vincolo di permanenza

English translation: commitment

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / mobile phone contract
Italian term or phrase: vincolo di permanenza
context:

durata contrattuale di 12 rinnovi da 4 settimane, senza vincoli di permanenza.
È disponibile anche il piano XXX, che non prevede vincoli di permanenza
Vincoli e corrispettivi di recesso anticipato: vincolo di permanenza 24 rinnovi per l’offerta di rete fissa

It could be just a minimum required contract duration, but that makes the first sentence a bit clumsy.
Whatever it is, you are in some way bound to a certain period and if you give up the service before the 24 renewals you have to pay a penalty.

Any suggestions?

Are you sure there s no way you can cancel the contract mid-way? Some contracts will let you get out if you warn them a month or two in advance.

Asker: Thanks. That's what I was using, only there are certain points in the text that refer to "durata contrattuale", this is something else.
