Terms of Contract

 

Below are the terms of contract you’ll be required to sign when you activate service with Palmetto Link.

I do hereby grant to PalmettoLink the right to enter upon my lands at the above address for the purpose(s) of installing, operating, and/or maintaining the fiber optic lines and network.

While PalmettoLink is responsible for having publicly owned underground utility lines (gas, electric, water, sewer, communications) located via SC811, I understand that I am responsible for identifying and marking any and all privately owned underground objects and/or utilities that could become damaged or cause damage to the equipment of PalmettoLink. Privately owned underground objects and utilities consist of, but are not limited to, septic tanks, drain f ields, drain lines, water lines, irrigation lines, landscape lighting wires, and power/electrical lines not owned by the electric utility. (Most electric utilities, including Palmetto Electric Cooperative, own, and are responsible for locating, the electric service to the electric meter of homes. This may not be the case for sheds, docks, shops, commercial locations, etc.)

If I do not know where all privately owned underground objects and/or utilities are located on my property, I may hire a private locator of my choice. Some options may be found at https://sc811.com/private-locators.

I assume full responsibility for any and all damages to privately owned underground objects and/or utilities that are either not correctly marked and identified, or for which the precise location has not been clearly communicated to PalmettoLink.

Equipment tracks and some ground disturbance will result from the use of equipment necessary for the installation of PalmettoLink facilities.

These provisions have been explained to me and I have received a copy of this document. If there are any questions, please call 843-208-5506.
