Do I still have to pay Netflix fees?

My little brother "accidentally" 🙄 created a Netflix membership. What if you haven't used the account at all and you cancel your membership on the same day? Do I still have to pay the costs?

Ar

No.

Netflix has a trial period during which you can cancel the service free of charge.

PS: You shouldn't write things like "accidentally" on a service if you have to specify a credit card or another payment option. Nothing was accidentally…

Pl

You still have to pay for it, as you have no right of withdrawal with such services.

Co

Don't you have a month there for free?

Pl

Apparently, this trial month no longer exists in Germany

sh

No, the trial month no longer exists. You already know I wrote "accidentally" in quotation marks, right?

Your little brother is legally not in a position to conclude such a contract and can't do it at your expense. Therefore you can dispute the validity of the subscription. If you can't be accused of gross negligence (for example if you had given your brother your credit card details), you are legally on the right side.

However: being right and being right are two different things. If I were you, I would contact Netflix immediately. The longer you wait before you get in touch, the more likely you can be blamed.

Ar

Yes I know. It's just useless to do that.

You will still have to pay this month. Then you're out. Is still possible. You're lucky that they don't have a long notice period.

Interestingly enough, at Disney +.

No bro.

If you do something like that "accidentally", you should inform yourself beforehand.

sh

Yes luckily haha

Co

Yes, then just enjoy it you will not pay for free.

Since there has been no free trial month at Netflix for a few days, a paid contract is concluded immediately.

Since you have to enter account details, you can't "accidentally" take out such a subscription.

If your brother is of course not yet 18, then such a subscription is legally invalid because a non-adult is not allowed to enter into subscription contracts. To do this, however, he must have closed it in his own name.

Otherwise you have to pay the month and book it as "apprenticeship".

Don't argue with me

Ro

Then don't ask stupid questions. XD

Ta

This free trial month was canceled a few days ago without replacement.

sh

Bro then don't answer at all?

Ro

But it's fun.

You metalhead
