===Refunds for Italian consumers due to unjustified price hikes (2026)=== | |||
On April 1st, 2026, a court in Rome, Italy, stated that Netflix's price hikes from 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2024 were unlawful and not justified with valid reasons. The lawsuit was brought by a consumer-advocate movement named ''Movimento Consumatori'', claiming the price modifications were violating the [[Consumer Code]], an Italian legislation aimed to protect Italian consumer rights. | |||
The Rome court mandated Netflix to inform in the next 90 days to inform their Italian consumers about the right of get a refund. | |||
Consumers subscribed to the premium tier have the right to get a refund of approximately 500 euros, and standard tier subscribed have the right to get a refund of approximately 250 euros. Basic tier subscribers also have the right to get a refund. | |||
Along with this, Netflix was also mandated to modify their subscription prices in Italy, with the premium tier modified from €19.99 to €11.99 and the standard tier from €13.99 to €9.99. | |||
A Netflix spokeperson appealed, claiming they "take consumer rights very seriously" and they believe their terms and conditions "have always been in line with Italian law and practice".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harding |first=Scharon |date=3 Apr 2026 |title=Netflix must refund customers for years of price hikes, Italian court rules |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/04/netflix-ordered-to-refund-subscribers-up-to-e500-for-unlawful-price-hikes/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260403174600/https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/04/netflix-ordered-to-refund-subscribers-up-to-e500-for-unlawful-price-hikes/ |archive-date=2026-04-03 |access-date=7 Apr 2026 |website=Ars Technica}}</ref> | |||
