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.

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 TeamSpeak or of any assertion of claims against TeamSpeak and to give the customer the opportunity to assume legal defence. 15. Termination of the user account for the forum 15.1 The customer has the option to have TeamSpeak delete his customer account at any time.

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 individual add-ons in the event of a reference to the illegality of an add-on. 16.5 The customer undertakes not to publish any add-ons to TeamSpeak that violate the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, the rights of TeamSpeak or the rights of third parties. 16.6 The customer shall indemnify TeamSpeak against all third party 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. 16.7 The indemnity obligation set forth in Section 16.6 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. 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. 17. Termination of the customer account as developer 17.1 The customer has the option of having TeamSpeak delete his customer 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 termination notice. Add-ons published by the customer will also be 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 the customer repeatedly violates his obligations under section 16.5 of these GTC despite a warning and the violation is not insignificant. 17.4 Any notice of termination must be given in writing. 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. 20.2 The assignment of claims against TeamSpeak to third parties is only possible with the written consent of TeamSpeak. This applies in particular to the transfer of the license granted by TeamSpeak to third parties. 21. Text form 21.1 Amendments and alterations to the agreements made between TeamSpeak 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. II.
