10. Payment

As a registrated user you have the right to use the Service for the 3 (in words: three) free business model analyses of airbnb, Google (Alphabet) and Amazon Retail without any associated cost or subscription.

Subscriptions for the access to all business model analyses and all functions of the website and web application of Business Model Ideas are paid quarterly or annually.

By registering for a paid Subscription either quarterly or annually, you are authorized to be granted access to the Business Model Ideas Premium Service immediately. The payment you made to Business Model Ideas will be renewed automatically at the end of the quarter or annual subscription period, unless you cancel the Subscription paid through the account setting page before the end of the current subscription period.

If you wish to receive the digital invoices of the amounts paid, you can find them at the account setting page under your profile (billing portal).

Business Model Ideas may periodically modify the price of Subscriptions paid, the advance payment period (for periods that have not yet been paid) or the Codes, and inform you of any changes made in the prices in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. The price changes for the paid Subscriptions will take effect at the beginning of the next subscription period after the date on which the price change was made.

To the extent permitted by local law, if you continue to use the Business Model Ideas service after the price change takes effect, it will constitute an acceptance of the new price. If you do not agree with the price change, you have the right to refuse the change and cancel the subscription to the Business Model Ideas service before the price change takes effect. Therefore, be sure to read the price change notification carefully.

Discount codes or any other form of price reduction are always valid for only one payment period. Automatic renewal of subscriptions does not entitle you to continued discounting. This means that from the second payment period onwards, the full price for the respective billing period will be charged.

11. Revocation

Since Business Model Ideas is a digital product, a user's right of revocation expires upon receipt of access to the premium content. By signing up for the premium subscription, the user expressly agrees that Business Model Ideas will begin executing the contract before the expiration of the revocation period and the user has confirmed his knowledge of the GTC that by agreeing to this, he loses his right of revocation upon commencement of the execution of the subscription.

In the case of a contract for the provision of services, the following shall apply: If the user has requested that the services begin during the revocation period, the user shall pay Business Model Ideas a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided up to the time the user notifies Business Model Ideas of the exercise of the right of revocation with respect to this contract, compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.

Business Model Ideas reserves the right to suspend your access to the Business Model Ideas service at any time for any reason, including unauthorized use of the Business Model Ideas service or its content, whether actual or alleged, or a breach of the Terms of Service.
