These are essential obligations, the breach of which jeopardises the fulfilment of the purpose of the contract, as well as all obligations, the fulfilment of which is a precondition for the proper performance of the contract when using the website/application and on the observance of which you can regularly rely. Insofar as the breach of an essential contractual obligation was only slightly negligent and did not result in injury to life, body or health, the amount of claims for damages is limited to the reasonably foreseeable damage.
14.2 In addition, subject to final judgement by the competent legal authorities, we may be liable to reimburse costs and damages in accordance with the applicable legal provisions in the following cases:
- for losses caused by culpable injury to life, body or health,
- to the extent of any warranty assumed,

14.6. We are not responsible for the performance of a third party service or its quality, even if they are booked / accessible via allyz.
15. ACCESSIBILITY
We always endeavour to ensure that allyz is available without interruption and that transmissions are error-free. However, due to the nature of the Internet, this cannot be guaranteed. In addition, your access to allyz may occasionally be interrupted or limited to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services. We will attempt to limit the frequency and duration of any such temporary interruption or restriction.
In any event, we will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the temporary suspension or loss of access to allyz or any individual component of allyz, for any reason whatsoever.
The provisions relating to liability set out in Article 14 of these TOU remain unaffected by the provisions of this Article 15.

Any failure by us to enforce any of our rights or remedies under these TOU or otherwise shall not be construed as a waiver by us of any such rights or remedies.
18. DURATION AND CLOSURE OF THE ACCOUNT
18.1 Duration
Once the registration process has been completed, a contract for the use of allyz is considered to have been concluded. How long your account remains active depends on your status:
a) For allyz members :
Once created, your account will be active for as long as you keep it active, by logging in to it, in accordance with the rules described in these Terms of Use.
b) For allyz plus members :
If you become an allyz plus member as a result of taking out an Allianz Travel insurance policy or promotional campaign, your allyz plus membership will be active for the duration determined and communicated by the relevant promotional campaign, or will be active from the start date of your travel insurance policy until its end date, after you have requested activation of your account. Once the relevant promotional campaign has ended, if you are not eligible for any other applicable promotion or promotional campaign and/or if you do not have a current eligible insurance policy in accordance with the paragraph above, or if you do not subscribe to this status via paid membership, your allyz plus membership will end and you will become an allyz member, subject to the applicable terms and conditions set out in these TOU.
If you become an allyz plus member via paid membership, the term of membership is valid for the period specified at the time of joining. Once the term has expired, if you are not eligible for any other applicable promotional campaign and/or if you do not have a current eligible insurance policy in accordance with the paragraph above, or if you do not renew your paid membership, your allyz plus membership will terminate and you will become an allyz member, subject to the applicable terms and conditions set out in these TOS.
18.2 Termination of contract
a) You can cancel your allyz membership at any time without giving any reason.
Account closure: You may close your account at any time by notifying us. You can do this by contacting us using the contact form: Contact us , or by going to your account and changing your membership settings. Do you need help? Contact us | Allyz - Allianz or Need help? Contact us at allyz.
The consequences of such closure will mean that you will no longer be able to access your allyz account and associated online services; however, where you have booked services via your allyz account, these will be performed, subject to the validity of your service contract with the external provider.
b) Right of termination: We are entitled to close your account and therefore terminate the contract relating to the allyz "Benefits Programme" without giving any particular reason , but not before the end of your allyz plus member term. In this case, we will give you at least thirty (30) days' notice.
c) In any event, your allyz account may be closed with immediate effect if there is good cause, i.e. if the person giving notice cannot reasonably be expected to continue the contractual relationship until the notice period has expired, taking into account all the circumstances of the individual case and weighing up the interests of both parties. § Section 314 BGB [2] applies accordingly. Allianz is deemed to have good cause, in particular if :
i. Contrary to your assertions, you are not yet 18;
ii. You are in serious breach of your contractual obligations under these TOU, in particular if there is a suspicion of misuse of the website/application;
iii. You are in breach of the prohibition on transfer in accordance with Article 6 of the TOU;
iv. You breach any legal or contractual provisions in the performance of your payment obligations.
d) Your account will not be deleted until all services have been definitively paid for and carried out.
18.3. Inactive and non-activated accounts
a) Inactive accounts: If you do not log in to your account and it therefore becomes inactive for two (2) years, we will send you a communication to remind you of this inactivity and give you the opportunity to reactivate your account. If you do not reactivate your account, your account will be closed within six (6) months of the date of dispatch of the communication.
b) Accounts not activated: when you register with allyz, you will receive a confirmation link that allows you to activate your account. If you do not activate your account immediately by clicking on the link provided, you have fifteen (15) days to do so. You will receive reminders during this period.

[2] § 314
Termination of continuing obligations for cause
(1) Either party may terminate a continuing obligation for cause without notice. A material reason exists if the terminating party cannot reasonably be expected, having regard to all the circumstances of the particular case and weighing up the interests of both parties, to continue the contractual relationship until the agreed termination or until the expiry of a period of notice.
(2) If the important reason is the breach of a contractual obligation, termination shall only be permitted after the unsuccessful expiry of a remedy period or after an unsuccessful warning. Article 323(2)(1) and (2) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the setting of a time-limit for the remedy and to the issuing of a warning. The setting of a time limit for the remedy and the giving of a warning shall also be dispensable if there are special circumstances which, after weighing up the interests of both parties, justify immediate termination.
(3) The beneficiary may only terminate the contract within a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of the reason for termination.
(4) The right to claim damages is not excluded by termination.
