Reverse Billing Clause Samples

Reverse Billing. The parties acknowledge that Carrier has terminated its use of Ameritech’s Reverse Billing Service as it has no current need for such service. However, the Parties also acknowledge that their rights and remedies under the Act with regard to reverse billing remain unsettled by the appropriate legal authorities, and therefore neither Party waives any reverse billing right or remedy which may be available to it now or which may become available to it through changes in law subsequent to the effective date of this Agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to Section 16.3 herein, in the event of any change in law or arbitration award which entitles one or more carriers to reverse billing, Carrier may, by providing written notice to Ameritech, require that this Agreement be amended to provide for reverse billing. Accordingly, no provision for Reverse Billing is incorporated in this Agreement, and all new and existing NXX codes shall be subject to Standard Billing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Ameritech’s failure to meet the sixty (60) day interval for conversion of NXX codes as set forth in Section 3.2.2(d) shall in no event be grounds for Carrier to delay its conversion of Reverse Billing NXX codes to Standard Billing NXX codes by December 31, 1999, provided, however, that if Ameritech takes more than sixty (60) days from a completed request to convert Carrier’s NXX codes from Reverse Billing to Standard Billing and if as a result certain Carrier NXX codes are not converted as of December 31, 1999, those NXX codes can remain as Reverse Billing NXX codes until Ameritech is able to complete its conversion activities for those NXX codes.
