Exemptions apply to individual sites and are not transferable to other sites. | ||||||||
Only one exemption is available per site. | ||||||||
If the customer requests a method of providing service which is more costly than the least cost network solution Openreach would normally provide it will charge the customer the actual charges for this requested method of providing service less the lower of either: | ||||||||
(a) the exemption or; | ||||||||
(b) the full charges for the least cost network solution. | ||||||||
General condition - applies to Wholesale Access, Wholesale Digital Access and Local Loop Unbundling | ||||||||
Where an order is received for concurrent provision of service to a number of individual end user sites (including those in multi-tenanted premises) on the same date, the exemption for each end user can be added together and the exemptions will be applied collectively. However, this only applies to the concurrent provision work on the same date and the application of the exemption cannot be deferred to a later date. | ||||||||
