Circuit availability Delivery Date Delivery fee for frames in case hired service is Service Frame Relay Packet loss fee, in case hired service is of access to internet, or to corporate network based on the IP protocol (VPN IP); Latency in case hired service if of access to the internet or to corporate network based on the IP protocol (VPN IP). The observation period to be considered when calculating the above specified parameters will be that of 1 (one) month, period going from the first to the last day of the month in which service was contracted and supplied to the client.
