Any use of the tradenames brands and further intellectual property of BEXTER and all goodwill arising from such use will be for the benefit of BEXTER.

17.3 BEXTER is entitled to make technical provisions for the purpose of protecting TrackOnline, data files etc. with a view to enforcing the agreed restrictions in the content and term of use of these objects. Client is prohibited from removing or circumventing such technical provisions.

17.4 BEXTER indemnifies Client against any third-party legal claim based on the assertion that the software developed by BEXTER infringes an intellectual property right of a third party, provided that Client informs BEXTER immediately in writing about the existence and content of the legal claim, and leaves the handling of the case, including taking any settlement, up to BEXTER.

17.5 If an injunction is imposed prohibiting the use of TrackOnline because of an infringement within the meaning of the previous paragraph or if, in the opinion of BEXTER, there is a chance that t TrackOnline will become the subject of a successful claim for infringement, BEXTER is entitled, at its own discretion and own expense, to (a) obtain the right for Client to continue to use TrackOnline as per the Agreement(s); (b) replace TrackOnline or adjust it in such a way that it no longer constitutes an infringement, provided the functionality remains materially unchanged; or (c) terminate the Agreement with regard to the infringing TrackOnline.

17.6 Client acknowledges and accepts that the full and exclusive liability of BEXTER for infringement of patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights is as defined in Article 17 and 20.

ARTICLE 18 – PERIODS

All (delivery) terms and deadlines related to TrackOnline, Support, consultancy services and other services are target dates, determined by BEXTER in good faith based on the information then known to BEXTER and are not binding unless explicitly agreed in writing between BEXTER and Client. Unless fatal terms are agreed, violation of deadlines does not mean that BEXTER is in default and does not lead to liability for damages.

ARTICLE 19 – COMPLAINTS

In case Client has a complaint in respect of an incorrect delivery or in respect of an incorrect or deficient service, Client will inform BEXTER within 2 (two) weeks after the delivery or provision of the service in writing.

ARTICLE 20 – LIABILITY

20.1 Subject to the limitations set out below, each Party is responsible for any direct damage caused to the other Party due to attributable shortcomings in the fulfillment of an Agreement and/or due to negligence.

20.2 The total liability of the Parties due to a attributable shortcoming in the fulfillment of the Agreement or due to any other ground, is limited to direct damage up to maximum 50% of all amounts invoiced to Client in the 6 (six) months prior to the default of BEXTER, minus any crediting by BEXTER to Client during that period. In no event the total liability for direct damage, for whatever reason, shall be more than € 500,000 (five hundred thousand euros) per year.

A series of related events is considered a single incident.

20.3 The liability of the Parties for damage for death or physical injury or for material property damage shall not exceed EUR 1,000,000 (one million Euros) per damage causing event per year. A series of related events is considered a single incident.

Some countries and/or states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of special, indirect, incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply to all Clients. In that case the liability of the Parties is limited to the maximum extent possible by law.

20.5 The exclusions and limitations set out in articles 20.2, 20.3 and 20.4 do not apply in case and to the extent that the damage is resulting from an intentional act or omission, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

20.8 BEXTER does not accept any liability for the incorrect, incomplete or non-timely sending of data that is placed with BEXTER via TrackOnline.

20.9 Unless fulfillment of an obligation is permanently impossible, liability on the part of either Party with regard to attributable shortcomings in the fulfillment of an Agreement will in any case only exist if the defaulting Party is served with proper notice of default, whereby a reasonable period must be given for the defaulting Party to remedy the breach, and the defaulting Party remains in breach of its obligations even after this period. The notice of default must contain the most complete and detailed description of the breach possible, allowing the defaulting Party to respond adequately.

20.10 A claim for compensation cannot be considered unless written notice of the loss has been given to the defaulting Party as soon as possible after it occurs. Any claim for compensation against the defaulting Party expires by the mere lapse of time 12 (twelve) months after the damage has manifested itself.

20.11 Client indemnifies BEXTER against claims from third parties, employees of Client included, who suffer damage in connection with the execution of the Agreement which is the result of actions or omissions of Client or of unsafe situations in its organization.

20.12 The provisions of this article as well as all other limitations and exclusions of liability specified in these Terms & Conditions shall also apply for the benefit of all (legal) persons whose BEXTER engages for the execution of the Agreement.
