TERMS AND 'CONDITIONS
GOVERNING ELECTRIC SERVICE
Furnished By
CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
Issued March 1, 1957
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
L31 times. The Company will not make refunds due to the
dffferance, 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 houtation 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 m
additional aount of money sufficient
to make the total amount on deposit with Company equal
to the amount of hills for said two consecutive months, and
Customer agrees in such case to so deposit with Company
such additional amount of money.
CUSTOMER'S SERVICE ENTRANCE, METERING
AND TESTING OF METERS:
Customer shall provide a point of connection on his
premises or building (where there is an overhead distri-
bution system) sufficiently high above ground level that
the clearance required by the National Electrical Code
can be maintained as to the service extension.
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 entrance 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
he 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
cent (2 %). inaccurately and its error shall exceed two per
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
