Part V: Definitions. Part I: Rates and Charges. 1. Details. Customer agrees to pay the monthly recurring charges ( MRC ) and non-recurring charges ( NRC ) for Data Center Interconnection Services as specified in the applicable Service Order. Part II: Service Description and Requirements. 1. Data Center Interconnection Services. Data Center Interconnection Services provides Customer with network connectivity within a Facility operated by Verizon. To use Data Center Interconnection Services, Customer must also contract separately with Verizon for Colocation Services. 2. Carrier Neutrality and Alternate Carriers. Customer may arrange on its own (via separate contract) to bring in additional non-verizon circuits from a third-party subject to the following conditions: 2.1 The alternate carrier must have an approved existing presence inside the Facility, and Customer must purchase a Verizon provided interconnection (cross connect) to the alternate carrier s existing presence in Faculty. 2.2 Verizon does not take responsibility for alternate carrier circuits, nor does Verizon make any promises or warranties whatsoever regarding their performance. 2.3 Verizon does not monitor or maintain alternate carrier capacity in the Facility. If Customer is utilizing an alternate carrier in a Verizon data center and such alternate carrier infrastructure requires augmentation, Customer acknowledges that the alternate carrier is responsible for notifying Verizon a minimum of onehundred and twenty (120) Business Days prior to the desired augment availability. 2.4 Customer may not directly interconnect with any third parties without prior written consent of Verizon. Verizon reserves the right to require that any permitted interconnection with a third party be set forth in separate contract. 2.5 Specific to Signature Data Centers (Including Data Centers on the Alternate Carrier Data Center Exception List). All Signature Data Centers are carrier neutral. 2.6 Specific to, Advanced and Standard Data Centers (as set forth on the Alternate Carrier Data Center Exception List): Customer must purchase at least an equal amount of Data Center colocation -related connectivity from Verizon. For example, if Customer wishes to bring in a T-3 circuit from another provider, it must purchase a T-3 or greater circuit from Verizon. Should Verizon determine Customer is purchasing more bandwidth from the alternate carrier, Customer will promptly purchase additional bandwidth from Verizon. Except as set forth herein, Verizon s Data Centers are not carrierneutral facilities. Verizon allows alternate carrier access to its Data Center Colocation customers for redundancy purposes only. 2.7 Customer will not be allowed to purchase alternate carrier access if such access requires the alternate carrier to pull fiber to Customer s cabinet directly. 2.8 Alternate Carrier Data Center Exception List. location Site Code Site Classification Public Internet (Yes/No) Exchange Point Services Available (Yes/No) Carrier Neutral (Yes/No) Number of Carriers Ashburn IAD1 Atlanta ATL1 Yes No No 2
