or communications systems. Where customer-provided terminal equipment or
communications systems are used with telecommunications services, the responsibility of the
Company is limited to furnishing service components suitable for telecommunications services
and to the maintenance and operation of service components in a proper manner for those services.
Subject to this responsibility, the Company is not responsible for (1) the through-transmission of
signals generated by the customer-provided terminal equipment or communications systems, or
for the quality of, or defects in this transmission; or (2) the reception of signals by customer-
provided terminal equipment or communications systems; or (3) address signaling, where this
signaling is performed by customer-provided signaling equipment.
At the customer's request, the Company will provide the interface parameters needed to permit
customer-provided terminal equipment to operate properly with the Company's
telecommunications services.
The Company may make changes in its telecommunications services, equipment, operations or
procedures, where these changes are consistent with Part 68 of the FCC's Rules and Regulations.
If changes made by the Company can be reasonably expected to render any customer's
communications system or terminal equipment incompatible with telecommunications services, or
require modification or alteration of the customer-provided communications systems or terminal
equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer will be given
adequate notice of the changes in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.

1. Terms and conditions
Listings are regularly provided in connection with local exchange service. At the request of the customer,
the listing may be omitted from the directory and directory assistance records (Non-Published Service).
The rates and regulations specified in this section apply only to the alphabetical directory. The alphabetical
directory is a list of telephone numbers of customers and others arranged alphabetically by surname,
business, association, institution, or other nonresidence name.
The alphabetical directory is designed for the purpose of informing calling parties of the telephone number
of customers and others listed in it. Accordingly, listings are intended solely for purposes of identification
and are limited to information which is essential to such identification.
The Company does not publish a directory of subscriber listings. The Company, however, does arrange for
the Subscriber's main billing number to be placed in the directory of the dominant local exchange carrier.
All Directory Listings, regardless of type, must conform to the specifications for the directories. The
Company reserves the right to modify the listings to accommodate the space limitations in the directory.
Not all listing types are available in all directories.
The Company may refuse a listing which does not constitute a legally authorized or adopted name, or any
listing which in its opinion is likely to mislead or to deceive calling parties as to the identity of the listed
party, or is intended for advertising purposes or is more elaborate than is reasonably necessary to identify
the listed party. The listing of a service, commodity or trade name is not permitted except when such
service, commodity or trade name is a part of the name under which the listed party conducts his or her
business. The Company may, upon notifying the Customer, discontinue any listing found to be in violation
of the foregoing regulations.
A descriptive term characterizing the listed party's business or purpose in a general way may be furnished
(in abbreviated form) as a part of the listing, when desired and available. When the character of the listed
party's business or purpose is apparent from the name under which it is conducted, a further designation is
unnecessary and is not furnished.
Abbreviations may be used to limit the length of any listing when in the opinion of the Company, the
clearness of the listing and the identification of the listed party is not impaired by use of abbreviations.
Non-Published Service customers forfeit non-address, non-list, or non-published service privacy when
calling the Universal Emergency Number Service (911). The telephone number and address of the station
from which the emergency call originates are passed to the Public Safety Answering Point along with the
call in order for emergency units to respond to the call.
Incoming calls to Non-Published Service customers will be completed by the Company only when the
calling party places the call by number. The Company will adhere to this practice regardless of any claim
of emergency the calling party may present.
