CONDITIONS ON WHICH DEFERRED FOREIGN TELEGRAMS ARE ACCEPTED. 1. Neither the Director-General nor any Telegraph Company or Foreign Government by whom the telegram is or would, in the ordinary course of the telegraphic service, be forwarded, shall be liable to make compensation for any loss, injury or damage arising or resulting from non-transmission, or non-delivery of the telegram, or delay, or error, or omission in the transmission or delivery thereof, through whatever cause such non-transmission, non-delivery, delay, error or omission shall have occurred. 2. The rate is half that charged for ordinary Foreign telegrams. 3. Deferred Foreign telegrams are only transmitted after Foreign and Inland Private and Press telegrams. Those which have not reached their destination within a period of 24 hours from the time of handing in are transmitted in turn with telegrams charged for at the full rate. 4. The text of Deferred Foreign telegrams must be entirely in plain language and must not contain any figures, commercial marks, groups of letters or signs of punctuation or abbreviated expressions. Numbers must be written in words. Registered addresses are accepted if accompanied by a text which makes their nature clear. Telegrams without text are not admitted. 5. Deferred Foreign telegrams must be written in French or in one of the languages of the country of origin or of destination which have been declared by the Administrations concerned to be admissible as plain language in international telegrams. In India, the languages authorized are English, French and Portuguese. According as the language employed is, (1) French, (2) a language of the country of origin, or (3) a language of the country of destination, the supplementary instruction, F., O., or D., as the case may be, should be employed. This instruction is counted in the number of words charged for. 6. The use of two or more languages in the same telegram is not allowed. 7. The wording of the address and signature of telegrams is governed by the rules in force for ordinary Foreign telegrams. 8. The sender must sign at the time of handing in a declaration to the effect that the text of the telegram is entirely in plain language and that it does not bear any meaning other than that which appears on the face of it, and must state the language used. 9. The Telegraph Administrations reserve the right to refuse at the reduced rate any telegram which, in their opinion, is not in accordance with the foregoing conditions. 10. If the sender of a Deferred Foreign telegram wishes to prepay a reply of a certain number of words at the Deferred rate, the number to be announced in the telegram must invariably be that at the full rate, e.g., if he wishes to prepay a reply of 6 words at the Deferred rate the indication in the telegram must be "R. P. 3" and the addressee will be able to send a reply of either three words by the full rate service or six words by the half rate service. The indication "R. P. 3" will, however, be charged as one word at the half rate (see Telegraph Guide, Rule 369). It will not be possible for an odd number of words, such as, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc., to be prepaid at the Deferred rate, as the half of these numbers will bring in the fraction of ½ which cannot be notified in the Service Instructions. Replies at the Deferred rate can only be prepaid on an even number of words, such as 6, 8, 10, 12, etc. NOTICE. Complaints respecting this telegram and applications for refund containing complaints as well should be addressed to the Director General of Posts and Telegraphs, Traffic Branch, Calcutta, within five months of the date of the telegram. Applications for refund which do not contain complaints as well should be addressed to the Deputy Accountant General, Telegraph Check Office, Calcutta. Lal Chand & Sons—3160—27-9-19—3,00,000 (Edn.
