Italian court rules Netflix price-hike clauses are void, orders refunds
A Rome court has ruled as unlawful price increases imposed by Netflix on its Italian subscribers over the last seven years, and has ordered the U.S. media giant to reimburse them, a consumer association said on Friday.
Consumer group Movimento Consumatori said in a statement that the court had upheld its lawsuit against Netflix Italia and deemed unfair clauses that allowed subscription price increases from 2017 to January 2024.
Netflix said in a statement that it would appeal against the court’s decision. “We take consumer rights very seriously and believe our terms have always complied with Italian laws and practice,” it added.
