Federal Court of Justice: BGH judgment on Amazon Prime: What about the prices now?
More than 20 euros per year: For Amazon customers, the legal dispute means cold hard cash. What consequences the Karlsruhe decision has and what users of other streaming providers should also know.
Amazon has lost a lawsuit at Germany's Federal Court of Justice over price increases for its Prime subscription service. The court ruled that Amazon's price adjustment clauses were invalid due to a lack of transparency, and that customers who had been subscribed to Prime before September 15, 2022, will have their old prices reinstated.
Affected customers may be eligible for refunds, and a consumer protection agency has already filed a class-action lawsuit on their behalf. The verdict is expected to have implications for similar cases involving other companies, including Netflix, Apple TV, and Wow.
