Circuit Acceptance Level Clause Samples

The Circuit Acceptance Level clause defines the specific criteria or standards that a telecommunications circuit must meet before it is considered accepted by the customer or end user. Typically, this clause outlines the technical performance benchmarks, such as bandwidth, latency, or error rates, that the circuit must achieve during testing or commissioning. For example, the clause may require that a new data line demonstrate a minimum data transfer rate and error-free operation over a set period before the provider is deemed to have fulfilled its installation obligations. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the delivered circuit meets agreed-upon quality and performance standards, thereby protecting the customer from receiving subpar or non-functional service.
Circuit Acceptance Level. The System shall be designed such that any continuous five hundred (500) mile segment of the System during any consecutive twenty-four hour period shall have no more than one (1) Errored Second, shall have 99.998% Error Free Seconds and shall have no Severely Errored Seconds, measured at the DS-1 level.
