TERMS AND CONDITIONS
GOVERNING ELECTRIC SERVICE
Furnished By
CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
Issued April 1, 1955
APPLICATION OR CONTRACT FOR SERVICE:
All applications for service, except certain government
contracts, shall be made on the Company's standard ap-
plication or contract form, and shall be signed by the Cus-
tomer and accepted by the Company before service will
be supplied by the Company. The Company may refuse
any applicant indebted to the Company for service rend-
ered at any location until such indebtedness is paid for or
secured to the satisfaction of the Company.
RATES:
The rate schedules will be on file in each local office,
district office and in the home office of the Company and
copies may be obtained by the Customer on request.
Company's rates will be applied in accordance with and
subject to the limitations as set out in each rate schedule.
All rates are subject to change by any regulatory or gov-
ernmental body having legal right to do so and whenever
the rate under which a customer is being served is lowered
by the Company or changed by any regulatory body, the
rate as changed will be applied to the customer's service
under his existing contract.
OPTIONAL RATES:
When more than one rate is available, the conditions
and circumstances under which each of such rates is avail-
able are explained in the published rate schedules, and the
selection of a rate from those available lies with and is the
responsibility of the Customer.
The Company will, at the request of the Customer, ad-
vise with and explain to Customer the conditions under
which each rate is available and its application to the ser-
vice requirements of Customer, but the Company will not
be responsible for any failure of the Customer to select
the rate which will continue to be the lowest and /or most
favorable to the Customer, and will not be responsible for
Customer being served under the most favorable rate at
all times. The Company will not make refunds due to the
difference, if any, between the amount of charges under
a rate selected or agreed upon by a Customer and the
amount the charges would have been under, any other
available rate.
A Customer, having selected or agreed to a rate, will
not be entitled to a different rate available for his service
unless and until he requests it in writing, and may not
change to another available rate within the next succeed-
ing twelve months period unless there is a substantial
change in the character or condition of his operations and
the service used by him.
MONTHLY BILLS:
Bills for service will be rendered monthly unless other-
wise specified. The term "month" for billing purposes shall
mean the period between any two consecutive readings of
the meters by the Company, such readings to be taken as
near as practicable every thirty days.
Monthly bills are due when rendered and are payable,
unless otherwise specified, on or before the date shown on
the face of the bill. Bills not paid by this date are in de-
fault and service may be discontinued for such default.
Failure to receive a bill in no way exempt's a Customer
from payment of bills or the provisions of these Terms
and Conditions.
When the Company is unable to read a meter after rea-
sonable effort, the Customer will be billed at the average
of the last three previous monthly bills and the billing
adjusted when the meter is read.
SECURITY FOR PAYMENT OF BILLS AND
PERFORMANCE OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS BY
CUSTOMER:
Customer shall upon request by Company, deposit with
Company as security for the payment of bills owing and
to become owing and, without limitation by such state-
ment, as security also for the performance of all other
obligations of the Customer, a sum of money equal to two
average monthly bills for service furnished or to be furn-
ished, as estimated by Company. In case Customer's bills
for any two consecutive monthly billing periods of normal
operation actually prove to exceed appreciably the amount
of the deposit, Company may at its option, require Custo-
mer to deposit an additional amount of money sufficient
to make the total amount on deposit with Company equal
to the amount of bills for said two consecutive months, and
Customer agrees in such case to so deposit with Company
such additional amount of money.
METERING AND TESTING OF METERS:
Customer shall provide at a point on his premises, to
be mutually agreed upon, a suitable location for the in-
stallation of meters and such other equipment as Company
may deem necessary to enable it to deliver power and
energy hereunder, and properly protect the Company's
property on Customer's premises and permit no one to
inspect or tamper with the Company's wirings, meters,
apparatus and equipment, except the Company agents
and persons authorized by law to do so. All bills will be
calculated upon the registration of said meter or meters.
Customer's service outlet shall be so arranged that the
Company can measure the Customer's entire electric ser-
vice with one meter unless otherwise specified in the rate
schedule.
Should any meter fail to register, the electric power and
energy delivered during the period of failure shall for
billing purposes, be estimated from the best information
available.
Maximum Demand: The maximum demand supplied to
the Customer where needed to be known in the computa-
tion of bills shall be determined by a standard approved
type of demand meter and the readings of said meter shall
be conclusive as to the maximum demand, unless upon
being tested, said meter shall be found to register inac-
curately and its error shall exceed three per cent (3 %) of
full scale.
Amount of Energy Delivered: The amount of energy
supplied to the Customer shall be determined by means
of an integrating watt -hour meter of standard approved
type, and the readings thereof shall be deemed conclusive
evidence as to the quantity of energy supplied hereunder,
unless upon being tested said meter shall be found to
register inaccurately and its error shall exceed two per
cent (2 %).
Testing of Demand and /or Watt -hour Meters: Meters
will be tested as reasonably necessary, and whenever any
test shall show either meter to be registering in error be-
yond the limits specified, such meter shall be adjusted
within the limits of error so specified and whenever said
meters are so adjusted, the readings thereof shall be cor-
rected, and payments be made accordingly. No such cor-
rections shall be made, as to any bill rendered by the
Company, unless requested before the expiration of the
calendar month next succeeding the month in which such
readings were made.
MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ON MOTOR INSTALLATIONS:
CUSTOMER'S PREMISES AND RESPONSIBILITY . Unless otherwise agreed
FOR INJURIES AND DAMAGE THEREFROM: tatives of the Co m and
Customer shall maintain adequate protective equipment
in good operating condition on his equipment and other-
wise install and maintain his electrical equipment in an
entirely safe and efficent manner and in full compliance
with all laws and local ordinances and the National Elec-
tric Code and the rules and regulations of the Company
ineffect at any time. The duly authorized agents of the
Company shall have free access at all reasonable hours
to the premises of the Customer for the purpose of inspect-
ing wiring, apparatus and equipment, removing the Com-
pany's property, reading meters, and for other purposes
incident to the furnishing of service. The Company does
not, however, assume any duty of inspecting the Custo-
mer's wiring, apparatus, machinery or equipment, and
will not be responsible therefor, and it is particularly
understood that the Customer assumes full responsibility
for electric energy furnished to him at and past the Point
of Delivery, described as being the point where the electric
energy first leaves the line provided and owned by Com-
pany and enters the line provided and /or owned by custo-
mer, and shall protect and save harmless the Company
from all claims for injuries and damages to persons and
property occurring upon the premises of Customer except
where it is shown that the negligence of the Company or
its agent or agents was the sole proximate cause of such
injury or damage.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF COMPANY
FOR INJURIES AND DAMAGES:
The Company will not be responsible or liable for in-
juries, and /or damages caused by or resulting from fail-
ure to furnish electric energy and service of any kind and
amount contracted for and /or for injuries and damages
resulting from the performance or non - performance of
any acts or things by Company required of it in or any-
wise connected with the furnishing of energy and service
by Company, unless it be shown that the negligence of
the Company or its agent or agents was the sole proxi-
mate cause of the injury or damage complained of.
EXCLUSIVE SERVICE ON INSTALLATION
CONNECTED:
Except in cases where the Customer has a contract with
the Company for reserve or auxiliary service, no other
source of electricity or power shall be used by the Cus-
tomer on the same installation in conjunction with the
Company's service, either by means of a throw -over switch
or any other connection.
LOADS IMPAIRING OTHER CUSTOMER'S SERVICE:
Certain types of equipment used by Customers have
electrical characteristics which may cause serious fluctua.
tions of voltage and interfere with the service of the Com-
pany to its other Customers. In such cases the Company
may decline to serve such equipment under the Company's
established rate schedule until the Customer having such
equipment, has provided at his expense, suitable apparatus
to hold to reasonable limits the effect of such fluctuations.
Some loads may require separate service, and in such
event, the Company may meter and bill such service
separately from other service supplied to the Customer.
upon by authorized represen-
pariVV the Customer prior to installa-
tion, all motor installations shall be as follows:
(a) All motors of 5 horsepower rating or less shall be
single- phase, unless three phase service is available at
the premises and can be furnished without additional cost
to the Company or is provided under the following section
entitled "Three Phase Extensions to Residential and Com-
mercial - Customers."
(b) All motors of more than 5 horsepower rating shall
be three - phase.
(c) All motors with a rated capacity of 7Y2 horsepower
or more shall be equipped for reduced voltage starting and
shall have low voltage release attachment, the details
of the controlling equipment to be approved by the Com-
pany before such motors are connected.
(d) 115 volt single phase motorized equipment designed
for general use shall be equipped with motors having
lockea -rotor currents at rated voltage not to exceed 40
amperes at 115 volts and shall have a rated capacity not
exceeding 1/2 horsepower. Where customers are served
from the Company's overhead distribution system, Com-
pany will, upon request, extend without charge a third
wire service drop for rendering 115/230 volt, 3 wire single
phase service.
GASEOUS TUBE LIGHTING DEVICES:
With the installation of neon lamps, mercury vapor
lamps, fluorescent lamps, and other gaseous tube lamps
or lighting devices having low power factor, the CUS-
TOMER shall provide, at his own expense, power factor
corrective equipment which will maintain the power
factor of each such device at not less than ninety per cent
(90 %). Corrective equipment will be installed in the cir-
cuit between the lighting devices and the switch control-
ling the devices, in such manner that the corrective egiup-
ment will operate only when lighting devices are operated.
THREE PHASE EXTENSION TO RESIDENTIAL
AND COMMERCIAL - CUSTOMERS:
Three phase service, where available, will be extended
to Residential and Commercial Customers on the following
basis:
1. The Company will install the transformer, overhead
service wires and meter without cost to the Customer.
2. Where three phase service is available within 300
feet of the Company's distribution pole to which the Cus-
tomer's service is connected, the extension will be made
without cost to the Customer, providing the Customer has
at least 5 horsepower connected in 3 phase motor load. If
the Customer's connected load is less than 5 horsepower in
3 phase motors the Customer will be required to pay the
cost of the extension up to $50.00, exclusive of transformer,
service wires and meters.
3. Where three phase service is over 300 feet from the
Company's distribution pole to which the Customer's ser-
vice is connected, a Customer having 5 horsepower or
more in 3 phase motor load must pay that portion of the
cost of the extension which is beyond 300 feet and a Cus-
tomer who has less than 5 horsepower connected in 3 phase
motor load must pay $50.00 plus that portion of the cost
of extension which is beyond 300 feet, exclusive of trans-
former, service wires and meters.
AGENTS CANNOT MODIFY:
No agent has authority to amend, modify, alter or
waive any of these Terms and Conditions.
