Warranty

If the Parties have entered into an agreement of a service nature, all obligations incurred by Accenss B.V. under this agreement are obligations to use its best efforts, not obligations to achieve a result.

The Client shall make available to Accenss B.V. all information, data, and documents relevant to the correct execution of the agreement in good time and in the form and manner requested by Accenss B.V.
The Client ensures the accuracy, completeness and reliability of the information, data and documents made available, even if they originate from third parties, provided that the nature of the agreement does not provide otherwise.
If and to the extent requested by the Client, Accenss B.V. shall return the relevant documents.
If the Client does not make available the information, data or documents reasonably requested by Accenss B.V., or does not make them available properly or in a timely fashion, and the execution of the agreement is delayed, any resulting additional costs and/or extra minutes/hours will be charged to the Client.

Duration of a service agreement

An agreement between Accenss B.V. and the Client concerning a service or services is entered into for the duration of 1 year, unless the agreement provides otherwise, or the Parties have explicitly and in writing agreed otherwise.
At the end of the period referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Article, the agreement shall be automatically converted into an agreement of indefinite duration, unless one of the Parties terminates the agreement with 1 month's notice, or a Consumer terminates the agreement with 1 month's notice, as a result of which the agreement will terminate by law.
If the Parties have agreed upon a completion time for certain activities within the duration of the agreement, this shall never constitute a mandatory time limit. If this period is exceeded, the Client must give Accenss B.V. notice of default in writing.

Termination of a fixed-term service agreement

The Client or Consumer may not terminate a fixed-term service agreement any earlier than after 1 year.
Upon expiry of the minimum period of 1 year, such an agreement may be terminated by the Client with 1 month's notice.
Upon expiry of the minimum period of 1 year, such an agreement may be terminated by the Consumer with 1 month's notice.
If the service agreement has been entered into for less than 1 year, the agreement cannot be terminated prematurely.

Intellectual property

Accenss B.V. reserves all intellectual property rights (including copyright, patent rights, trademark rights, design and model rights, etc.) to all designs, drawings, writings, carriers of data or other information, quotations, images, sketches, models and scale models, etc., unless the Parties have agreed otherwise in writing.
Without the prior written consent of Accenss B.V., the Client may not copy (or have copied) said intellectual property rights, show and/or disclose them to third parties, or use them in any other way.

Indemnification

The Client indemnifies Accenss B.V. against all claims by third parties relating to the products and/or services provided by Accenss B.V.

Complaints

The Client must examine a product or service provided by Accenss B.V. as soon as possible for any deficiencies.
If a delivered product or provided service does not meet the expectations of the Client, insofar as these can be considered reasonable under the agreement, the Client must inform Accenss B.V. of this as soon as possible, but in any event within 1 month after the deficiency is first found.
Consumers must inform Accenss B.V. of any deficiencies within 2 months after they are first found.
When informing Accenss B.V., the Client must include a description of the deficiency that is as detailed as possible, in order to enable Accenss B.V. to respond adequately.
The Client must demonstrate that the complaint relates to an agreement between the Parties.
In any event, if a complaint relates to work in progress, it cannot lead to Accenss B.V. being held to perform activities other than those agreed.

Notice of default

The Client must give Accenss B.V. notice of default in writing.
It is the responsibility of the Client to ensure that a notice of default does indeed reach Accenss B.V. (in good time).

Joint and several liability of the Client

If Accenss B.V. enters into an agreement with several Clients, each of them shall be jointly and severally liable for the full amount owed to Accenss B.V. under that agreement.

Liability of Accenss B.V.

Accenss B.V. is solely liable for any damage suffered by the Client if and insofar as such damage is caused by wilful misconduct or wilful recklessness.
If Accenss B.V. is liable for any damage, it is only liable for direct damage resulting from or related to the execution of an agreement.
Accenss B.V. shall never be liable for indirect damages, such as consequential damages, lost profits, lost savings, or damage to third parties.
If Accenss B.V. is liable, this liability is limited to the amount paid by a concluded (professional) liability insurance and, in the absence of (full) payment by an insurance company of the amount of the damage, the liability is limited to the (part of) invoice amount to which the liability relates.
All images, photographs, colours, drawings, descriptions on the website or in a catalogue are merely indicative, are approximate only, and shall not give rise to damages and/or (partial) termination of the agreement and/or suspension of any obligation.

Expiry period

Any right of the Client to compensation from Accenss B.V. shall always lapse no later than 12 months after the event from which the liability directly or indirectly arises. This does not constitute prejudice to the provisions of Article 6:89 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Right to termination

The Client has the right to terminate the agreement if Accenss B.V. imputably fails to fulfil its obligations, unless this failure, given its particular nature or minor significance, does not justify the termination.
If the fulfilment of obligations by Accenss B.V. is permanently or temporarily impossible, then termination can only take place once Accenss B.V. is in default.
Accenss B.V. has the right to terminate the agreement with the Client if the Client does not fully or promptly fulfil his obligations under the agreement, or if Accenss B.V. has become aware of circumstances which give it good reason to fear that the Client will not be able to properly fulfil his obligations.

Force majeure

In addition to the provisions of Article 6:75 of the Dutch Civil Code, a failure by Accenss B.V. to fulfil any obligation to the Client cannot be attributed to Accenss B.V. in any situation which is beyond the will of Accenss B.V. and prevents the fulfilment of its obligations to the Client in whole or in part or prevents the fulfilment of these obligations from being reasonably required.
The situations of force majeure as referred to in Paragraph 1 include but are not limited to: a state of emergency (such as a civil war, insurrection, riots, natural disasters, etc.); non-performance and force majeure on the part of suppliers, delivery companies or other third parties; unexpected power, electricity, Internet, computer and/or telecom failures; computer viruses, strikes, government measures, unforeseen transport problems, adverse weather conditions, and work stoppages.
If a force majeure situation occurs, which results in Accenss B.V. Being unable to fulfil 1 or more obligations to the Client, these obligations shall be suspended until Accenss B.V. can meet them again.
From the moment that a situation of force majeure has lasted at least 30 calendar days, both Parties have the right to terminate the agreement in writing, either in full or in part.
Accenss B.V. will not be liable for any (damage) compensation in a force majeure situation, even if it enjoys any advantage as a result of the situation of force majeure.

Amendment of the agreement

If, after the conclusion of the agreement, it appears necessary to amend or supplement its contents for it to be executed, the Parties shall adapt the agreement accordingly in good time and in mutual consultation.

Amendment of the General Terms and Conditions

Accenss B.V. has the right to modify or supplement these General Terms and Conditions.
Changes of minor importance can be made at any time.
Any major changes in content will be discussed in advance by Accenss B.V. with the Client as much as possible.
Consumers have the right to terminate the agreement in the event of a substantial change in the General Terms and Conditions.

Transfer of rights

Right of the Client under an agreement between the Parties cannot be transferred to third parties without the prior written consent of Accenss B.V.
This provision shall be deemed to be a clause with a property law effect as referred to in Article 3:83, Paragraph 2, of the Dutch Civil Code.

Consequences of voidness or voidability

If one or more provisions of these General Terms and Conditions prove null and void or voidable, this shall not affect the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
In that case, a provision that is void or voidable shall be substituted by the valid, effective, and enforceable provision which best approximates the intent of Accenss B.V. at the time the original provision was drawn up.

Applicable law and competent courts

Any agreement between the Parties shall always be governed by Dutch law.
The Dutch court in the district where Accenss B.V. has its registered office has exclusive jurisdiction to take cognisance of any disputes between the Parties unless the law compellingly requires otherwise.
