  1. Bepro emphasizes that user activity may be monitored in the legally permitted scope. If necessary this could include recording IP-connection data, as well as evaluation of such data in cases of concrete signs of violation against the Terms of Use at hand and/or concrete signs of other unlawful actions or crimes.

User’s approval to changes of the Terms of Use at hand, which don’t considerably impair the equivalence ratio to the detriment of the users, which are to amend the contractual relationship between the user and Bepro for the future and which Bepro supplied 30 calendar days before the suggested effective date of the changes in written form (email notification shall be deemed sufficient), is effectively granted, if the refusal is not reported before the suggested effective date of the changes. Bepro will particularly emphasize this assumption of consent in the absence of objection to users in their proposed change offer. As of receipt of the notification users will have 30 calendar days to refuse applicability of the changes and terminate the agreement with Bepro with effect to the end of the contractual month without incurring any costs. The previous version of the Terms of Use shall apply after such termination for the remaining part of the term. The changes in the Terms of Use will be binding for those users who have not made use of their termination right within the respective 30 calendar days. The most current version of these Terms of Use will be available in the app.

11. Final clauses

  1. The laws of Germany apply with the exemption of its provisions concerning conflict of laws. Consumers within the European Union may also be subject to the law of their respective place of residence if this is mandatory consumer law.
  1. As long as the client is a merchant, a legal entity of public law or special assets under public law, place of jurisdiction for all disputes resulting directly or indirectly from the contractual relationship is Hamburg.
  1. We would like to point out that besides the legal recourse the option of extrajudicial settlement according to decree (EU) no. 524/2013 exists. Details can be found in decree (EU) no. 524/2013 and on the web page: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Our email address is: contact@bepro11.com. We would like to point out that according to § 36 VSBG we are neither willing nor obligated to attend an extrajudicial dispute settlement procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
