specified in the Individual Contract.

the right to amend or supplement these Terms with effect for the future.

notifying the Customer of the content of the amended or supplemented
provisions in text form (e.g. by email or by notification when logging onto

of objection and the aforementioned legal consequences of not responding.

prerequisites for access to the SaaS Services in its own area, at its own
expense and risk.

provision. Carbonwize shall inform the Customer about any discontinuation of
the free services.

changes in order to adapt the Platform and SaaS Services to the state of the
art, changes for optimisation purposes (in particular to enhance
user-friendliness), as well as changes to content, insofar as the latter are
necessary to correct errors, for updating and completing content, for
technically optimizing programs or for licensing reasons. If such a change
leads to a not only insignificant devaluation of the Contractual Services,
the Customer shall be entitled to either demand a reduction of the
remuneration in line with the devaluation or terminate the Contract without
notice. This right of termination may be exercised within a period of eight
weeks from the occurrence of the change.

(ii) for the
Customer’s internal business purposes. The Customer is responsible for
all activities undertaken through its Authorized Users’ accounts and
must ensure that all Users comply with these Terms.

credentials or enabling access to unauthorized third parties is strictly
prohibited. Customer must notify Carbonwize without undue delay of any
suspected or actual misuse of credentials. Carbonwize reserves the right to
suspend or revoke access if misuse is suspected and may reset credentials
for security reasons, with prior notice where practicable. This does not
affect Carbonwize’s right to seek damages or other legal remedies.
