2. Subject of contract
2.1. The customer commissions TollScout for the registration of a digital toll product (digital vignette, digital route toll cards) with a toll authority of a specific country. In return, the customer is obligated to pay the fee for the toll product plus a ser-vice fee for the registration to TollScout.

4. Right of withdrawal
4.1. The customer’s right of withdrawal regarding TollScout’s services expires prematurely upon the complete provision of services by TollScout.

5. Order execution
5.1. Upon receipt of payment, TollScout registers the desired toll product with the respective toll authority, providing the customer’s specified vehicle registration number and validity period.

5.2. Once TollScout receives a registration confirmation from the toll authority, Toll-Scout will inform the customer accordingly.
5.3. If the customer wishes to modify the validity period subsequently, and if this is permissible within the terms and conditions of the respective toll authority, TollScout will facilitate the change. The same applies to the exercise of a right of withdrawal or the transfer of the digital toll product from the customer to a third party.

10.2. If the customer’s fault contributes to the occurrence of the damage, the obligation for compensation and the extent of the compensation depend on the circumstances, particularly the extent to which the damage is predominantly caused by the customer or TollScout. This also applies if the customer’s fault is limited to failing to draw TollScout’s attention to the risk of unusually high damage, which TollScout neither knew nor needed to know or if the customer failed to prevent or mitigate the damage.
