A franchisee may require refundable deposits in circumstances consistent with reasonable business practices, including where such deposits are necessary to protect equipment or to ensure payment where there is reasonable evidence of a risk of nonpayment. Upon termination of service for any reason, subscribers will be entitled to receive a refund of the deposits, subject to (i) an offset or credit for all outstanding obligations of the subscriber to the franchisee, including outstanding service charges, and (ii) return of all equipment provided by the franchisee in connection with the services received by the subscriber. (Ord. 205 § 3, 2001)
