Telephone communication contracts

  • The operator is required to provide you with the agreed conditions in a medium able to be stored.
  • You are only bound after you give a written agreement, save where the telephone contact was made on your initiative.
  • You are free to withdraw from the contract without being penalised during the first 14 days, except where you request that the provision of the service starts before this period expires. In case you do, you may still withdraw from the contract, but there will be costs attached.
  • In case you wish to withdraw from the contract, do it in writing and hold on to the means of proof.
