Example:

• Subscription Start: January 15, 2026 (monthly)
• First Charge: January 15, 2026
• Second Charge: February 15, 2026 (automatic)
• Cancellation Deadline: February 14, 2026, 11:59 PM (to prevent March 15 charge)

4.4 Price Changes

The Provider reserves the right to change prices with 30 days' notice. Existing subscriptions are only affected by price increases after the current billing period ends. Users have the right to cancel in this case.

4.5 Plan Changes and Quotas

4.5.1 Monthly Quotas and Reset

Each subscription includes monthly usage quotas for various AI features:

Pro Plan:

• Video Analysis: 100 analyses/month
• Viral Score Predictor: 100 predictions/month
• Trending Hashtag Generator: 100 generations/month
• AI Optimizations: 100 optimizations/month

Enterprise Plan:

• Video Analysis: 300 analyses/month
• Viral Score Predictor: 300 predictions/month
• Trending Hashtag Generator: 300 generations/month
• AI Optimizations: 300 optimizations/month

Important Rules:

• Quotas reset on the first day of each billing period
• Unused quotas expire and are not carried over to the next month (Exception: Credits from downgrade, see 4.5.4)
• Exceeding quotas prevents further use of that feature until the next billing period
• Upgrading to a higher plan provides immediate access to higher quotas

4.5.2 Upgrade to a Higher Plan

Users can upgrade to a higher plan at any time through the Platform (Subscription Management section).

Upgrade Process:

1. User selects the desired higher plan
2. Price difference is calculated pro-rata for the remaining time in the current billing period
3. User pays only the difference for remaining days
4. Higher quotas become immediately available
5. Next billing period begins on the original date with the new plan

Calculation Example:

• Current Plan: Pro (monthly) at $43.00 USD
• Upgrade to: Enterprise (monthly) at $108.00 USD
• Upgrade on: Day 15 of billing period (30 days)
• Remaining Days: 15 days
• Already paid for remaining days: ($43.00 USD / 30 days) × 15 days = $21.50 USD
• Cost for Enterprise for remaining days: ($108.00 USD / 30 days) × 15 days = $54.00 USD
• Difference to Pay: $54.00 USD - $21.50 USD = $32.50 USD

4.5.3 Downgrade to a Lower Plan

Users can downgrade to a lower plan at any time through the Platform (Subscription Management section).

Downgrade Process:

1. User selects the desired lower plan
2. Downgrade becomes effective at the end of the current billing period
3. Until the end of the current billing period, user can continue using the higher plan's quotas
4. Excess usage (analyses exceeding the lower plan's quota) are transferred as Credits to the next month (see 4.5.4)
5. No refund is issued for the price difference in the current billing period

Example:

• Current Plan: Enterprise (monthly) with 300 analyses/month
• Downgrade to: Pro (monthly) with 100 analyses/month
• Analyses used in current month: 150 analyses
• Downgrade requested on: Day 20 of billing period
• Until month end: Continue accessing Enterprise quotas (300 analyses)
• Next month: Pro plan with 100 analyses + 50 Credits = 150 analyses available

4.5.4 Credits System on Downgrade

Definition: Credits are excess usage from the previous plan that are transferred to the next billing period when downgrading.

Credit Calculation: Credits are only granted if the user used more analyses in the last month of the higher plan than the lower plan's quota allows.

Formula:

Credits = Analyses Used Last Month - New Plan Quota

Examples:

Example 1: Credits Granted

• Old Plan: Enterprise (300 analyses/month)
• New Plan: Pro (100 analyses/month)
• Analyses used last month: 150 analyses
• Credits: 150 - 100 = 50 Credits
• Available analyses next month: 100 + 50 = 150 analyses

Example 2: No Credits

• Old Plan: Enterprise (300 analyses/month)
• New Plan: Pro (100 analyses/month)
• Analyses used last month: 80 analyses
• Credits: 0 (since 80 < 100)
• Available analyses next month: 100 analyses

Important Rules:

• Credits are valid only for the next billing period and expire after
• Credits are automatically added to the new plan's quota
• Credits cannot be paid out or transferred to other users
• Credits apply only to the same feature (e.g., Video Analysis credits only for Video Analysis)

4.5.5 Switching Between Monthly and Quarterly Billing

Users can switch between monthly (1 month) and quarterly (3 months) billing at any time.

Process:

1. Switch becomes effective at the end of the current billing period
2. Current terms apply until the end of the current billing period
3. New billing mode applies starting the next billing period
4. Quarterly subscriptions offer approximately 8-10% discount compared to monthly billing

Example:

• Current Subscription: Pro (monthly) at $43.00 USD/month
• Switch to: Pro (3 months) at $117.00 USD/3 months (equals $39.00 USD/month)
• Savings: $4.00 USD/month (approximately 9% discount)

4.5.6 Reactivation After Cancellation

Users who have canceled their subscription can reactivate it at any time through the Platform (Subscription Management section).

Process:

1. User selects a new plan
2. Reactivation occurs immediately after successful payment
3. Quotas are available starting from reactivation time
4. Analysis histories and stored data are restored if still within the 30-day retention period (see Section 6.4)
5. After 30 days, data is permanently deleted and cannot be restored

---

5. Right of Withdrawal for Consumers

5.1 Withdrawal Notice

Consumers (natural persons concluding a legal transaction for purposes not related to their commercial or professional activity) have a statutory right of withdrawal under § 312g BGB.

Right of Withdrawal:

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of contract conclusion.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Sinan Akkaya, Wassergasse 6, 95460 Bad Berneck, Email: [email protected]) of your decision to withdraw using a clear statement (e.g., by email).

Consequences of Withdrawal:

If you withdraw from this contract, we will refund all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the date we receive notice of your withdrawal. We will use the same payment method you used for the original transaction unless otherwise agreed.

5.2 Early Termination of Withdrawal Right

The right of withdrawal expires for a service contract if the Provider has fully performed the service and only began performance after the consumer gave explicit consent and confirmed knowledge that they lose the right of withdrawal upon full service performance (§ 356 Abs. 4 BGB).

Practical Implementation:

When concluding a subscription, users are asked to confirm via checkbox:

☐ I explicitly consent that LariVid begins service delivery immediately after contract conclusion. I acknowledge that by giving this consent, I lose my right of withdrawal once LariVid has fully performed the service.

By checking this box, the consumer waives the right of withdrawal once platform access is activated and the service is fully available.

5.3 Value Compensation for Early Withdrawal

If the consumer withdraws while the service has been partially performed (e.g., video analyses completed), they must pay compensation for services rendered (§ 357 Abs. 8 BGB).

Compensation Calculation:

• Monthly Subscription: (Subscription Price / 30 Days) × Days Used
• Quarterly Subscription: (Subscription Price / 90 Days) × Days Used

Example:

• Subscription: Pro (monthly) at $43.00 USD
• Withdrawal after 7 days
• Compensation: ($43.00 USD / 30 days) × 7 days = $10.03 USD
• Refund: $43.00 USD - $10.03 USD = $32.97 USD

6. Cancellation and Contract Termination

6.1 Regular Cancellation by User

Users can cancel their subscription at any time through the Platform (Subscription Management section) or by email. Cancellation becomes effective at the end of the current billing period.

The Provider can cancel the subscription with 30 days' notice at the end of a month. In this case, the user receives a pro-rata refund for unused days.
