Inside Wire Maintenance Agreement (IWMA)

 

Riviera Telephone Company, Inc. (RTC) shall, upon the customer’s acceptance, provide maintenance and repair on the customer’s inside wiring (IW) and connector block at the monthly charge as indicated in this agreement.  

 

DEFINITIONS

IW –       the wire on the customer’s premise that extends from the protector to the connector block   or demarcation point

Protector -  the point where the cable from underground connects to the IW

Connector Block – commonly known as a “jack”, connects the IW to the telephone set

Demarcation Point –               a block where the IWs terminate at business locations or large residential locations where many long run IWs are home run

Detached Extension – an extension located outside of the primary customer premise

Leased Telephone Set – a telephone set that the customer is leasing from RTC

Complex Wiring –                  wiring that is, by its nature, more complex than normal business system and key system wiring, looped wiring, wiring in large structures that entail long runs of IW to wire

 

SERVICES

This IWMA shall include all labor and materials necessary to maintain or repair the IW and/or connector block using RTC installation practices and technical standards.  Only one IWMA and monthly charge shall apply to a customer’s premise, regardless of the number of connector blocks or telephone sets on the customer’s primary premise, except for a detached extension.  A detached extension will require another IWMA and an additional monthly charge.  RTC will provide service to the telephone set ONLY if the telephone set is an RTC leased telephone set.

 

TERM

The customer must agree to keep the IWMA for at least one (1) year, provided the customer has service at the named location for that period of time. The customer may terminate the agreement at any time after the original one year term.  If the IWMA is not terminated it shall renew automatically on a monthly basis.  Should the customer discontinue service at the location, this IWMA shall terminate automatically.  The customer may initiate a new IWMA at a new location if the new location’s IW meets RTC installation practices and technical standards.  The customer shall have the right to terminate this IWMA within sixty (60) days after being notified of an increase in the charges of the IWMA, regardless of the original term of the IWMA.
