Activation of the individual Services and participation in specific initiatives is subject to acceptance of the related terms and conditions. Acceptance shall only be requested when first accessing the specific service or initiative, if it can be activated from the Application, with the exception of e-commerce purchases (apart from subscriptions) for which acceptance of the General Conditions of Sale shall be requested upon each transaction.
