For service contracts concluded for a fixed term with a tacit renewal clause, the trader providing the service shall inform the consumer in writing, by letter or dedicated e-mail, no earlier than three months and no later than one month before the end of the period authorising the rejection of renewal, of the possibility of not renewing the contract he has concluded with a tacit renewal clause. This information, delivered in clear and comprehensible terms, shall mention, in an apparent box, the deadline for non-renewal.
Where this information has not been sent to the consumer in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph, the consumer may terminate the contract free of charge at any time from the renewal date.
Advances made after the last renewal date or, in the case of open-ended contracts, after the date of conversion of the initial fixed-term contract, shall in this case be reimbursed within thirty days of the termination date, less any sums corresponding, up to that date, to the performance of the contract.
The provisions of this article apply without prejudice to those which legally subject certain contracts to special rules with regard to consumer information.
As an exception to the first paragraph of this article, for contracts for the provision of television services within the meaning of article 2 of law no. 86-1067 of 30 September 1986 on freedom of communication and for contracts for the supply of on-demand audiovisual media services, the consumer may terminate the contract free of charge, at any time from the first renewal, if he changes domicile or his tax household changes.
