    • The licensee can terminate the contract relationship regarding individual content that they provide without notice. Such a termination has no impact on the Feelplex membership status. It does, however, result in the termination of the licensee’s rights listed under 3.1. Rights of use already granted and rights of use covering editing or adapting content remain unaffected. The licensee will remove the terminated content from the Feelplex platform immediately or within six weeks after receiving the termination notice at the latest.

The licensor is obliged to return the mistakenly credited amount to the licensee and to inform the licensee immediately of any discrepancies in the amounts credited to the user account.
    • The licensor can request payout of remuneration if the amount in the user account exceeds EUR 20.00. Payouts are made exclusively via bank transfers. The licensor is solely responsible for bank fees charged to foreign accounts of the licensor.
