In the conduct of the business franchised in this Part, neither the franchisee, nor its officers, employees, or agents shall sell, repair or install, or recommend the sale, repair or installation of radio or of television receivers; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the franchisee, at the customer's request and without payment, from examining and adjusting a customer's receiver set to determine whether reception difficulties originate in said set or in franchisee's system. The franchise granted pursuant hereto authorizes only the operation of a system as provided for herein, and does not take the place of any other franchise, license or permit which might be required by law of the franchisee.
[Ord. 1375, 2/14/1977, § 18]
