News from the world of subscriptions

In a completely different sphere, current developments in the area of ​​consumer protection cause excitement. A provider of an Internet learning platform in Austria recently presented a 30-day free test phase for its subscriptions. The highlight here: During this test phase, the subscription can be terminated without notice at any time. After the deadline, however, the subscription becomes a fee, unless the user canceled in good time. Information on this can be found at Smartlaw .

Austrian consumer advocates have pointed out that the right of withdrawal also applies to conversion into a paid subscription. A recent judgment of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) of October 5, 2023, file number C-565/22, confirms that this right of withdrawal generally only applies once at a subscription with a free trial period. The crucial question, however, is whether consumers have been sufficiently informed that the subscription becomes a fee after the test phase. In such cases, a new right of withdrawal could be granted.

The discussion about this topic shows that consumer rights in the digital world are subject to constant changes and regulations often have to be communicated more clearly. The information and transparency for users is essential to prevent nasty surprises after the test phase.
