2) On joining CCA, CCA prices and, as appropriate, BT Customer Commitment, BT Business Plan (Customer Based option) BT Premier Value, BT Business One Plan or BT Business Reward prices will apply. All other call discount schemes applicable to all the channels and/or lines specified in the Inventory will be ceased from the Operational Service Date.

5) Where the number of channels and/or lines fall below the minimum of 8 channels and/or lines per Site, the CCA will be withdrawn on that Site.

6) Customers may opt channels and/or lines out of CCA as long as they maintain at least 50% of the channels and/or lines nominated at the time of application. If the Contract Period is 24 months, at the end of the first 12 months the 50% figure will be adjusted to 50% of the number of channels and/or lines nominated at the 12 month date. Where the Contract Period is renewed in accordance with the Contract, the 50% figure will be adjusted to 50% of the number of channels and/or lines nominated on CCA on the first day of the new Contract Period.

8) Fair Use

BT reserves the right to terminate CCA [ in which case, the CCA product will terminate and Customers will revert to BT Customer Commitment, BT Business Plan (Customer Based option), BT Premier Value, BT Business One Plan or BT Business Reward as applicable ] if :

i) there is evidence of automated management of outgoing call durations of less than 90 seconds; and/or

ii) there is evidence that 90% or greater of total calls are made within the free period in any calendar month and this trend continues after BT has notified the Customer and allowed time for a review of the calling profile. The 90% or greater of total calls within the free period will take into account the volume of calls per line - where this is less than 1000 calls per line per month, this condition will not be applied. [ "Total calls" means an aggregate of Inland (Local and National Geographic) calls and Fixed to Mobile calls. "Free period" means where no charge has been raised for the entire call duration - for inland calls the first 90 seconds are free; for fixed to mobile calls, calls under 10 seconds are free].

Where BT terminates CCA in accordance with the above paragraph, BT will not accept any further orders for CCA from the customer until:

(a) A period of 12 months from the date of termination has elapsed; and

(b) In BT's reasonable opinion, BT is satisfied that the customer will not breach the terms of these Fair Use provisions in the future.

9) Call Alert Classic is available free of charge on all of the lines/channels nominated under CCA. Customers are required to agree the Terms and Conditions of BT Call Alert Classic Section 15 Part 10 On termination of CCA, Call Alert Classic will not terminate and the relevant pricing will then apply.

No termination charges will apply for termination of CCA and the Customer will revert to a BT Customer Commitment, BT Business Plan (Customer Based option), BT Premier Value, BT Business One Plan or BT Business Reward Contract.
