|
|
|
"20(1) Bord Telecom Eireann plc may provide a facility (in this Scheme referred to as "Freefone Discount" facility) to telephone Subscribers generally or to such group of telephone Subscribers as it shall determine whereby a telephone Subscriber may, receive a discount on the prevailing Call charges for Eligible Freefone Calls as specified in Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Section III of Part 6 of the First Schedule hereto where the value of the Discounted Call Charges due (exclusive of Value Added Tax) by the Subscriber to Bord Telecom Eireann plc on a single telephone account in respect of Eligible Freefone Calls is not less than a Minimum Spend Level specified in Part 3 of Section VII of Part 6 of the First Schedule hereto.
|
|
|
Where a Subscriber wishes to avail of the facility and selects a Minimum Spend Level, Bord Telecom Eireann plc shall apply the corresponding percentage discount specified in Part 3 of Section VII of Part 6 of the First Schedule hereto. Bord Telecom Eireann plc may, at its absolute discretion withdraw the facility from all or any of its Subscribers.
|
|
|
20(2) For the purposes of this Scheme:
|
|
|
"Eligible Freefone Calls" are National Freefone Calls and International Freefone Calls.
|
|
|
"National Freefone Calls" are Calls made by a caller from a telephone exchange line within the State to 1800, 1850 and 1890 numbers terminating in the State.
|
|
|
"International Freefone Calls" are Calls made by a caller outside the State to 1800 numbers terminating in the State.
|
|
|
"Minimum Spend Level" is the value of the Discounted Call Charges for Eligible Freefone Calls per Billing Cycle which the Subscriber is obliged to pay in each Billing Cycle in order to avail of the facility.
|
|
|
"Billing Cycle" is the monthly period in respect of which charges for Eligible Freefone Calls are billed by Bord Telecom Eireann plc to Subscribers.
|
|
|
"Discounted Call Charges" are the value of Call charges for Eligible Freefone Calls after the appropriate percentage discount specified in Part 3 of Section VII of Part 6 of the First Schedule hereto has been applied thereto.
|
|
|
20(3) It shall be a condition of the application of the facility that:
|
|
|
(a) the value of the Discounted Call Charges for Eligible Freefone Calls payable by the Subscriber to Bord Telecom Eireann plc per Billing Cycle shall not be less than the Minimum Spend Level selected by the Subscriber;
|
|
|
(b) in the event of the Discounted Call Charges for Eligible Freefone Calls payable by the Subscriber to Bord Telecom Eireann plc in a Billing Cycle being less than the Minimum Spend Level the Subscriber shall be liable to pay to Bord Telecom Eireann plc such sum as represents the value of the Minimum Spend Level selected by it;
|
|
|
(c) in the event of the Call charges actually paid by the Subscriber for Eligible Freefone Calls in a Billing Cycle exceeding the Minimum Spend Level selected by the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall be entitled to a discount at the percentage discount rates appropriate to the Minimum Spend Level selected by the Subscriber;
|
|
|
(d) in the event of the Subscriber failing to reach the Minimum Spend Level selected by it in a Billing Cycle due to a reduction in charges for Eligible Freefone Calls, the Subscriber shall be entitled to select a lower Minimum Spend Level and shall be entitled to the appropriate discount on the lower Minimum Spend Level;
|
|
|
(e) the Subscriber may select an increased Minimum Spend Level not more frequently than once every quarter on giving notice of such selection to Bord Telecom Eireann plc. On receipt of such notice, Bord Telecom Eireann plc shall use its best endeavours to change the Minimum Spend Level on the Subscribers account at the commencement of the next Billing Cycle following receipt of such notice and the Subscriber shall be entitled to the appropriate discount on the increased Minimum Spend Level;
|
|
|
(f) accounts to which the facility applies must be discharged in full within 14 days or by means of a direct debit mandate approved by Bord Telecom Eireann plc;
|
|
|
(g) the number of Eligible Freefone numbers on a single account to which the facility applies shall not exceed twenty;
|
|
|
(h) Eligible Freefone Calls shall not attract any other or further discounts.
