NAC704.68953. Responsibilities of provider.

     1. A provider is solely responsible for:

     (a) Collecting bills rendered for its telecommunication and billing services and for the use of its facilities;

     (b) Billing disputes with end users; and

     (c) Paying all local and toll charges, and making appropriate deposits with the local exchange company as required, even if the provider cannot collect the fees for its services from the end user. If a provider fails to pay a bill, the local exchange company may terminate service, and the provider is subject to the appropriate tariffs of that local exchange company regarding termination of service.

     2. A provider shall separately identify all charges for local service that it provides on the bill of an end user. If an end user receives local exchange service only from the local exchange company, the provider shall not charge the end user for shared tenant service.
