Court Ruling on App Discounts and New Protection for Temu

163

The Higher Regional Court Bamberg made an important ruling. The discounter Netto can offer discounts. These discounts are only in the app. Consumer protectors sued against this. They thought this was not fair for people without a smart phone. The court sees this differently. The app is open for everyone aged 14 and over. There is no discrimination.

The sales platform Temu must follow new rules in Austria. The Association for Consumer Information (VKI) won a lawsuit. Temu must now improve youth protection. This is true for selling weapons and erotic items. The platform must check the age of buyers better. Manipulative designs on the website are also forbidden now.

The Epic Games Store has a new gift for players. Until March 29, the game Wave Gods: Ammo Night is free. The game is a zombie shooter for up to 6 people. Normally the game costs about 12 Euros. Now users can add it to their collection forever. It was released only in February 2026.
