In that case, you may terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days of receiving the information or of the change being made, whichever is later. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

12.2 In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for breaches of essential contractual obligations, that is, obligations whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely. In such cases, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

14.2 The current version is available on this page at all times.
15. Governing law and jurisdiction
15.1 Austrian law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the conflict-of-law rules of private international law. If you are a consumer, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence.
15.2 For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply. For businesses, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the court with subject-matter jurisdiction for Villach, Austria.
