​By clicking on the "Order for a fee" button, a user makes a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the license (code) displayed in the shopping cart in the form of an order. A prerequisite for the effective submission of such an offer is that the user has full legal capacity. Before ordering, the content of the shopping cart can be checked again and the order can be corrected or changed. As soon as the order has been received by LifeBonus, the user will receive a corresponding confirmation of receipt from LifeBonus via an automatically generated e-mail. This confirmation of receipt does not yet represent acceptance of the offer made with the order to conclude a contract. A contract with LifeBonus is therefore not yet concluded with the confirmation of receipt.

 

​When placing an order in the LifeBonus online shop, the following technical steps are carried out:

 

​Click on the "Checkout" button in the displayed shopping cart; Alternatively, there is the possibility of direct forwarding to PayPal or ApplePay;

  • Step 5: Completion of the order by clicking on the "Order with costs" button. 

A license agreement is only concluded when LifeBonus has expressly declared acceptance of the order or when LifeBonus has provided the license/code. The order can only be accepted by LifeBonus up to the point at which a user can reasonably expect to receive a response from LifeBonus under regular circumstances.

 

​When submitting an offer via the online shop, the text of the contract will be saved by LifeBonus after the contract has been concluded and sent to the user in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the order has been sent. LifeBonus will not make the contract text accessible beyond this.

The provider's range of digital services is generally available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. LifeBonus makes every effort to ensure the proper operation of the Services.

 

​However, given the current state of the art, despite the greatest care and conscientiousness, program errors and systemic faults cannot be ruled out with certainty. In particular, maintenance, security, or capacity issues, as well as events beyond LifeBonus' control (such as disruptions to public communications networks, power outages, acts of God, etc.) may result in loss of use. It is also not possible to use software or services that detect every malicious software (virus, malware, etc.) that is present. Even if the system is running properly, LifeBonus cannot guarantee 100% availability.

 

​The hardware and software used and the technical infrastructure can also have an impact on the range of digital services.

 

​Insofar as such circumstances affect the availability or functionality of the service provided by LifeBonus, this has no effect on the contractual compliance of the services provided.

​

LifeBonus will make changes to the Caregiver App to ensure the provision of the Caregiver App in accordance with the Agreement and updates required to do so.

Such changes will not incur any additional costs for the user.

 

​If such a change leads to a not only insignificant impairment of the user's ability to access the LifeBonus App or the usability of the LifeBonus App by the user, LifeBonus will inform the user of the change in good time before the time of the change. In this case, the user has the right to terminate the contract of use in accordance with Section 327 (3) of the German Civil Code.

​

​

15. Subject to change​

LifeBonus is entitled to change the content of these General Terms and Conditions at any time, insofar as changes that are unforeseeable for LifeBonus and on which LifeBonus has no influence have not caused the equivalence relationship between service and consideration that existed at the time the contract was concluded to be disturbed to a not insignificant extent.

 

​LifeBonus is also entitled to make changes if the change serves to adapt to technical progress or LifeBonus adapts or expands the range of functions of the app for caregivers (e.g. introduces new services, services, applications or functions) and this requires an adaptation of the service description in the General Terms and Conditions if the change is only advantageous for the user or does not result in unreasonable restrictions on the functions used by the user or a comparable alternative function is available.
