3.2 Prices
Current pricing is displayed inside the application. All prices stated include applicable VAT.
4. Conclusion of a Contract
How the respective contract is formed depends on the method by which you register for Productlane for the first time and whether you sign up for additional fee-based services.
5. Term of Validity
5.1 User Contract
The user contract concluded once you register your account is valid for an indefinite period. You need to create an account to sign up for the premium service of Productlane. The services provided and their validity depend on the validity period of the account and the provided payment.
5.2 Subscriptions
Our subscriptions are offered with varying minimum terms of validity and are automatically renewed for the same minimum term until you or we cancel them. The term of a subscription is determined by calendar and is independent of your use or extent of use.

Fees are collected when the contract is concluded for purchases of additional services through a one-off payment. The fee is collected for the relevant minimum term when the contract is concluded for a subscription. If the subscription is renewed automatically, the fee is collected in advance at the start of the renewal period. Different terms apply if the fee is collected via iTunes.
6.2 Payment Default
We reserve the right to assert further claims for late payments.

If you purchase Productlane services for a fee via in-app purchases, the respective app-store supplier will bill you.
