The recipient of the service is a subscriber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word <strong>subscription<\/strong> originally comes from French and has been used since the 18th century: <em>&#8220;s&#8217;abonner \u00e0 quelque chose&#8221;<\/em> can be translated <em>as ordering a recurring service.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"abonnements-als-gegenstand-des-rechtlichen\">Subscriptions as a legal subject<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Subscriptions have recently spread into many areas of our lives. Thus, it is not surprising that subscriptions have also been considered from a legal point of view. A subscription is therefore often defined as a <a href=\"https:\/\/wirtschaftslexikon.gabler.de\/definition\/abonnement-27501\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>\u201evertraglich gesichertes Anrecht auf Bezug gleichartiger Leistungen f\u00fcr eine bestimmte Zeit\u201c.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"deine-aufgaben-bei-uns\">Subscription term, subscription cancellation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A subscription can not only be concluded for a certain period of time. Limiting the duration with an active revocation is also possible, i.e., <strong>canceling a subscription.<\/strong> However, German legislation provides a maximum duration of 24 months for subscription contracts. There is also a maximum term for tacit renewals of 12 months. The maximum <strong>notice period<\/strong> is 3 months to the end of the subscription term taken out. These provisions, which must also be explained within the GTCs, are set out in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dejure.org\/gesetze\/BGB\/309.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>\u00a7 309 Nr. 9 BGB<\/strong><\/a> of the German Civil Code (Laufzeit bei Dauerschuldverh\u00e4ltnissen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dauerkarte-ist-auch-ein-abo\">The season ticket is also a subscription<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A special legal feature is a distinction between a season ticket and a subscription. The validity period of this is a period firmly defined at the performance; in soccer, this is, for example, a season. After the season, the card is not automatically renewed. The season ticket also allows access or entry to a service, but not the direct purchase of it. It should be emphasized that subscriptions also pay for more extensive services, such as service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hausturgeschaft-als-abo-falle\">Doorstep selling is a subscription trap.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, subscriptions have also acquired a negative connotation. This is sometimes the case with the so-called pushers: People not interested in taking out subscriptions are coerced by them at the front door into taking out a subscription. They often use psychological pressure and other unfair sales tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such transactions were previously also referred to as doorstep selling. Under German law, these contracts can be revoked within 14 days in accordance with \u00a7 312g of the German Civil Code (BGB).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"deine-aufgaben-bei-uns\">Subscriptions in e-commerce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the point of view of industry and commerce, the subscription sales channel has many advantages. First and foremost, it guarantees regular and predictable sales. It can also offer customers price advantages. As a rule, subscriptions are comparatively cheaper than individual services. Many companies also provide additional benefits such as bonuses, discounts, and special promotions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"compay-gmbh-abo-management\">Compay GmbH Subscription Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration of subscription customers, contract terms, and payment management are extensive tasks specialized companies offer, for example. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dienstleisterverzeichnis.com\/compay-gmbh\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Compay GmbH<\/strong><\/a> has been a reliable service provider for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dienstleisterverzeichnis.com\/blog\/zahlungsabwicklung\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Zahlungsabwicklungen<\/strong><\/a> online for many years.
