He must inform VOICFY immediately of any changes during the term of the user contract by making the changes in his user account.

§ 3 ORDERS

1) The CUSTOMER makes inquiries for services (“booking inquiry” or “offer”) via the platform online, via the VOICFY app, by telephone or by e-mail, stating place, time and scope of services. Registration on the platform must take place before the first booking request. VOICFY confirms the registration to the CUSTOMER by e-mail, providing the access data for a personal user account.
