Common use of Local Services Clause in Contracts

Local Services. 3.9.1 In addition to the Interconnection Service, the Parties agree that, due to the integration of certain control schemes, revenue metering applications, and communication networks, it is desirable to provide each other with the services set forth in Sections 3.10 and 3.11 ("Local Services") at no cost. The Parties shall use their best efforts to ensure that such Local Services are available at all times in the manner specified herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party, upon notice to the other, may change the Local Services it provides, provided that there is no cost to the receiving Party and the quality, reliability and integrity of the replacement Local Services are equivalent to the then existing services. If service could be interrupted as a result of the change, the Party proposing to make the change shall give ten working days prior written notice of the change to the other Party. Neither Party shall terminate its Local Services without the other Party's written consent or without at least twelve months' prior written notification; provided, however, if either Party no longer needs or desires a particular Local Service, such Party shall notify the other Party and the Party providing the Local Service shall terminate such service as soon thereafter as practicable. 3.9.2 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF SECTION 3.10 AND 3.11
