7.4  Temporary Rectification

Where the Contractor considers that an incident of Unavailability cannot be remedied within the relevant Rectification Period, and Temporary Rectification is permitted in accordance with Annex II, the Contractor may provide Temporary Rectification. If the Contractor chooses to provide Temporary Rectification in accordance with this paragraph, it may remain in place for the period indicated after which if a permanent repair has not been completed, Unavailability will apply. If the Contractor chooses to provide Temporary Rectification in accordance with this paragraph, and the Failure Event is not remedied within the extended Rectification Period, then Unavailability will be applied for the whole period from notification of the fault.

Where the Contractor provides Temporary Rectification, the Temporary Rectification must meet the Availability Standard albeit that it does not have to be a permanent solution or in keeping with the general building fabric.
