GENERAL RULES & REGULATIONS FOR SALE OR LEASE OF PROPERTY SITUATIONS Where the subscriber sells or leases property in which a telephone is located, he shall continue to be responsible for all charges for services over such telephone unless and until he notifies the Telephone Company of such sale and notifies the Telephone Company that he is no longer responsible for service provided by the Company for such telephone. GENERAL RULES & REGULATIONS FOR DECEASED SUBSCRIBER SITUATIONS In the event of the death of the subscriber, unless the Telephone Company is notified of such death and notified to discontinue service as of a given date, the person occupying the premises where such telephone is located shall be responsible for all telephone charges for use of the said telephone. GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS OF JOINT USER BUSINESS SERVICE 1) Joint user service is an arrangement whereby an individual, firm or corporation, whose telephone needs are not such as to justify the provision of separate subscriber service, is permitted to use the service of the subscriber. Upon written application by the subscriber, the Telephone Company will extend service to joint users, except that not more than three joint users will be permitted for each main line of each trunk of a commercial P.B.X. system. Joint user service is not furnished in situations where a subscriber is engaged in the business of renting office space on a transient or permanent basis, or for other reasons desires to furnish telephone service to his clients. 2) To facilitate the use of joint user service, a directory listing is included as a part of the classification, and additional listings may be furnished to joint users under the same conditions as to regular subscribers. Listings for joint user service must bear the same address and telephone number as the listing of the main stations. 3) Joint users are permitted only in connection with business individual line and P.B.X. service. The joint users must be located in the same office or suite of offices as the subscriber. 4) Extension stations may be furnished for the use of joint users at the regular extension stations rate. 5) Joint user service shall be furnished only at the request of the subscriber to the main station, who shall make an application therefore and shall be responsible for the payment of all charges incurred there under. 6) Charges for joint user service date from the day the contract is executed, and are payable monthly in advance. The minimum charge for joint user service is for the directory period, except that the service may be cancelled before the listings close for the next issue of the directory. Contracts for joint user service may be terminated at the end of the directory issue, or at any time upon payment of all charges for service for the minimum contractual period. 7) All charges for joint user service will be billed to the subscriber of record of the main line of P.B.X. trunk.
