A. Grantee shall not deny service, deny access, or otherwise discriminate against subscribers, channel users, or general citizens on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, gender or sexual preference. Nor shall grantee fail to extend service to any part of the Town within its licensed service area on the basis of the income of the residents. Grantee shall comply at all times with all other applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, relating to nondiscrimination.

B. Grantee shall adhere to the applicable equal employment opportunity requirements of Federal, State and local regulations.

C. Neither grantee, nor any person, agency, or entity shall, without the subscriber’s consent, tap or arrange for the tapping of any cable, line, signal input device, or subscriber outlet or receiver for any purpose except routine maintenance of the system, detection of unauthorized service, polling with audience participation, or audience viewing surveys to support advertising research regarding viewers where individual viewing behavior cannot be identified.

D. In the conduct of providing its services or in pursuit of any collateral commercial enterprise resulting therefrom, grantee shall take reasonable steps to prevent the invasion of a subscriber’s or general citizen’s right of privacy or other personal rights through the use of the system as such rights are delineated or defined by applicable law. Grantee shall not, without lawful court order or other applicable valid legal authority, utilize the system’s interactive two (2) way equipment or capability for unauthorized personal surveillance of any subscriber or general citizen.

E. No cable line, wire amplifier, converter, or other piece of equipment owned by grantee shall be installed by grantee in the subscriber’s premises, other than in appropriate easements, without first securing any required consent. If a subscriber requests service, permission to install upon subscriber’s property shall be presumed. Where a property owner or his predecessor has granted an easement including a public utility easement or a servitude to another and the servitude by its terms contemplates a use such as grantee’s intended use, grantee shall not be required to obtain the written permission of the owner for the installation of cable television equipment.
