Each Charge will become due and payable and will be invoiced in accordance with Appendix A.

The Charges apply in addition to any charges applicable under any other agreement or arrangement (including any STD) between Chorus and the Service Provider.

Notwithstanding anything else, Chorus may propose an addition or deletion of any Charge, by giving at least 3 months’ notice to the Service Provider. Where there is an additional charge, such notice shall include the appropriate price change mechanism for the purposes of clause 4.

No Fault Found Charges

Chorus may charge Charges for no fault found in accordance with the Operations Manual.

Responsibility for faults
Chorus is only responsible for faults that are within Chorus’ responsibility, as set out in section 25 of the General Terms. If Chorus investigates and no fault is found or no fault for which Chorus is responsible is found, Chorus will charge the Service Provider the no fault found fee as set out in Table 4 at Appendix A. Where Chorus is responsible for the fault, a no-fault found fee will be not charged.
