SCOPE
A copy of the rates, rules and regulations under which CATV service will be supplied is
open to inspection by the general public at the office of CINCINNATI BELL. A hard copy of
CINCINNATI BELL’s rules and regulations and applicable rate schedule shall be furnished to
each Subscriber without charge, upon request.
INTERRUPTION OR DISCONTINUANCE OF SERVICE DUE TO USE OF NON-CINCINNATI
BELL FACILITIES
In order to provide service, CINCINNATI BELL shall occasionally make use of poles owned in
whole or in part by other utilities, both power and telephone, the continued use of which is
in no way guaranteed. In the event the continued use of such poles is denied for any reason,
Cincinnati Bell will make every reasonable effort to provide service over alternative routes
and facilities. The Subscriber agrees that he will make no claims or undertake any action
against any utility, including CINCINNATI BELL, if the service provided to the Subscriber is
interrupted or discontinued for this reason.
LOCATION OF OVERHEAD FACILITIES
Unusual circumstances to the contrary, CINCINNATI BELL’s overhead CATV service drop
to the Subscriber premises shall be located as closely to the point of electrical service
attachment as is safe and practicable.
OUTAGES & INTERRUPTIONS
CINCINNATI BELL will restore CATV service to its Subscribers within seventy-two (72) hours
after a Subscriber reports a service interruption or other problem when such problem is
found to be the fault of CINCINNATI BELL’s system and/or equipment, provided the cause is
not a natural disaster. If the service interruption is caused by CINCINNATI BELL and lasts for
more than four (4) hours in a given twenty-four (24) hour period, CINCINNATI BELL will give
the Subscriber a credit for each day that the Subscriber is without service.
In the event CINCINNATI BELL dispatches any of its personnel to investigate any Subscriber
complaint or outage, and the problem is determined to be caused by the Subscriber’s
television receiver or other Subscriber-owned facilities, the Subscriber may be charged the
cost of time and transportation, but in no event shall said charge be less than $14.95.
REPRODUCTION OF PROGRAMMING
The Subscriber shall not record or tape any of the programming provided by CINCINNATI
BELL, nor shall the Subscriber allow any other person to do so, except for the personal use
of the Subscriber. Subscriber agrees that the programs and other services provided by
CINCINNATI BELL will be utilized solely for Subscriber’s personal, non-commercial use and
will not be duplicated except in compliance with applicable law.
SEVERABLE PROVISIONS
In the event any portion of these rules and regulations should be declared invalid by any
court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions
hereof, which shall continue effective.
