TEP is committed to providing safe, reliable electric service. We design, build, maintain and operate our facilities in accordance with industry standards and regulatory requirements designed to deliver a steady, stable supply of power to customers.

Such practices cannot guarantee perfect service. Every electric generation, transmission and distribution system in the world is subject to failure at any time. Malfunctioning equipment, inclement weather, property damage, interference from trees or wildlife and other forces beyond TEP's control can result in service interruptions, power surges or voltage irregularities.

Sometimes these incidents result in damage to our customers' property, including surge protectors, appliances and other electrical facilities. When such damage results from circumstances TEP could not have reasonably predicted or prevented, the company does not assume responsibility to pay for damages.

Under rules approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission, TEP is not liable for damage claims involving power outages, low voltage or power surges caused by: severe weather or other circumstances beyond our control; during repairs or routine maintenance, including meter exchanges; or during energy curtailment or blackout events.

Additionally, TEP is not liable for damage in circumstances that involve but are not limited to:

• Wind, rain, lightning, heat, flooding or other types of weather conditions
• Trees or other vegetation disturbing power lines and other equipment
• Equipment failure
• Equipment damaged by vehicles or criminal mischief
• Animal interference
• Mylar balloons
• Fires
• Other circumstances beyond our control, including "Acts of God"

Additional details are available in TEP's Rules and Regulations under Section 8, titled "Provision of Service."
