Legal Disclosures: In the highly unlikely event CESCO is required to disclose customer information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, CESCO will make such disclosure. In the event the ownership of all or a part of a business within the CESCO were to change, customer information pertinent to that business's operations would likely be transferred to, or licensed for use by, the new owner.
