From 1 January 2026, the Customer’s Monthly Subscription Charges will be subject to an annual increase by the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) Rate plus an additional 3.9 % which is applied at the same time. If the CPI Rate is zero or negative, we’ll only apply the 3.9%.

CPI is a measure of inflation published by the Federal Statistics Office (see www.bfs.admin.ch). It measures the change in the cost of a sample of retail goods and services. The increased amount will first apply to Customer’s April 2026 bill. For example (CPI rates illustrative only):

Where the Customer’s airtime tariff is CHF 22.50 a month when their contract starts in September.

Year 1: On the Customer’s first April bill the Customer would see the Customer’s airtime tariff increase to CHF 23.94 a month (where the CPI Rate announced in February before the CPI Change was 2.5%, plus the 3.9%) i.e. CHF 22.50 x 1.064 = CHF 23.94; and

Year 2: On the Customer’s next April bill the Customer would see the Customer’s airtime tariff increase to CHF 24.87 a month (where the CPI Rate announced in February before the CPI Change was -1.5%, meaning we only applied the 3.9% increase), i.e. CHF23.94 x 1.039 = CHF 24.87.

The Customer must pay the Charges for the Services they have subscribed to and/or use every month by the date on their bill. Lycamobile may charge fees if the Customer is late in paying as described at clause 6.13. The Customer must pay us by direct debit or credit card.

Lycamobile may ask the Customer to pay a deposit before allowing use of the Services. The Allowance as specified in your Plan will cover items such as mainland calls, texts and data/Internet access in the United Kingdom, the EU and other selected destinations, except if the Customer is on a data-only (Mobile Broadband) tariff where data can only be used in Switzerland.

Special numbers and services (such as premium rate numbers and certain numbers starting 08 and 09) are not included. Please see our Tariff Terms and Website for more details about specific tariffs and Charges outside the Customer’s Allowances.

1. Changes to the Customer’s Monthly Plan Charges – Each year the Customer’s Monthly Plan will be subject to an annual change.

content

Aside from the annual change to the Monthly Subscription Charges referred to in paragraph 1 above, Lycamobile may change our other charges, the Services or the Services Agreement at any time.

The Customer will not be entitled to cancel their Services Agreement during the Minimum Period without paying an Early Termination Charge when Lycamobile are obliged by the law to make some changes, including passing-on cost increases.

The Customer will be entitled to cancel an Optional Add-on Service if we are making changes to it. The cancellation right will only apply to the Optional Add-On Service we are modifying.

2. Changes to other charges, the Services or this Services Agreement

content

If the Customer changes their mind about their purchase of the Services, they may be entitled to cancel the Services Agreement within fourteen (14) days as per clause 4.1 of the Terms. The Customer agrees that Services and charging for them will begin immediately from the date of their acceptance of the Services Agreement for their Monthly Plan, as represented by the Customer accepting the terms at the checkout.

The Customer will still have to pay for any calls, texts, data and other Charges (including those for the Monthly Plan) the Customer has incurred during the Cooling-Off Period as defined in clause 4.1.

The Customer’s Minimum Period and ending the Customer’s Services Agreement

The Customer’s Monthly Plan has a minimum term called a Minimum Period, which could be as short as one calendar month from the date of purchase by the Customer. After the Minimum Period, the Customer can end the Services Agreement by giving Lycamobile Notice (unless any other statutory or regulatory rules apply) and the Customer will have to pay Charges incurred during this Notice period.

Unless specified otherwise (such as in the Customer’s Tariff Terms), if the Customer wants to end the Services Agreement during the Minimum Period or we end the Services Agreement as a result of the Customer’s serious breach, then the Customer will have to pay an Early Termination Charge which amounts to no more than the Customer’s Monthly Plan Charges multiplied by the number of months left in the Customer’s Minimum Period, including VAT (calculated at the prevailing rate), explained below.

How we calculate Early Termination Charges

We add together Monthly Plan Charges the Customer has agreed to pay (including any monthly recurring discounts the Customer is entitled to but not including one-off discounts received) for the Services for the remainder of the Customer’s Minimum Period. This includes VAT at the prevailing rate.

Examples of Early Termination Charges:

Example 1: The Customer has a 12-month Monthly Plan costing CHF 21 a month (including VAT) and decides to disconnect after six months. This means the Customer will pay an Early Termination Charge for the last six months of the contract.

The Customer’s Early Termination Charge is calculated as 6 x CHF 21, which gives an Early Termination Charge of CHF 126.00.

Example 2: The Customer has a 12-month contract costing CHF 20 a month (including VAT) and decides to disconnect after nine months. This means the Customer will pay an Early Termination Charge for the last three months of the contract.

The Customer also has a CHF 5 recurring monthly discount applied to the Charges which means the Customer pays CHF 15 a month (including VAT).

The Customer’s Early Termination Charge is calculated as 3 x CHF 20, minus 3 x CHF 5. This gives an Early Termination Charge of CHF 45.00.
