In cases where the complaint is judged to be wholly or partially justified, the settlement of the complaint shall consist in the free rectification of the service defect or, where possible, the provision of a replacement service. Depending on the extent and duration of the defect, the customer is entitled to a reasonable price reduction. This is without prejudice to the customer’s right to request withdrawal from the contract in / statutory cases.
