Netflix may have to reimburse Italian subscription increases
ROME: US streaming giant Netflix may have to reimburse hundreds of millions of euros to its Italian customers after a court ruling, according to a judgement published Friday by a consumer association.
The Rome court said that Netflix contracts in force between 2017 and January 2024 stipulated that it did not need to justify each increase in subscription prices, when under Italian law it was required to.
Netflix will now have to inform its past and present customers, reinstate the original prices they signed up for, and reimburse them for the difference.
