§ 3 Changes to the GT&Cs

Saloodo! shall notify the Carrier of any other changes to the GT&Cs in text form (e.g. via the Platform or by e-mail), “notification of changes”. The changes shall take effect vis-à-vis the Carrier and the contractual relationship shall continue under the changed conditions if the Carrier does not object to these changes within one (1) week after receiving the notification of changes by means of written notification to Saloodo!. This deadline shall be deemed to have been met so long as the objection is sent to Saloodo! within this time period. Saloodo! shall specifically point out to the Carrier in the notification of changes the above consequences of failure to object.

• 4 Interpretation of terms; Severability of terms; entire agreement; contractual language; no agency.
• If any legislation is compulsorily applicable, the GT&Cs shall, insofar as possible, be construed in accordance with such legislation. If any term is contrary to such legislation, it shall be varied only to the extent necessary to comply with such legislation.
• Should any individual provisions of the GT&Cs be or become ineffective, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The parties undertake in this case to agree on an effective replacement provision which most closely approximates to the ineffective provision or the intended purpose of the ineffective provision. The same shall apply to contractual omissions.
• No verbal side agreements to these GT&Cs have been made.
• Nothing shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agency agreement or partnership between the parties. The Carrier shall have no right or authority to, and shall not, do any act, enter into any contract, make any representation, give any warranty, incur any liability, assume any obligation, whether express or implied, of any kind on behalf of Saloodo! or otherwise bind Saloodo! in any way.
