The BT Accumulate discount will be:

(b) applied to the standard charges for the line rental for the Customers Eligible Lines and

(c) provided as an aggregated credit in arrears on a quarterly basis to the bill account nominated by the Customer.

The first quarterly bill raised after expiry of the first 3 months of the Minimum Period will include the Single Quarterly Credit for the first 3 month period of the Minimum Period. Thereafter the credit will be applied to subsequent quarterly bills.

For customers receiving monthly bills, the Single Quarterly Credit will be applied on a quarterly basis only.

If the nominated billing account is ceased then BT will apply the Credit to another billing account associated with the Customer. If the Customer has no other accounts with BT, the Customer will not be entitled to any outstanding Credit.

Customers may not change from one BT Accumulate discount option to another during the Minimum Period or any Subsequent Minimum Period.

RECONCILIATION CHARGES AND RULES

A reconciliation charge as detailed below will apply in the following circumstances:

1. Customer Does Not Achieve the Adjusted Committed Spend

On the Spend Measurement Date, BT will measure the Customer's Total Contributory Spend against the Adjusted Committed Spend. If the Total Contributory Spend is less than the Adjusted Committed Spend, the Customer will pay a reconciliation charge.

The reconciliation charge will be invoiced after the spend measurement date of the Contract against the Customer's nominated account.

2. Termination before the End of the Minimum Period

Where the Customer terminates the Contract before the end of the Minimum Period and before reaching the Adjusted Committed Spend due over the Minimum Period, the Customer will pay a reconciliation charge.

This payment will be invoiced after cessation of the Contract against the Customer's nominated account.

Reconciliation Rules

The reconciliation charge will be 20% of the difference between the Adjusted Committed Spend due over the Minimum Period and the Total Contributory Spend.

All reconciliation charges which are below £10.00 will be waived off by BT.

MIGRATION RULES

Customers may, during a Minimum Period, apply for a move to:

(a) an equal or higher Committed Spend and provided that the Customer has achieved the pro-rata Adjusted Committed Spend, no reconciliation charge will apply; or

(b) a lower Committed Spend, however the reconciliation rules above will apply and a reconciliation charge may be payable.

In both (a) and (b) above the Minimum Period will be superseded by a new Minimum Period as follows:

Spend under the superseded Minimum Period will not count towards the Committed Spend for the new Minimum Period.

(c) another BT package without incurring reconciliation charges provided that the Customer has achieved the pro-rata Adjusted Committed Spend under the BT Accumulate Contract and the contract for the new package has:

(i) an equivalent or greater initial Minimum Period (24 months); and

(ii) the same or greater Committed Spend; and
