BGH ruling on memberships

4 Ratings

BHG BHG | Can you terminate your gym contract without notice if you move house? No. This was the decision of the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe on May 4, 2016.

The background: A soldier had to relocate for work reasons and terminated his contract with a fitness club ten months before it expired. "A "mere change of residence" did not justify this - in contrast to serious illness and pregnancy. In view of the almost ten million fitness contracts in Germany, the navy soldier and his lawyer wanted this question to be clarified in principle," the FAZ reports.
