Vodafone has worked to fully align the contract terms with the requirements of the Consumer Protection Regulation.
The specific changes depend on when you signed your contract, as the adaptation process has been ongoing over time, and therefore the contract has been updated at different stages. We invite you to read the full contract; however, in any case, the changes resulting from the regulation are aimed at ensuring transparency and consumer protection.
Additionally, Article 5 has been updated to reflect the impact of inflation on electronic communication services. Considering the effect of inflation on the prices of all basic goods and services (electricity, fuel, etc.), and to enhance transparency in the customer relationship, the terms and conditions in Article 5 now specify how inflation will influence the prices of electronic communication services in the coming years.
For this reason, we invite you to read the provisions of Article 5 of the contract and the FAQs below, prepared to provide further information for consumers.
