(5) No attendant will be on duty and present on the premises at all times when it is open for business and has customers using the machines or devices;
(6) The applicant refuses to abide by each and every term of this chapter; or

(B) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the town reserves the right to place a limit on the number of amusement device which may be placed pursuant to a license application if the number of amusement devices within the town becomes unmanageable, unreasonable, or detrimental to the public welfare.
