Grades of Service Sample Clauses
The "Grades of Service" clause defines the specific levels or standards of performance that a service provider must meet when delivering services. It typically outlines measurable criteria such as response times, availability, or quality benchmarks, and may categorize services into different tiers based on these metrics. By clearly establishing expectations for service delivery, this clause helps ensure accountability and provides a basis for evaluating whether the agreed-upon service levels are being met, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes between parties.

5.1 Local Trunk Group for the Exchange of Subject Traffic
5.1.1 Parties agree that Local Trunk groups described herein will carry only Subject Traffic.
5.1.2 Parties expressly agree that traffic not provided in Section 5.1.1 including but not limited to third Party traffic (including CMRS) and toll traffic is not permitted to be carried on Local Trunk Group(s).
5.1.3 No-Subject Traffic will be billed by the terminating Party at rates contained in the terminating Party’s interstate and intrastate access tariffs regardless of the technology used for the delivery of such traffic.
5.1.4 In the event either Party believes that traffic terminated to it via a Local Trunk Group(s) contains non-Subject Traffic (“Misrouted Traffic”), the terminating Party will notify the originating Party of the contaminated group(s) and provide results of its analysis in a written notice. The originating Party will have 10 days from receipt of such notice to reroute the Misrouted Traffic to a toll group to maintain treatment of traffic on the Local Trunk Group(s) as local.
5.1.5 Should the originating Party in Section 5.1.3 above fail to correct the traffic contamination within 10 days pursuant to Section 5.1.3 above, the terminating Party will treat that portion of Misrouted Traffic terminated over the Local Trunk Group(s) as Interexchange Access and will bill at rates contained in its interstate and intrastate access tariffs regardless of the technology used for the delivery of such traffic. Parties agree that the terminating Party may bill Misrouted Traffic by deriving a Misrouted Traffic Factor and applying that factor to all traffic delivered by the originating Party. The terminating party may also pursue remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, instituting an appropriate proceeding before the Commission, the FCC, or a court of competent jurisdiction, without having to comply with the Dispute Resolution provisions of Section 15.
5.1.6 Upon written notice from the originating Party that such contamination has been corrected, the terminating Party will have 10 days to provide a written response to the correction notice. Should the terminating Party confirm the correction or not respond to the correction notice within 10 days, compensation starting from the date of c...

For terminating FGD, SBC ILLINOIS will pass all SS7 signaling information including, without limitation, CPN if it receives CPN from FGD carriers. All privacy indicators will be honored. Where available, network signaling information such as transit network selection ("TNS") parameter, carrier identification codes (“CIC”) (CCS platform) and CIC/OZZ information (non-SS7 environment) will be provided by CLEC wherever such information is needed for call routing or billing. The Parties will follow all OBF adopted standards pertaining to TNS and CIC/OZZ codes.

6.1 For billing purposes, each Party shall pass Calling Party Number (CPN) information on at least ninety-five percent (95%) of calls carded over the Interconnection Trunks.
6.1.1 As used in this Section 6, "Traffic Rate" means the applicable Reciprocal Compensation Traffic rate, Measured Internet Traffic rate, intrastate Switched Exchange Access Service rate, interstate Switched Exchange Access Service rate, or intrastate/interstate Tandem Transit Traffic rate, as provided in the Pricing Attachment, an applicable Tariff, or, for Measured Internet Traffic, the FCC Internet Orders.
6.1.2 If the originating Party passes CPN on ninety-five percent (95%) or more of its calls, the receiving Party shall ▇▇▇▇ the originating Party the Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for which CPN is passed. For any remaining (up to 5%) calls without CPN information, the receiving Party shall ▇▇▇▇ the originating Party for such traffic at the Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic, in Verizon-HTCCConformedSC Agreemenvt3.3 050709 64 direct proportion to the minutes of use of calls passed with CPN
6.1.3 If the originating Party passes CPN on less than ninety-five percent (95%) of its calls and the originating Party chooses to combine Reciprocal Compensation Traffic and Toll Traffic on the same trunk group, the receiving Party shall ▇▇▇▇ the higher of its interstate Switched Exchange Access Service rates or its intrastate Switched Exchange Access Services rates for all traffic that is passed without CPN, unless
6.2 At such time as a receiving Party has the capability, on an automated basis, to use such CPN to classify traffic delivered over Interconnection Trunks by the other Party by Traffic Rate type (e.g., Reciprocal Compensation Traffic/Measured Switched Exchange Access Service, or intrastate/interstate Tandem Transit Traffic), such receiving Party shall ▇▇▇▇ the originating Party the Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for which CPN is passed. If the receiving Party lacks the capability, on an automated basis, to use CPN information on an automated basis to classify traffic delivered by the other Party by Traffic Rate type, the originating Party will supply Traffic Factor 1 and Traffic...
