Seemingly free or low-priced offers turn out to be suddenly easy for the user who reads the terms and conditions not to the very smallest or understood, surprisingly expensive than Subscriptions and let the cash register ringing the supplier because the users of test access not understand how to terminate or delete your account again.
Who then once in the case Flirt sits no longer comes out so fast and gets unexpected bills, reminders, threats of debt collection - the usual Drokulisse of the subscription traps known to be established.
battered consumers For example, writing on Network World:
"According to a friend that is also a huge rip-off according to their terms and conditions you can cancel the subscription, but is responsible in spite of all, a collection agency and you will be charges. . pay in multiple high The termination itself will not be accepted - any reason Anyway ... "
There is a WOT scorecard aside Flirt Cafe here with numerous negative entries
The Consumer Hamburg rip with dating portals looked like this and writes:
" In the case Flirt - flirtation with financial risk
flirting and looking for partners on the Internet - which is now as normal as getting to know the workplace or in the disco. But flirting and dating websites are often built and cleverly designed. Users are requested to checkout later - while they were going to just flirt for free.
accumulate at the Consumer Organizations the symptoms. Consumers wanted to use free trial subscription to Internet portals or redeem Flirt Flirt vouchers. Prompt then they stumble in long-term subscriptions. Withdrawal rights expire allegedly cancellations are not accepted.
case free registration :
Many pages is the declaration for free. The mere declaration but there is still no real benefit - you get to know anyone yet. To use the full offer, especially the active contacts with other participants or the reading of received messages must be completed but a subscription. Some flirt portals obtained immediately after the first free registration Communications that are in their own mailbox contact emails from other participants. Since the only free registration, use of the mailbox is not possible and therefore the contact mails can not be read, the temptation or danger is yet to register a charge very high.
case free trial
is often a free or very cheap test (eg € 1.99) available. But then usually follows an automatic (pay and expensive!) Contract extension. While it can be terminated after the trial period. But some providers simply deny to have received a termination notice. Sometimes the Fine print requires that only a written notice will be accepted. This is welcome - and represents a hurdle for anyone to see it or miss.
case personality analysis
Some partner agents to get under the fee-based membership forced a detailed personality analysis. The catch: If you cancel the contract, the consumer pays the personality analysis anyway. And the price is steep: 99 € to 120 €.
event reminder pressure
Whether binding contract or not: Anyone who has contact with a flirt or Partner search page was, it must expect showered with reminder and collection letters to be - regardless of their individual legal situation. Some people keep the pressure up and not paid, although you did not have to.
case refused termination
Whether contracts with partner agencies or stock exchanges on the Internet as a contract within the meaning of § 656 BGB (arranged marriage) should be valued depends on the specific contract. Are the rules is applicable, the asset by the portal operator is not enforceable. However, can already paid shall not be recovered.
the rules on marriage agency not apply, are at the dating service via Internet, in our opinion anyway connected to the Services of a higher order (§ 627 BGB), with the right to terminate at any time. Then you would not be bound by the agreed term. then you have to pay only the services that were provided at the time of termination.
This should do:
* Be not blinded by free or very cheap offers. In small print there is often hook. Call and cancel Always letter sent by registered mail / return receipt.
* If you withdraw effective, have resigned or been challenged and the services of the Agent no longer use, you should pay any more contributions. Revoke the direct debit authorization and get appropriate amounts debited back on your financial institution. There
* Be not intimidated by reminder and collection letters . "
