If BT is able to provide the Service at the new Site, the Customer may elect to continue with the Contract in which event:

a) the Customer will continue to pay all charges (including rental and other recurring charges) up to, during and following the change-over period when the Service is transferred to the new Site.

Number Porting Compensation Scheme*

1. Where the Customer wishes to port their existing 01, 02 or 056 number from their previous service provider to BT and BT agrees that this can be achieved, BT will provide the Customer with a Port Date.

2. If BT fails to port the number on or before the Port Date, the Customer may claim a daily rate for each whole or part day BT is late in porting the number for each channel affected. The daily rate will be calculated in accordance with paragraph 7 below.

3. The Customer will not be entitled to claim as set out in paragraph 2 above if in BT?s opinion:

(a) someone other than BT (including but not limited to the previous service provider) causes a delay or prevents BT from porting the number;

(b) BT asks for access to the Site and the Customer does not allow this;

(c) BT reasonably asks for other help and the Customer does not provide it;

(d) BT is unable to contact the Customer;

(e) the number has been ported by the Port Date but the Service Start Date has been delayed for other reasons;

(f) BT?s failure is due to matters beyond its reasonable control as set out in clause 9 of the Conditions.

5. The Customer must make any claim within four months of BT confirming that the delayed number port has been completed. Claims may be made by phone or in writing. BT?s contact phone number and address are shown on the Customer?s bill.

6. BT will normally deduct any amount that BT owes to the Customer under paragraph 2 from the Customer?s bill.

Daily Rate

7. The monthly rental (excluding VAT) for each BT SIP Trunk channel affected will be multiplied by 12 and divided by 365 to arrive at the daily rate. The daily rate will be multiplied by the number of days that the Customer is entitled to claim. Subject to paragraph 4 above, there is no limit on the number of days that can be claimed.
