15.1 The Customer remains the party entitled to the data stored, processed, incorporated or otherwise entered using the Cloud Service.

15.2 The Customer and his Users decide for themselves which data are stored, processed or otherwise entered using the Cloud Service. Mavim has no knowledge of these data.

ARTICLE 16. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

16.1 If Mavim processes personal data in the context of the performance of the Agreement, Mavim and the Customer will enter into a data processing agreement.

ARTICLE 17. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

17.1 The total liability of Mavim to the Customer due to an attributable failure to perform this Agreement or by any other reason is for the term of this Agreement per occurrence limited to compensation for direct loss up to the amount not exceeding the total of the remunerations (exclusive of Dutch VAT) paid by the Customer in the twelve months prior to the loss-causing fact pursuant to this Agreement, up to a maximum of € 50.000.- .

17.2 The liability of Mavim for indirect loss, including lost profits, lost savings, reduced goodwill, loss due to business interruption, and loss ensuing from claims on the part of the Customer is excluded. Excluded is also the liability of Mavim due to disabled, destroyed or lost files, data, documents and other information carriers of the Customer.

17.3 The aforementioned exclusions and limitations of the liability of Mavim do not apply in case the loss has been caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of the company management of Mavim.

17.4 Unless performance has been rendered permanently impossible by Mavim, the liability of Mavim will only arise due to an attributable failure to perform an Agreement if the Customer gives Mavim written notice of default without delay, and if a reasonable term is set in which the failure in the performance can be remedied, and Mavim continues to fail to comply with its obligations. The notice of default must include a full and detailed description of the alleged failure, so that Mavim is actually provided with the opportunity to respond adequately to the notice of default.

17.5 A claim for compensation cannot be considered unless written notice has been given by the Customer to Mavim as soon as possible. All claims for compensation against Mavim will be barred by the mere expiry of a period of 6 months after the inception of the claim.

ARTICLE 18. FORCE MAJEURE

18.1 None of the Parties is obliged to comply with any obligation, including any warranty obligation agreed between the Parties if a Party is prevented to do so as a result of force majeure. The term ‘force majeure’ is also taken to mean the fact that the Agreement cannot be performed due to power failure and failure of the Internet, computer network or telecommunications facilities, in so far as Mavim did not have any influence thereon.

18.2 If a situation of force majeure lasts longer than 90 days, each of the Parties is entitled to terminate the Agreement in writing. The performance already delivered under the Agreement will in that case be settled pro rata, without the Parties being obliged to pay each other any amount with respect to the rest.

ARTICLE 19. DURATION AND TERMINATION

19.1 The Agreement is entered into for the agreed duration. If no term has been agreed, the Agreement has a term of 1 year. The Agreement will each time be extended automatically by the duration of one year, unless the Customer or Mavim terminated this Agreement in writing by registered letter subject to three months’ notice before the end of the period in question.

19.2 Either Party is entitled to terminate the Agreement due to an attributable failure to perform the Agreement if the other Party is in breach of essential obligations arising from the Agreement. Termination is only possible after a full and detailed written notice of default in which a reasonable term is set in which the breach can be remedied. Any payment obligation on the part of the Customer is always to be considered as essential obligations arising from the Agreement.

19.3 Upon termination of the Agreement, the performance already rendered in execution of the Agreement will not be undone, unless the Customer proves that Mavim is in default as regards an essential part of that performance. In that case the value of the performance already rendered by Mavim for the Customer (subject to proof to the contrary) will be assessed to be equivalent to the value of the remunerations which have been paid already. Amounts invoiced by Mavim before the termination in connection with all that Mavim has already performed or delivered properly in execution of the Agreement remain fully due subject to the provisions set out in the preceding sentence and will become immediately due and payable upon termination.

19.4 The Customer is not entitled to terminate this Agreement before the end of the term.

19.5 Either Party may terminate the Agreement, wholly or in part, with immediate effect in writing without notice of default being required if with respect to the other Party a petition in bankruptcy is filed, or if the company of the other Party will be winded up or terminated, with the exception of a restructuring of companies. Mavim is in connection with such a termination not obliged to refund the monies already received or to pay compensation. In the event of bankruptcy of the Customer the right of use of the Cloud Services and the Interface will lapse.

ARTICLE 20. CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION

20.1 In case of termination of the Agreement, the Parties will cooperate in good faith in rendering any support required by the Customer with the remigration of the data entered when using the Cloud Services and with the transfer to the Customer or to a third party to be designated by the Customer during this “remigration period”. The continuity of the availability of the data and services are the key element. The Parties will hold consultations about the extent of the effort to be made by Mavim. The costs incurred by Mavim in connection with the remigration of the services will be charged from the Customer on the basis of actual costs.

20.2 After termination of the Agreement, the Customer may submit a request for a once-only supply of the data entered when using the Cloud Services. Mavim will make the data available to the Customer in a standard size so that these data can be reasonably processed by the Customer. Mavim is not subject to a (statutory) retention period for the data and information entered by the Customer. In the event that, after the termination of the Agreement, the Customer has failed to indicate forthwith that he requires the aforementioned transfer of the data, Mavim is entitled, without giving prior notice, to immediately remove from the Server data which are stored, processed, incorporated or otherwise entered by means of the Cloud Service and to destroy these data.

ARTICLE 21. DISPUTES AND APPLICABLE LAW

21.1 The Agreement is governed by Dutch law.

21.2 Any dispute between the Parties will be submitted to the competent Court in The Hague. The Parties may jointly decide to settle a dispute by way of arbitration or mediation.

ARTICLE 22. OTHER STIPULATIONS

22.1 The version of any communication received or stored by Mavim is to be considered as authentic (including logfiles), subject to proof to the contrary to be produced by the Customer.

22.2 The Parties are not entitled to transfer the rights and obligations arising from this Agreement to a third party without written permission of the other Party. The other Party will not withhold permission without reasonable grounds; however, the other Party is entitled to make granting this permission subject to reasonable conditions.
