French term or phrase: ne doit pas

L’option « FF Internet PC 1H » (S660) doit avoir été précédemment souscrite par le client.

Ce geste commercial ne doit pas porter les fonctionnalités de l’option S660 avec un prix d’abonnement mensuel remisé mais ***bien venir modifier la manière dont est facturée l’option S660 en maintenant celle-ci sur le contrat du client***

C’est ainsi que le libellé restitué sur la facture semi-détaillée dans la rubrique « VOS FORFAITS ET VOS OPTIONS » est celui du geste commercial (libellé normal avec rajout de la mention « - tarif réduit » ou « - geste co ») avec le prix réduit ou ‘gratuit’ affiché dans la colonne prix.
Ce libellé et cette mention viennent donc en remplacement du libellé et du prix de l’option S660.

I'm having problems wording the part between *** so that it makes sense - any help much appreciated!

while keeping it in the contract

Explanation:
....but must modify the way the S660 option is billed, while keeping it (included) in the contract.

"Celle-ci" refers back to "l'option S660" - here translated simply as "it".

This... must not... but must...

Explanation:
Don't know if that's enough to help, but basically the 'bien' is just there to cancel out the earlier 'ne...pas' -- read it as "ne doit pas [faire A] mais doit bien [faire B]" --- think of it as 'but must indeed...', though of course, don't actually put that in!

Notes to answerer

Asker: I think I need a break! I meant to enter "en maintenant celle-ci sur le contrat" as the phrase that was giving me problems!
