    3. Place of fulfillment – The place of fulfillment for the mutual services from the usage relationship is the seat of ONDEWO GmbH specified in the provider identification (imprint on the ONDEWO website). If the user is a merchant within the meaning of the Commercial Code, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law or if there is no general place of jurisdiction in the Republic of Austria, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes in connection with the use of ONDEWO is also the one in the provider identification ( Legal notice on the ONDEWO website) stated seat of ONDEWO GmbH.

Users will be informed of such changes by email or text message via connected social networks (e.g. Facebook Messenger) 21 calendar days before the changes are planned to take effect. Every user can object to the changes in writing or in text form (e.g. by email) within 21 days of receiving the information. If there is no objection and the user continues to use ONDEWO after the objection period has expired, or if the user agrees to the changes in advance, the changed provisions will take effect. The posting of an inquiry, an offer or an evaluation comment as well as any other active use of ONDEWO functions with the exception of a mere contact by the member after receiving the information about the intended changes to the terms and conditions also counts as consent. When providing this information, ONDEWO GmbH will inform users of the aforementioned deadline and the legal consequences of its expiry if the option to object is not taken. If the user objects in writing or in text form in due time, the user contract will be continued under the previous conditions. The contractual rights of the parties to terminate the user contract remain unaffected.

The parties to the user relationship will replace the ineffective provision with one that comes closest to the will of the contractual partner in economic terms. In the case of loopholes, this applies accordingly.
