When choosing a sanction in such cases, we will take sufficient account of the gravity of the breach as well as to which extent you are liable for it. We will issue a warning to the user if this is less severe and appropriate in the individual case. If suspicions are confirmed that a user has failed to comply with clause five (5) or six (6), we may completely or partially suspend or delete the user's account. The user's account, however, shall only be deleted in case of a repeated breach of our ToS or in case he acts with the intent to cause damage or with the intent of unjust enrichment. If the user has been suspended or his/her account has been deleted, not only the user name, e-mail address or the respective user account are subject to this suspension, but the suspension does also apply to the respective user as an individual. (3) In accordance with statutory requirements under German law we shall be entitled to terminate the agreement with the user with immediate effect if the respective statutory requirements are met. Any other claims remain unaffected.

  1. Availability of Beebs (1) The free use of Beebs is offered under the premise of availability. We strive to ensure that our free services are provided without any malfunction. However, maintenance, development or other disturbances may restrict or temporarily interrupt the availability.

In case our free services are affected by such disturbances, you shall not have any claims for compensation against us.

(3) With respect to other damages our liability regarding the violation of an essential contractual duty (hereinafter referred to as "main duty" - Kardinalspflicht) is limited to those damages predictable as typical when performing the contractual services.

(4) Main duties are such obligations which need to be fulfilled in order to perform the agreement and on whose fulfilment the other party may rely and whose breach endangers the contractual purpose.

(5) Regarding free service agreements, irrespective clause 9 (1) to 9 (3), we shall be liable without limitation only for such damages caused by willful misconduct and gross negligence in compliance with section 521 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - BGB).

(6) With respect to all other damages and breaches of obligations, we and the people we use to perform a task and who generally follow our instructions ("Vicarious agents" according to section 831 BGB - Verrichtungsgehilfe) as well as people who we use to perform a specific task as well as our legal representatives (so called Erfüllungsgehilfe according to section 278 BGB) are not liable.

(2) During the subscription term the costs for recurring payments may decrease or increase. The current contract period is not affected by such price changes though.

Warranty in case of non-gratuitous services (1) In case you wish to claim compensation for incomplete or poor performance of our services, you are obligated to notify either us or the payment service provider, depending on what is stated in the payment service provider's terms of services in such case immediately after the asserted deficiency occured.

The minimum contractual period and possible options are specified in the respective service offer. Depending on the offer as well as the chosen payment option, unless otherwise agreed, the contract is automatically renewed for a period corresponding to the minimum contract period, provided that the contract is not terminated one day prior to termination of the minimum contract period or then current contract period.

(4) If a payment option has been chosen which does neither allow automatic renewals of the contract nor periodical debits, the contract period terminates automatically upon expiration of the contract period. A notice of termination is not necessary.

(5) In case we provide you the possibility to switch our offered services during a contract period, this triggers a new minimum contract period for the respective service. Clauses 11.5. (3) and (4) also apply to this new contract period. This, therefore, may extend the duration of the contract period, yet without the right to terminate the contract at the end of the previous contract period. Any payments already made will be offset against the invoice of the subsequent contract period.
