4 Instruction on Revocation.

4.1 Instruction on Revocation for EU Consumers.

Due to their inherent nature, the applications are not suitable for return, so that, in accordance with Section 312(d), Subsection 4, No. 1 of the German Civil Code, there is no right of revocation.

With regard to the agreement on the use of this service, you have, if you are a consumer with your normal place of abode or residence in the European Union, a legal right to revoke this agreement in accordance with the following instruction:

Right of Revocation.

You can revoke your willingness to enter into this agreement within 14 days without giving any reasons in text form (e.g. letter, fax, e-mail). The time limit begins after receipt of this instruction in text form, but not before the agreement has been formed or prior to fulfilling our information obligations in accordance with Article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 (1) and (2) of the Introductory Law of the German Civil Code [Einführungsgesetz zum Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuch, EGBGB] or prior to fulfilling our obligations in accordance with § 312g (1), sentence 1 of the German Civil Code [Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB] in conjunction with Article 246 § 3 EGBGB. To comply with the revocation period it is sufficient to send the revocation in a timely fashion. The revocation must be sent to:

contact@universalunits.com

Consequences of Revocation.

In case of an effective revocation, any services received by the two parties need to be refunded and any benefits derived (e.g. interest) must be returned. You must pay compensation to us to the extent that you have received services and benefits (e.g. usage advantages) but cannot refund or return them or can refund or return them only in part or only in a deteriorated condition. This may cause you to fulfil your contractual payment obligations for the period up to the revocation nonetheless. Any obligations to reimburse payments must be met within 30 days. The time limit begins for you when you send your revocation notice and for us upon its receipt.

Special Notes.

Your right of revocation expires prematurely if the agreement is fully fulfilled by both sides on your specific request before you have exercised your right of revocation.

End of Instruction on the Right of Revocation.

4.2 The above right of revocation does not apply to companies or end-customers who have their habitual residence or domicile outside the European Union.

5 Responsibility for Content.

5.1 We accept no responsibility of any kind for the texts, content, images, data and/or information or for content on linked external websites entered or provided by you or other U2 users. In particular, we give no guarantee that this content is true, fulfils any particular purpose or can serve any particular purpose.

5.2 If you notice or suspect any illegal or non-contractual use of U2, you can report this to us at any time via this email address: contact@universalunits.com.

6 Premium Accounts.

6.1 Certain functions are only accessible to users who have registered as “PREMIUM” users and who pay for “PREMIUM” Accounts. You will find all the benefits and functions of the “PREMIUM” Accounts at http://universalunits.com/.

6.2 Payment and Invoicing.

6.2.1 Payment for using the U2 “PREMIUM” Accounts is made in accordance with the invoicing conditions to Universal Units GmbH selected by you and is based on the price-list applying when the agreement is signed and on the discounts offered by Universal Units GmbH applying therein which you can retrieve any time at: http://universalunits.com/products/vat-check/prices-and-conditions.

7.1.1 The agreement on free use of the U2 apps is concluded for an indefinite period.

7.1.2 You can terminate the agreement at any time by selecting the “delete your account” option in the account settings, thereby deleting your account. On termination, unsecured data will be lost as we will delete your account completely. We will inform you of this again separately before we delete your account.

7.1.3 We can terminate this agreement in writing with a notice period of two (2) weeks (email will be sufficient).

7.2 Use of “PREMIUM” Accounts for Payment.

7.2.1 Depending on the “PREMIUM” Account payment method, the agreement is concluded for an indefinite term or for a given fixed minimum term (hereinafter: “Minimum Term Agreements”).

7.2.2 Both parties may terminate the agreement at any time. If you change to another “PREMIUM” Account category, this will not constitute termination. We will simply adapt the conditions of payment and your rights to your new “PREMIUM” Account category.

