In the event of price adjustment F24 will communicate the changed prices at least two months prior to the date they become effective.

5.5 Objections to the invoiced amount of fees depending on the volume of use of the services shall be notified in writing within 30 days upon receipt of the invoice. Failure to raise objections in due time will be deemed approval. In its invoice F24 will point out to the consequences of such failure to raise objections in a timely manner.
6. Use of Data
6.1 Personalized data communicated by the customer will be processed and used by F24 exclusively for the customer and according to its instructions (commissioned data processing). Any technical and organizational procedures for the processing and use of such personalized data exceeding the foregoing will be established by the customer upon consultation with F24. Costs and expenses in connection with the implementation of such procedures, if any, shall be paid by the customer to F24 on the basis of the price list as applicable from time to time.
6.2 The data protection regulations of the German Ordinance on Data Protection in the Telecommunications Industry and other applicable data protection laws and regulations will not be affected by the foregoing.
7. Defects and Disturbances
7.1 Liability for defects on the part of F24 is primarily based on agreements made with regard to the quality of the services.

7.3 The customer will be entitled to reduce payment due to defects if the customer notified – as defined in section 3 above – the specific defects which are the reason of reduction. Even in such a case reduction will only be permitted in proportion to the limitation of the options of use as a result of the notified defect.

If the customer finds that the typical, foreseeable damage might exceed the above liability limits, the customer shall expressly draw the attention of F24 to this fact. In such a case the contracting parties will agree a higher liability amount in exchange for the customer’s take-over of the costs incurred for a surplus insurance.
8.7 Where the services can only be provided subject to the provision and availability of communication routes by telecommunications services providers, F24 will assume no responsibility for the provision and availability of the communication routes, unless such provision is denied due to the intentional or grossly negligent acting of F24.
