| Long Term Contracts | | To have subscribed to a Long Term Contract customers must, - - have been a BT Freefone and/or BT 0845 and/or BT 0870 customer for at least one year, with call volumes over 3 million minutes in the preceding year OR - paid a deposit of £24000 for a commitment of between 3 and 12 million minutes or £40000 for a greater commitment. This deposit will be returned to the customer at the end of the first year if the first year's conditions of the Long Term Contract are met.
| Call minutes on BT 0870, BT Contactcall 0871 and BT Call Director services can be used to make up the volume commitment level. | Non Achievement Charge | | At the anniversary of the contract the total paid duration of all Freefone/BT 0845/BT 0870, BT Contactcall 0871 and BT Call Director calls, though excluding any calls from Freefone Validation Service, charged to a single telephone billing number, will be totalled. The year's total will be used to determine if the yearly commitment is met. | If there is a shortfall in the committed volume in any one-year of the contract, the customer will be required to pay BT the following charges, |
| A - For Freefone and BT 0845 calls the customer must pay £24000 and pay back any discount earned over the standard Option 115 discounts for the year. For BT 0870 the customer must payback any payment earned over and above the Option 103 Basic Service payments for the year. In addition if the customer has the Midnight Calls Option they must pay an amount equal to part or all of the difference between the standard Option 115 discounts for the year and the Midnight Call Option charge for all appropriate minutes. | B -The customer must repay any discounts he received in excess of those he would have received had he committed to the achieved volume. He must also repay any call payments he received in excess of those he would have received had he committed to the achieved volume. | C - For Freefone and BT 0845 calls, the customer must repay any discount earned in excess of the standard Option 120 discounts for the year. For BT 0870 the customer must pay back any payment earned over and above the Option 103 Basic Service payments for the year. Customers who have the Midnight Call Option will also pay back any discount earned over the standard Option 120 discounts where applicable. | All under achievement charges will be multiplied by a factor of 1.06. If the under achievement is less than 10% of the committed volume, the charges will be multiplied by a factor of only 0.53 for Freefone and BT 0845, for BT 0870 under achievement charges will be multiplied by 1.03. |
| Early Termination | | Customers wishing to terminate a Long Term Contract before the end of the term and deciding not to subscribe to a new contract with a higher volume and/or longer term commitment, must pay £24000 for a commitment of between 3 and 12 million minutes or £40000 for a higher commitment. They must also repay any term contract savings earned over the applicable Option 115 or Option 120 discounts in the current year.This also applies to any savings the customer may have received on any Midnight Calls Option. |
| Contract Revision | | Contracts can be revised upwards at each anniversary, however new discounts will not be applied retrospectively to any previous years charges. Those customers required to pay a deposit will be allowed to revise their contract upwards once within the first year. Discounts will not be applied retrospectively in such cases. | Revision downwards in the life of a Long Term Contract will only be allowed if the customer underachieves though only to the band of achievement. (Charges are payable as outlined in the paragraph 'Failure to Achieve Committed Volume'). | Customers with a Long Term Contract have the opportunity, once during each contract year and at each anniversary, to change this Long Term Contract to a Guaranteed Price Long Term Contract. They retain their existing seniority on the new contract, however, the new charges will not be applied retrospectively to previous years usage. | If the customer has the Midnight Calls Option the Option will automatically be revised, as appropriate though any new discount will not be applied retrospectively. |
| End of Term | | At the end of the Long Term Contract the customer will be given the opportunity to: - - Extend the existing contract by 1 final year:
- - Obtain the same terms as in the previous year, though only by committing to an additional year at the same volume.
- - Enter a new agreement
- - Where a customer has the Midnight Calls Option the same applies to the Option.
