9 Right of Modification

• 9.1 Because we are constantly developing TerraYou, it may be necessary from time to time to adapt these Terms. We therefore reserve the right to change these Terms with effect for the future. You can view Terms at any time at https://terra-you.com/terms.
• 9.2 If you have registered an Account with TerraYou, changes to the Terms can only be made while adhering to the procedure described in the following paragraphs.
  • At least four weeks before the planned effective date of the new version of the Terms, we will inform you about the changes by email. You have four weeks from receipt of the information to familiarize yourself with sthe changes. If you do not agree with them, you can object to the changes within this period.
  • If you object, the contract can be terminated in text form (e-mail sufficient) with a 14 days’ notice period. Otherwise, i.e. if you do not object, the new version of the Terms will apply from the notified effective date.
  • We will inform you about the objection period and the legal consequences of an objection, or the passing of the objection period without objection, in the information about the planned change.
  • If the changes affect essential contractual obligations incumbent upon us or you (i.e. obligations whose fulfilment is essential for the proper execution of the agreement and on whose observance the respective other contractual party may regularly rely), the reservation of the right to make amendments pursuant to this section shall only apply if the changes are reasonable for you, taking into account our interests. This is the case, for example, if we ensure that conditions applicable at the time the change comes into force remain unaffected until such time as you or we could terminate the agreement, or if we are obliged to make the change due to a change in law or a legally binding or provisionally enforceable court or government order.
