Number Resources Arrangements Clause Samples
The 'Number Resources Arrangements' clause defines how telephone numbers or other numbering resources are allocated, managed, and used between parties in a telecommunications agreement. It typically outlines the responsibilities for obtaining, maintaining, and transferring number resources, and may specify procedures for requesting new numbers or returning unused ones. This clause ensures that both parties have clear guidelines for handling numbering resources, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Number Resources Arrangements. 10.1.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed in any manner to limit or otherwise adversely impact either Party’s right to the request and assignment of any NANP number resources including, but not limited to, central office (NXX) codes pursuant to the Central Office Code Assignment Guidelines published by the Industry Numbering Committee ("INC") as INC ▇▇-▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇, formerly ICCF 93-0729-010). The latest version of the Guidelines will be considered the current standard.
10.1.2. Each Party shall be responsible for notifying its End Users of any changes in numbering or dialing arrangements to include changes such as the introduction of new NPAs or new NXX codes.
10.1.3. Paging Provider may request blocks of telephone numbers from Qwest. Such blocks of telephone numbers will be assigned to the Paging Provider from an NXX housed in the Qwest Dial Tone Office. This will usually be the Serving Wire Center of the Paging Provider’s paging terminal location. In the event sufficient numbers are not available to meet the Paging Provider’s two year forecast, a new NXX, if practicable, will be assigned to the Dial Tone Office from which numbers will be allocated. All numbers are assigned and administered by Qwest. The Paging Provider performs subadministration (assigning specific numbers to individual subscribers).
10.1.4. It shall be the responsibility of each Party to program and update its own network systems pursuant to the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG) to recognize and route traffic to the other Party’s assigned NXX codes. Neither Party shall impose any fees or charges whatsoever on the other Party for such activities. The Parties will cooperate to establish procedures to ensure the timely activation of NXX assignments in their respective networks.
10.1.5. Each Party is responsible for administering NXX codes assigned to it. Each Party is responsible for arranging LERG input for NXX codes assigned to its equipment. Each Party shall use the LERG published by Telcordia or its successor for obtaining routing information and shall provide through an authorized LERG input agent, all required information regarding its network for maintaining the LERG in a timely manner.
