Conditions

i.For the purpose of the Scheme, a delayed repair will become eligible for a reduction only if the reported fault causes `total loss of service' (i.e. no transmission of signals in one or both directions) for the duration of the qualifying period and occurs on the circuit or associated network equipment between the Network Terminating Points.

ii.An eligible failure means:

For circuits enjoying TotalCare (all Circuit types in the above list), a failure that continues for more than 5 clock hours after it has been reported to BT by the customer.

- a period of one hour occurring Monday to Saturday, 0800hrs to 1700hrs, excluding Public and Bank Holidays (as apply locally).

iii.Any reductions due as a result of the Scheme will only apply to the circuit rental and not to any associated equipment or maintenance charges.

iv.Customers with circuits enjoying TotalCare, will receive a percentage reduction, up to a maximum of 35%, of the annual rental for the period covered by the 12 Month Cycle. The percentage reduction of annual rental is calculated by reference to the rental due for the period covered by the 12 Month Cycle.

v.In all cases, the calculated reductions will be deducted from the amount due for the circuit rental for the following year unless the circuit is terminated in which case a specific payment will be made.

vi.The Scheme does not apply to any failure of a circuit arising from any suspension of the circuit for breach of the contract by the customer or in a case of the paragraphs referring to `BT's general powers' or `Matters beyond BT's reasonable control' contained in BT's Conditions for Private Service.

vii.The Scheme does not apply to inland tails of Offshore and International circuits and circuits to Kingston Upon Hull.

viii. For SHDS Connect Aggregate, if the main 1Gb Aggregation link becomes unavailable then the rebate shall apply for this and all related spoke links.
