The following words and terms, when used in this subchapter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
"Agent" means any person, as defined at N.J.A.C. 14:3-1.1, including, but not limited to, employees, servants or marketers, acting on behalf of a TSP in order to bring about, modify, affect performance of, or terminate mutual obligations between a TSP and the customer.
"Authorized TSP" means a TSP that a customer has chosen as its provider of a telecommunications service, through an authorization that has been verified in accordance with this subchapter.
"Customer" means a person that meets any one or more of the following criteria:
1. The party identified in the account records of the TSP as responsible for payment of the telephone bill;
2. Any adult person (over the age of 18) authorized by such party to change telecommunications services or to charge services to the account; or
3. Any adult person contractually or otherwise lawfully authorized to represent such party.
"Executing TSP" means any TSP that receives a change order that complies with this subchapter and carries out a request that a customer's TSP be switched.

"Submitting TSP" means any TSP that:
1. Submits a change order on behalf of a retail or wholesale customer, in order to request a switch in the customer's primary TSP; and
2. Seeks to provide retail telecommunications services to the customer.
