Orange Livebox

I referred a new customer over to Plus Net from Orange. Her Livebox was not working properly (the wireless was constantly disappearing) and so when she got her new BT router she threw the livebox away. Now Orange are asking for it back, saying it was being rented. If she doesn't return it, she'll have to pay £100+vat. Does anybody know if this is true, or at least where it is in their contract?

From their T's and C's:
"11.14 On termination of the Agreement for whatever reason, you agree to return the Equipment to us in the prepaid returns envelope provided. If you fail to return the Equipment complete and in good working order within 30 days of termination, we reserve the right to charge you a reasonable charge for the Equipment. The amount of such charge will depend on how long you have had the Equipment."

If this is to a royal mail "freepost" address, then there is no way that they can verify if the goods where put into the post, or not!

Say that you posted it.
