Reciprocal Compensation** — Traffic type, rate, symmetric/asymmetric, jurisdictional basis **B. Transport / Tandem / Entrance Facilities** — Element, NRC, MRC, order interval **C. Access Charges** — Traffic type, tariff/rate reference, conditions Billing workflow: specify invoice timing/format (EMR/EDI/CSV), records retention and audit rights, dispute window, and undisputed-amount payment terms. ## Dispute Resolution Ladder | Stage | Timeframe | Scope | |---|---|---| | Operational Negotiation | X business days | Technical/billing issues | | Executive Escalation | X days | Unresolved operational disputes | | Mediation | X days | Non-binding commercial disputes | | Regulatory Complaint | As needed | § 251/252 compliance, rates, traffic classification | | Arbitration | Final step | Purely commercial contract disputes | ## Regulatory Filing - Filing deadline after execution: [VERIFY] - Effective date: execution vs PUC approval vs filing - PUC rejection: amendment process and interim performance obligations ## Pitfalls and Checks - Never invent rates, POIs, FRNs, or regulatory approvals — use placeholders if missing - Tie traffic classification to specific jurisdictional rules and tariffs; flag VoIP treatment uncertainty - Cite federal framework: Communications Act §§ 251-252 and 47 C.F.R. Part 51 [VERIFY] - Include "continue to perform" during disputes to prevent service disruption - Add jurisdiction addendum for known state PUC rules; otherwise include a state-law non-preemption clause - Use defined terms consistently; verify all internal cross-references - Move POIs, technical specs, and rate tables to exhibits when the agreement exceeds 10 pages
