In Germany this is actually illegal. It's so illegal that it makes online business a bit more complicated. Because you can't change an online agreement unless the client agrees.
- mola 6y agoIt's sad that it's not taken for granted that you can't change and agreement unilaterally. This "online economy" muddied the water enough so that basic terms like "agreement" lost their meaning. If we don't push back against this, we're heading to a world where servitude is taken for granted.
- rjzzleep 6y agoIt's actually one of the things that constantly amazes me about other online businesses. I'm still struggling with the fact that google wants to move my contract out of germany since I haven't been back since covid started. It refers to a section in the user agreement to object to it that I have not found.
- waheoo 6y agoThe way it should be. They should really legislate against the validity of these term change at whim.
- mytailorisrich 6y agoThis is of course not specific to Germany, but the basis of contract law pretty much the world over.
- xiphias2 6y agoIt’s quite the opposite, online business in the EU is so much simpler, that I sign the contract and pay for the product online even if I go to the shop to take delivery of the product (and then have 14 days to return it). I guess ,,complicated’’ just depends on the viewpoint.
