DAY LET! ED
ALL DAY LETTERS TAKEN BY THIS COMPANY SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS WHICH ARE HEREBY AGREED TO
The Western Union Telegraph Company will receive DAY LETTERS, to be transmitted at rates lower than its standard day message rates, as follows: one and one-half times the standard night letter rate shall be charged for tho transmission of fifty (50) words or less, and one-fifth of the initial rate for such fifty words shall be charged for each additional ten (10) words or less.
To guard against mistakes or delays, the sender of a message should order it REPEATED, that is, telegraphed back to the originating office for comparison. For this, one-half the unrepeated message rate is charged in addition. Unless otherwise indicated on its face, THIS IS AN UNREPEATED MESSAGE AND PAID FOR AS SUCH, in consideration whereof it is agreed between the sender of the message and this Company as follows:
1.	The Company shall not be liable for mistakes or delays in the transmission or delivery, or for non-delivery, of any UNREPEATED message, beyond the amount received for sending the same; nor for mistakes or delays in the transmission or delivery, or for non-delivery of any REPEATED message, beyond fifty times the sum received for sending the same, unless specially valued; nor in any case for delays arising from unavoidable interruption in the working of its lines; nor for errors in obscure messages.
2.	In any event the Company shall not be liable for damages for any mistakes or delay in the transmission or delivery, or for the non-delivery of this message, whether caused by the negligence of its servants or otherwise, beyond the sum of FIFTY DOLLARS, at which amount this message is hereby valued, unless a greater value is stated in writing hereon at the time the message is offered to the Company for transmission, and an additional sum paid or agreed to be paid based on such value equal to one-tenth of one per cent, thereof.
3.	The Company is hereby made the agent of the sender, without liability, to forward this message over tho lines of any other Company when necessary to reach its destination.
4.	Messages will be delivered free within one-half mile of the Company’s office in towns of 5,000 population or less, and within one mile of such office in other cities or towns. Beyond these limits the Company docs not undertake to make delivery, but will, without liability, at the sender’s request, as his agent and at his expense, endeavor to contract for him for such delivery at a reasonable price.
5.	No responsibility attaches to this Company concerning messages until the same are accepted at one of its transmitting offices, and if a message is sent to such office by one of the Company’s messengers, he acts for that purpose as the agent of the sender.
6.	The Company will not be liable for damages or statutory penalties in any case where the claim is not presented in writing within sixty days after the message is filed with the Company for transmission.
In further consideration of the reduced rate for this special “DAY LETTER” service, the following special terms are hereby agreed to:
A.	DAY LETTERS may be forwarded by the Telegraph Company as a deferred service and the transmission and delivery of such DAY LETTERS is, in all respects, subordinate to the priority of transmission and delivery of regular day messages.
B.	DAY LETTERS shall bo written in plain English. Code language is not permitted.
C.	This DAY LETTER may be delivered by the Telegraph Company by telephoning the same to the addressee, and such delivery shall be a complete discharge of the obligation of the Telegraph Company to deliver.
D.	This DAY LETTER is received subject to the express understanding and agreement that the Company does not undertake that a DAY LETTER shall be delivered on the day of its date absolutely and at all events; but that the Company’s obligation in this respect is subject to the condition that there shall remain sufficient time for the transmission and delivery of such a message on the day of its date during regular office hours, subject to the priority of the transmission of regular day messages under the conditions named above.
No employee of the Company is authorized to vary the foregoing.
