In addition, an amendment to the agreement may change the originally stated term of execution.

4.9 If, other than as a result of a change in the agreement, the price increase exceeds 10% and takes place within three months of the agreement being concluded, the customer is entitled to dissolve the agreement by means of a written statement, unless WiredWorkers is still prepared to perform the agreement on the basis of the original agreement, or if the price increase is the result of a power or an obligation incumbent on WiredWorkers under the law, or if it is stipulated that delivery will take place more than three months after the purchase.
