Omnilex headnote

BGB arts. 145, 133, 157 and 138; recognition of an offer to contract for paid entry in a business directory. The decisive question is whether the communication, construed objectively in light of its wording and the circumstances recognizable to its recipient, manifests an intention to be legally bound for payment. Contractual declarations are interpreted according to the understanding a reasonable recipient could derive from them; the recipient's individual, unexpressed understanding is not controlling. The supplied decision text contains only the headnote and dispositive provisions, and does not set out further principles or their application.
