The conclusion of the contract is initially followed by a free set-up phase, which ends after 30 days at the latest with the onboarding date. During the set-up phase, the user may not yet be able to use all of the platform's functions. SuperX will debit the agreed fee for the first time within 48 hours of the onboarding date at the latest. If, in individual cases, the onboarding appointment cannot take place until after the end of the set-up phase, the first debit will be made 30 days after conclusion of the contract. The chargeable usage phase and the agreed minimum term begin with this debit.

14.2

Unless otherwise agreed, the minimum contract term is 12 months, starting on the day of the first direct debit. After expiry of the minimum term, the contract of use shall be extended by the length of the payment cycle agreed upon conclusion of the contract if it is not terminated by either party no later than 30 days before expiry of the minimum term or during the extended term no later than 14 days before the end of the respective contract term. This minimum term or extended term applies in the same way to add-ons that the user has additionally booked during the usage phase. The right of both parties to terminate the contract without notice for good cause remains unaffected by this. The effective termination of the contract of use also automatically leads to the termination of any agreed additional services and extensions (in particular add-ons booked during the usage phase) without the need for a separate declaration by the parties.

14.3

Notwithstanding clause 14.2, the user is always entitled to terminate the user contract within 30 days from the date of the first debit by SuperX ("special right of termination").

14.5

Notice of termination must always be given in writing (by post or e-mail).

14.6

After expiry of the contract term, the user will no longer be able to access the platform and the user content - subject to a contract extension or the conclusion of a new user contract - and the content will be deleted from the platform.

15. Data Protection

15.1

Insofar as SuperX processes personal data on behalf of the user in order to provide the contractual services, SuperX is a processor within the meaning of Art. 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the parties conclude the additional agreement on order processing upon conclusion of the user contract, which can be accessed under this link and which, together with its annexes, becomes part of the contract.

15.2

The processing of the contract concluded with the user may require the use of the user's personal data. The details of the data collected and their respective use can be found in the privacy policy.

16. Amendment of the GTC

16.1

SuperX reserves the right to change the services offered as well as these terms of use. A change is possible insofar as the respective change is necessary in order to take into account changes that were not foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, in particular technical or legal conditions, including the conditions for the use of third-party systems. SuperX will take into account the legitimate interests of the user in each case.

16.2

Changes will be communicated to the user in advance by email. If the user does not object to their validity within four weeks of receipt of the notification, the changes are deemed to have been accepted with effect for the future. If the customer objects to the changes, SuperX is entitled to terminate the contractual relationship extraordinarily with a notice period of two weeks, provided that SuperX has pointed out the effect of silence and the right of termination in the notification of change.

16.3

Excluded from the right to change is any change to the subject matter of the contract and the main performance obligations that would lead to a change in the contractual structure as a whole. In such cases, SuperX will inform the user of the intended changes and offer to continue the contractual relationship under the amended conditions.

17. Final Provisions

17.1

The agreements concluded between the parties, including these Terms of Use, are subject to the substantive law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and private international law.

17.2

The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany. However, SuperX is also entitled to sue the user at his general place of jurisdiction. Mandatory statutory provisions on exclusive places of jurisdiction remain unaffected by this provision.

17.3

Should one or more provisions of these Terms of Use be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
