INVENTORY

The Customer is responsible for identifying the Lines and any Other Services which are to be included within the Inventory.

Where the Customer requires the Additional Lines to be subject to different Service Care Levels or BT Business Flex charges, the Customer must terminate the BT Business Flex contract (in which case a reconciliation charge may be payable subject to the migration rules set out below) and sign a new BT Business Flex contract.

Removing Lines and Other Services from the Inventory - where Lines and/or Other Services are removed from the Inventory the charges applicable to BT Business Flex will no longer apply to those Lines and/or Other Services and they will be charged in accordance with the Standard Contract.

CONTRIBUTORY SPEND

  • Rental spend on the Lines included in the Inventory

  • Spend on Calls initiated on Lines in the Inventory - Please note that spend on Calls initiated on Other Services are not Contributory Spend.

  • The spend on Critical Care or Total Care on Lines in the Inventory where these apply.

Termination of a Standard Contract Line and/or any Other Service will not terminate the BT Business Flex contract provided that at least one Line remains in the Inventory. Where termination of a Line means that there are no Lines in the Inventory, the BT Business Flex contract will terminate and reconciliation charges may apply (as detailed above under Reconciliation and below under Termination Before The End of the Minimum Period) in addition to any termination charges due under the Standard Contract for the Line and/or Other Services.

BT will apply a reconciliation charge unless:

  • Termination within the first 12 months of the Minimum Period - where on the Spend Measurement Date the Customer's Contributory Spend is less than 80% of the Committed Spend due over the Minimum Period, a charge equal to 20% of the difference between the Customer's Contributory Spend and 80% of the Committed Spend due over the Minimum Period will be applied.

  • Termination within the second 12 months of the Minimum Period - where on the Spend Measurement Date the Customer's Contributory Spend for the second 12 months of the Minimum Period is less than 80% of the Committed Spend applicable to the second 12 months of the Minimum Period, a charge equal to 20% of the difference between the Customer's Contributory Spend for the second 12 months of the Minimum Period and 80% of the Committed Spend applicable to the second 12 months of the Minimum Period will be applied.
