- Scheduled maintenance
- System upgrades

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any contractual relationship between the customer and Vertical Farming Directory shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Updated Terms will be published on the website and become effective upon publication unless otherwise stated.

13. No Refund Policy
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all payments are non-refundable.
This applies in particular to subscription fees, activation fees, and any services that have been made available or delivered.
