Bills shall be rendered and due monthly. If paid within 15 days from the due date thereof as stated in the bill, the net bill shall be the amount to be paid. If not paid within 15 days from the due date thereof as stated in the bill, the customer shall be considered delinquent in payment, and the gross bill, which includes the collection charge, shall be the amount to be paid. The company may at any time subsequent to the due date and prior to the payment of the gross bill, and after serving notice of cut-off of service, discontinue a customer's service. Failure to receive a bill shall not entitle the customer to pay only the net bill if he fails to make the payment within said 15 day period, nor shall it affect the right of the company to cut off and discontinue service for non-payment.
