Each applicant for electric service will be required to complete the Cooperative's "Electric Service Agreement" for electric service or execute a special contract.
Whether or not a completed agreement for service is on record for the consumer and accepted by the Cooperative, the rendering of the service by the Cooperative at the request of the consumer shall be deemed a contract between the parties and subject to all provisions of the rate schedule or schedules applicable to the service and also subject to compliance of these rules and regulations.
Standard contracts shall be for terms as specified in the rate schedule, but where large or special investment is necessary for the supply or extension of supply of service, contracts for a longer term than specified in the rate schedule, with or without special guarantee of revenue, or other special conditions may be required by the Cooperative to safeguard such investment.
Large industrial, commercial or temporary service contracts may be written on a special form, and shall contain such provisions and stipulations as may be necessary or desirable to protect the interest of both Cooperative and consumer.
These rules and regulations are a part of every contract for service, unless specifically modified by a rate provision.
