Extracted by Omnilex
The plaintiff sued the defendant over the blocking of the plaintiff's registered account on the “l.de” forum. The Kerpen Local Court ordered the defendant to fully reactivate the account and restore all associated rights, expressly including the ability to send and receive private messages. It also awarded EUR 179.27 in extrajudicial costs, with interest from 21 September 2016, and ordered the defendant to bear the litigation costs. The headnote states that the ordinary termination period for an internet forum use contract is six months, applying § 624 sentence 2 BGB by analogy.
BGB § 624 sentence 2; ordinary termination of an internet forum use contract: The ordinary notice period for terminating an internet forum use contract is six months by analogous application of § 624 sentence 2 BGB. The rule concerns ordinary termination and does not itself determine the requirements for extraordinary termination under § 314 BGB. Contractual duties of consideration under § 241 paragraph 2 BGB may also be relevant to the parties’ relationship.
