The duration of the assignment also depends on external factors including, but not limited to, the quality and timely delivery of the information that Digital Q obtains from Client.
Both Customer and Digital Q may rescind the Agreement on the grounds of an attributable failure in the performance of the Agreement if the other party has been given written notice of default and has been given a reasonable period in which to perform its obligations and if it still fails to perform its obligations correctly.

If the Agreement has not yet lasted three months, it may be terminated with a notice period of one month).
In the event of premature termination of the Agreement, Customer shall owe Digital Q the actual costs incurred up to that time at the agreed (hourly) rate. Digital Q's timesheets are leading in this respect.

Advice provided by Digital Q, in whatever form, is never to be considered medical, legal, ﬁscal and/or accounting advice. Even if Digital Q assists Customer in negotiations, this advice is never legal advice. If Client interprets this advice as legal and/or ﬁscal advice, Client should first consult with a trained specialist (lawyer/ﬁscalist).
Customer is obliged at Digital Q's first request to evaluate proposals provided by it. If Digital Q is delayed in its work, due to Customer's failure to provide an assessment on a proposal made by Digital Q, or failure to do so in a timely manner, Customer shall at all times be responsible for the resulting consequences, such as delay.
The nature of the services implies that the result is at all times dependent on external factors that may influence Digital Q's reports and advice, such as the quality, accuracy and timely delivery of required information and data from the Client and its employees. Client guarantees the quality and the timely and correct delivery of the necessary data and information.

Article 19 - Suspension and dissolution

In such case, Digital Q shall not be liable for any damages, on any account, resulting from the suspension of its operations.

Digital Q always retains the right to claim damages.

Article 20 - Force majeure

Digital Q is not liable when, as a result of a force majeure situation, it cannot fulfill its obligations under the Agreement, nor can it be held to fulfill any obligation if it is hindered from doing so as a result of a circumstance that is not due to its fault and is not for its account by virtue of the law, legal act or generally accepted practice.

The parties may suspend the obligations under the Agreement during the period that the force majeure continues. If this period lasts longer than two months, either party is entitled to dissolve the Agreement, without any obligation to compensate the other party for damages.
Insofar Digital Q has already partly fulfilled its obligations from the Agreement at the time of the start of the force majeure or will be able to fulfil them, and the fulfilled respectively to be fulfilled part has independent value, Digital Q is entitled to invoice the fulfilled respectively to be fulfilled part separately. Customer is obliged to pay this invoice as if it were a separate Agreement.

Article 21 - Limitation of liability

If any result set forth in the Agreement is not achieved, a default by Digital Q shall be deemed to exist only if Digital Q expressly promised such result upon acceptance of the Agreement.
If there is an attributable shortcoming by Digital Q, Digital Q shall only be liable to pay any damages if Customer has given Digital Q notice of default within 14 days of discovery of the shortcoming and Digital Q has subsequently failed to remedy this shortcoming within a reasonable period of time. The notice of default must be in writing and contain such an accurate description/substantiation of the deficiency as to enable Digital Q to respond adequately.
If the performance of Services by Digital Q leads to Digital Q's liability, such liability shall be limited to the total amount invoiced under the Agreement, but only with respect to direct damage suffered by Customer unless the damage is the result of intent or recklessness bordering on intent on the part of Digital Q. Direct damage shall mean: reasonable costs incurred to limit or prevent direct damage, the determination of the cause of damage, the direct damage, the liability and the manner of recovery.
Digital Q expressly excludes all liability for consequential damages.

Customer shall indemnify Digital Q for all third party claims resulting from a defect resulting from a service provided by Customer to a third party that consisted in part of Services provided by Digital Q, unless Customer can prove that the damage was caused solely by Digital Q's service.
Any advice provided by Digital Q, based on incomplete and/or incorrect information provided by Customer, shall never be grounds for liability of Digital Q.
The content of Digital Q's delivered advice is not binding and only advisory in nature. Customer decides for herself and on her own responsibility whether she follows the proposals and herein mentioned advice of Digital Q. All consequences resulting from following the advice are for the account and risk of Customer. Customer is at all times free to make her own choices that deviate from the advice provided by Digital Q. Digital Q is not obliged to any form of refund if this is the case.

Digital Q is not liable for and/or obliged to repair damage caused by the use of the Product. Digital Q provides strict maintenance and usage instructions to be followed by Buyer. All damage to Products resulting from wearing and use is explicitly excluded from liability (including traces of use, usage damage, fall damage, light and water damage, theft, loss, etc.). For Consumer, a limitation applies in accordance with what is permitted under Article 7:24 paragraph 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Confidentiality shall not apply if the information in question is already public/general knowledge, the information is not confidential and/or the information was not disclosed to Digital Q during the course of the Agreement with Customer and/or was otherwise obtained by Digital Q.

If Digital Q is required by a statutory provision or court order to (communicate) the confidential information to a third party designated by the law or competent court or indicated and Digital Q cannot invoke a right to privilege, Digital Q is not bound to any compensation and does not give Customer any ground for dissolution of the Agreement.
The transfer or distribution of information to third parties and/or publication of productions provided by Digital Q to third parties requires Digital Q's written consent, unless such consent is expressly agreed upon in advance.
