(2) The contract commences when the customer uses the service for the first time, unless otherwise agreed between TMH and the customer, but no later than 3 months following the delivery of the goods, or if the commencement of the contract is delayed after the expiry of these 3 months due to a breach of the customer’s duty to cooperate or other reasons for which the customer is responsible, irrespective of the services not yet rendered by TMH. The above does not apply, if this has been agreed otherwise in writing between TMH and the user. Upon commencement of the contract term, the costs specified under Section III. 1© apply in full.
(3) If the contract has been concluded as a subscription contract, the contract will automatically be extended for a period of twelve months following the initial contract period, subject to Section III. 1. b(3) unless the contract has been terminated by either party by the end of the initial contract period (cf.

(6) Both parties can terminate the contractual relationship after the end of the first contract period in writing by e-mail subject to a notice period of one month to take effect from the end of the next quarter.

Good cause also applies if TMH is not able to continue providing the service.
