Fairphone Easy is a lease service, currently available to customers in the Netherlands. At the moment we are still in the pilot phase. This service is, unfortunately, not available in other countries until further notice.

Fairphone Easy is ideal for customers who love using a smartphone, but would like to have the maintenance and hardware repairs taken off of their hands. FairphoneEasy offers a swap service in case you encounter any hardware problem with the device.

What is included:

• Our latest Fairphone 4 5G (256GB, 8GB RAM) in Green
• Two accessories to help your device last longer:
  • A Fairphone 4 Protective Soft Case in Grey, Green or Pastel red
  • A Fairphone 4 Screen Protector with Blue Light Filter
• Service: including device swapping, repair and maintenance.

Note that it is not possible to lease another type of Fairphone at themoment.

Optional: You can opt-in for a USB-C cable, a Dual port charger and even our TWS Earbuds, for an extra cost in case you need any of these.

How do I subscribe to this service? Go here!

Fairphone Easy offers four different plans with the following prices (all including VAT):

• A minimum of 3 months for 34 EUR per month.
• A minimum of 12 months for 29 EUR per month.
• A minimum of 36 months for 24 EUR per month.
• A minimum of 60 months for 21 EUR per month.

Regardless of the plan you choose, a one-time deposit payment of 90 EUR is required. This is a downpayment for your subscription. The deposit will be refunded to you at the end of your subscription, once the device is returned to us and all outstanding payment is settled.

All plans come with a minimum commitment period, which is equal to the duration of your chosen subscription plan. If you choose a 12-month subscription plan, this time will be the minimum commitment period of your subscription. After receiving your device, you have 14 days to cancel or change your subscription without penalties. This is what we call the cool-off period. Once this period has passed, you will not be able to change or cancel your subscription for free anymore.

After the minimum subscription period ends, your plan will be automatically continued. At that point you can choose to continue your subscription, change or cancel with a 30 day notice period. If you do not wish to prolong your plan, you have to cancel a minimum of 30 days before the subscription period ends.

Yes, you can. We offer you to cancel your subscription free of charge within14 days from the day you subscribed. If you make use of this 14-day cool-off period, you must return the device as soon as possible. To request a cool-off return, contact our Customer Support.

The Customer Support will provide you with the necessary details and shipping labels for the return. The device must be returned in the original condition and packaging in accordance with the instructions received from our Customer Support, together with accompanying the protective soft case and the screen protector. In case you purchased additional accessories and wish to return them, inform our Customer Support so that they can help you further.

If you want to cancel your subscription after the 14-day cool-off period but before the end of the minimum commitment period , you can do so by contacting our Customer Support or via the self service portal. Bear in mind that you will still need to pay the outstanding monthly fees that would have applied until the end of your minimum subscription term.

For now, Fairphone Easy is available only to individual customers registered in the Netherlands.

No, Fairphone Easy is currently only available directly through Fairphone in the Netherlands. To subscribe simply go to the dedicated page on our web shop.

We want to encourage all our Fairphone Easy long-term subscribers to take good care of their Fairphone 4 device. This is why we offer a reward system with a simple basic principle - with each year you take care of your Fairphone, we thank you by reducing your monthly subscription costs.

The reward system works like this:

• If your device or its modules have not been swapped after your first full year of subscription, you qualify for a 2 EUR deduction on your monthly subscription rate in the coming year.
• After that, for each additional year that your device or its modules have not been swapped, you will get an additional 2 EUR deduction on your monthly subscription rate in the coming year.
• This will be automatically applied in the 1st month of the new year of your subscription.

Example:

You’ve become a Fairphone Easy subscriber and choose a subscription of a minimum of 36 months in July 2022. During your first year, you kept your Fairphone 4in good shape and did not have to swap your device nor its modules. That’s great!As of August 2023, your monthly subscription will be adjusted, and instead of the full price (24 EUR/per month) you will be paying just 22 EUR. For each subsequent year, you can earn an extra deduction of 2 EUR per year if you keep your Fairphone4 swap-free. This means that by the end of your subscription period in 2025, your monthly subscription costs could go down to 20 EUR during the 3rd year of your subscription.

Keep in mind that you will be eligible to participate in the rewards system regardless of your chosen length of subscription. However, you will only be able to profit from these benefits if you keep your subscription for a year or longer.

To be eligible for the reward, aside from swapping your device, you also should not swap the modules by yourself. In case you have any hardware issues, you need to contact our Customer Support. This is because you are renting this Fairphone4. We cover this in our Fairphone Easy Terms and Conditions.

Yes. However, you need to make a separate request to our Customer Support. You can request up to 3 subscriptions. Note that for each additional subscription, you will also be charged an additional 90 EUR deposit.

Unfortunately not. Once your subscription ends, you need to send us back your phone, with the screen protector and protective soft case we gave you. We will make the most out of your returned Fairphone 4, by refurbishing or recycling its materials to build new devices in the future.

Your subscription will continue until you decide otherwise. You may change or stop your subscription at any time. Bear in mind that a 30 day notice period applies. When you decide to stop your subscription, you need to request a cancellation at least 30 days in advance. You can do so via the self-service portal. Any questions, you can contact our Customer Support.

In principle there will be no other charges, not even for repair, maintenance or swap services. This will only happen in exceptional cases. For more details, refer to our Fairphone Easy Terms and Conditions.

We will not charge shipping costs during the subscription. We will take care of shipping costs for the initial shipment of the phone, as well as the potential swaps and returns.

No, you will not receive a SIM card with the phone. You can use your currentSIM card or get a SIM card with the network operator of your preference. If your current  SIM card is older than 2 years, we recommend treating yourself to a new one for your Fairphone 4 to work at its best.

We believe it is important that the agreement between you and Fairphone is responsible for both parties.

We perform automated credit checks with Focum. We do this to limit payment problems and potential fraud/stolen devices.

We will inform you about all the necessary steps during the subscription process.

This is not the same as a BKR registration. With us, you rent a smartphone and nothing is registered in your name.

For more information on how these services work, check the website of Focum.

For more information, or if you have questions about this process, contact Focum or your bank.

In any case, your payment will be refunded within 7 working days to the same bank account you used to pay.

In case you encounter software issues, use our Troubleshooting tool (available to guide you 24/7). Or contact with our Customer Support.

They will be able to either solve the problem with you, or provide you with clear information on when a known issue is going to be solved.
