Billing For Mutual Compensation Clause Samples
The "Billing For Mutual Compensation" clause establishes the procedures and terms under which both parties in an agreement may invoice each other for services rendered or expenses incurred. Typically, this clause outlines the timing, format, and documentation required for submitting bills, and may specify how disputes over billed amounts are to be handled.

The surrogate billing factor shall be deemed to be equal to the Shared Facility Factor, stated in Appendix-Pricing (Wireless). When using the surrogate billing method instead of recording actual usage, the amount Land-to-Mobile Section 251(b)(5) Calls Traffic Conversation MOUs shall be deemed to be equal to the product of (i) the WSP-to-AT&T-13STATE (mobile-to-land) Conversation MOU for Section 251(b)(5) Calls (based on AT&T-13STATE’s monthly bill to WSP) divided by the difference of one (1.0) minus the Shared Facility Factor, (times) (ii) the Shared Facility Factor.

Billing For Mutual Compensation. SBC-AMERITECH, NEVADA, PACIFIC, SNET
15.1 In SBC-AMERITECH, NEVADA, PACIFIC, and SNET, each Party will calculate terminating interconnection minutes of use based on standard Automatic Message Accounting (AMA) recordings made within each Party’s network. These recordings are the basis for each Party to generate bills to the other Party. For purposes of reciprocal compensation only, measurement of minutes of use over Local Interconnection Trunk Groups shall be in actual conversation seconds. The total conversation seconds over each individual Local Interconnection Trunk Group will be totaled for the entire monthly bill and then rounded to the next whole minute.
15.2 Each Party will provide to the other, within fifteen (15) calendar days, after the end of each quarter, a usage report with the following information regarding traffic terminated over the Local Interconnection Trunks:
15.2.1 Total traffic volume described in terms of minutes and messages and by call type (local, toll, and other) terminated to each other over the Local Interconnection Trunk Groups, and
15.2.1.1 Percent Local Usage (PLU) is calculated by dividing the Local MOU delivered to a party for termination by the total MOU delivered to a Party for termination.

The Parties agree to retain records of call detail for six (6) months from when the calls were initially reported to the other Party. The audit will be conducted during normal business hours at an office designated by the Party being audited. Audit requests shall not be submitted more frequently than once per calendar year for each call detail type unless a subsequent audit is required. Audits shall be performed by a mutually acceptable independent auditor paid for by the Party requesting the audit. Based upon the audit, previous compensation, billing and/or settlements will be adjusted for the past twelve (12) months. Also, if the PLU is adjusted based upon the audit results, the adjusted PLU will apply for the nine (9) month period following the completion of the audit. If, as a result of the audit, either Party has overstated the PLU or underreported the call detail usage by twenty percent (20%) or more, that Party shall reimburse the auditing Party for the cost of the audit and will pay for the cost of a subsequent audit which is ...
