A Taiwanese man who offered to buy one meal ended up with a NT$82,000 delivery bill, and the court has ruled the money must be paid back — a win for him and a warning to anyone who hands over card details.

• A man in Taoyuan met a woman through a dating app and gave her his credit card details to order one delivery meal while she was viewing his rental property.
• She saved the card to the delivery app, and she and her two daughters kept ordering for over two months, running up about NT$82,000.
• She argued he had told her to "order whatever you want," but could not show he ever agreed to anything beyond that first meal.
• The Taoyuan court treated the extra charges as unjust enrichment and put the burden on her to prove permission, ordering the three of them to repay everything except the first day's food and drink.

Outlook: The ruling can still be appealed, but it sets a clear line — one-time permission to use a card does not carry over to later purchases.
