In the event the Company or the DUC learn of possible fraudulent use of any
Company services, the Company will make an effort to contact the Customer, but
service may be terminated or blocked without notice and without liability to the
Company.
The above language does not constitute a determination by the Commission that
a limitation of liability imposed by the Company should be upheld in a court
law. Acceptance for filing by the Commission recognizes that it is a court'
