A. Applicants for Utility Services must sign a contract document that, if it does not spell out in full all of the laws, rules, regulations, policies and obligations that apply to Customers, it shall be deemed to incorporate same by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the absence of a signature to a contract and/or the acceptance and/or receipt of Utility Services shall still constitute a knowing and voluntary agreement by the recipient to be bound by all applicable laws, rules and regulations contained herein, in the ORC, TMC, or elsewhere, as may currently exist or as may be changed from time to time, including, without limitation, the cost of Utility Services. For the entire duration of accepting and/or receiving Utility Services, the applicant represents and warrants to the City and Department that the applicant is the lawful Owner of the Premises to receive Utility Services.
B. The Department reserves the right to require existing Customers to sign or re-sign a contract for Services in the event the original contract cannot be located or as required by the Department.
C. Master Contract. At one time the Department handled some landlord-tenant accounts under a so-called Master Contract. This practice is no longer offered for new accounts. Existing Master Contracts may continue until the Department so notifies the Customer.
