نقلاً عن Einzelhandelsrabatte: Netto darf wohl weiter Extra-Rabatte in App anbieten

News Brief: The discount retailer Netto is expected to maintain its app-exclusive discounts despite a legal challenge from consumer advocates. A court ruling suggests the case lacks merit.

Netto, a discount supermarket chain, is likely to continue offering discounts exclusively through its app, following a court hearing in Bamberg. Rainer Sellnow, chairman of the 3rd Civil Senate, indicated that a lawsuit from the Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (VZBV) aimed at halting these promotions is unlikely to succeed. The case centers on a promotion advertising a ’15 percent off everything’ discount available only via the app, which critics argue discriminates against individuals unable to use such technology. However, the court noted that the app is accessible to anyone aged 14 and older, and it does not need to accommodate individual preferences or capabilities. A final decision is expected later today.
