(2) Immediately on termination of the Chargecard facility pursuant to paragraph (1) of this Article, all Chargecards issued to such Chargecard subscriber shall thereupon cease to be valid.

(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (2) of this Article, Chargecard calls made during a period of 28 days next following the date of termination in accordance with paragraph (1), shall continue to be charged to and payable by such subscriber at the standard rate charge per call together with the appropriate Chargecard call charge premium.

81F Bord Telecom Éireann shall be entitled to issue and charge for, in accordance with Article 81A, a further Chargecard to a Chargecard subscriber on the expiry in accordance with Article 81C of an existing Chargecard issued to such Chargecard subscriber unless the Chargecard subscriber should give 28 days prior notice to Bord Telecom Éireann of his intention not to renew such Chargecard issued to him.

81G (1) Neither a Chargecard subscriber nor a Chargecard bearer shall make or attempt to make a Chargecard call after a Chargecard has ceased to be valid.

(2) After a Chargecard has ceased to be valid the Chargecard subscriber shall take all practicable steps to:
