    Supplementary contract interpretation is no substitute for a non-transparent fee clause.

  • Sachverhalt

    The defendant (consumer) concluded a dating agency agreement with the plaintiff’s dating agency on 30 October 2012. The plaintiff was obliged to send the defendant partner proposals once a month for the duration of the two-year contract period in return for monthly instalment payment. In a letter dated November 8, 2012, the consumer notified the agency of his intention to terminate the contract and did not pay any of the contractually agreed upon instalment payments. The plaintiff demanded payment of the total amount of Euro 6,000.00 including interest in a demand letter. Between 31 October 2012 and 22 January 2013, the plaintiff had submitted a total of nine partner proposals to the defendant.