|
|
| Guaranteed Price Long Term Contracts | | To be eligible for a Guaranteed Price Long Term Contract, customers must have been a BT Freefone and/or BT 0845 customer for at least 1 year, with call volumes over 36 million minutes and a proven growth record. | For the duration of the contract call charges are guaranteed not to exceed the charges quoted at the commencement of the contract. Call payments are not guaranteed for the duration of the contract. | If more advantageous BT call charges or payments become available within this Part of the Price List, the customer has the option of terminating the current contract in favour of a new contract at the better charges or payments without penalty. | The minimum duration of a GPLTC contract is 5 years with a minimum annual commitment of 48 million minutes. Within the 5-year contract, the annual commitment of 48, 60, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200 or 250 million annual minutes is agreed at the start of each contract year. The paid duration of all Freefone/BT 0845/BT 0870/BT Contactcall 0871/Valuecall/Domestic UFS and BT Call Director calls, though excluding any calls from Freefone Validation Service, will be totalled. The years total at the contract anniversary date will be used to determine if the yearly commitment is met. | Non Achievement Charge | | If there is a shortfall, in excess of 10% against committed volume and the achievement is greater than 36 million minutes in any one year, in the subsequent year the contract will revert to the applicable level for the volume achieved. In such cases if the customer has a Midnight Calls Option, the Option will also be revised to the applicable volume achieved. | If the new commitment volume is not met (however the achievement is greater than 36 million minutes) in the subsequent years of the contract, charges and payments will revert to the applicable level for the volume achieved and an under-achievement charge of £40000 will be payable to BT. In such cases if the customer has a Midnight Calls Option the Option will also be revised to the applicable volume achieved. | If achievement is less than 36 million minutes in any one-year then it will be treated as early termination of the contract and early termination charges will apply. In such cases if the customer has a Midnight Calls Option it will also be terminated and termination charges will be made where applicable. |
| Early Termination | | Customer wishing to terminate a Guaranteed Price Long Term Contract before the end of the term and deciding not to subscribe to a new contract with a higher or similar volume and/or longer term commitment must pay £40000. Additionally, BT will determine whether the volume commitment for the current contract year has been met pro rata. If it has not been met, all call charges and call payments for the year to date will be re-calculated as if the customer had committed, pro rata, to the volumes achieved. The customer shall pay to BT the balance of all monies due. | (1) £40000; AND | (2) if the existing volume commitment for the contract year to date is not being achieved (pro rata/projected over the entire contract year), the customer will be required to pay the difference between the guaranteed charge bill payment (and call payments made) for that year and the applicable volume commitment charge (and payments) for the current achievement. They will also be required to pay the applicable volume contract charge (and payments) which would have applied, had the volume already achieved that year up to the date of termination, been maintained over the remainder of the contract year. | (3) this methodology will also apply to the Midnight Call Option. |
| Contract Revision | | Contracts can be revised upwards once during each contract year and at each anniversary, however new charges and payments will not be applied retrospectively. | If the customer has the Midnight Calls Option the Option will automatically be revised, as appropriate however any new discount will not be applied retrospectively. |
| End of Term | | The customer will be given the opportunity to extend existing contract by one final year at the fifth year charge. | Where a customer has the Midnight Calls Option the same applies to the Option. | If more advantageous BT Call Prices or Payments become available within this Part of the Price List, the Customer has the option of terminating the current contract in favour of a new Contract at the better Prices or Payments. The Customer would not incur under-achievement or early termination charges so long as they commit to the same or higher commitment levels and for a period equal to or greater than the period remaining on current Contract. | The new Prices or Payments will not be applied retrospectively. |
|
|
| Additional Information - Specific to These Options No Longer Available for New Service | | Migration Path for Rationalisation of Term Contracts | | BT will permit migration where customers with existing contracts are; (i) the same company, (ii) a part of the same group of companies (iii) where one existing Telemarketing Servicescustomer obtains a 50% holding or more of another existing Telemarketing Services customer and they wish to rationalise their contracts. | In such cases, and where commitment contracts need to be migrated, the following conditions apply: 1. If the total of the customers' minimum commitments from existing contracts equal the minimum commitment level of an existing contract band, the customer may migrate to a contract with that minimum commitment level. 2. If the total of the customers' minimum commitments from existing contracts does not equal the minimum commitment of an existing contract band, the customer may choose to be migrated onto the commitment band immediately below the combined minimum, as shown in the table below. | The customer will not incur early termination charges and the contract year will begin: - at the commencement of the current year of the older contract where both of the contracts are Non-commitment Term Contracts or - at the commencement of the current year of the LTC or GPLTC where one of the contracts is a Non-commitment Term Contract or - at the commencement of the current year for the larger existing contract where both of the contracts are LTC or GPLTC. In cases where the existing contracts are for the same volume commitment, the contract year will begin at the commencement of the current year of the older of the existing contracts. | Where the most appropriate commitment band for the combined minima of the existing contracts is greater than the maximum commitment available within a Long Term Contract, it may be appropriate for customers to move to a Guaranteed Price Long Term Contract in order to rationalise contracts. In this case all terms and conditions for Guaranteed Price Long Term Contracts will apply. | Alternatively customers may choose to retain the existing individual contracts and migrate at the appropriate revision dates following the principles as above. | In the event that two companies have combined their contracts into one and then cease to be one entity, (e.g. there ceases to be a 50% or more share holding by one company in another), then it will be the responsibility of the customer holding the combined contract to advise BT accordingly. In such circumstances, commitments will have to be separated and appropriate under achievement or early termination charges may become necessary. | The tables below provide an indication of the potential migration paths. |
