          “Cooperative will use reasonable diligence to maintain uninterrupted service, but does not guarantee a constant or regular supply of electrical energy and shall not be liable for damage due to variations or cessations in such supply.  Members should give immediate notice at the office of the Cooperative of any interruptions or irregularities in service or any known trouble, defect or accident to supply.  Cooperative may interrupt service to any member or members for the protection of life or property, for its system for the general good of the service or safety of the public, or when in Cooperative’s sole judgment such interruption will prevent or alleviate an emergency threatening the integrity of its system, or will aid in the restoration of service.  Circumstances permitting, Cooperative will give reasonable notice of any contemplated suspension.  Should service be interrupted for any of the above reasons, or should service fail by reason of any accident, strike, legal process, governmental interference, or any cause whatsoever beyond its control, the Cooperative shall not be liable for damages, direct or consequential, resulting therefrom.”

10.  Applicant, if accepted as a member of the Cooperative, hereby authorizes the Cooperative, upon termination of his membership in any manner to cancel said membership.
