Some subscribers request their telephone numbers be omitted from the directory and the Company's information records. Such requests, when presented in writing, may be fulfilled through the assignment of a non-published telephone number subject to the regulations outlined below. Such requests are discouraged as far as possible and the subscriber is required to sign a written statement releasing the Company from all responsibility for losses arising from such an arrangement.

Incoming calls to non-published telephone numbers will be completed by the Company only when the calling party places the call by number. The Company will adhere to this practice notwithstanding any claim of emergency the calling party may present. The acceptance by the Company of the subscriber's request to furnish non-published number service does not create any relationship or obligation, direct or indirect, to any person other than the subscriber.
