TARIFF FORMAT
A. SHEET NUMBERING - SHEET NUMBERS APPEAR IN THE UPPER-RIGHT CORNER OF THE PAGE. SHEETS ARE NUMBERED SEQUENTIALLY. HOWEVER, NEW SHEETS ARE OCCASIONALLY ADDED TO THE TARIFF. WHEN A NEW SHEET IS ADDED BETWEEN SHEETS ALREADY IN EFFECT, A DECIMAL IS ADDED. FOR EXAMPLE, A NEW SHEET ADDED BETWEEN SHEETS 14 AND 15 WOULD BE 14.1.
B. Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper-right corner of the page. These numbers are used to determine the most current sheet version on file with the Commission. For example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd revised Sheet 14. Because of various suspension periods, deferrals, etc. the Commission follows in their Tariff approval process, the most current sheet number on file with the Commission is not always the Tariff page in effect. Consult the Check Sheet for the sheet currently in effect.
C. Check Sheets - When a Tariff filing is made with the Commission, an updated check sheet accompanies the Tariff filing. The check sheet lists the sheets contained in the Tariff, with a cross reference to the current revision number. When new sheets are added, the check sheet is changed to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filing are designated by an asterisk (*). There will be no other symbols used on this sheet if these are the only changes made to it (i.e., the format, etc. remains the same, just revised revision levels on some sheets). The Tariff user should refer to the latest check sheet to find out if a particular sheet is the most current sheet on file with the Commission.

2 When service is interrupted for a period of at least 24 hours due to storms, fires, floods or other conditions beyond the control of Carrier, an allowance equal to one-thirtieth of the tariff monthly rate for all services and facilities furnished by Carrier rendered inoperative or substantially impaired shall apply for each full 24 hours during which the interruption continues after notice by Customer to Carrier.
2 Section 2 – Rules and Regulations (continued)
2.8 RESPONSBILITY OF CARRIER (CONTINUED)
3 Cancellation of Credit
Where Carrier cancels a service and the final service period is less than the monthly billing period, a credit will be issued for any amounts billed in advance, prorated at 1/30th of the monthly recurring charge for each day after the service was discontinued. This credit will be issued to Customer or applied against the balance remaining on Customer’s account.
4 Disconnection of Service by Carrier
1 Carrier shall provide at least 7 days’ written notice to the Customer prior to suspension of service, except when suspension is based on an occurrence which endangers the safety or a person or appears likely to prove physically harmful to the service delivery system of the Carrier. A termination notice will be issued immediately after a Customer’s service has been suspended. Carrier may terminate service when at least 10 days have passed since suspension of service.
2 Pursuant to Commission regulations, 52 Pa. Code §§ 64.61-64.81, 64.101-11, 64.121-123, and 64.133 Carrier may discontinue or cancel service without incurring any liability for any of the following reasons:

3 Upon violation of any provisions in this Tariff or any other material terms or conditions for furnishing service where such violation threatens the safety of a person or the integrity of the service delivery system of Carrier and/or the ILEC;
4 Upon violation of any law, rule, or regulation of any government authority having jurisdiction over the service;
5 In the event Carrier is prohibited from furnishing services by order of a court or other government authority having jurisdiction;
6 In the event of fraudulent use of Carrier’s network, Carrier will discontinue service and/or seek legal recourse to recover all costs involved in enforcement of this provision; or
7 In the event Customer’s use of service interferes with or impairs the use of service rendered to other customers.
5 Section 2 – Rules and Regulations (continued)
2.8 RESPONSBILITY OF CARRIER (CONTINUED)
6 Restoration of Service
Service shall be restored in accordance with Commission regulations, 52 Pa. Code § 64.181-.182.
7 Fractional Charges
Charges for a fractional part of a month are calculated by counting the number of days remaining in the billing period after service is furnished. Divide that number of days by 30 days (billing period). The result is then multiplied by the applicable monthly service charge to arrive at the appropriate fractional monthly service charge.
9 RESTORATION OF SERVICE IN EMERGENCIES
The use and restoration of service in emergencies shall be in accordance with the priority system specified in Part 64, Subpart D of the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.
10 START OF BILLING
For billing purposes, the start of service is the day following acceptance by Customer of Carrier’s service or equipment. The end of service date is the last day of the minimum notification of cancellation or any portion of the last day, after receipt by Carrier of notification of cancellation as described in Section 2.6.4 of this Tariff.
11 INTERCONNECTION
1 Service furnished by Carrier may be interconnected with services or facilities of other authorized communications common carriers and with private systems, subject to the technical limitation established by Carrier. Service furnished by Carrier is not part of a joint undertaking with such other carriers. Any special interface equipment or facilities necessary to achieve compatibility between the facilities of Carrier and other participating carriers shall be provided at Customer’s expense.
2 Interconnection with the facilities or services of other carriers shall be under the applicable terms and conditions of the other carriers’ tariffs. Customer is responsible for taking all necessary legal steps for interconnecting its Customer-provided terminal equipment or communications systems with the other carriers’ facilities. Customers shall secure all licenses, permits, rights-of-way, and other arrangements necessary for such interconnections.
12 Section 2 – Rules and Regulations (continued)
13 DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
1 A Customer dispute brought before the Carrier will be handled in accordance with the Commission’s regulations set forth at 52 Pa. Code §§ 64-131-64.142.
2 If a dispute between a Customer and the Carrier cannot be resolved through the procedures set forth therein, the Customer may file an Informal Complaint with the Commission in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Commission’s regulations at 52 Pa. Code §§ 64.151-64.154.
