(a) A grantee shall, at all times, comply with all laws and regulations of the State and Federal governments or any administrative agency. However, if any such State or Federal law or regulation shall require or permit a grantee to perform any service or prohibit a grantee from performing any service, in conflict with the terms of the franchise or of any law or regulation, then, as soon as possible, a grantee shall notify the City of the point of conflict believed to exist between such regulation or law and the laws or regulations of the franchise.
(b) If any provision of the franchise is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid as conflicting with any Federal or State law, rule or regulation now or hereafter in effect, or is held by such court to be modified in any way in order to conform to the requirements of any law, rule or regulation, said provision may be considered a separate, distinct and independent part of the franchise, and such holding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of all other provisions. In the event that such law, rule or regulation is subsequently repealed, rescinded, amended or otherwise changed, so that the provision which had been held invalid or modified is no longer in conflict with the law, rule or regulation, said provision shall return to full force and effect and shall be binding on the parties.
(c) Upon execution of a franchise by a grantee, the grantee agrees to be bound by all of its terms and conditions and accepts unconditionally the franchise and promises to comply with and abide by all of its terms, provisions and conditions. The grantee also agrees to provide all services set forth in its franchise to provide cable television services within the confines of the City. In addition, the grantee specifically agrees that this chapter is incorporated by reference and made a part of the franchise. In the event of a conflict between any of the provisions of this chapter and the franchise, the franchise shall prevail.
