Electronic communications service providers shall compensate consumers in the following cases and in accordance with the following rules:
1° In the event of a delay in porting the number, the compensation offered to the consumer may not be less, per day of delay, than one-fifth of the monthly price, inclusive of all taxes, of the subscription to the service taken out by the consumer. The number of days of delay is calculated until the electronic communications service is restored by the new provider. The compensation is payable by the supplier responsible for the delay in porting the number;
2° In the event of loss of the number for which portability was requested, the compensation offered to the consumer may not be less than twenty-four times the monthly price, inclusive of all taxes, of the subscription to the service taken out by the consumer with the provider responsible for the loss of portability. The compensation is payable by the provider responsible for the loss of the number;
3° In the event of failure to attend a service and installation appointment linked to a porting procedure or a change of supplier, the compensation offered to the consumer may not be less, per day of delay, than one-fifth of the monthly price, inclusive of all taxes, of the subscription to the service taken out by the consumer. The number of days’ delay is calculated until the consumer is actually present for a new appointment or, where applicable, until the appointment is cancelled by the consumer.
For prepaid offers, the compensation offered to the consumer may not be less than one-fifth of the monthly price, inclusive of all taxes, of the subscription to the service taken out by the consumer.
For prepaid offers, the monthly price including all taxes is calculated on a pro rata basis of the remaining credit validity, reduced to thirty days.
Compensation is paid to the consumer within thirty days of his request. The consumer may make this claim by any means allowing contact with the supplier. The compensation received by the consumer does not extinguish his ability to avail himself of other means of redress.
