§ 15 Changes to the general terms and conditions
(1) The operator is entitled to unilaterally change these terms and conditions insofar as this does not affect essential provisions of the contractual relationship, the change is necessary to adapt to developments that were not foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded and which, if not taken into account, would noticeably disrupt the balance of the contractual relationship. Essential regulations within the meaning of these general terms and conditions are in particular those regarding the type and scope of the contractually agreed subject matter and the duration, including the regulations on termination. Regarding changes to the object of performance - in particular the remuneration to be paid for the services provided - reference is expressly made to the regulation under § 15 paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 of these general terms and conditions.
(2) The operator is entitled to change the object of performance insofar as this is necessary for good reason, objectively not putting the member in a worse position compared to the previous object of performance (e.g. maintaining or improving access options, additional access options (e.g. smartphone app)) and there is no significant deviation from the object of performance. A "valid reason" for changing the object of performance within the meaning of these terms and conditions exists, if the object of performance is adapted to technical developments, third parties from whom the operator obtains the necessary advance services for the performance of his services, change their range of services or legal regulations or judicial decisions are a restriction or Make extension of the subject of performance necessary.
(3) The operator is entitled to increase the agreed remuneration within the framework of an ongoing contract if the cost increase occurs in order to pass on increased costs to a member. The right to adjust prices includes, in particular, the case that third parties from whom the operator obtains the preliminary services necessary to provide the services owed under this contract increase their prices. The operator is also entitled to adjust the prices accordingly if the sales tax increases.
(4) Changes to these terms and conditions, the subject of the service and the subscription fee intended changes according to § 15 paragraph 1 to paragraph 3 will be communicated to the member at least one month before they take effect by email to the email address provided by the member . The member has a special right of termination at the time the changes take effect. With regard to price adjustments in accordance with Section 15 (3) of these General Terms and Conditions, however, the special termination right does not apply if the price adjustment does not exceed 5% of the subscription price paid up to the price adjustment and a previous price adjustment was made at least 12 months ago. However, if the member is entitled to a special termination right, the member must exercise this special termination right in writing to Finanzoo GmbH within one month of receiving the notification of the change. If notice of termination is not given within the aforementioned period or in the form mentioned above, the changes will become part of the contract at the time they take effect. The member will be specifically informed of this consequence in the change notification.
§ 16 Final provisions, online dispute resolution
