I. Conditions for providing Advisory and Intermediary services

Article 1

Novagraaf shall, if deemed desirable or necessary for the correct performance of the commission with which it has been charged, be authorised to involve other experts during the execution of the commission, the costs of which shall be charged to the client.

Article 2

Novagraaf shall make every effort to perform the work to the best of its ability and adhere to the established code of practice with respect to the performance of the profession concerned. Novagraaf shall not accept liability for damage or loss arising from or related to incorrect information supplied by the client. Providing incorrect and/or incomplete information (even when provided in good faith) shall be deemed a breach on the part of the client and can give Novagraaf sufficient cause to dissolve the contract. The client acknowledges that the duties of Novagraaf are of an advisory nature. By virtue of the nature of the work carried out by Novagraaf and the subjective evaluation approach that is therefore always part of it, the liability of Novagraaf for the total damage or loss arising from or related to one or more attributable failing(s) on the part of Novagraaf or which may be founded on any other legal grounds, shall be limited to the amount paid out by the insurer in respect of such matters. In the event that the insurer does not make a payment in any case, Novagraaf shall not accept any liability.

The liability for consequential damages, which shall also include damage as a consequence of adaptation of printed material, internet sites, damage to reputation, costs of filing applications, shall be excluded. The limitations of liability included in this clause shall not apply in cases where the damage or loss is as a consequence of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of Novagraaf or any of its employees in an executive position.

Article 3

In the event of force majeure, Novagraaf shall, without legal intervention, have the right either to suspend the execution of the contract for as long as the circumstances causing the force majeure persist, or dissolve the contract fully or in part. In the event of force majeure Novagraaf shall in no way be deemed liable for the damages. For the purpose of this contract, force majeure shall include such matters as: illness of Novagraaf employees and the lack of available information from the client or incorrect information having been provided by the client. Novagraaf shall continue to be entitled to claim payment for the work that was carried out as part of said contract before the circumstances causing the force majeure were in evidence.

Article 4

Any contracts entered into and/or transactions carried out between Novagraaf and the client shall be governed by the Laws of the Netherlands. The Courts of Amsterdam shall have jurisdiction in any disputes arising between Novagraaf and the client.
