The interruptible billing demand shall be equal to the amount by which the monthly billing demand exceeds the minimum billing demand as specified in the contract.

F. Conditions of Service for Member Contract

1. The member will upon notification by the Cooperative, reduce his load being supplied by the Cooperative to the contract capacity level specified by the contract.
2. The Cooperative will endeavor to provide the member with as much advance notice as possible of the interruption of service. However, the member shall interrupt service within the notice period as contracted.
3. Service will be furnished under the Cooperative's "Rules and Regulations" except as set out herein and/or provisions agreed to by written contract.
4. No responsibility of any kind shall attach to the Cooperative for, or on account of, any loss or damage caused by, or resulting from, any interruption or curtailment of this service.

7. A Member's plant is considered as one or more buildings which are served by a single electrical distribution system, provided and operated by the Member.

8. The minimum original contract period shall be one year and thereafter until terminated by giving at least six months advance written notice. The Cooperative may require a contract be executed for a longer initial term when deemed necessary by the size of the load or other conditions.
