2.17 Various Subsections below list the 251(c)(3) Unbundled Network Elements that SBC TEXAS has agreed,
subject to the other terms and conditions in this Agreement, to make available to CLEC for the provision by
CLEC of a telecommunications service. SBC TEXAS will make additional 251(c)(3) Unbundled Network
Elements available pursuant to the terms of Section 2.28 of this Attachment.
2.18 Subject to the terms herein, SBC TEXAS is responsible only for the installation, operation and maintenance
of the 251(c)(3) Unbundled Network Elements it provides. SBC TEXAS is not otherwise responsible for the
telecommunications services provided by CLEC through the use of those elements.
2.19 Except upon request, SBC TEXAS will not separate preexisting combinations of network elements.
2.20 Where 251(c)(3) Unbundled Network Elements provided to CLEC are dedicated to a single end user, if such
elements are for any reason disconnected they will be made available to SBC TEXAS for future provisioning
needs, unless such element is disconnected in error. CLEC agrees to relinquish control of any such UNE
concurrent with the disconnection of CLEC’s End User’s Services.
2.20.1 SBC TEXAS and CLEC shall be barred from using disconnect reports, loss notifications, or any other
notification of disconnection provided by SBC TEXAS’ wholesale operations for marketing purposes of any
kind. Instead such notifications are provided for back office purposes only.
2.21 Each Party is solely responsible for the services it provides to its end users and to other
Telecommunications Carriers.
2.22 Except as otherwise set forth in this Attachment, SBC TEXAS will provide CLEC reasonable notification of
service-affecting activities that may occur in normal operation of SBC TEXAS’ business. Such activities
may include, but are not limited to, equipment or facilities additions, removals or rearrangements, routine
preventative maintenance and major network facilities change-out. Generally, such activities are not
individual service specific, but affect many services. No specific advance notification period is applicable to
all such service activities. Reasonable notification procedures will be negotiated by SBC TEXAS and CLEC.
2.23 The use of the term “purchase” herein notwithstanding, 251(c)(3) Unbundled Network Elements provided to
CLEC under the provisions of this Attachment will remain the property of SBC TEXAS.
2.24 The elements provided pursuant to this Agreement will be available to SBC TEXAS at times mutually
agreed upon in order to permit SBC TEXAS to make tests and adjustments appropriate for maintaining the
