I/we understand that this Agreement may be terminated after the initial period upon written notification to City.
2. If the container is lost, stolen or damaged, I/we agree to reimburse City the sum of $65.00 to replace the container, all without any regard to fault or liability for the loss, theft or damage. In other words, I/we agree to be strictly liable for the replacement cost of the container in the event of loss, theft or damage.

The container will be within two (2) feet of the curb and at least one (1) foot from obstructions such as lampposts, mailboxes and fences.

7. I/We agree to pay for all utility services (power, water, sewer or waste collection or any combination thereof) in accordance with the rules and regulations and the applicable rates for such service now in effect or as the same shall lawfully be amended or changed from time to time.
8. I/We agrees to permit City, its agents and employees, to enter the premises at all reasonable times for the purposes necessary and incident to rendering of utility services.
