The Reseller's Manual provides detailed information applicable in the states served by TDS Telecom. The information is generally applicable in all states, however, due to individual state requirements, including specific Public Service Commission rules and decisions, aspects of the handbook may not apply or may apply differently in an individual state. It is recommended that the RESELLER contact TDS Telecom Carrier Relations to confirm the applicability in a particular state, if a question arises. In addition, there may be times when a specific Resale Agreement conflicts with this handbook. In those instances the Resale Agreement will prevail.
