Grantee shall provide or enable the provision of at least the
following initial broad categories of programming to the extent such
categories are reasonably available:
Grantee shall not delete or so limit as to effectively delete
any broad category of programming within its control without the prior
written consent of the City.
Upon request by any subscriber, grantee shall provide by sale
or lease a parental control or lockout device, traps or filters to
enable a subscriber to prohibit viewing of a particular cable service
during periods selected by the subscriber. Grantee shall inform its
subscribers of the availability of the lockout device at the time
of their initial subscription and periodically thereafter. Any device
offered shall be at a rate, if any, in compliance with applicable
law.
(a)
The
grantee shall use reasonable efforts so as to ensure that all subscribers
receive continuous, uninterrupted cable service insofar as their financial
and other obligations to grantee are honored. For the purposes of
this subsection, “uninterrupted” does not include short-term
outages of the cable system for maintenance or testing.
(b)
In the
event of a change of grantee, or in the event another cable operator
acquires the cable system in accordance with this franchise and applicable
law, grantee shall reasonably cooperate with the City, new franchisee
or cable operator in maintaining continuity of cable service to all
subscribers. During any transition period, grantee shall be entitled
to the revenues for any period during which it operates the cable
system, and shall be entitled to reasonable costs for its services
when it no longer operates the cable system.
(c)
Subject
to the force majeure provision of this agreement, failure of grantee
to operate the cable system for four consecutive days without prior
approval of the City or its designee, or without just cause may be
considered a material violation of this agreement.
Grantee shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
and any amendments thereto.
