15. Term and Termination

15.1 The term of the Agreement shall be the chosen subscription period ("Initial Term"), which will be renewed automatically for the same period (each a "Renewed Term"), unless terminated pursuant to these GTC. If the Customer is a Consumer, the Renewed Period shall, in deviation from the foregoing, in no event be longer than one month.

15.2 The Customer may unsubscribe from any subscription, and thereby terminate the Agreement according to the period stated below, without giving reason, by using a respective "Termination" button in the User Account. An unpaid subscription may be terminated at any time with immediate effect, whereas a paid subscription may only be terminated with effect at the end of the ordered Initial Term or the end of the respective Renewed Term.

15.3 If the Customer wants to delete the entire User Account, the Customer may do so by contacting dBdone at hello@dbdone.com or pressing the "Delete Account" button. If the Customer cancels the User Account and still has a valid paid subscription for the Service, any amount the Customer may already have paid for the subscription will not be refunded.

15.4 The right of either party to terminate the Agreement without notice for good cause and the right to terminate the Agreement in accordance with section 17 (extraordinary termination in the event of changes to the GTC) shall remain unaffected. dBdone shall be deemed to have a good cause to terminate the contract in particular if (i) the Customer fails to comply with any applicable legal provisions or (ii) the Customer fails to comply with any terms of these Terms of Service, in particular section 12.2, and, where reasonable, dBdone has given the Customer the opportunity to stop any misconduct but the Customer failed to do so.

15.5 With the end of the Agreement, the rights to use the Software pursuant to clause 7 shall automatically end without any declaration being required from dBdone. However, the Customer of SaaS Services shall have the right to export the Customer’s data in CSV format within seven (7) days from the end of the Agreement.

 

16. Changes to the GTC

dBdone reserves the right to change or amend these GTC. The planned changes or amendments shall be announced to the Customer by e-mail or in writing with a reasonable period of notice before the planned entry into force. If the Customer does not object to the amended GTC in text form (e.g. letter or e-mail) within six (6) weeks after receipt of the e-mail, the amended GTC shall be deemed accepted, unless such changes affect any primary obligations of dBdone to provide the Service with the main functions as agreed between the parties. In the event of an objection or non-acceptance of changes to primary obligations as stated above, the original GTC shall continue to apply unchanged; in this case, however, dBdone shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement within the scope of an extraordinary right of termination with a notice period of thirty (30) days from receipt of the objection to the end of the current, as applicable, Initial Term or Renewed Term.

 

17. Links to other Websites

17.1 The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by dBdone.

17.2 dBdone has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. The Customer further acknowledges and agrees that dBdone shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such websites or services.

17.3 dBdone strongly advises the Customer to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party websites or services that the Customer visits.

 

18. Final Provisions

18.1 The European Commission provides a platform for the online settlement of disputes which can be accessed under http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. dBdone is neither obliged to take part in alternative dispute resolutions before a consumer dispute settlement commission nor will do so voluntarily.

18.2 The Customer shall only be permitted to offset claims that are undisputed by dBdone or have been legally established.

18.3 The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from and in connection with this Agreement is Berlin if the Customer is a Business Customer. The place of performance is the registered office of dBdone.

18.4 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively. If the Customer is a Consumer and has his/her habitual residence in another country, the Customer shall, however, continue to have the protection afforded to consumers by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement by virtue of the law applicable in the state of the Customer’s habitual residence.

18.5 Should a provision of these GTC be or become invalid, contain an inadmissible deadline provision or a loophole, the legal validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. Insofar as the invalidity does not result from a violation of §§ 305 ff. BGB (validity of general terms and conditions), an effective provision which comes closest to the economic intentions of the parties shall be deemed to have been agreed in place of the ineffective provision. The same shall apply in the event of a loophole. In the event of an invalid term, the legally permissible term shall apply.
