Sport-Streamingdienst: DAZN-Sammelklage: Wie Sie jetzt noch mitmachen können
Die Verbraucherzentrale hat gegen Preiserhöhungen beim Streamingdienst DAZN geklagt. Jetzt beginnt die Verhandlung. Betroffene können sich kurzfristig noch ins Klageregister eintragen.
The Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (Consumer Federation of Germany) has launched a lawsuit against the streaming service DAZN at the Oberlandesgericht Hamm (case number: I-12 VKl 1/24) regarding price increases in 2021 and 2022. Consumer advocates argue that these price hikes are unlawful. Following the latest oral hearing, consumers have three weeks to join the lawsuit.
The Verbraucherzentrale expects a court hearing by September 25th. The issue at hand is DAZN's repeated price increases in ongoing contracts over the years 2021 and 2022. The federation believes that the contract clauses underlying these hikes have unduly disadvantaged consumers. The collective lawsuit aims to declare the price increases invalid and return the money to customers.
To join the lawsuit, those affected can register in the central register of claims at the Federal Office for Justice. Detailed instructions on how to do this are provided on the "Sammelklagen" website (www.sammelklagen.de/verfahren/dazn). The lawsuit is free to join, and if successful, the streaming service must compensate claimants automatically, without them having to return to court. The compensation amount would also include interest.
