Check with your provider before you travel!
This week's section on Radio Renascença will air on 7, 8 and 9 June between 5 pm and 6 pm, in the 1st position of the block, as follows:
Are you locked into your contract with your communications provider?
If you are, you will need to maintain your contract with your provider for a fixed period. If you decide to cancel it early, you will have to pay a penalty.
Before contracting a service, check to see if you will be subject to a contract lock-in period. Before accepting a discount or promotion, changing you tariff or address, check to see if you will be subject to a new contract lock-in period; check for how long and what penalties you will have to pay if you decide to cancel the contract early.
The provider is responsible for demonstrating that a penalty is payable. If you cannot reach an agreement with your provider, refer your dispute to an arbitration centre.
