LIABILITY

Client will only be entitled to recover damages that directly resulted from the breach of performance. CONTENT CREATOR is not responsible for delayed or consequential damages, nor any other types of damage, such as lost profits or data, even if CONTENT CREATOR should have known it could happen. These liability limitations also apply to anyone CONTENT CREATOR works with to come to and carry out the Agreement.

Client hereby indemnifies and holds CONTENT CREATOR harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, taxes (together with any interest, penalties, or additions thereto) and other losses (including loss in the value of its investment) paid, incurred, suffered, or sustained by the CONTENT CREATOR, in each case relating to, resulting from, or arising out of (any element of) the Agreement or as a result of the publication or use of any and all assets/contents produced under this Agreement, including claims relating to intellectual property rights, rights of privacy and, slander, blasphemy and defamation (smaad, laster en belediging).  

CONFIDENTIALITY

Parties shall, and shall procure that its representatives, not disclose (the contents of) this Agreement or parts thereof, any ancillary documents to this Agreement or any other information about Parties of a confidential nature received throughout the execution of this Agreement to any third party, unless they are required to do so by law, a court decision or instruction of a supervisory authority or governmental body, or where this is necessary in connection with fulfilling the obligations under this Agreement, in which case the Parties shall discuss the manner of disclosure in advance. 

FORCE MAJEURE EVENT

A Force Majeure event means any unforeseeable circumstance which is beyond the control of CONTENT CREATOR, or any unavoidable event, even if foreseeable, as a result of which such CONTENT CREATOR is unable to perform its obligations, in whole or in part, under the Agreement. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, any disconnection, dysfunctioning or interruption for any reason of any of CONTENT CREATOR’s websites, servers and/or social channels, or any other similar event.  If a Force Majeure event occurs, CONTENT CREATOR shall not be in breach of the Agreement or otherwise liable for any such failure or delay. 

MISCELLANEOUS

If any clause of this Agreement or part thereof is rendered void, invalid or unenforceable by any legislation to which it is subject, it shall be rendered void, invalid or unenforceable to that extent solely, and it shall not affect the validity of other provisions. In such a case, Parties are obliged to enter into mutual consultation in order to make a replacement arrangement with regard to the affected clause. The purpose and scope of the original provision will be taken into account as much as possible.

A Party shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party.

Deviations from the provisions of these T&Cs can only be made in writing. In the event of any inconsistency and/or conflict between the Engagement Tabel and the T&Cs, Parties hereby agree that the Engagement Tabel will in all cases prevail.
