Liability and Compliance Issues in the Execution of Telecommunications Service Agreements

Abstract

This article examines the legal nature of liability and regulatory compliance in the execution of telecommunications service agreements within the framework of civil and commercial law. The study analyzes the contractual obligations of telecommunications operators and subscribers, focusing on the principles of proper performance, good faith, proportionality, and consumer protection. Particular attention is paid to issues of breach of contract, improper service delivery, interruption of services, data protection violations, and non-compliance with licensing and regulatory requirements. The paper explores the correlation between contractual liability and public-law sanctions imposed by regulatory authorities, highlighting the dual nature of responsibility in the telecommunications sector. It also evaluates legal remedies available to parties, including damages, penalties, termination, specific performance, and dispute resolution mechanisms such as arbitration and judicial proceedings. Comparative legal approaches and doctrinal interpretations are used to identify existing gaps in legislation and enforcement practice. The author proposes recommendations aimed at strengthening compliance mechanisms, improving contractual drafting standards, and ensuring a balanced protection of operator and consumer rights in the rapidly evolving digital environment.
