TARIFF FORMAT
Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the heading of each sheet. Sheets are
numbered sequentially. However, occasionally, when a new sheet is added between
sheets already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new sheet added between
sheets 14 and 15 would be 14.
Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of
each sheet. These numbers are used to determine the most current sheet version on file
with the Commission. For example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd Revised
Sheet 14. Because of various suspension periods, deferrals, etc. the Commission follows
in its Tariff approval process, the most current sheet number on file with the Commission
is not always the sheet in effect. Consult the Check Sheet for the sheet currently in
effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each
level of code is subservient to its next higher level:
1.1.
2. 1. LA.
1. LA. 1.
2. 1. LA. 1. (a).
A.l.(a).
A.l.(a).I.(i).
A.l.(a).I.(i).(I).
Check Sheets - When a Tariff filing is made with the Commission, an updated Check
Sheet accompanies the Tariff filing. The Check Sheet lists the sheets contained in the
Tariff with a cross reference to the current revision number. When new sheets are added
the Check Sheet is changed to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filing
are designated by an asterisk (*). There will be no other symbols used on this sheet if
these are the only changes made to it (i., the format, etc., remains the same, just revised
revision levels on some sheets). The Tariff user should refer to the latest Check Sheet to
find if a particular sheet is the most current on file with the Commission.

equipment. The unauthorized use of the Customer s communications equipment

that are transmitted or carried over the Company s network services without the
authorization of the Customer. The Customer shall be fully liable for all such charges.

INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE
Credit for Interruptions:When the use of service or facilities furnished by the Company
is interrupted due to any cause other than the negligence or willful act of the Customer
or the operation or failure of the facilities or equipment provided by the Customer, a pro
rata adjustment of the monthly Recurring Charges subject to interruption will be allowed
for the service and facilities rendered useless and inoperative by reason of the
interruption whenever said interruption continues for a period of 24 hours or more from
the time the interruption is reported to or known to exist by the Company, except as
otherwise specified in the Company s tariffs. If the Customer reports a service, facility
or circuit to be inoperative but declines to release it for testing and repair, it is
considered to be impaired, but not interrupted. Credit allowance for interruptions of
service which are not due to Company s testing or adjusting, to the negligence of the
Customer, or to the failure of channels, equipment and/or communications equipment
provided by the Customer, are subject to the general liability provisions set forth in
Section 2.4., herein. It shall be the obligation of the Customer to notify Company of any
interruptions of service. Before giving such notice, the Customer shall ascertain that the
trouble is not being caused by any action or omission of the Customer, not within the
Customer s control.
For purposes of credit computation, every month shall be considered to have 720 hours.
No credit shall be allowed for an interruption of a continuous duration of less than two
hours.
The Customer shall be credited for an interruption of two hours or more at the rate
11720th of the monthly recurring charge for each hour or major fraction thereof that the
interruption continues.
