TeamSpeak expressly reserves the right to reject a payment method
selected by the customer in the contract offer.
10.4 In the case of telephone orders or orders placed by e-mail, fax or
post, payment by bank transfer shall be agreed as advance payment unless
otherwise agreed, whereby TeamSpeak's remuneration shall become due upon
conclusion of the contract, i.e. the customer shall be obliged to pay
the remuneration in advance.
10.5 If payment on account has been agreed, payment shall be due within
fourteen working days of receipt of the invoice by the Customer.
10.6 TeamSpeak shall be entitled to perform or provide outstanding
services only against advance payment or security if, after conclusion
of the contract, it becomes aware of circumstances which could
significantly reduce the creditworthiness of the customer and which
endanger the payment of TeamSpeak's outstanding claims by the customer
arising from the respective contractual relationship (including from
other individual orders).
11. Termination of license agreements for the software solutions
11.1 The contracts for the licensing of software solutions have the
contract term stated in the service description (hereinafter referred to
as the "minimum contract term"), i.e.
11.1.1 The contract for the "Unlicensed" license model has no fixed
contract term. The license model can be used by the customer at any time
as long as TeamSpeak offers this license model.
11.1.2 The contract for the "NPL" licensing model has a minimum term of
six months.
11.1.3 The contract for the "AAL" licence model has a minimum term of
twelve months.
11.1.4 The contract for the "ATHP" licence model has a minimum term of
twelve months.
11.1.5 The contract for the license model "SDK" has the individually
agreed minimum contract term.
11.2 The Contract shall be automatically extended by the minimum
Contract Term if neither party terminates the Contract at the end of the
minimum Contract Term. With the license model "NPL", the contract is
only automatically extended if the customer has used the software
solution within a period of one month before the end of the minimum
contract term; otherwise the contract ends automatically with the end of
the minimum contract term.
11.3 The license agreement may be terminated by the customer at any time
at the end of the minimum contract term without notice. TeamSpeak may
terminate the License Agreement at any time subject to a notice period
equal to half the period of the minimum contract term to the end of the
minimum contract term.
11.4 The right of both parties to extraordinary termination remains
unaffected. TeamSpeak is entitled to an extraordinary right of
termination, in particular under the conditions set out in Section 11.5
of these GTC.
11.5 In particular, TeamSpeak has a right of extraordinary termination,
11.5.1.1 if the Customer defaults on two consecutive payments due for
the Licensing.
11.5.1.2 if the customer repeatedly falls below the minimum license fee
in the case of a contract for the license model "ATHP".
11.5.1.3 if the customer repeatedly violates his obligations under the
license agreement, including these GTC, despite a warning and the
violations are not insignificant.
11.5.1.4 if the customer repeatedly breaches its essential obligations
under this contract despite a warning from TeamSpeak and is responsible
for the breach.
11.5.1.5 if the customer has chosen the license models "Unlicensed" or
"NPL" without the property as a consumer or non-commercial grouping
being present or this property having subsequently ceased to exist. In
this case we reserve the right to claim damages.
11.6 Each termination requires the text form.
12. Obligations of the customer when using the client
12.1 The customer himself is obliged to undertake data back-ups at
regular intervals. TeamSpeak is not responsible for any loss of data
resulting from a breach of this obligation. This does not apply if
TeamSpeak is responsible for the violation.
12.2 Furthermore, the customer is obliged to use programs corresponding
to the current technical standard against viruses and other malicious
software.
12.3 Updates to the Standard Software will be provided free of charge

client from all end devices.

customer area of his customer account.

TeamSpeak expressly reserves the right to delete individual
contributions in the event of a reference to the illegality of a
contribution.

contributions that violate the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany
or the rights of third parties.
14.5 The customer indemnifies TeamSpeak against all rights of third
parties which they may assert against TeamSpeak due to the publication
of contributions on Teamspeak.com by the customer. Subject to the
customer's consent, TeamSpeak will not make any acknowledgements or
other declarations in legal transactions which justify the asserted
claims of the third party.
14.6 The indemnity obligation set forth in Section 14.5 of these GTC
shall not apply if the circumstances justifying the claims of the third
party can be proven to be due to gross negligence or wilful misconduct
on the part of TeamSpeak.
14.7 TeamSpeak undertakes, insofar as the customer's obligation to
indemnify as stipulated in section 14.5 of these GTC is affected, to
inform the customer immediately of any legal action brought against

the customer the opportunity to assume legal defence.
15. Termination of the user account for the forum

anonymized at TeamSpeak's discretion. With the deletion the contract
about the use of the customer account ends.
15.2 TeamSpeak has the right to terminate the contract for the use of
the customer account at any time with three months' notice to the end of
the quarter of a calendar year.

