Common use of Indirect Network Interconnection Clause in Contracts

Indirect Network Interconnection. When the Parties interconnect their networks indirectly, via a third LEC’s tandem, the Parties agree that until the Parties are technically able to record and distinguish such traffic, or such traffic exceeds 25,000 minutes of use (MOU) per month, each Party will xxxx its own end users and retain the invoiced amounts rather than submitting an invoice to the other Party. However, when the Parties are technically able to record and distinguish traffic, then compensation shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless an inter-LEC Settlement method exists which includes this type of traffic. Such a Settlement method may make compensation between the Parties unnecessary. The originating Party agrees to pay any transit charges that may be assessed by an intermediary LEC. The compensation arrangement for indirect interconnection shall be subject to renegotiations on the request of either Party if an intermediary LEC whose facilities or services are used in the performance of transport and termination in connection with this traffic changes the applicable rates, terms, or conditions of those intermediary services. Neither Party shall deliver 1) traffic destined to terminate at the other Party’s end office via another LEC’s end office; or 2) traffic destined to terminate at an end office subtending the other Party’s access tandem via another LEC’s access tandem.
