If the modification offer is accepted later by the Service User, the contractual relationship shall be continued from this date on. The Service User can not claim any contractual rights from legal or actual events that have occurred during the suspension of the contractual relationship.
If the Service User rejects the Alteration Offer, pg5-Studio is entitled to terminate the contract without prior notice, with the result that the Service Account will be deleted immediately.

Until the effective date of the termination of the contract, the last accepted Terms of Service continue to apply.
The Liability of pg5-Studio for their own as well as their attributable third-party fault for its legal representatives and vicarious agents is limited to intent and gross negligence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability for injury to life, body and health as well as the liability according to the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) shall in all cases fully maintain.
A Liability for minor negligence shall also maintain if it is a matter of essential contractual obligations (Kardinalspflichten) or if pg5-Studio has guaranteed the fulfillment of the breached duty. Essential contractual obligations (Kardinalspflichten) shall be understood as obligations which make the proper execution of the contract possible, obligations whose infringement endanger the realization of the contractual purpose and whose fulfillment the Service User may reasonably trust. However, pg5-Studio is only liable for contractually typical and foreseeable damage with regard to the aforementioned essential contractual obligations (Kardinalspflichten).
For the loss of data caused negligently by pg5-Studio the Service User shall not be entitled to claim damages.
pg5-Studio is not liable for any costs which are offered to the Service User by the use of services outside the performance spectrum of pg5-Studio itself.
The contract between the Service User and the pg5-Studio is closed indefinitely.
The contract may be terminated by either party at any time at the end of the respective month in which the notice of termination of the respective party is received.
The contract may be terminated by either party without notice for good cause. A good cause is in particular when:
The termination notice of the Service of the Service User must be given in text form according to sec. 126b of the german civil code.
The Termination notice of pg5-Studio is sent via e-mail to the e-mail address provieded by the Service User.
The legal consequence of a termination is that the mutual contractual relations between the Service User and pg5-Studio cease to exist by the termination date.
If the Service User explicitly wishes to delete his Service Account immediately in the termination notice, pg5-Studio will fulfill this request until the termination date. This does not include the data of the affected Service User as long as and as far as pg5-Studio has an interest in documentation and proof. This applies in particular to accounting documents from the purchase of Premium Services until the relevant statutory period of limitation.
In other cases, the Service User Account is suspended untill the termination date is reached. The account will be deleted automatically after a period of 3 months. (10.8) sentence 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
By terminating, the Service User loses all contractual rights by the termination date, in particular all rights to the Digital Contents provided by pg5-Studio.
As far as Premium Content is concerned, the Service User is only entitled to reclaim the amount of money paid, if PG5 Studio terminates for reasons that are beyond the Service User's control. In this case, the money will be repaid to the account deposited by the Service User. Alternatively, the Service User may claim that the Premium Content shall be transferred to another Service Account. Furthermore, for the loss of basic and premium content resulting from the termination of the contract, the service user won't receive any gems, money or transfer possibility to another service account.
For technical or operational reasons, pg5-Studio reserves themselves the right to suspend or restrict the Service so that the Service Users have no or restricted access to the service during that period of time.
The Service User shall only be entitled to charge up against a counterclaim of pg5-Studio with uncontested claims or claims that have been recognised by declaratory judgement.
In addition to the right of retention as mentioned in Sec. 320 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the Service User can only claim such rights of retention against pg5-Studio which arise from the Service Contract.
The Service User agrees to the storage and processing of his data by logging in to the Service Account and the use of the Services for the purpose of opening the Service Account.
If the Service User wishes to delete his / her data, he / she has to inform pg5-Studio by post mail or via email to the address mentioned in (10.5.). In this case, pg5-Studio is entitled to terminate the Service Usage Agreement by good cause, without observing a notice period.
In addition, the Data Privacy Policy of pg5-Studio applies.
If the Service User is domiciled or habitually resident outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the statutory seat of pg5-Studio is court. This also applies if the place of residence or habitual residence of the Service User is unknown at the time the complaint is brought.
For any inconsistencies, conflicts and deviations between this language version of the Terms of Service and the German Version of the Terms of Service - both in their respective actual form - the German Version shall be the decisive one.
