The subscription you cannot leave

A twelve-month subscription, a six-month notice period, a price rise with no way out: three set-ups that the Union's official list has described in advance, point by point. An unfair term does not bind you, and you are not the one saying so.

Item no. 1

The renewal email

A yearly subscription to an online gym, taken out eleven months ago for twelve months, €29 a month. You were planning to let it lapse and not renew.

The email lands on a Tuesday: it has already been renewed.

Email from the subscriptions departmentSubject: renewal of your plan

Your subscription has been renewed for a further period of twelve months, at the current rate.

In accordance with clause 14.3 of our terms and conditions, any request not to renew had to reach us no later than six months before the expiry date. As that deadline has passed, your request cannot be taken into account.

Thank you for your loyalty.
