Pricing Information

Prevailing Prices - Epsilon / 21e

21E Price Change Positioning

All rental charges are paid quarterly in advance with any price changes taking effect at the start of the billing quarter following the date of the change.

All rental prices affected by percentage discounts will be rounded to the nearest penny.

Porting of Telephone Numbers From Featurenet

Only working telephone numbers can be exported externally to other operators services from Featurenet, as Geographic Number Portability (GNP) can only be applied to working telephone numbers. Any spare telephone numbers in a number range managed as part of the customers Featurenet service, must be allocated to the customer before porting takes place. Once porting is completed, any spare numbers in the managed range will be sterilised by Featurenet and under no circumstances can these telephone numbers be subsequently allocated to the customer. Customers wishing to arrange for spare Featurenet telephone numbers to be allocated to their Featurenet service before porting, they can do so by using the Number Diversion Facility.

Number Portability Delay - Daily Rate Rental Credit

Customers may claim the amounts set out below if BT is late providing service due to delay in porting the Customer's telephone number(s) from its previous provider(s), and if the conditions for the service(s) concerned do not include compensation for such delay(s) under an applicable service level agreement.

Daily Rate Rental Credit is the amount BT will credit the Customer for each whole or part day BT is late in providing the service and will be calculated excluding VAT.

For each Featurenet 5000 Access Line which is subject to a porting delay due to BT, then the Daily Rate Rental will be calculated on the basis of the quarterly line rental for that line multiplied by 4 and then divided by 365 days.

For each Featurenet 1000 Access Line which is subject to a porting delay due to BT, then the Daily Rate Rental will be calculated on the basis of the quarterly line rental for that line multiplied by 4 and then divided by 365 days, plus the site rental at the affected site divided by the Featurenet 1000 lines at that site multiplied by 4 and divided by 365.

The Daily Rate Rental will be multiplied by the number of days that the Customer is entitled to claim for.

There is no upper limit on the number of days that can be claimed.

The Daily Rate Rental Credit will be applied as a rebate to the customer's bill.

Contract Variations

1 Once a contract has been signed then cancellation or cessation of any of the services ordered may incur charges.

2 If the Contract or any part of the Service is cancelled at any time before BT provides the Service then the Customer will be liable to pay the full 1 Year Minimum Period Set-up Fees plus 1 Quarter's Rental Charges at the 1 Year Minimum Period rates. There will be a five day period following receipt of the signed Contract by the BT Featurenet Technical Centre, during which cancellation may be made without incurring charges. When provision of a Service is placed on hold by the Customer during the provision cycle it can only be held for a maximum of 3 months. After this time the Service will be deemed to be cancelled and any appropriate charges as detailed above will be raised.

3 Once BT has provided the Service, then the Service is subject to the Minimum Term applicable to each Service element provided and full Rental Charges will be charged for that period.

4 If the Contract or any part of the Service, which has a Minimum Period of 3 years or greater, is terminated after the Service has been provided, then the charges quoted in paragraph 3 above will apply and in addition early termination charges will apply to the following products :

ACD Management Datastream Line

Featurenet 1000/5000 Access Lines

Featurenet Site / Network Charges

Featurenet Attendant Console / Lines

Business Continuity

The early termination charges which will be payable are based on a percentage of the outstanding rental charges due for each year until the end of the Minimum Period, and are calculated from when the cessation / termination occurs based on the table below. For customers with Call Commitment only contracts the early termination charges will be based on the 1 year Minimum Period rates.
