Material contractual obligations are imposed by the contract on the provider to achieve the purposes of the contract, which in turn constitute the proper execution of the contract in the first place which users can expect to occur regualrly.

The above limitations apply to the legal representatives and agents of NaemRobot.

NameRobot retains the right to terminate the contract with due notice if users refuse to accept new terms and conditions. Any amendments shall be deemed accepted and binding if the user consents to the amendment or does not object in writing within four weeks of the amendment being comminicated.

If the user is a merchant, a legal person or the agent of a public fund as defined by law, the exclusive jurisdiction for any disputes arising from this contract is that of the court of Solingen. The same applies if the user is not within general jurisdiction of the German courts or of their European equivalents, or if the place of residence or their usual location is not known at the time at which legal action begins. The power to call the court to another legally binding jurisdiction remains unaffected by this provision.
