ITU-T D.195 (04/2011) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunicatio

11、ns, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications

12、 on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid

13、 down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunicat

14、ion administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these manda

15、tory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws a

16、ttention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or ot

17、hers outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represe

19、 1 Recommendation ITU-T D.195 Time-scale for settlement of accounts for international telecommunication services The ITU-T, recognizing a) that, in todays dynamic commercial environment, the existing settlement period is too long and unrealistic for some parties, and that it would be beneficial to m

20、any parties to modify the existing settlements process; b) that in order to improve the settlements process and shorten the time period for settlements, it would be more efficient and time-saving to establish generally acceptable procedures that can be used as a guideline for bilateral agreement, re

21、cognizing further a) that administrations and ROAs may establish provisions for bilateral accounting and settlements in accordance with Article 1 of the ITRs, by mutual agreement; b) should there be any conflict regarding the time-scale in this Recommendation and those stated in Appendix 1 of the In

22、ternational Telecommunication Regulations, then the latter prevail, considering a) that the current settlement period tends to be longer than some commercial transactions; b) that more well-balanced treatment could be brought about between debtor carriers and creditor carriers by shortening the sett

23、lement period, recommends a) that monthly accounts for traffic on direct circuits and direct-settled transit1traffic will be sent within 50 days following the end of the month to which they relate. If parties bilaterally agree, this period can be reduced to less than 50 days, for example, to 30 days

24、; b) that questioning a monthly account will be made within 50 days after the receipt of the account. If parties bilaterally agree, this period can be reduced to less than 50 days, for example, to 30 days; c) that taking into consideration the periods required by a) and b), a monthly settlement stat

25、ement showing the balances of the monthly accounts for the period to which it relates may be prepared by the creditor administration or ROA, unless otherwise agreed between the carriers; d) that payment of the balances of account on the undisputed amounts will normally be paid within 40 days of its

26、arrival of the settlement statement2. To ensure prompt delivery, the creditor carrier will send a statement by facsimile or by electronic means; _ 1Cascade settlement will not be included. 2The arrival of the settlement statement can be ascertained by the following ways: In case of exchange of the s

27、ettlement statement by electronic data interchange (EDI): automatically by the system; In case of exchange of the settlement statement by fax: by the request of a confirmation of receipt via return fax; In case of exchange of the settlement statement by mail: by return receipt request process. 2 Rec

28、. ITU-T D.195 (04/2011) e) that when remitting payment, a statement indicating the service period, the type of service, the invoice number, the amount paid, the currency and its conversion factor, the dispute details, and the contact name and contact information will accompany the payment; f) that b

29、eyond the period in d) above, the creditor carrier may, subject to prior notification in the form of the final demand for payment, and unless otherwise agreed, charge interest at a rate of 6% per annum on undisputed amounts, commencing from the day following the date of expiry of the said period; g)

30、 that any interest applicable for direct-settled transit traffic will be borne by the originating administration; h) that parties may, upon mutual agreement, vary the provisions laid out herein.
