9.2 The term of contracts for chargeable use of the BI Solution shall be as specified in the order form, i.e. 12 months, unless otherwise stipulated in the offer (hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Term”).

11.5 These General Terms may be amended by agreement between the Customer and minubo as follows: minubo shall submit the amended terms in text form before they take effect, specifying which provisions are to be amended and the date when the proposed amendments are to take effect. At the same time, minubo shall allow the Customer a reasonable time, at least two months, to advise whether or not it accepts the amended terms of use for its further use of the services. If no statement to the contrary is made within this time limit, which begins to run upon receipt of the notice in text form, the amended terms shall be deemed agreed. When the time limit begins to run, minubo shall specifically inform the Customer of this legal consequence, i.e. of the right to object, the time limit for objections and the effects of remaining silent. If the Customer accepts the amended General Terms, they shall take effect without undue delay after express acceptance or after expiry of the time limit referred to above. Once the two-month time limit has expired, the Customer will no longer be able to log in to the BI Solution without accepting the amended terms. If the Customer objects to the new General Terms by giving written notice to this effect to minubo, the General Terms hitherto agreed shall continue to apply to its contract. In such a case, minubo reserves the right to terminate the contract extraordinarily.
12.1 The following clauses shall prevail and apply, if applicable, in deviation from the other provisions of these General Terms, with respect to contracts entered into with the involvement of (e.g. through referrals from) partner companies or resellers (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Partner Companies”) of minubo.
12.2 Unless otherwise stipulated in this clause 12 “Contracts with the involvement of partner companies of minubo”, the other provisions of these General Terms shall apply.
12.3 In the event that a Partner Company is involved, these General Terms shall stand as an independent contract between the Customer and minubo.
12.4 These General Terms shall likewise apply if the BI Solution is used through the service of a Partner Company, e.g. through that Partner Company’s website or app store.
12.5 As an alternative to the way described in clause 1.5, a contract for chargeable services of minubo can be entered into by the Customer’s acceptance of the offer the Partner Company submitted, provided that the offer is also signed by an authorized signatory of the Partner Company and these General Terms governing the provision of minubo’s services are included.
12.6 If expressly stipulated in the offer, the Customer shall pay the fees to the Partner Company with discharging effect. In this case, payments shall not be made to minubo directly, and no such payments shall have discharging effect.
12.7 minubo shall have the right to make the various data (as defined in clause 4 above) available to the Partner Company for processing and use at its discretion. The Partner Company may transfer the data stored by the Customer at the Partner Company or the data calculated by the Partner Company for the Customer to minubo for processing and use at its discretion, e.g. as part of Consolidated Data.
12.8 In deviation from clause 5.3.4 above, minubo does not accept responsibility for breach of confidentiality by the Partner Company. The Customer shall itself be responsible for entering into agreements to this effect with the Partner Company.
12.9 The limitations on liability under these General Terms shall also apply in the relationship of Customer to either Partner Company or the Reseller to the extent that claims of the Customer based on the services of minubo arise in this relationship. minubo declines all liability or warranty for acts or omissions of third parties, including, without limitation, of Partner Companies or Resellers, unless their services are expressly part of minubo‘s contractual services to the Customer
