Online at https://pro-news24.com or via email: info@pro-news24.com

2. Subscriptions

2.1. Conclusion of Contract
By clicking the “BOOK NOW” button, you place a binding order for the subscription. The contract is usually concluded upon confirmation of the order by email, but no later than upon granting access to the digital offer, which occurs after receipt of payment from the subscriber.

2.2. Payment, price adjustments for subscriptions and online services
The buyer is obligated to pay. Payment is due for the specified number of issues or months from the date of contract conclusion in advance. Unless otherwise agreed, payments must be made without deduction to the accounts stated on the order confirmation or invoice. Only the payment methods offered during the ordering process are accepted. All prices quoted include statutory value-added tax. A reduction in value-added tax does not affect the net price stated for the subscription.

2.3. Delivery/provision
Provision is made on the respective website of the online provider. Digital offers are provided immediately.

2.4. Reservation of title/rights
The necessary usage rights are granted revocably until full payment is received.

2.5. Subscriptions: start, number of issues, termination and notifications
A subscription to the online access to the Pro News24 GmbH platform is generally granted immediately upon receipt of payment. Detailed information on the notice period for termination is displayed directly with the respective offer. Unless otherwise stated, termination with a notice period of three months is possible. But in the case of a minimum term, termination is only possible at the earliest upon expiry of a minimum term of 12 months and with termination at the end of the contract, with three months’ notice. The seller is entitled to send any notifications regarding online subscriptions to the email address last provided by the buyer. The buyer shall promptly inform the seller of any changes to their email address. In the event of failure to report the changed email address, the principle of culpability lies with the buyer and explicitly not with Pro News24 GmbH.

2.6. Usage rights
Upon provision or transmission of individual digital contents, the buyer is granted the simple right to use them for their own non-commercial use. Further use, particularly publication on the internet, as well as unauthorized reproduction, distribution or provision of content via the internet, whether free of charge or for a fee, is not permitted. The same applies to the removal of copyright notices and source references as well as any other modification or manipulation of downloads. The granted usage rights are non-transferable or sublicensable and are subject to full payment. However, legally permitted uses under copyright law are not restricted and remain in full force and effect with the contracting partner

2.7. Updates
Pro News24 GmbH is entitled to revise, update or otherwise modify the contents of the digital offers at any time if this should be necessary for technical, legal or content-related reasons and does not unreasonably restrict the rights of the buyer. Pro News24 GmbH is not obligated to provide, archive or store all versions of an article or other content ever published on any other data platform. The seller no longer has access to and influence over any content downloaded by the buyer and published independently via the Pro News24 GmbH platform.

2.8. Availability of digital offers
Pro News24 GmbH endeavors to keep the digital offers available as continuously as possible. However, availability may be restricted due to maintenance and repair work, system updates or technical malfunctions beyond the seller’s control. No guarantee is provided for continuous availability.

2.9. Necessary requirements – account, internet access and storage space
Access to subscribed digital contents is possible via the respective website and requires registration by the buyer and access to the internet. A minimum bandwidth of at least 2000 Kbit/s DSL access is recommended. Furthermore, the buyer ensures that they can establish internet connections to external servers on their end device (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet) without restrictions. Registration of an account requires providing an email address and a freely chosen password. Access to digital offers is only possible for the buyer with this email address and password. The buyer must not disclose or make the password accessible to third parties and must keep it secure to prevent misuse. They are obligated to inform the seller immediately if the password is lost or if they become aware that unauthorized third parties have gained knowledge of the password.

3. Right of withdrawal
Information on the statutory right of withdrawal, including conditions, deadlines, the procedure for exercising the right of withdrawal and the model withdrawal form, can be found below.

Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of contract conclusion. In the case of a contract for several services that you have ordered as part of a single order and that are delivered separately, the withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party designated by you, who is not the carrier, have taken possession of the last service. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from this contract. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send the notification of exercising the right of withdrawal by email to info@pro-news24.com before the withdrawal period of two weeks expires.

Consequences of Withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you for all payments received from you, including delivery costs (except for the additional costs arising from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day on which we receive notification of your withdrawal from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

4. Warranty / liability

4.1.
If the provided digital content is defective, the statutory warranty provisions apply. Furthermore, any further claims – regardless of their legal basis – are excluded unless otherwise stated in the following paragraphs.

4.2.
In the event of a breach of cardinal obligations, i.e., obligations whose fulfillment is essential for achieving the purpose of the contract, the seller’s liability is limited to damages caused by negligence and a maximum of the agreed sum for the service. Likewise, the seller is liable for damages due to the absence of guaranteed characteristics, injury to life, body, or health as well as claims under the Service Liability Act. In all other respects, the seller’s liability only exists in cases of intent and gross negligence. This also applies to the seller’s legal representatives and vicarious agents. Specifically not applicable to partner platforms with which the service provider cooperates.

4.3.
In the event of liability for damages due to the negligent breach of cardinal obligations, the seller’s liability is limited to the typically foreseeable damage, which usually does not exceed the purchase price of the service. In this case, damages not caused to the service itself, especially lost profits or other financial losses, are expressly not reimbursed. To the extent that the seller’s liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of its employees, representatives, agents and partner companies whose services are offered by the seller.

5. Final provisions

5.1. Jurisdiction and applicable law
The seller is entitled to sue at the general place of jurisdiction of the buyer. German substantive law applies, excluding the referral rules. The place of jurisdiction is the jurisdiction of Magdeburg.

5.2. Offsetting of claims
A right of retention by the buyer is excluded unless their counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.

5.3. Storage of the contract text
We store the contract text and send you the order data including the terms and conditions by email. You can only view past orders if you create a customer account.

5.4. Out-of-court dispute resolution
We do not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. According to EU Regulation No. 524/2013, we are obliged to inform you that the European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (the so-called ODR platform) at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

5.5. Severability Clause
Should any provision of these terms and conditions be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining clauses.
