Terms and Conditions

Preamble

§3 Right of termination for consumers

3.1 Right of termination

A person is considered a consumer if the purpose of his use of service is neither commercial nor professional. A consumer may terminate the present contractual agreement in written form (e.g. by letter, fax or e-mail) within two (2) weeks without stating a reason. The period of two weeks begins upon receipt of these terms in written form, but not before the contract has been executed, and also not prior to fulfillment of the information duties of ROCKET RENTALS as per § 312c (2) BGB (German Civil Code) in connection with § 1 (1), (2) and (4) BGB-InfoV, as well as ROCKET RENTALS’ duties as per § 312e (1) line 1 in connection with § 3 BGB-InfoV. The consumer may terminate the contract by giving timely notice to:

ROCKET RENTALS GmbH
Warschauer Str. 70A
D-10243 Berlin
hello@rocket-rentals.de
Telefax: +49 (0)30 868 708 383-9

3.2 Consequences of termination

Given the termination of the contract was valid, fees and services provided by both parties have to be returned, and any economic advantages gained (e.g. interest) have to be repaid. If the consumer cannot return the services rendered fully or in part, or only in a lesser form, he is obliged to reimburse ROCKET RENTALS for the caused loss. For the consumer, this may involve the requirement to fulfill the contractual payment obligations for the time period until termination. Obligations to reimburse costs have to be fulfilled within 30 days. For the consumer, this period begins when sending the the contract termination. For ROCKET RENTALS, this period begins at receipt of the termination.

3.3 Premature expiration of the right of termination

The consumer’s right of termination expires before the end of the legal termination period if both parties explicitly agree that the contract has been fulfilled before the consumer made use of his right of termination.

4.1 ROCKET RENTALS does not take responsibility for any content provided by the user.

4.2 Posting of content

(a) When posting content, the user has to respect any applicable law (e.g. copy right, trademark right, patent right, design right or utility pattern right), the Penal or Criminal Code, as well as any third parties claims.

(b) The user will not post any content which is considered propaganda as per §86 of the German Penal Code. Further, he will neither agitate against parts of the population or a group of people for racist, religious or any other motive, nor will he incite on them or defame them.

(c) The user will not post pornographic content or content which violates the German law for the protection of the youth.

(d) The user will not post any content that is harmful to human dignity, that is glorifying war, or that is glorifying violence in another way by means of illustrations or descriptions.

§5 Cost and term

5.1 The scope of features depends on the plan selected by the user, which may incur costs. Details about pricing models are disclosed on the Planio website in the section “Pricing & Sign Up”. All advertised prices are fixed.

5.2 Fees are to be paid for the selected contract period in advance and upon receipt of invoice. The user may pay by direct debit or by an accepted credit card. If a bank transaction cannot be completed, the user bears the resulting expenses, such as bank fees which may incur for a bounced direct debit. Invoices from ROCKET RENTALS will be delivered by e-mail.

5.3 If the user authorized direct debit, the fee for the next term will always be collected on the last day of the current term.

5.4 When using Planio on a paying plan, the initial contract period complies with the term selected by the user. Afterwards, the contract period extends by the length of the first term if the user or ROCKET RENTALS do not terminate the contract in due time. When using Planio on a plan free of charge, the contract is concluded for an indefinite period.

5.5 When using Planio on a paying plan, the user and ROCKET RENTALS may terminate the contract at the end of the term selected by the user, or if applicable, at the end of an extended term which has come into effect, within one (1) work day without stating a reason. When using Planio on a plan free of charge, the user and ROCKET RENTALS may terminate anytime without stating a reason. Termination can be performed via the customer’s administration panel within a Planio instance, or by e-mail, letter, or fax. For this, the user’s e-mail address registered with Planio as well as the address of the Planio instance which ought to be terminated (sub-domain, alias or similar) has to be provided.

5.6 The provision of section 5.5 shall not affect the right of both parties to terminate the contract for good cause. Such a good cause includes violations of the present terms, the loss of or suspected abuse of access data, or any other good cause. A termination by ROCKET RENTALS may be performed by deletion of the respective user account and of its associated contents.

5.7. The user accepts that for technical reasons it may become neccesary for ROCKET RENTALS to authorize (block and reserve) once a small amount of maximum 1,00 EUR on the credit or debit card provided by the user. This amount will not be collected by ROCKET RENTALS and gets unblocked about seven (7) work days later, depending on the rules of the bank which issued the card.
