C. Deposits 1. The Company may require an applicant or a customer to make a suitable cash deposit to be held by the Company as a guarantee of the payment of charges for service. The fact that a deposit has been made neither relieves the applicant nor the customer from complying with the Company's regulations as to advance payments and the prompt payment of bills on presentation nor constitutes a waiver or modification of the regulations of the Company providing for the discontinuance of service for nonpayment of any sums due the Company for service rendered. 2. Applicants or customers who request service in a location where the Company believes, in its sole discretion, the equipment may be subject to loss or damage through theft, vandalism or other reasons involving a responsibility on the part of the customer will be required to make a suitable deposit to cover that potential loss or damage, such deposit not to exceed the value of the equipment furnished. 3. The amount of deposit, if applicable, will be determined in accordance with the Company’s policies. 4. Deposits, if applicable, will be refunded or applied, in accordance with the Company’s policies. 5. The Company does not apply interest on deposit amounts that it holds or upon the return of deposit amounts to the applicant or customer.

Applications for service may be made orally or in writing. B. The Company reserves the right to refuse service to any applicant who is found to be indebted to the Company for service previously furnished until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of all such indebtedness. The Company may also refuse to furnish service to any applicant desiring to establish service for former customers of the Company who are indebted for previous service, regardless of the listing requested for such service, until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of such indebtedness. C. If telephone service is established and it is subsequently determined that either conditions in B. above exist, the Company may suspend or disconnect such service until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of the prior indebtedness. D. When an application for service and facilities or requests for additions, rearrangements, relocation, or modifications of service and equipment are canceled in whole or in part prior to completion of the work involved, the applicant is required to reimburse the Company for all expense incurred in handling the request before notice of cancellation is received. Such charge, however, is not to exceed all charges which would apply if the work involved in complying with the request had been completed. E. When equipment has been ordered for the specific needs of a customer and the installation thereof is unduly delayed by or at the request of the customer, appropriate charges apply for such equipment for the period of the delay.
