Hello,
I made a mistake nearly two years ago, when I was 15, signing up for a 24 month server contract paying monthly, in advance. Although I don't remember it, I must have either lied or misunderstood/misread when signing up and I entered my age as an adult.
Although nothing is stated in the terms and conditions about age, it does say on the sign up form "I agree with [Terms and Conditions] and sign with my name that I have completed the registration form truthfully." I have kept to the contract, its terms since and have had no problem to date, I have paid on time, every time.
A few months ago, I came to the point where I no longer wanted to continue with the contract, but because of the stupid mistake I made I don't see many options and I am currently struggling to afford it. I am aware the contract can be made void by law as I am under 18 and therefore cannot enter a legal contract, but would I face consequences for lying about my age? As far as I know, I would not be guilty of theft through deception as I pay in advance.
Should I contact my provider and explain the story? I really regret this decision and am totally lost as of what to do.
