4.3. When executing the agreement, the user will adhere to the requirements of good workmanship. User executes the agreement to the best of his knowledge and ability. This on the basis of the state of the art known at that time. User has only an effort obligation and gives no guarantees to achieve an intended result.

The agreement cannot be prematurely dissolved or changed by the client.

4.8. The user can suspend or dissolve the agreement with immediate effect if the client fails to fulfill its obligations arising from the agreement or fails to do so in time or if the user has a well-founded fear that this will occur and this suspension justifies suspension or dissolution.

The liability of the user is in any case limited to the sum for which the user is insured.

8.3. Direct damage is exclusively understood to mean: the reasonable costs incurred to determine the cause and the extent of the damage, the reasonable costs incurred to still execute the agreement correctly and reasonable costs to prevent or limit the damage. These costs only fall under direct damage if it is determined that the damage is attributable to the user.

8.5. If the user cannot or cannot properly fulfill the agreement through the actions of the client, the client is liable for all direct and indirect damage on the part of the user.

8.6. The client indemnifies the user against any claims from third parties that suffer damage in connection with the execution of the agreement and the cause of which is attributable to others than the user. If the user should be held liable by third parties for this reason, the client is obliged to assist the user both in and out of court and to immediately do everything that may be expected of him in that case. If the client fails to take adequate measures, the user is entitled, without notice of default, to do so himself. All costs and damage that arise on the part of the user and third parties are fully for the account and risk of the client.

11.3. User has the right to suspend his obligations during the force majeure situation. User has no obligation to compensate any damage as a result of the force majeure situation.

11.4. Parties have the right to terminate the agreement if the force majeure situation lasts longer than 60 days. Parties have no obligation to compensate any damage as a result of the dissolution.

11.5. If the user has already partially fulfilled the agreement or is still able to fulfill it and this part has independent value as such, the user has the right to invoice this part separately. There is a separate agreement, which is why the client is obliged to pay this invoice.

Article 12: Applicable law and disputes
