Common use of Service Continuation Clause in Contracts

Service Continuation. (i) If, at the time of expiration of the Service Period, a new agreement or tariffed service arrangement with Verizon for the Services is not effective as defined above and Customer has not requested, in writing, disconnection of the Services, then the Services will be reverted to applicable tariff or other Commission-authorized rate(s) for the minimum service commitment period available. The applicable tariff or other Commission-authorized arrangement will govern the service arrangement prospectively, including rates, terms and conditions, which may include charges for termination prior to the end of the minimum tariff service commitment period. If there is no applicable tariff or other Commission-authorized service arrangement, then the Service will be subject to disconnection upon the expiration of the Service Period of this Agreement. If, upon expiration of the Service Period, there is a delay in reverting rates to the applicable tariff or other Commission-authorized rate(s), or in disconnecting the Services if no tariff or Commission-authorized service arrangement is available, the Service Period shall be deemed temporarily extended on a month-to-month basis until such reversion of rates or disconnection of Services is completed. In no event, however, will such temporary extension of the Service Period continue more than twelve months after the expiration of the initial Service Period. (ii) If Customer indicates to Verizon in writing that it desires to negotiate a new contract or tariffed service arrangement to continue or replace the Services provided for herein, the Service Period shall automatically be extended for a period not to exceed 60 days from the end of the initial Service Period to allow the parties to finalize a new agreement or to transition to a tariffed service arrangement. Written notice must be provided by Customer at least 30 days prior to the end of the initial Service Period. For purposes of this paragraph only, written notice may be by facsimile or electronic mail.
