I asked a practical question.
A few months ago I signed up for a course and spoke to a representative of that course. I don’t know if I’m sure it’s right for me and I want to try it, and she told me that I could try it. After a period of trial, she called and asked if I was satisfied and I said yes, and I made a standing order for 12 months. However, after a few months I no longer wanted to continue. I told her that I didn’t want to continue, so I wanted to cancel the standing order and I claimed that I hadn’t signed any commitment to be there all year. At first I thought it was right for me, but then it wasn’t. [Unlike the other students who signed me, they didn’t sign because I arrived late to the course and she saw that I was satisfied, so she didn’t want to pressure me, and after I said yes, she didn’t mention anything.] And of course she claims that since there is a standing order, it’s a commitment and you’re a robber.
thanks
This is a question for jurists. The law will follow the law here, since it is known that the contract was concluded. It really seems to me that a permanent order is an obligation.
I know your opinion on the matter of a court, but I'm asking specifically according to Torah law. What does the rabbi write that he thinks is an explanation? What is he relying on from a halachic perspective?
I rely on the meaning of such an agreement in our places. There is no difference between the halakhic question and the legal one, and therefore the sources have no meaning. Each source speaks in light of the circumstances it knows.
Why don't you address the fact that she didn't bother to inform me about the commitment and why don't you address the fact that she saw that I was hesitant and therefore it was convenient for her not to tell me anything? [I really didn't know about any commitment].
I don't think she should have let you know if I'm right that this is the default. On the contrary, you should have let her know that you were just trying it out and she should have said if they agreed.
I said it was an experiment and she agreed and after a while she asked me if I was satisfied and I said yes and she didn't tell me anything so it was obvious to me that I could regret it?
On the contrary, there was a trial and it ended. You said you were satisfied, so it was clear to her (and to you) that now the trial was over and a permanent contract was starting.
For some reason the Rabbi states that it was clear to me while I am telling you that it was not clear to me at all? And that is why I asked?
