Common use of Duration of Obligation Clause in Contracts

Duration of Obligation. The Parties agree that it is the responsibility of each third- party LEC or CMRS provider to enter into arrangements with other LECs or CMRS providers to deliver Local Traffic and IntraLATA Toll Traffic where CBT does not act as the PTC for the originating LEC. Notification of effective third party agreements must be provided to CBT. The parties acknowledge that such agreements and actual measuring capability may not be currently in place. In the interim, therefore, if the terminating party is unable to determine the originator of the transit traffic, the terminating party may request that CBT provide billing information to permit billing the third party (i.e., the call originator). To the extent CBT incurs additional cost in providing billing data, CBT will provide an estimate of those costs. If the receiving party accepts the estimate and agrees to reimburse CBT, the billing data will be provided.
