The provider did not make clear in its advertising that the alarm system is only lent under an open-ended security subscription, obstructed cancellations through continued invoicing and delayed removal, started providing the service during the withdrawal period without an express request and stated the competent court unclearly. The AGCM imposed fines of 1,200,000, 2,500,000, 500,000 and 50,000 EUR, a total of 4,250,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Rental models must be clearly identifiable as subscriptions in advertising, and a cancellation must be implemented promptly without further billing.

Relevance to training and awareness

Transparent subscription models and smooth cancellation