|
| Where the resultant figure from the tables above, is equal to or greater than 48m minutes, then it will be only be possible to combine commitments within a Guaranteed Price Long Term Contract. |

| Telemarketing Service (Ts) Commitment - Across All Services | | Freefone, BT 0845, BT 0870 and BT Contactcall 0871 customers with over 1 million accumulated minutes per year may subscribe to TS Commitment. TS Commitment customers are required to agree to a volume commitment level and a fixed contract period of 1, 3 or 5 years. TS Commitment customers may also subscribe to the Midnight Calls Option. Applying to Freefone and BT 0845 calls only, this option provides reduced call prices between 10.00pm and 6.00am Monday - Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday in return for a quarterly option fee. Customers with an existing Long Term Contract or Guaranteed Price Long Term Contract may terminate their contract without incurring an underachievement or early termination charge on condition they subscribe to a TS Commitment contract with a term longer than the un-expired period of the existing contract and an equivalent or higher volume. | For example, a customer currently on the third year of a 5 year 24 million minutes Long Term contract may transfer to a fresh 3 or 5 year 24 million minutes TS Commitment contract. | A customer on an 18 million minutes Long Term Contract either 3 or 5 years may sign a fresh 12 million minutes 3 or 5 year term TS Commitment contract respectively and terminate their existing contract without incurring termination charges. However, if the customer is not achieving 18 million minutes within the LTC then, they will incur the appropriate LTC under achievement charges. If the 18 million minute customer wishes to terminate the LTC contract to subscribe to a TS Commitment before the LTC contract anniversary, they will only incur under achievement charges if the current minute achievement pro rated to the contract anniversary, is less than 18 million minutes. | By subscribing to TS Commitment, the customer is entitled to the Freefone and BT 0845 call charges and call payments for BT 0870 and BT Contactcall 0871 as detailed below. | If more advantageous BT Call Prices or Payments become available within this Part of the Price List, the Customer has the option of terminating the current Contract in favour of a new Contract at the better Prices or Payments. The TSC Customer would not incur under-achievement or early termination charges. | The new Prices or Payments will not be applied retrospectively. | The following benefits are also available free to TS Commitment customers. |
| Reports & Controls | | (See relevant subpart within this Part ). | The figures in the table below show the maximum free entitlement available to customers on each commitment level. If further Reports or Controls are required they can be obtained by paying the standard charges. There is no per number charge for Web EIS Statistics On-Line Reports. |

The Customer would not incur under-achievement or early termination charges so long as they commit to the same or higher commitment levels and for a period equal to or greater than the period remaining on current Contract. | The new Prices or Payments will not be applied retrospectively. |
| Under Achievement Charge | | At the anniversary of the TS Commitment (i.e. 1 year from the date on which the contract was originally signed) the total paid duration of all relevant services: Freefone/BT 0845/BT 0870/BT Contactcall 0871/Valuecall/Domestic UFS and BT Call Director calls will be totalled. The year's total at the TS Commitment anniversary date will be used to determine if the yearly commitment has been met. | If there is a shortfall between the actual achievement and the committed volume in any one year the under achievement charges will be calculated using the tables below; |
| * The re-pricing calculations will be made using the prices effective on the TS Commitment anniversary date and will apply to the whole year. This also applies to any savings on any calls in Midnight Calls Option. For under achievement charging purposes, appropriate rate implies the TSC commitment tier most appropriate to customers level of achievement e.g a customer committed to a 12m minute TSC contract achieving 7m minutes is most appropriate to a 6m contract. | Also, where a customer generates an under achievement charge, the customer will also pay the additional equivalent of one year's fixed Under Achievement Charge as detailed in the table below. |
| - Example
- This shows the Under Achievement Charge incurred by a customer (with Freefone numbers) who has signed for a 5-year, 24 million minute Advance Scheme 2 contract but who achieves only 20 million minutes within a contract year.
- The Under Achievement Charges are calculated as follows:
- Cost for 20 million mins @ 24 million min commitment level rate will be 20m x 3.96ppm (at current rates) = £792000
- Cost for 20 million mins @ 12 million min commitment level rate will be 20m x 4.08ppm (at current rates) = £816000
- The amount payable is the difference between the above + the Fixed Under Achievement charge.
- (£816000 - £792000) + £5000 (at current rates)
- TOTAL Under Achievement Charge payable by the customer to BT is £29000

| Early Termination | | Termination charges will apply to a customer who wishes to terminate their TS Commitment contract before the end of the term. The Termination charges will not apply to customers subscribing to a new contract with both a similar or longer term commitment with similar or higher volumes, provided the customer has achieved the committed volume for the current TS Commitment year. | If a customer terminates their TS Commitment and has not achieved the committed volume for the current contract year, the customer will incur under-achievement charges in addition to the Early Termination charges. |
| Early Termination Charges | | Customers who terminate their TS Commitment contract before the expiry of the full contract term will be liable for the following charges. | 1 year contract | Customers on a 1 year contract or on a final year contract extension (see `End of Term') who terminate before the end of the contract term may be subject to underachievement charges if appropriate. | 3 or 5 year contract | Customers on a 3 or 5 year contract will be subject to underachievement charges, if appropriate, for the year in which they terminate contract. They will also be charged the fixed early termination charge for commitment volume for every full year remaining on the cointract, see table below; |
