Customer will not be entitled to a credit for any circuit overload or breaker trip due to Customer pulling in excess of 80% of the amps of a power circuit. Service Outage Credits will not be credited or payable for any period of time during which Company personnel or contractors are denied access to Customer Locations to remedy a Service Outage.
