In the event any subscriber fails to pay a properly due monthly subscriber fee, or any other properly due fee or charge, the grantee may disconnect the delinquent subscriber's outlet. The grantee shall not disconnect a delinquent subscriber's service outlet until 45 days following the due date of the delinquent fee or charge and shall include ten days written notice to a subscriber of its intent to disconnect service. After disconnection and upon payment of the delinquent fee and of a reconnection fee, the grantee shall promptly reinstate a subscriber's cable service. The grantee shall not charge any fee for disconnecting service. The grantee may require the maintenance of a security deposit in cases where a subscriber has been disconnected for just cause within the preceding three years. The amount of the security deposit shall be equal to two months basic service charge, and will be payable in advance of services being restored. Any advance payment shall be considered a security deposit, and may be retained by grantee for a maximum of three years. The security deposit shall be refunded to the subscriber, without interest, after three years or when the subscriber's service is terminated.
