The Customer, in exchange for commitment to a one or two year plus contract with BT, can obtain a discount on the VoIP Calls Commitment scheme (see above for variable discount tiers). The expenditure level to which the Customer signs is the minimum amount that must be spent per annum. e.g. Committed Spend £10000.00 (for 2 year contract), £100000.00 year 1 and £100000.00 year 2.
75% of the Committed Spend for a 2 year plus contract must be spent in year 1. e.g. Committed Spend £100000.00 (for 2 year contract), £75000.00 year 1 and £125000.00 year 2.
Customer's actual annual spend will be assessed against Committed Spend once a year, in accordance with the Customer's billing cycle. At that point their actual spend is permitted to be up to 10% less than their Committed Spend. The `Contract Floor' is 90% of the Customer's Committed Spend.
If the Customer's actual annual spend is more than 10% below the Committed Spend, then BT will recover the discount overpaid and charge the Customer 20% of the difference between the actual expenditure and the Committed Spend which will be raised on the next appropriate bill.
