My child secretly completed a Netflix subscription, and I'm getting bills now. Do I have to pay or is the contract of my 13 year old child invalid?
You can cancel that every month, right?
Call Netflix and fix that.
It can also be terminated on a monthly basis.
But do not you need a PayPal / bank account to complete a Netflix account?
How does your child get your PayPal or credit card information?
Netflix can be terminated monthly, pay your lesson and learn from it. And talk to the child about breach of trust, etc. Maybe you can repeat the money on his pocket money.
Up to 7 years, all legal transactions are void (ineffective) because the children are unable to work.
Your child falls into the limited ability to work (7-18 years). The children need, in order to be able to conclude effective legal transactions, an effective declaration of intent by the legal guardian. If there's a consent, the declaration of intent is effective and thus the transaction is effective. If there's no consent of the legal guardians, the legal transaction is ineffective until the legal guardians have consented (this would be the case with you: you do not have to pay if you do not agree and have not submitted a declaration of intention for it)
Declaration of intent is a personal statement that brings with it legal consequences. Forms of will: oral, written, coherent action
Legal transactions are the legal consequences that result from declarations of intent
What kind of bill is Netflix sending?
Netflix you have to pay in advance, otherwise there's no unlocked account.
Also, your child can't complete Netflixabo without having all the data about a valid bank account.
Nice joke, but a bit rash.
