Why have I been charged an early termination fee?
Short answer
Early termination fees apply if a service is cancelled before the end of the agreed contract term. The fee covers the remaining contractual commitment as outlined in your agreement.
When early termination fees apply
An early termination fee may be charged if:
-
The service is cancelled before the contract end date
-
The contract includes a minimum term
-
Cancellation occurs outside of any agreed break clauses
These fees are part of the original contract terms.
How the fee is calculated
Early termination fees are typically based on:
-
The remaining time left on the contract
-
The monthly service charges still due
-
Any applicable discounts or adjustments
We can review your contract and explain the calculation in detail.
When you won’t be charged
You may not be charged an early termination fee if:
-
The contract term has already ended
-
You are cancelling within agreed contractual conditions
-
A specific waiver has been applied
This depends on your individual agreement.
