The consumer may terminate the contract, free of charge, in the event of a significant, permanent or frequent discrepancy between the actual performance of an electronic communications service, other than an Internet access service, and the performance stated in the contract.
Where, pursuant to the previous paragraph, a consumer terminates a contract for a publicly available electronic communications service before the end of the contractual period, no compensation may be claimed.
Where the consumer chooses to keep subsidised terminal equipment included in the contract, the amount of compensation that may be requested from him in return shall not exceed either the pro rata temporis value agreed at the time of conclusion of the contract, or the amount due, excluding the terminal equipment subsidy, in respect of the unexpired part of the minimum period of performance of the contract. However, if the contract as concluded does not specify the value of this equipment, no compensation is due.
The supplier shall lift any conditions attached to the use of the terminal equipment on other networks free of charge at the latest when the compensation referred to in the previous paragraph is paid.
