8.6 Timely payment under a SEPA direct debit mandate, Legal Expenses Insurance, Premium

8.6.1 Where we have agreed to collect the premium from an account, payment counts as timely if  the premium can be collected on the due date, and  you do not object to the collection. What happens if the premium due cannot be collected through no fault of yours? In this case payment is still timely if you pay without delay after a request in text form (example: letter or email). (“Without delay” does not necessarily mean “immediately”, but “without culpable hesitation, that is, as quickly as reasonably possible”.) 8.6.2 Ending the direct debit procedure If you are responsible for the premium due not being collectable, we are entitled to demand another method of payment in future. You need only pay, however, once we have requested you to do so in text form (example: letter German law applies to the contract. The German wording of the conditions alone is binding; this translation is provided for understanding only. or email).