the customer repeatedly violates his obligations under section 14.4 of
these GTC despite a warning and the violation is not insignificant.
15.4 Any notice of termination must be in text form.
16. Publication of Add Ons
16.1 If the customer is registered as a developer, he has the
possibility to upload Add Ons and offer them to third parties for free
download.
16.2 In order to upload Add Ons, the customer clicks the button with the
label "Upload Add Ons" in the customer area of his customer account. The
customer submits the add-ons to be uploaded by him to TeamSpeak by
pressing the button labeled "Add Addon".
16.3 TeamSpeak releases the Add Ons on "MyTeamspeak".
16.4 TeamSpeak does not control the uploaded add-ons prior to
publication. TeamSpeak also expressly reserves the right to delete

that violate the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, the rights of
TeamSpeak or the rights of third parties.

rights asserted against TeamSpeak by the customer due to the publication
of add-ons on myteamspeak.com by the customer. Subject to the customer's
consent, TeamSpeak will not make any acknowledgements or other
declarations in legal transactions which justify the asserted claims of
the third party.

shall not apply if the circumstances justifying the claims of the third
party can be proven to be due to gross negligence or wilful misconduct
on the part of TeamSpeak.
16.8 TeamSpeak undertakes to inform the customer immediately of any
legal action taken against TeamSpeak or the assertion of claims against
TeamSpeak and to give the customer the opportunity to assume legal
defence in the event that the customer's obligation to indemnify is
breached in accordance with Section 16.6 of these General Terms and
Conditions.

account as a developer at any time. For this purpose, the customer sends
the deletion request in text form to TeamSpeak. TeamSpeak will delete
the customer's developer account immediately upon receipt of the

deleted immediately. With the deletion the contract about the use of the
Developer account ends.
17.2 TeamSpeak has the right to terminate the Developer Account
Agreement at any time with three months' notice to the end of the
quarter of a calendar year.
17.3 The right of both parties to extraordinary termination remains
unaffected. A right to extraordinary termination exists in particular if

C. General provisions
18. Warranty
18.1 The statutory warranty rights shall apply to consumers.
18.2 The following provisions shall apply to entrepreneurs:
18.2.1 The customer's warranty rights expire within one year. This shall
not apply to damages culpably caused by TeamSpeak resulting from injury
to life, body or health and damages caused by gross negligence or intent
or fraudulent intent, as well as in the case of recourse claims pursuant
to §§ 478, 479 BGB (German Civil Code).
18.2.2 A warranty by TeamSpeak is excluded if the defect is due to
circumstances caused by TeamSpeak at the express request of the customer.
18.2.3 The strict liability for damages for initial defects according to
§ 536a Abs. 1 BGB is excluded.
19. Liability
19.1 TeamSpeak shall be liable in all cases of contractual and
non-contractual liability for intent and gross negligence in accordance
with the statutory provisions.
19.2 In other cases, TeamSpeak shall be liable - unless otherwise
stipulated in Section 19.1 of these GTC - only in the event of a breach
of a contractual obligation, the fulfilment of which is essential for
the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the
customer may therefore regularly rely (so-called cardinal obligation).
In all other cases, TeamSpeak's liability is excluded subject to the
provision in Section 19.1 of these GTC.
19.3 To the extent that TeamSpeak is liable on the merits pursuant to
clause 19.1 of these GTC, this liability shall be limited to damages
which TeamSpeak foresaw at the time of conclusion of the contract as a
possible consequence of a breach of contract or which TeamSpeak should
have foreseen if it had exercised due care. Furthermore, indirect
damages and consequential damages resulting from deficiencies in
TeamSpeak's performance shall only be eligible for compensation if such
damages are typically to be expected when the performance is used as
intended.
19.4 TeamSpeak's liability for damages resulting from injury to life,
limb or health and under the Product Liability Act shall remain
unaffected by the above limitations and exclusions of liability.
20. Set-off, rights of retention and assignment
20.1 The customer shall only be entitled to offset claims against
TeamSpeak against legally established or undisputed claims. The same
applies to the assertion of rights of retention.

possible with the written consent of TeamSpeak. This applies in
particular to the transfer of the license granted by TeamSpeak to third
parties.

and the customer, including these General Terms and Conditions, must be
made in text form in order to be effective.
21.2 With the exception of managing directors or authorized signatories,
TeamSpeak employees shall not be entitled to enter into any verbal
agreements that deviate from these provisions.
22. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction
22.1 German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of
law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory
provisions of the law of the country of the consumer's habitual
residence is not thereby withdrawn (principle of favourability).
22.2 The place of performance for all services arising from business
relations with TeamSpeak and the place of jurisdiction shall be the
registered office of TeamSpeak, provided that the user is not a consumer
but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under
public law. The same applies if the user does not have a general place
of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the place of residence or
usual abode is not known at the time the action is filed. The right to
also appeal to the court at another legal place of jurisdiction remains
unaffected by this.
22.3 The provisions of the UN Sales Convention expressly do not apply.
