This is designed to help people avoid being caught out by surprise price rises, at a time when household budgets are under heavy strain. The new rule also requires firms to set out the terms and conditions if a customer decides to end their contract early. Customers with disabilities can also request to receive the documents in an accessible format.<br/> <br/> </p> <p>Some providers offer deals that include a price rise linked to inflation that takes effect during the contract. From today, when customers take out a new contract, firms that use this calculation are required to provide a straightforward price example to a customer of how this is likely to affect the price they will pay.<br/> <br/> </p> <div class="e-mrg-y-2 e-font-size-s"><span class="e-break-word">Source: <em>New rules on short and simple contract details</em>.<span> </span>Ofcom.<span> </span><a href="https://www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2022/new-rules-on-short-and-simple-contract-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" target="_blank">https://www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2022/new-rules-on-short-and-simple-contract-details</a>.<span> </span>Published:<span> </span>17.6.2022.<span> </span>Accessed:<span> </span>23.6.2022.<span> </span>Adaptation:<span> </span><span lang="fi-FI">YTL</span>.</span></div> 2026-02-22T22:08:54+02:00
