7.2. Customer indemnifies Disxt against any claims by third parties on the basis of the infringement of an (Intellectual Property) right on the part of Customer Data or Materials as originating from Customer.

7.3. Disxt is entitled, but never obliged to investigate the correctness, completeness or coherence of Customer Data and the requirements or specifications made available to it and to suspend the agreed activities if any deficiencies are found until Customer has removed the relevant deficiencies.

8.2. Payment can be made by transferring the amount to Disxt’s bank account, as specified in the invoice.

Customer is not entitled to terminate the Agreement in relation to adjustments under this clause.

8.5. Disxt is always authorised to require that Customer provides sufficient security to ensure that it can comply with its payment obligations, for instance by requiring a bank guarantee or surety or to demand payment of a deposit. 

9. Additional work

9.1. In the event of Disxt performing Services, or providing other services at Customer’s request, which go beyond the scope of the agreed upon Services, Customer shall pay for such Services retrospectively on a time and materials basis at Disxt’s then current hourly rates. However, Disxt will under no circumstances be obliged to comply with such a request and can require that a separate Agreement is entered into for that purpose.

9.2. Customer accepts that the Services as referred to in Clause 9.1 can affect the agreed or anticipated time of completion of the Services, as well as the Parties’ mutual responsibilities under the Agreement. Disxt may adjust any agreed timetable or delivery schedule as reasonably necessary. The need for or occurrence of additional work during the performance of the Agreement never constitutes a reason for Customer to give notice of termination or to (partially) dissolve the Agreement. To the extent a fixed price is agreed for the provision of the Services, Disxt will, upon request, inform Customer in writing of the financial consequences of the additional work.

10. Availability and support

10.1. Disxt will make every effort to provide support and to realise uninterrupted availability of its Services but offers no guarantees unless otherwise agreed by means of a Service Level Agreement.

10.2. If Customer wishes changes in the Material during the campaign, Customer can contact Disxt. After Parties agree about the changes and pricing in writing, Disxt will make the changes according to the written agreement.

11. Confidentiality

11.1.A Party receiving confidential information from the other Party shall treat this as strictly confidential and use this solely in connection with its rights and obligations under the Agreement.

11.2. Confidential information includes all information of which it can be assumed from the context that the disclosing Party would deem this to be confidential or of which the receiving Party should reasonably have recognized its confidential nature from the content of the information. Confidential information also includes all information and data concerning or pertaining to the Agreement, the Services, pricing, service levels, Customer Data, and more generally data concerning business operations, marketing, research, development, inventions, know-how, samples, product and service specifications, software, business relations, irrespective of the form in which this has been recorded or is provided.

11.3. The obligation to treat certain information as confidential no longer applies if the receiving Party can prove that this information:

a. is or becomes publicly available through no act or omission of the receiving Party;

b. was already in possession of the receiving Party prior to the date on which it was issued by the disclosing Party;

c. is available from a third party without this party being in default towards the disclosing Party arising from a confidentiality clause by distributing the information to the receiving Party; or

d. was developed by the receiving Party independently and without the use of the information of the disclosing Party.

11.4. Should a competent court or other government authority demand access to confidential information, the receiving Party is entitled to grant such access. However, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the receiving Party shall contact the disclosing Party prior to doing so, to enable the disclosing Party to take legal action against such access (e.g. an interim measure with a competent court). However, the receiving Party shall never be liable for granting access if legally obligated.

11.5. The provisions of this Clause 11 shall continue to be effective after the expiration or termination of the Agreement. 

12. Limitation of liability

12.1 Disxt’s liability for loss and/or damages resulting from a failure in the performance of the Agreement, an unlawful act or otherwise, is limited to the amount that Customer has paid under the Agreement immediately preceding the breach or the act giving rise to liability (exclusive of VAT) but shall in any event not exceed the amount of EUR 25.000 on an annual basis.

12.2. Disxt is only liable for direct loss and/or damage arising from an attributable failure in the performance of the Agreement. Direct loss and/or damage is solely understood to mean any and all loss and/or damage consisting of:

a. reasonable and demonstrable costs Customer has had to incur in demanding that Disxt properly performs the Agreement, unless the defective performance is not attributable to Disxt;

b. reasonable costs to determine the cause and the extent of the direct loss and/or damage;

c. reasonable and demonstrable costs incurred by Customer to prevent or limit the direct loss and/or damage, insofar as Customer can demonstrate that such costs have resulted in limitation of the direct loss and/or damage.

12.3. Any limitation or exclusion of liability stipulated in this Agreement shall not apply in the event that the loss and/or damage is attributable to (1) wilful misconduct or deliberate recklessness of Disxt’s management, (2) death or bodily injury, or (3) any other matter for which it is unlawful to limit or exclude liability. 

12.4. Unless performance by Disxt is permanently impossible, Disxt shall only be liable due to an attributable failure in the performance of a contract if Customer declares Disxt to be in default in writing without delay and grants Disxt a reasonable term to remedy the breach, and Disxt culpably fails to fulfil its obligations also after this term has passed. The notice of default must describe the breach as comprehensively and in as much detail as possible in order to give Disxt the opportunity to respond adequately.

12.5. Any right to claim compensation is at all times subject to the condition that Customer notifies Disxt of the loss and/or damage in writing within no more than thirty (30) days of its discovery.

12.6 Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Disxt and its officers, agents and employees, from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses and/or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Disxt and arising out of or in connection with Customer’s use of the Services and/Customer’s breach of the Terms and Conditions of the Agreement.

13. Force majeure

13.1. Neither Party will be bound to comply with any obligation if the Party is prevented from doing so as a result of force majeure.

13.2. In case of force majeure, the affected Party will use its best efforts to find a suitable remedy or alternative source to overcome said force majeure.

13.3. Each Party has the right to suspend compliance with its obligations under the Agreement during the period of force majeure. If this period exceeds sixty (60) days, each Party will have the right to terminate the Agreement without being obliged to pay compensation to the other Party.

14. Amendments and severability

14.1. Disxt reserves the right to change or supplement the Agreement at any time. If the change negatively affects the position of Customer, Customer has the right to terminate the Agreement on and at the latest until the date on which the change takes effect, subject to a notice period of one (1) month. If and insofar the amendment is necessary because of (changing) legislation or if it concerns a change of minor importance, Customer is not entitled to terminate the Agreement. Other changes will only take place if agreed between the Parties in writing.

14.2. If any provision, or part of a provision, of the Agreement is found by any court or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall be deemed not to form part of the Agreement, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of the Agreement shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable law.

14.3 The Parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to agree within a reasonable time upon any lawful and reasonable variations to the Agreement which may be necessary in order to achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the same commercial effect as would have been achieved by the provision, or part-provision, in question. 

15. Miscellaneous

15.1. The Agreement shall be governed by Dutch law, excluding any conflict of law provisions contained in Dutch law.

15.3. The version of any communication of information as recorded by Disxt shall be deemed to be authentic and conclusive, unless Customer supplies proof to the contrary. 

15.4. Where the Agreement refers to “written” or “in writing”, this also includes e-mail communication provided the identity of the sender and the integrity of the content can be adequately established.

15.5. Customer will not be authorised to transfer the Agreement and all its rights and obligations arising therefrom to a third party (including but not limited to its affiliates) without the express prior written consent of Disxt. Disxt will be authorised, at any time, to assign, novate or otherwise transfer the Agreement and all its rights and obligations arising therefrom to an entity of the Disxt’s group and/or to a third party that acquires the business operations to which the Agreement is subject, without the need for Customer’s prior consent.