7.2.3 Agreements with a minimum term will run until the end of the agreed period and will be extended automatically by the same period if you do not terminate your Account beforehand by deleting it in accordance with No. 7.1.2 or by downgrading it to free use. If you terminate or downgrade a “PREMIUM” Account, the original agreements will run to the end of the agreed term and will then no longer be extended. Reimbursement of already-paid fees for the current term is not possible.

7.3 In addition, the agreement may be terminated for just cause. Just cause which would entitle Universal Units GmbH to terminate the agreement will be if you breach your contractual obligations, in particular the rules of use described in No. 3.5 of U2 or if you are delayed with your payment obligations in accordance with No. 6.3.1.

8 Liability for Defects.

8.1 We are only liable for defects in U2 in accordance with No. 8 provided the impairments are not due to the restrictions in availability (SLA) described fully No. 2.2.

8.2 A defect will always be deemed to exist if the suitability for contractual use is suspended or considerably restricted. If suitability for contractual use is suspended in full, you will be released from paying your charges in accordance with No. 6 until the defect is corrected. If use is partially available, the charges will be reduced to an appropriate level for the period until the defect is corrected.

8.3 You are obliged to inform us in writing or by email immediately of the occurring defect.

8.4 You are not entitled to damages due to a defect to U2 existing when you sign the agreement or occurring thereafter or due to a circumstance for which we are not responsible.

8.5 Further claims and rights and claims and rights other than those explicitly named in No. 8 due to defects to U2 will not be recognised if we are not liable to further compulsory legislative provisions.

9 Liability.

Free Use of U2-Nutzung.

9.1 Our liability for use of the free sections of von U2 is restricted to intention and gross negligence or the absence of a guaranteed characteristic. We will be fully liable in cases of intention; in cases of gross negligence and the absence of a guaranteed characteristic, our liability will be restricted to the typical and foreseeable damage. Any further liability is excluded.

Use of the “PREMIUM” Accounts for Payment.

9.2 We will be liable as follows for use of the PREMIUM Accounts made available for payment:

9.2.1 Claims by users for compensation will not be recognised. Exceptions are: damages claims by the user for death, physical injury, harm to human health, the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) or liability for other damage resulting from an intently or grossly negligent breach of duty on our part, our legal representatives or assistants. Cardinal obligations within the meaning of these T&Cs are those obligations that make the due performance of this agreement and the achievement of its objectives possible at all and on the compliance of which the user may therefore regularly rely.

9.2.2 Where essential contractual obligations are breached, we will only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical of agreements of this nature if this damage was merely caused negligently unless the damages claims by the user are based on death, physical injury or harm to human health.

9.2.3 Claims in accordance with the German Product Liability Act will remain unaffected.

9.2.4 The restrictions of No's 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 will also apply in favour of our legal representatives and assistants if claims are asserted against these parties directly.

10 Miscellaneous: Final Provisions and Amendments to the Terms and Conditions of Use.

10.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies.

10.2 If you have no place of jurisdiction in Germany or in any other EU member state, if you have transferred your permanent domicile abroad after these Terms and Conditions of Use become effective or if your domicile or normal place of residence is unknown at the time legal action is brought, the sole place of jurisdiction all disputes arising from this agreement will be the location of our registered offices.

10.3 If individual provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Use are or become invalid and/or contrary to the provisions of the law, this will not affect the remaining Terms and Conditions of Use. The invalid provision will be replaced by the parties to the agreement by mutual agreement with a provision which comes as close as possible in law to the commercial purpose of the invalid provision. The abovementioned provision will apply correspondingly in the case of omissions in these provisions.

10.4 We reserve the right to amend and adapt these T&Cs with effect for the future. You can request the currently applicable version of the Terms and Conditions of Use via contact@universalunits. com or retrieve them at http://universalunits.com/agb.

We will inform you separately in suitable form about the significance of the one month's notice period, your right to object and the legal consequences of silence. This amendment mechanism does not apply to amendments to the parties' main contractual obligations.
