In particular, CONTRACTOR shall be given credit for Curbside Service Unit collections made by CONTRACTOR by having damages assessed, subject to the above said maximum, in approximately the same proportion to the compensation due CONTRACTOR for curbside service during the subject period as the number of Curbside Service Unit collections which CONTRACTOR failed to make bears to the total number of Curbside Service Unit collections which should have been made pursuant to this Agreement. (c) In addition to any other lawful means of effecting recovery of the damages assessed against CONTRACTOR the amount thereof may be deducted by CITY from money due or which may become due to the CONTRACTOR either in single sum or in installments. In the event CONTRACTOR objects to such assessment or set-off, it shall nevertheless maintain full performance under this Agreement, reserving all rights to subsequently litigate the propriety or amount of the damages assessed. (d) Refunds or reduction of payments of CONTRACTOR's Customers shall be the sole responsibility of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR covenants for the benefit of each such Customer to grant a reasonable and fair refund or reduction or compensatory service; provided, however, that the CONTRACTOR may condition such refunds or reductions or compensatory .service upon the Customer's filing of a claim for the same with the CONTRACTOR. To the extent Bin or Roll-Off Service collections are made at CITY'S expense in the absence of CONTRACTOR's performance, CONTRACTOR shall be liable to CITY for a proportionate amount of the Customers' paymepts due to the CONTRACTOR. 40.

However, CONTRACTOR may make available to Bin Service users special services as provided for in Section 28 hereof. CONTRACTOR may make a direct charge in each instance for such service under a written agreement which shall be subject to the approval of the Executive Director and at such rates as are reasonable, just and uniform for all persons requesting such additional services. All such charges shall be collected by CONTRACTOR.
