Furthermore, the General Terms and Conditions may be adapted insofar as this is necessary for the elimination of not negligible difficulties in the execution of the contract due to regulatory gaps arising after the conclusion of the contract. This may be the case, in particular, if the case law for the effectiveness of the stipulations of these General Terms and Conditions changes, if one or more stipulations of these General Terms and Conditions are declared ineffective by the case law, or if a legislative change leads to the ineffectiveness of one or more stipulations of these General Terms and Conditions.
(2) Changes to the General Terms and Conditions pursuant to clause 1 shall be communicated to the customer in writing at least six weeks before the intended effective date. When changes are not exclusively in the customer’s favor, the customer has the right to terminate the contract in writing (e.g. by post or e-mail) without adhering to a notice period up until the time the changes come into effect. The customer will be specifically informed of this in the change notification.

The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. The same applies to gaps or omissions in these GTCB.
