Theo Ogbidi breaks his silence: captain's armband and Cottbus in focus!

July 1, 2025 could be a turning point not only for Ogbidi himself, but also for Energie Cottbus.
News from the world of subscriptions
In a completely different sphere, current developments in the area of consumer protection are causing a stir. An internet learning platform provider in Austria recently introduced a 30-day free trial period for its subscriptions. The highlight here: During this test phase, the subscription can be canceled at any time without notice. However, after the deadline has expired, the subscription will be subject to a fee unless the user cancels in good time. Information about 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 ruling by 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 for a subscription with a free trial period. The crucial question, however, is whether consumers were sufficiently informed that the subscription would be subject to a charge after the trial period. In such cases, a new right of withdrawal could be granted.
The discussion on this topic shows that consumer rights in the digital world are subject to constant change and regulations often need to be communicated more clearly. Information and transparency for users is essential in order to prevent unpleasant surprises after the test phase has ended.
