About this plugin
gRDV Cancellation & Contract Termination provides two separate public workflows without requiring WooCommerce or another shop system:
- an electronic cancellation function with popup or standalone form;
- a public contract termination button and direct confirmation page.
Cancellation shortcodes:
- [grdv_widerruf_button] follows the globally configured popup or page behavior;
- [grdv_widerruf_button mode="popup"] explicitly opens the accessible popup;
- [grdv_widerruf_button mode="page"] explicitly links to the configured cancellation page;
- [grdv_widerruf_form] renders the cancellation form on a page.
Contract termination shortcodes:
- [grdv_kuendigung_button] renders the configurable public cancellation link;
- [grdv_kuendigung_form] renders the complete confirmation form on one public page.
The contract termination form captures the termination type, reason for an extraordinary termination, identifying data, contract identification, and requested end date. The public Verträge hier kündigen and final jetzt kündigen labels remain fixed. After submission, the plugin stores the declaration with a reference and server-side timestamp, immediately shows a receipt, offers a permanent text download, and sends receipt emails to the consumer and operator.
The Stripe customer portal is not required for submitting a cancellation. Operators can match and process the recorded declaration manually or add a separate server-side Stripe integration later.
This plugin is only a technical aid, not legal advice. Its supplied texts and workflows are general suggestions and carry no guarantee of completeness, currency, fitness for a particular business model, or legal compliance. Have the complete production setup reviewed by qualified counsel before use and after relevant legal changes.
The website operator remains responsible for configuration, placement, privacy information, delivery monitoring, retention, deletion, and processing. This notice does not limit liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Privacy and data handling
Submitted declarations are stored in dedicated tables in the site’s own WordPress database. Depending on the form, this includes the name, email address, contract information, optional message or cancellation reason, requested end date, submission time, receipt content, and mail-transport status. 2 and later do not record the submitting IP address or browser user-agent for new declarations.
The plugin sends confirmation messages through the site’s configured WordPress mail transport to the submitting person and the configured operator address. It does not contact a gRDV service, analytics provider, CDN, payment provider, or other external API. Website operators remain responsible for documenting this processing, defining retention and deletion procedures, securing WordPress and email delivery, and responding to data-subject requests.
Uninstalling the plugin permanently deletes its settings and both custom database tables, including all stored cancellation and contract termination records. Export any records that must be retained before uninstalling.
