2.2 The scope of features is described on our website at the time of booking. We may further develop, change or replace features, provided that the core functionality of the Service is maintained and the change is reasonable for the customer.

3. Account Registration
3.1 Use of the Service requires a user account. The customer must provide accurate and complete information and keep it up to date.

7. Term and Termination
7.1 Subscriptions run for the selected billing period and renew automatically for the same period unless cancelled before the end of the current period.
7.2 The customer can cancel at any time via the account settings or by email to seo@gsc-plus.com, effective at the end of the current billing period. Fees already paid are not refunded.
7.3 The right of either party to terminate for good cause remains unaffected. Good cause for us exists in particular if the customer materially breaches these Terms.
8. Acceptable Use
The customer must not:
- use the Service in violation of applicable law or third-party rights;
- connect Search Console properties they are not authorized to access;
- interfere with, overload or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure;
- reverse engineer, decompile or copy the software, except where permitted by law;
- resell, sublicense or provide the Service to third parties as a standalone product without our prior written consent;
- use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the Service outside the intended functionality.
9. Customer Data
9.1 All data retrieved from the customer’s Google Search Console account and all content entered by the customer (e.g. brand terms, keyword lists, URL groups) remain the customer’s property.
9.2 We use customer data solely to provide the Service. Details are set out in our Privacy Policy.
9.3 Where we process personal data on behalf of the customer, the parties will conclude a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR on request.
10. Intellectual Property
10.1 All rights to the Service, including software, design, texts and trademarks, remain with GSC PLUS or its licensors.
10.2 For the term of the contract, the customer receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for their own business purposes in accordance with these Terms. Data exports may be used freely by the customer.
11. Availability
11.1 We aim for high availability of the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, updates, security measures and circumstances beyond our control (e.g. outages of Google APIs or hosting providers) may lead to temporary interruptions.
11.2 We will announce planned maintenance in advance where reasonably possible.
12. Warranty
12.1 Analyses and reports are based on data provided by Google. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of this data.
12.2 The Service is a tool to support SEO work. The customer is solely responsible for decisions taken based on the results.
13. Liability
13.1 We are liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and in the case of a guarantee assumed.
13.2 In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the customer may regularly rely). In this case, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.
13.3 Liability for slight negligence is otherwise excluded. In particular, we are not liable for lost profits or indirect damages, to the extent permitted by law.
13.4 The customer is responsible for regularly backing up their own data. Our liability for loss of data is limited to the effort required to restore it had regular backups been made.
13.5 The above limitations also apply in favour of our employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
14. Changes to These Terms
14.1 We may amend these Terms for valid reasons, such as changes in law, case law or the Service. We will notify the customer of changes by email at least 30 days before they take effect.
14.2 If the customer does not object within this period, the changes are deemed accepted. We will point out the right to object and the consequences of silence in the notification. In the event of an objection, either party may terminate the contract as of the date the changes take effect.
15. Final Provisions
15.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
15.2 If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is Hamburg, Germany. We remain entitled to sue the customer at their general place of jurisdiction.
15.3 Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
15.4 These Terms are drafted in English. In case of translations, the English version prevails.
