(1) Consumers are generally entitled to a right of withdrawal under §§ 355, 356 BGB for distance contracts concerning digital content.
(2) Upon first use of the premium features, the user expressly declares that execution of the contract shall begin before the withdrawal period ends. The user simultaneously acknowledges that the right of withdrawal expires upon commencement of execution in accordance with § 356(5) BGB.

(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for injury to life, body or health.
(2) For slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) the fulfilment of which makes proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the user may regularly rely. In such cases, liability is limited to foreseeable, typically occurring damages.

The Provider may adjust prices for the premium subscription within the possibilities of the respective platform. Price changes for ongoing subscriptions are communicated by the platform operator in a timely manner (usually 30 days in advance). The user may cancel the contract via the subscription management before the change takes effect; otherwise the change is deemed accepted.
The Provider reserves the right to amend these terms insofar as this is necessary due to changed legal conditions, technical developments or to close regulatory gaps. Changes will be communicated to the user in a timely manner in the App or by email. If the user does not object within four weeks of notification, the amended terms are deemed accepted. The user will be expressly notified of this consequence.

(2) Should individual provisions of these terms be wholly or partially invalid, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(3) The place of jurisdiction for disputes with entrepreneurs, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law is the registered office of the Provider.
