RULES AND REGULATIONS

GOVERNING CONTRACTS FOR LOCAL EXCHANGE SERVICE Rates, other than for sho -term seasonal service and private branch exchange service, are based on annual contracts. Bills are rendered monthly. Ardmore Telephone Company reserves the right to discontinue service without fu her notice unless prompt payment is made. If service is suspended for nonpayment, service will be restored only upon payment of a restoration charge in addition to the overdue payment in full. SERVICE CONNECTION CHARGES Service connection charges as filed with the Alabama and Tennessee Public Service commissions will be quoted by contacting ATC. MOVING OF EQUIPMENT Subscribers who need their equipment changed from one location to another should give notice to ATC as far in advance of the move date as possible. Subject to the usual charges, ATC will change the location, provided service is available there, at as early a date as practicable and the conditions under which it is then working permit. RESPONSIBILITY OF PAYMENT The subscriber shall pay monthly in advance or on demand all charges for exchange service and equipment and shall pay monthly on demand all charges for toll service. The subscriber assumes responsibility for all charges for exchange service and toll messages originating at the subscriber’s station, and for toll messages received at the subscriber’s station, and for toll messages received at the subscriber’s station on which the charges have been reversed with consent to the person called. In the event of abandonment of the station, the nonpayment of any sum due or any other violation by the subscriber of ATC’s rules and regulations applying to subscriber’s contracts or to the furnishing of service, ATC may, without notice, either (a) suspend service until all violations have ceased or (b) terminate the subscriber’s contract without suspension of service or The subs charges for exchange monthly on demand all charges f esponsibility for all charges for exc scriber’s stati

(c) following a suspension of service, sever the connection and remove any of its equipment from the subscriber’s premises. When equipment has been removed for nonpayment, the contract is considered to have been terminated. Reinstallation of service may be made only upon the execution of a new contract. CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION CHARGES The charges and regulations specified in ATC’s general exchange tariff apply in connection with all classes of service, equipment or facilities by ATC. Customer premise equipment will be installed on a nonregulated basis. When a specific type of construction is desired by a subscriber — for example, when underground service connections are desired in places where aerial drop wires are regularly used to reach the subscriber’s premises or where the individual requirements of the subscriber make the installation unusually expensive — the subscriber is required to bear the cost of such special construction or installation.
