I'm not allowed to have a computer. Why?

Th

I'm 14 and need a laptop for the school urgently. I found a good one on eBay Classifieds. When I drove there with my mother, she said that I should not buy it, because a computer is the worst thing in the world, they explode very often and that's just rubbish too.

If that's really the case, eBay's seller is always writing where we stay. My mother said I should ignore that, I also blocked it and then deleted the app.

What should I do now, I have to do many texts in the school with Microsoft Word. If I do not do that, I get a 6.

How does your mother think that they will simply explode? In addition, only devices with batteries can explode. And with many laptops you can take out batteries, then the danger is also banned if that is your mother's only concern.

Talk to your mother in peace about where her real concerns are.

As for the seller: Be fair and tell me it will not work!

The teacher can't enter you 6. Explain the problem to the teacher. Possibly. Are you going to the trusted teacher?

I would say there you should get your teachers into conversation that you have no computer access due to your parents and can't complete the tasks.

And if your parents do not want to buy you a PC then you will probably have to ask them to give you some money, for example. To be able to use a lending computer in the library cost me 10 euro per hour… That went into the money.

Th

I would pay the PC / laptop but also myself.

If you have the money and you are sure that you need one, then I would go "rebellious" and go buy it myself, secretly, listen to me in hindsight, a good song and good.

That would be bad for the seller. He may sell nothing to a 14-year-old without the consent of a parent or guardian. And with the mother, sorry Patrick, that would be too risky for me…

Of course he is allowed to sell! And if it is saved pocket money, then it is for free use and the mother can't retroactively prohibit the sale or reverse!

So since I'm Austrian, I have a quick look at how the case looks like Austrian right.

He can make the purchase, however, the seller must reverse the sale in so far as the permission of the parents is not given and this is required, the sale is nevertheless not excluded.

If you really need a laptop for school, your homeroom teacher will certainly be willing to tell your mother (verbally or in writing).

In D are young people between 7 and 14 years not capable of business and the §110 does not affect a notebook! Take a look at the law!

What should children not buy?
The pocket money paragraph according to § 110 BGB provides in the normal case that children and young people up to 17 years, not just buy a TV, this exceeds by far a normal pocket money. You can't just buy such an expensive smartphone, tablet, MP3 player or other. For large purchases, the seller must basically always insist on the consent of the parents in order to avoid a conversion or even a later legal dispute.

In addition, the pocket money paragraph is only valid if it is a cash purchase. Under no circumstances may a minors purchase an installment! Thus, there's no danger of a child or a teenager simply signing a mobile phone contract. German law hereby stipulates that children can never fall into a debt trap.

1. Is this a council that has no legal force in its full form?

2. From the age of 7 you have limited legal capacity and can easily conclude contracts in a limited scope

3. It is a good advice to seek approval because there's a risk that it will not be saved pocket money (for example, gift test money where the parents did not consent to free use).

4. Does it seem to be a cheap device brought here

5. It would pay cash

6. Apart from the Youth Protection Act, there's no law on goods for young people - a PC is not forbidden, even a car would be permissible, even though it is unlikely that a young person will have so much free at leisure… - apart from the fact that he is can't even use

mo

Even if the parent has not banned the purchase but what you have to see here!

Exception: the pocket money paragraph
An exception to the rule means § 110 BGB, "effecting the performance by own means" - the so-called pocket money paragraph. Of the usually small sums that children get weekly or monthly as pocket money at leisure, they can buy whatever they want, whether https://www.advocard.de/streitlotse/internet-und-konsum/verkaufstricks-der-online-haendler-lassen-sie-sich-nicht-draengen/ or in-store. They may also save their pocket money for a larger purchase - but they must not be in debt. If, in addition, the parents expressly forbid them to purchase certain goods, they must comply with it.

Mama says NO - so then the NO is also binding…

Do not you think he should not go to school?

Because here it is so, that he may not have a private laptop.
