7. Term and Termination

7.1

7.1 The partner and refive can terminate as follows:

1. 1. A minimum term of one month applies to contracts with monthly billing. After the minimum term has expired, the contract is extended by extension periods of one month each, unless the partner cancels before the start of an extension period. The notice period is one month before the start of an extension period.
2. 2. A minimum term of one year applies to contracts for the use of the software with annual billing. After the minimum term has expired, the contract is extended by extension periods of one year each, unless the partner gives notice of three months before the start of an extension period. For the extension of the contracts for the paid use of the software with annual billing, refive will provide the partner with a new annual bill for transfer no later than two weeks before the start of the new extension period.

Termination for good cause remains unaffected by this. This is particularly the case if:

• Repeated breaches of contractual obligations committed by the partner and these are not refrained from even after being asked to do so.
• Wrong or incomplete information was provided by the partner when registering.
• Users report too many (too vague, better: multiple) negative experiences about a partner and these are not obviously unjustified. refive reserves the right to check the ratings carefully beforehand.

We reserve the right to restrict access to the service, in particular for maintenance, security or capacity reasons. If access is restricted, this will be announced in advance if possible.

The limited availability when maintaining the system takes place during the required maintenance times.

refive will continuously update, expand and/or change the software of the platform in order to react to changing user interests, to fix technical errors and to introduce new functions. There is no entitlement to maintaining the software in the state it was in when the contract was concluded or at a later point in time.
