delivery of any Service, such as

• fire

• meteorological phenomena
  
• earthquakes
  
• volcanic action
  
• power failures or blackouts
  
• severe weather
  
• explosions
  
• wars or armed conflicts
  
• national, state or local emergencies
  
• civil disobedience
  
• shortage of labor or materials
  
• labor disputes, strikes, or other
  concerted acts of workers (whether of AT&T or others)
  
• embargoes
  
• acts of God
  
• and acts of terrorism.
  

“You” means the person subscribing to the Services provided under this
Agreement.
