of facilities in each area. A service date shall be established no later than
24 months after receipt of an acceptable data base which will be provided by

The definition of each geographic area, and the ongoing maintenance of such

further agrees to furnish to Southern Bell, :l.n a timely manner, any such

boundaries, street name changes, new street additions and annexations.
The County further understands that in order to properly route calls from

any liability whatsoever, whether suffered, made, instituted, or asserted by

death of any person or persons, or for any loss, damage or destruction of any
property, whether owned by the customer or others, or for any infringement or
invasion of the right of privacy of any person or persons, caused or claimed
to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by the installation, operation,
Iailure to operate, maintenance, removal, presence, condition, location or use
of 911 service features and the equipment associated therewith or by any
services which are or may be furnished by the Company in connection therewith,
including but not limited to the identification of the telephone number,
