(6) Furthermore, the member undertakes to refrain from doing anything that impairs the use of the EDUCATION LAB by other members or causes damage to other members, the EDUCATION LAB, the rental space or the building, leads to nuisance of any kind to other tenants (for example through noise or smoke), or leads to an increase in insurance premiums.

(1) The member shall be liable to the EDUCATION LAB for all damage caused by him/herself, his/her employees or third parties invited by him/her to the EDUCATION LAB.

(2) In the event of a first breach of the obligations of the contractual partner regulated in the respective contract, including these GTC, in particular § 3, EDUCATION LAB shall issue a written warning, setting a deadline of 10 days to remedy the breach of duty. In the event of particularly serious breaches or imminent danger, this period may be shortened accordingly.

(3) If the same or a similar breach occurs again after the expiry of the period referred to in paragraph (2) or if the breach originally warned is not remedied, a contractual penalty in the amount of 6 months’ basic fees (§ 7) shall be imposed immediately and, in the event of a dispute, shall be subject to review by the competent court at EDUCATION LAB’s registered office. For the assertion of the contractual penalty, additional legal fees shall also be incurred, which the EDUCATION LAB contractual partner is obliged to reimburse.

(4) The contractual partner shall also be liable to the EDUCATION LAB, irrespective of the contractual penalty imposed, for all damages incurred by the EDUCATION LAB as a result of a breach of duty in accordance with these GTC, individual contractual agreements or the law, in particular for loss of profit and consequential damages.

(5) The contractual partner shall indemnify the EDUCATION LAB from liability in the event of a claim due to a breach of one of the obligations regulated in § 3 or any other breach of applicable law by the contractual partner at the first request of the EDUCATION LAB.

(1) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the contract is concluded for an indefinite period. Ordinary notice of termination by one party must be given by the 7th of a month at the latest for the following month (e.g. if a member terminates his/her membership on February 7, this termination shall take effect on March 1). Notice of termination by EDUCATION LAB shall be given to the member in writing. This termination also includes any personalized partner sites or desired domains.

(2) The contract shall end automatically upon the death of the contractual partner or if EDUCATION LAB is permanently prevented from providing the services under the contract through no fault of its own.

(3) The contract may be terminated by EDUCATION LAB at any time without notice for good cause. An important reason is in particular, but not exclusively, if:

  1. a) the member breaches provisions of the contract and does not remedy this breach despite a reminder and the setting of a grace period in accordance with the relevant contractual provisions;
    b) the member does not make payments due within the set payment terms;
    c) in the reasonable opinion of EDUCATION LAB, the financial and economic circumstances of the Member change so negatively that the Member’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement appears to be jeopardized;
    d) enforcement is granted against the contractual partner;
    e) insolvency proceedings are opened against the member’s assets or the opening of such proceedings is rejected for lack of assets to cover the costs.

The right to extraordinary termination is without prejudice to further claims.

(4) A member who has terminated his contract himself or has been terminated on the basis of the requirement in paragraph (3) may only be readmitted as a member if he submits a new application.

(1) The basic fee stated in the individual contract or the respective service description shall be paid monthly in advance. Additional services will be charged monthly in arrears.

(2) All amounts under this contract are due for payment within 7 days of receipt of the respective invoice.

In addition, EDUCATION LAB is entitled to suspend all further services until the outstanding amount has been paid in full.

(3) If no full payment is made within a period of 5 further days after the reminder in accordance with paragraph (2), the contractual partner is obliged to reimburse EDUCATION LAB for the reminder and collection costs incurred, insofar as they are necessary or useful for appropriate legal action. In any case, this includes the costs of a reminder letter from a lawyer commissioned with the collection in the tariff amount (but at least € 50 per reminder letter) as well as the costs of any legal enforcement. If the contractual partner is in default of payment, the statutory default interest shall apply in the amount applicable to business transactions. The assertion of further rights and claims shall remain unaffected.

(4) In the event of default of payment by the contractual partner, EDUCATION LAB may demand immediate payment of all services and partial services provided under other contracts concluded with the contractual partner. Furthermore, EDUCATION LAB is not obliged to provide further services until the outstanding amount has been paid (right of retention).

(5) If payment in installments has been agreed, EDUCATION LAB reserves the right to demand immediate payment of the entire outstanding debt in the event that partial amounts or ancillary claims are not paid on time (loss of deadline).

8. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

(1) The EDUCATION LAB shall only be liable for damages other than those resulting from injury to life, limb and health, insofar as this is legally permissible, if these are based on intentional or grossly negligent actions by the EDUCATION LAB, its legal representatives or other employees or other assistants. Any further liability for damages is completely excluded. In particular, the EDUCATION LAB is not liable to the member for loss of profit or income, the loss of data, documents or files, for third-party claims, indirect or consequential damages, or for consequential harm caused by a defect.

(2) To the extent permitted by law, liability shall in any case be limited to damages typically foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract and to the amount of average damages typical for the contract, but in any case to a maximum amount of three times the monthly fee to be paid by the member.

(3) The EDUCATION LAB accepts no responsibility for the security and data security of its network (or the connection to the Internet). In this respect, the member is responsible for ensuring the appropriate data security of his/her computer and Internet connection. Furthermore, EDUCATION LAB accepts no responsibility for ensuring that the network and Internet capacity is sufficient or available at all times without interruption.

(4) The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.

The contractual partner agrees that electronic mail may be sent to him for advertising purposes until revoked. This consent can be revoked at any time in writing by e-mail, fax or letter to the contact details listed at the top of the GTC.

11. FINAL PROVISIONS

(1) The EDUCATION LAB is entitled to amend these General Terms and Conditions and all documents at any time. The EDUCATION LAB shall announce changes with a reasonable period of notice.

In the event of an objection, EDUCATION LAB shall be entitled to terminate the contract at the time at which the amended or supplementary terms and conditions are to come into force.

(2) Otherwise, amendments or additions to these terms and conditions and the contract must be made in writing. This also applies to the waiver of the written form requirement.

(3) If a clause of these General Terms and Conditions is ineffective or incomplete, the entire contract shall not be ineffective. Rather, the ineffective clause shall be replaced by a clause that is effective and comes closest to the economic purpose of the ineffective clause. The same shall apply when closing a loophole that requires regulation.

(4) Insofar as these GTC or the respective individual contract refer to natural persons only in the masculine form, they refer to women and men in the same way. When applying the term to certain natural persons, the respective gender-specific form shall be used.

12. APPLICABLE LAW / PLACE OF JURISDICTION

(2) The law of the Republic of Austria shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory provisions of the country in which the contractual partner has its habitual residence shall remain unaffected.
