5.1.3 The term of the contract is twelve months, unless a different term has been contractually agreed (hereinafter “Regular Contract Term”). The contract shall be automatically extended for the term of the Regular Contract Term, unless terminated by a contracting party with a notice period of 30 days to the end of the respective contract.

The removal of the Tapper-code is to be regarded as incomplete, among other things, if data is still transmitted from the Customer’s presences to the Tapper servers.
5.2 The following section applies to all other customers:
5.2.1 The presentation of the service on the Internet does not constitute an offer, but only an invitation to submit an offer. Tapper can declare acceptance within 24 hours either by written order confirmation (e-mail is sufficient) or by providing the service to the customer. In the latter case, the customer waives the receipt of the declaration of acceptance. Only through this acceptance, the contract between the customer and Tapper is concluded. Tapper is not obliged to accept the offer.
5.2.2 The contract is concluded by booking a package under Tapper.ai. The Customer can select a package on the Tapper.ai website or in his already created Tapper account. The order of a package is considered as a binding offer of the customer to conclude a contract with costs for the selected Tapper package, which may be accepted by Tapper in accordance with clause 5.2.1. To order a package, it is necessary for the customer to enter his billing and payment information.
5.2.3 The term of the contract and, accordingly, the billing shall begin upon setup, i.e. the time at which the Tapper Code is provided. Tapper-Code means the code provided by Tapper, which is integrated into the Customer presence and carries out the data transfer to the Tapper servers.

The term of the contract is one month for the monthly billed plans and twelve month for the yearly billed plans (hereinafter “Regular Contract Term”), unless a different term has been contractually agreed. The contract shall be automatically extended for the term of the Regular Contract Term, unless terminated by a contracting party with a notice period of 3 weeks to the end of the respective contract.

7. FEES
7.1 The following section exclusively applies to Enterprise customers:
7.1.2 The fees for the services used by the Customer are determined by the signed contract offer or completed online contract offer. Unless otherwise stated, the prices are annual net prices in US Dollars and are additional to any applicable statutory sales tax.
7.1.2 The calculation of the base fee to be paid by the customer results from the contract offer or completed online contract offer. The basis for the calculation of the base fee is the sum of the protected visits per year on the customer presences, as described in the contract offer. At the time the contract is concluded, the expected number of protected visits is estimated. The Customer shall provide Tapper with the information necessary for calculating the base fee. Tapper reserves the right to check the Customer’s information on the protected visits and, in the event of deviations, to use the measured protected visits as the basis for calculating the base fee. The verification shall be carried out by counting the protected visits by using the Tapper service e.g. the free trial version of Tapper. The resulting base fee, for the entire contract year, is payable in advance. Payment must be made within 30 days of the invoice date.
7.1.3 At the end of the expired contract year, the base fee will be recalculated based on the actual number of protected vists in the expired contract year. There will be no repayment for overestimated calculations. The evaluation of the actual annual protected visits shall be made available no later than seven working days after the end of the respective billing period. Should this not be done, Tapper shall be entitled to use the data from the Tapper service as the basis for invoicing. In this context, the Customer may provide the data up to 30 days after invoicing and thus correct the calculation by the actual accesses. Individual contractual provisions shall take precedence over these.
7.1.4 The resulting base fee, for the entire contract year, is payable in advance.
7.1.5 Payment is due 30 days after the invoice date. The invoice amount must therefore be credited to the Tapper account within 30 days of the invoice date. Tapper is entitled to send the invoice in the form of an email or to upload the invoice into the respective Tapper account.
7.1.6 Fees that we are unable to recover through the payment method is deemed an overdue Fee. Failure to settle any overdue Fee within thirty (30) calendar days of its original due date will constitute a material breach of these Terms.

You will reimburse us for all legal costs and attorney fees we incur in the course of collecting your overdue Fees.
