12. possibility of change and price adjustment clause

12.1 Reservation of right to make changes: meinDienstplan is entitled to change or amend the GTC, the services offered and the service descriptions with reasonable notice (at least six weeks) if this is objectively justified and reasonable for economic reasons (e.g. increase in employee costs, change in technical framework conditions) or due to changes in case law or legislation. Unless the client proves an unreasonable disadvantage in consideration of the circumstances and interests of meinDienstplan in the form of a written and justified objection at least one week before the changes take effect, neither a right of termination nor other claims shall accrue to the client.

12.2 Price adjustment: It is expressly agreed that the value of the receivables plus ancillary receivables of meinDienstplan shall remain stable. The consumer price index of the respective preceding year published monthly by Statistics Austria or an index replacing it shall serve as a measure for calculating the stable value. The index figure calculated for the month of the conclusion of the contract serves as the reference figure for the contract existing between meinDienstplan and the client. The fluctuation of this index figure shall form the basis for the new determination of the claim amount. All rates of change shall be calculated to one decimal place.

13. naming as reference

13.1 The client agrees to the naming of its company name as a reference on the website or in other documents or in any other externally effective communication by meinDienstplan. This also includes the use of the corresponding company logo.

13.2 The Customer may object to this use for the future at any time and without stating reasons. There shall be no claim to destruction of advertising material already produced and/or circulated. The legality of the (company) name or logo used until then shall not be affected by the revocation.
