  1. Terms of Contract

You subscribe to the magazine at the applicable subscription price initially for the minimum subscription period, thereafter the subscription shall be renewed on an ongoing basis for a further year at a time. 

The subscription fee is due in advance. In the event of price adjustments during the contract period, the subscription price valid from the time of the adjustment shall be paid; the new price shall apply from the next invoicing. Insofar as prices are not expressly designated as net prices, prices shall be understood as gross prices, which include the applicable statutory value added tax; in the event of a reduction of applicable value added tax rates, Spike shall not be obligated to adjust the gross price.

The minimum subscription period starts with the first month to be paid. If there are interruptions in delivery, the minimum subscription period shall be extended in accordance with the duration of the interruption in delivery. In case of late payment, Spike is entitled to interrupt or stop the delivery.

The reduced subscription price for students can only be granted upon presentation of a valid certificate of enrolment.

The timely processing of subscription, payment type, banking, delivery changes, etc. is only guaranteed if the notification is received by Spike at least 10 calendar days in advance. In case of relocation, Spike must be informed immediately of the subscriber’s new address.
