    ▪ In the event of a slight­ly negli­gent breach of an essen­ti­al obli­ga­ti­on ari­sing from the con­trac­tu­al obli­ga­ti­on (“car­di­nal obli­ga­ti­on”), medimentum’s lia­bi­li­ty is limi­t­ed to the amount of dama­ge that was fore­seeable at the time the con­tract was con­cluded and typi­cal for the con­tract. “Car­di­nal obli­ga­ti­ons” are tho­se obli­ga­ti­ons, the ful­fill­ment of which makes the pro­per exe­cu­ti­on of the con­tract pos­si­ble in the first place and on the obser­van­ce of which a con­trac­ting par­ty can regu­lar­ly rely;
    ▪ medi­men­tum is not lia­ble for the slight­ly negli­gent breach of non-essen­ti­al obli­ga­ti­ons from the con­trac­tu­al relationship.

9. Blocking of Access / Termination

If the sus­pi­ci­on can be dis­pel­led, the blo­cking will be lifted again, other­wi­se medi­men­tum has an extra­or­di­na­ry right of termination.
  2. Each par­ty has the right to ter­mi­na­te for an important reason. The ter­mi­na­ti­on must be in text form (e.g. by email). When the ter­mi­na­ti­on takes effect, the patient’s access to the medi­men­tum ser­vices will be blocked.

10. Changes / Additions to the Terms of Use

medi­men­tum reser­ves the right to chan­ge the­se gene­ral terms and con­di­ti­ons in who­le or in part at any time in the event of a loopho­le in this agree­ment or in the event of a dis­rup­ti­on in the ori­gi­nal rela­ti­onship bet­ween ser­vice and con­side­ra­ti­on, pro­vi­ded you are not unre­ason­ab­ly dis­ad­van­ta­ged. This is espe­ci­al­ly the case if the chan­ges are wit­hout eco­no­mic dis­ad­van­ta­ges for you, e.g. if the gene­ral terms and con­di­ti­ons are adapt­ed to chan­ged regis­tra­ti­on pro­ce­du­res and chan­ged func­tion­a­li­ties or ser­vices. You will be infor­med of the chan­ges in good time by e‑mail or when you log in befo­re the new gene­ral terms and con­di­ti­ons come into force; in doing so, we keep a reasonable dead­line. If the chan­ges are not accep­ta­ble to you, you can ter­mi­na­te your regis­tra­ti­on at any time. The chan­ges are con­side­red appro­ved if you con­ti­nue to use medi­men­tum domains and sub­do­mains after the chan­ges come into effect. You will be infor­med of the­se legal con­se­quen­ces separately.
