Summary
OLG: Reference to pause does not distract from termination The Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf had dismissed the lawsuit in September 2025 with regard to the reference to pause. Whether a reference to alternatives such as a pause of the contract is still allowed on the confirmation page, wants to decide today (8.45 clock) the Federal Court of Justice (BGH). Who wants to cancel his gym contract online, should come as far as possible without distraction to the goal.
Furthermore, In the proceedings, the Federal Association of Consumer Centers (vzbv) had sued against the fitness chain FitX from Essen - according to its own information, the second largest fitness provider in Germany. A FitX spokeswoman stated before the hearing at the BGH in May, the contract break was not any advertising alternative, but in the terms and conditions of FitX clearly regulated. For members who do not want to terminate their contract, but only temporarily pause, this information is therefore factual information about an existing contract option. However, it is not excluded that ways to avoid dismissal could also be shown.
