If longer periods of temporary disruptions or restrictions of services are necessary, SEOshop shall inform Licensee in advance of the nature, the scope and the duration of the hindrance, insofar such is objectively possible under the given circumstances and the notification does not cause further delay to the removal of already occurred disruptions.
8.2 The choice of technical infrastructure is at the discretion of SEOshop. It can replace the used infrastructure, backbones, services of third parties/suppliers as well as hardware and software at all times. The use of a particular infrastructure, backbones, services of third parties/suppliers or particular hardware and software only applies as a component of the agreement, if such is explicitly mentioned in the description of the services.

Article 9 Domain registration
9.1 Regarding the registration of the domain the agreement is effected directly between Licensee and the granting authority or the registrar. SEOshop orders the registration of domains in the context of an agreement for provision of services for the benefit of Licensee, insofar SEOshop itself is not registrar for the concerned top level domain (TLD).

10.4 Licensee must make back-ups on other data carriers of all data that it sends to SEOshop servers, which are not present at SEOshop. In case of loss of data, Licensee shall again transfer the data files concerned to the server of SEOshop free of charge.

If SEOshop, as a result of these limitations or impediments or other forms of force majeure, is impeded with complying with the agreement, it is entitled to suspend the carrying out of the agreement. The Licensee has in that case no right to damage, costs or interest compensation.
12.2 Limitations, impediments or force majeur includes the following: technical terms and conditions of the Internet beyond the influence of SEOshop, impediments as a result of the hardware and software that Licensee uses or caused by the technical infrastructure it uses, disruptions to the electricity provision, strikes, fire, accident or staff illnesses, unforeseen problems by SEOshop and every other circumstance that is not exclusively dependent on the will of SEOshop.
