I joined a gym in Gurgaon that has a one-month notice period for cancelling membership. In mid-February, due to health problems, I couldn’t go to the gym and decided to stop my membership. I emailed them on March 3rd to cancel, but the email bounced and they only received it on March 7th – a week late according to their policy. I’ve already paid for February and March, but they’re demanding I pay for April as well, which would be two months’ notice. I refused to pay for April, and now they’re saying they won’t cancel my membership and are harassing me.

Under Indian law, a gym cannot enforce a notice period that is unreasonable. The gym’s one-month notice period is likely valid, but they are unreasonable in demanding payment for April as you had already informed them in March. You are not obligated to pay for April and can pursue a legal remedy if they continue harassing you.

I bought an Intex Aqua Fish phone from eBay on August 20th. It arrived without an invoice, and unfortunately, it was faulty. I reported the issue on August 23rd, requesting a replacement and invoice. The invoice arrived on the 24th, but no replacement was offered. I took the phone to the service center, but even after two attempts and a PCB change, the defect wasn’t fixed. They refused to replace it, claiming it was a “default” issue. My written complaint went unanswered, and the service center manager was rude, refusing to acknowledge the phone’s problem. He even blamed me, saying I threatened to file an FIR and made unreasonable demands.

I booked a Maruti Swift VXI from Popular Automobiles in Chennai on October 20th, 2015. The car was delivered on January 7th, 2016, but the temporary registration papers weren’t given to me then. They were sent later by courier. During the permanent registration process, I found out the car was actually a 2015 model. This feels like dishonest business practices, as they hid this information from me. Can I take this matter to the Consumer Forum to seek compensation?

I booked a flat in Greater Noida back in March 2013, with a promised possession date 30 months later. But it looks like I’m still a long way off from moving in.

We’ve written a novel together, and we came up with the title “Love Therapy – Ordinary Yet Bizarre.” However, we found that “Love Therapy” is already registered (like this one: [link to website]). Our publisher hasn’t said anything about this yet. Do we need to change the title? Or can we still use it, even though it’s already registered? If we can use it, do we need to get copyright for the entire title, including the subtitle?

My family booked a flat in Bangalore back in 2013, when it was still under construction. The builder promised to finish it within a year, but it ended up taking over two years. The agreement stated we’d be compensated for the delay with rent payments, but now, they’re refusing to deduct anything. What legal options do I have against them? Should I consider going to the Consumer court first, or directly to the District court?
