4. SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR EU CUSTOMERS

5. Termination; Cessation of the service

5.1 Termination

When discussing termination, a strict distinction must be drawn between the free contractual relationship that comes into existence upon registration and the paid contractual relationship that comes into existence upon purchase of a paid service.

You are entitled to terminate the free contractual relationship with us at any time without stating your grounds for doing so.

We are entitled to terminate the existing free contractual relationship with you following a 14-day notice period. The right to terminate for good cause or to block you remains unaffected by this.

The paid contractual relationship must be terminated at least 14 calendar days before the respective duration of the contract expires or, if another period was specified upon purchase of the paid access, within the specified period. The termination of the paid contractual services is only effective if it takes place by means of an explicit, written declaration. To aid clear assignment and to protect against misuse, you must always specify your registration details as an absolute necessity.

Note: A paid contractual agreement cannot be terminated simply by deleting the profile. If you have purchased a paid service and delete your profile, the paid contractual relationship shall remain unaffected by this. If a service has been paid for but not used and you delete your profile, you are merely refusing to use the service. This means that you will receive no refund for the payment already made. As described above, the written form is always an absolute necessity for the termination of a paid contractual relationship.

Please send the written termination via letter, fax or email to:

You also have the right to set us a grace period of five working days for proper performance. If the cause of the complaint is not resolved by the end of this grace period, you have the right to terminate the contract.

9.2 Where a transaction is validly disputed by you, the credit or payment to us for such transaction may be reversed (a “Chargeback”) should your claim be deemed justified. A chargeback is initiated with and decided by the relevant card issuer or credit institution after due verification has been done, which you undertake to comply with. A list of some common reasons for chargebacks includes

• unauthorised or improperly authorised transactions
• you do not recognise the charge
• you were charged twice or
• transactions which have not been incurred or processed in accordance to these terms and conditions or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious
• complaints made by yourself to the credit or financial institution with which you have a contractual relationship with.

9.3 In case of a chargeback or reversal approval, we will refund you the full amount of the applicable subscription fee being disputed and which have been deemed to warrant a chargeback.
