This includes the removal of underground storage tanks.
  6. Consumer’s Actions: The Consumer agrees to make no adjustments, connections, disconnections, or any alterations to the System, or any of its parts or components.

  7. Delivery Requirement Exceptions: The Company shall not be obligated to make deliveries to the Consumer when the supplies or facilities of production, manufacture, transportation, distribution or delivery contemplated by the Company are interrupted or unavailable by reason of any requirement or request of any governmental authority, wars, public disorder, acts of enemies, sabotage, strikes, lockouts, labor or employment difficulties, fires, acts of God, accidents or breakdowns, whether or not preventable, or any cause beyond the Company’s control.
  8. Liability: The Company is not responsible for loss of heat or any resulting damage arising from a freeze-up in an occupied/empty or unoccupied dwelling or home.
