4.8 Konzeptplus ag reserves the right to block the customer's domain with immediate effect at the customer's expense in case of misuse or because the customer's user behavior affects the server's operation in any way. Misuse shall be deemed to be, in particular, the customer's failure to fulfill the contractual obligations mentioned above as well as those mentioned below (clause 5/6). The blocking remains in effect until the respective facts have been clarified, the customer provides proof of the actual harmlessness of the content and/or a court decision has been issued in a legal dispute. Claims for damages on the part of konzeptplus ag are expressly reserved in any case of misuse of the hosting or violation of the GTC.
5. E-Mail
5.2 The sending of advertising e-mails by the contracting party to third parties without having been requested to do so by them is not permitted. konzeptplus ag reserves the right to block the customer's hosting/domain without notice until the matter has been clarified. The sending of unsolicited mass mails (spamming, mail bombing) via the servers of MN konzeptplus ag is prohibited.

Such conduct shall be deemed to be misuse and shall result in the above-mentioned sanctions (Section 4.8).
5.3 Konzeptplus ag points out that, depending on the configuration, the use of a spam filter may also filter and block desired or expected mails in individual cases. konzeptplus ag accepts no liability for any mails not received as a result.
6. Data Security
6.2 It is recommended that the customer perform a complete data backup prior to any own or commissioned changes. Should a data loss occur during the adjustments, the obligation according to clause 6.1 comes into effect.
6.3 The customer is also responsible for updating his system (including third-party software) and is obliged to install security-relevant updates in particular. konzeptplus ag reserves the right to block unsafe applications/applications without prior notice. This blocking will remain in place until the respective issue has been clarified and/or the applications/applications comply with the current security standard again with the corresponding updates. konzeptplus ag excludes any liability for damages or claims arising in this regard.
6.4 For data security reasons, konzeptplus ag is only obliged to provide the contracting party directly with information about his data processed by konzeptplus ag. No data will be passed on to third parties; the customer himself is responsible and liable for this (see section 4.2).

7.3 When using the Internet, the customer is exposed to various data protection risks. In particular, data protection is not guaranteed when data is transmitted unencrypted. It must therefore be assumed that unencrypted e-mails can be read, changed or suppressed by third parties without authorization. Encryption and ciphering of transmitted information can improve protection against unauthorized access. Firewalls can potentially prevent or at least make it more difficult for unauthorized third parties to gain access. Taking measures to improve data protection is the responsibility of the customer.

9. Contract duration and Termination
9.2 The notification or invoice for the extension of the contract shall be sent 2 months before the end of the current 12-month contract period and shall be sent by mail to the contact address defined when the order was placed (cf. also Sections 3.5 and 4.3). If no payment is made by the end of the 12-month contract period, konzeptplus ag is entitled to block or terminate the account and withhold all other services. This blocking will remain in effect until payment has been received by konzeptplus ag. konzeptplus ag excludes any liability for any resulting damages, claims, etc. of the customer.
9.3 Either party may terminate the contract at the end of the current 12-month contract period by giving 30 days' notice. If the contract is not terminated in due time, it shall be automatically extended by a further year. By mutual agreement between the contracting parties (customer and konzeptplus ag), the contract can also be terminated within other periods or on another date. If the contract is terminated prior to the expiration of the minimum term or on a special date (not at the end of the contract with ordinary termination), the refund of the fee already paid pro rata temporis is excluded and forfeited to konzeptplus ag.
9.4 After the expiration of the contract (termination date), konzeptplus ag is entitled to delete all customer data. The customer is responsible for the timely backup of his data. In the event of an extraordinary termination of the contract without notice, the data will be deleted after a 10-day security period from the date of the termination notice.
9.5 In case of misuse, konzeptplus ag reserves the right to terminate the contractual relationship with immediate effect. Misuse is defined as the customer's failure to fulfill the contractual obligations mentioned in sections 4 and 5.
