The Problem

Miguel signed up for a gym membership advertised at €29/month. After 6 months, he discovered €180 in hidden fees: "administration fee," "card replacement," and "maintenance contribution" that were buried in fine print.

Miguel explained the situation. Our AI identified this as a case of unfair contract terms and hidden fees.

Were these additional fees clearly explained before you signed the contract?
Not at all. They just showed me the €29/month price and rushed me through signing.
This may constitute an unfair commercial practice. Under DL 446/85, contract terms that were not properly communicated can be void. Hidden fees that significantly increase the cost are particularly problematic.
