Common use of Service Ordering Clause in Contracts

Service Ordering. SPRINT initiates orders to establish, add, change or disconnect trunk-side interconnection services by sending an ASR to VERIZON. SPRINT should submit ASRs to VERIZON through on-line applications or electronic files. SPRINT will order services for INP and LNP by sending a LSR to VERIZON. SPRINT should submit LSRs to VERIZON through an electronic interface or via facsimile (fax). The ordering process is described in the GTE Guide. The ASR and/or LSR will be reviewed by VERIZON for validation and correction of errors. Errors will be referred back to SPRINT. SPRINT then will correct any errors that VERIZON has identified and resubmit the request to VERIZON electronically through a supplemental ASR/LSR. In instances where VERIZON initiates a service order to Sprint for interconnection facilities or trunks, until such time as VERIZON is capable of initiating such orders electronically, VERIZON will complete the necessary fields on the ASR and transmit the order to Sprint via FAX. The ASR will be reviewed by Sprint, and any errors will be referred back to VERIZON.
