I see the threats of lawyers appearing in this community against O2. This usually happens for a number of reasons. Sometimes its used to circumnavigate the original contract because the customer dislikes the terms after a few months, They see other new offers and wants to change the contract terms at an early stage.
The other reasons I’ve seen is the language of the contract has not been fully understood,
Another reason is the customer has had a misunderstanding in the O2 shop.
The final reason is “ contract loop holes. “
I want to say something here which is of my own opinion not O2.
Germany has very strict contractual obligations bound in Law. The law in Germany is “water tight.”
In general their isn't much flexibility in German mobile contracts once the contact has been signed unless there are other technical reasons such as moving to a area with out cell towers or the death of the contract holder.
There is a right of withdrawing from an O2 contract provided the contract was completed on - line. This is known as the 14 day cooling off period. Please pay attention there are forms attached to your order confirmation. These include the AGB ( Terms and conditions ), Most important is the right to withdraw the contract in 14 days.
However when the contract has been signed in a O2 shop or its authorized dealers the contract can not be terminated. In the shop the customer can view the product, ask questions be fully informed of hardware along with the tariff prices. The contract is clearly explained to the customer. If the customer doesn't like the terms the customer can simply walk out of the shop. Customers are provided with a copy of all documents. O2 employers follows protocols put in place by their employer, O2 .
In law the lack of language knowledge is not a reason to terminate the contract, The contract legal terms applies in the German language, Lawyers can not help you if you did not understand the language of the contract.
Once you sign the contract its up to you to make sure you select the right tariff and hardware for your needs.
It’s very important to note new offers applies to a new contract or a contract extension they do not apply before the minimum contract term.
In German law there are no loopholes for mobile contracts. The conditions are very clearly stated and binding.
The normal protocol is make sure you fully understand the order process, all documents. If any doubt clarify before signing any contract. Feel free to ask questions first. Bring someone with you who can help in translation . If there is a dispute its always best to set out your dispute in writing in the event your not not happy with customer service. Phoning customer service or asking in this community should be the best option.
Aggression, anger and legal threats are counter productive .
