Common use of Stabilization Period Clause in Contracts

Stabilization Period. For each of these new measures/sub-measures that include XML results there will be a 3-month measurement stabilization period. During this period, no payment applies if the payment is determined to have been caused by the development to include XML into the PID results and not due to an actual performance miss. In order to determine the cause of payments during the stabilization period, if any payments are identified, the payment’s due date will be extended for 30 days to provide Qwest the opportunity to perform root cause analysis and make the results readily available to the impacted parties. Until performance reporting includes XML results, the prior measures/sub-measures included in the PAP will apply. Further, should either the IMA-GUI or IMA-XML interfaces be replaced in the future, results from the replacement interfaces will be automatically incorporated into these measures and be included in the PAP (with a stabilization period) coincident with CLEC migration to the new interfaces subject to changes to the impacted measures including but not limited to modification due to operational differences with the replacement interfaces.
