Consent to telephone and email advertisement

A consumer’s declaration of consent to telephone and e-mail advertising for the purpose of free participation in a competition is void, if this consent concerns a large number of companies. Furthermore, the business sectors of at least some of these advertising companies have to be formulated so precisely that it is clear, for which products and services the consumer will receive the advertisements.
