OPINION

BAKER, Judge.

In this case of first impression, we are asked to decide whether a public utility may limit its liability for omitting a customer’s name from a directory and White Pages through a tariff1 on file with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). Specifically, appellant-plaintiff Robert Prior challenges the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of appellee-defendant, GTE North Incorporated (GTE), after the court upheld GTE’s tariff to limit Prior’s remedy to the monthly charge for telephone service.
