(A) An application in the form of TCED's service request or a contract, and a service deposit as provided for in § 51.19, may be required by TCED before service will be provided.
(B) TCED shall have the right to reject any application for service made by or for the benefit of a former customer who is indebted to TCED for the same class of service previously supplied at any premises in TCED's service area, or for any other valid or legal reason.
(C) Certain rate schedules specify a term of contract. In the absence of the requirement in any rate schedule, TCED may require a term of contract commensurate with the size of the customer's load which TCED is obligated to serve and/or TCED's cost of making service available to the customer.
(D) Subject to § 51.16(B) and (D), no agent or employee of TCED has the authority to amend, modify, alter or waive any part of the tariff.
(E) In written contracts, no promises, agreements or representations of an agent or an employee of TCED shall be binding unless the promises, agreements or representations were incorporated in the contract before its execution and approval.
(F) The benefits and obligations under any service request or contract shall inure to and be binding upon the successors and assigns, survivors and executors or administrators, as the case may be, of the original parties thereto; provided, however, that no assignment shall be made by the customer without first obtaining TCED's written consent. TCED may require the successor either to execute with TCED an assignment agreement wherein the successor customer assumes and agrees to be bound by the original contract, or to execute a new contract for service.
(G) All deposits, contracts, performance or payment security, credit arrangements and the like are location-specific and may not be transferred or applied to service at another location.
