Multiple Exchange Carrier Access Billing Clause Samples

The Multiple Exchange Carrier Access Billing clause establishes the procedures and responsibilities for billing when telecommunications services involve more than one exchange carrier. In practice, this clause outlines how charges are calculated, allocated, and invoiced among the different carriers that jointly provide access services to a customer, ensuring that each carrier receives appropriate compensation for its portion of the service. Its core function is to prevent billing disputes and ensure accurate, coordinated billing in situations where multiple carriers are involved in delivering a single telecommunications service.
