You always interact with AI systems, not with human staff. This notice is provided in compliance with the transparency obligations of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (EU AI Act). AI-generated content (texts, translations, other outputs) may be marked as AI-generated. Further details can be found in the respective feature view within the application.

9.3 Subscription Renewal and Cancellation
Subscriptions automatically renew for the respective booked period (monthly or annually) unless cancelled before the end of the current billing period via the user account. After cancellation, access remains until the end of the already paid period.
9.4 Refunds

9.5 Late Payment
In the event of late payment, Flexling reserves the right to suspend access to paid features until the outstanding amount has been settled.

10.2 Flexling reserves the right to adjust, expand, or restrict the scope of the Services, provided this is reasonable for the User and does not constitute a material deterioration for ongoing paid subscriptions. In the event of restrictions to the scope of paid subscriptions, the User will be notified at least four weeks in advance.

11.1 Flexling is fully liable for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence.

12. Data Protection
The protection of your personal data is important to us. For details, please refer to our Privacy Policy: https://flexling.com/legal/privacy

13.4 After termination, the User's data will be deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
14. Amendments to These Terms
14.1 Flexling reserves the right to amend these Terms with effect for the future, insofar as this is necessary to adapt to changed legal or regulatory requirements or to clarify existing provisions, and no material change to the main contractual obligations occurs.
14.2 Amendments affecting the main contractual obligations or material contractual terms will only become effective with the User's express consent. The User will be separately requested to provide such consent.
14.3 In the event of any amendment under Section 14.1, the User is entitled to terminate the contract extraordinarily as of the date the amended Terms take effect.

In the case of paid subscriptions, a pro-rata refund for the unused period will be provided in the event of such termination.
15. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
15.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

15.3 For consumers, jurisdiction is determined by the statutory provisions.
16. Dispute Resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
Flexling is not obligated and generally not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. This notice is provided pursuant to Section 36(1) of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG).
17. Severability Clause
Should any provision of these Terms be or become wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by the statutory regulation (Section 306 BGB).
18. Miscellaneous
18.1 These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the User and Flexling and supersede all prior agreements.
18.2 Flexling is entitled to transfer rights and obligations under this contractual relationship to a legal successor.
