It's up to everyone to know the laws of their jurisdictions and what rights they have as a result, but in most nations that have any form of consumer protection laws the vast majority of those rights granted by such laws cannot be waived - contractually or otherwise. As just one example, many of the terms of use specified in the Steam user agreement are implicitly void in the United States, because they would otherwise constitute an unlawful waiver of consumer rights; subsequent to that, there also exist protections that apply to entire agreements containing ANY such illegal terms. The fact that very few people know this is more or less what keeps most people afraid of violating the terms of various contract/service agreements... even when they have no legal obligation to comply, and may actually be legally exempt from any need to do so.
I've never lived in Germany, so I can't speak to that specifically if their banking infrastructure is a bit more tyrannical than others (though I certainly wouldn't expect that from Germany in particular) - but from having lived and worked in many other places in the world, risk of that magnitude hasn't ever been a factor at least in those countries, nor in the USA where I currently live... and very generally speaking, the USA's consumer protections tend to be drastically fewer and less effective—and legal liabilities drastically higher, more severe and less reasonable owing to its essentially unenforced troll-litigation culture—than in the majority of other world nations.
(All that said, if you have any more information about Germany specifically that you think would be important for other German citizens to know in order to navigate this more safely, please post such here and I will gladly consider adding it to the guide).
Disingenuous or frivolous chargebacks are certainly risky, sure, (and I have made brief mention of that already in the guide, along with a note that both willingness to follow-through and reasonable personal comportment throughout the process are important), but chargebacks exist specifically as a legitimate last recourse for scenarios exactly like this one - where other preferable good faith solutions have been precluded by the otherwise unrestricted systemic abuse of bad actors.
Provided they are not abused by consumers in bad faith and/or accompanied by personal misconduct likely to inspire others to make your life difficult, the potential risks of chargebacks are negligible in my considerable experience (even in the USA, where the easiest targets of opportunity for banks to pursue are always the law-abiding consumers, not the corporations that are actually breaking the law).
As long as the purchase(s) went through a bank of some kind (whether your own or a credit card issuer, etc), you should be able to give it a shot.
