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

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.

Definitions

Provision of call diversion in the event of Service Failure

1. In the event of a Service Failure, and following a request from the Customer, BT may, at BT?s discretion, provide a call diversion service as described in paragraph 2 below.

2. BT will divert the Customer?s incoming Calls to another fixed line or mobile telephone number agreed with the Customer. The number chosen must be a UK number, but there are some number ranges to which BT will not divert the Customer?s Calls (for example, 0800 and 0870 numbers).

3. BT will remove call diversion when BT has repaired the fault causing the Service Failure, or referred the fault back to the Customer in accordance with paragraph 2.6 of the Schedule.

4. If BT diverts the Customer's Calls to a mobile number, the diverted element of the Call will be deducted from the Customer's call allowance and the person calling the Customer will not have to pay for the diverted element of the Call.
