"For contracts for the provision of services concluded for a fixed term with a tacit renewal clause, the professional providing the services shall inform the consumer in writing, by dedicated letter or e-mail, at the earliest three months and at the latest one month before the end of the period authorizing the rejection of the renewal, of the possibility of not renewing the contract he/she has concluded with a tacit renewal clause. This information, delivered in clear and understandable terms, shall mention, in a visible box, the deadline for non-renewal.
When this information has not been sent to him/her in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph, the consumer may terminate the contract free of charge at any time after the renewal date.
Advances made after the last renewal date or, in the case of open-ended contracts, after the date of conversion of the initial fixed-term contract, shall in this case be reimbursed within thirty days of the date of termination, after deduction of the sums corresponding, up to that date, to the performance of the contract. The provisions of this article apply without prejudice to those which by law subject certain contracts to special rules as regards consumer information."
