15.2 The client takes out an adequate insurance to cover the abovementioned risks.

15.3 The client must do everything in its power to limit the damage.

Article 16: Force majeure & Unforeseen circumstances

If the delivery deadline is not exceeded, and CrowdLED’s compliance or the client’s acceptance is delayed by more than a month due to a force majeure, then each of the parties – upon the exclusion of any further rights – is authorized to dissolve the agreement pursuant to the law. Everything already completed or performed under the agreement will then be settled by the parties proportionately.

  • Traffic disruptions;
  • Government measures that make it impossible for CrowdLED to comply with its obligations on time or correctly;

  • Extreme weather conditions;
  • Fire;

19.2 If, however, CrowdLED must acknowledge or if a Dutch Court determines in legal proceedings which are no longer eligible for appeal, that any items supplied by CrowdLED do violate any rights of third parties within the meaning specified here, then CrowdLED will discuss this with the client and select the product in question at its discretion by a product that does not violate the right in question or obtain a license thereof, or take the product in question back and give the client money back, notwithstanding the depreciation deemed normal, without being liable to payment of any further damages.

19.3 However, the client does loose the right to the performance referred to under subsection 2 if he fails to inform CrowdLED in time and fully of the claims of third parties as referred to in this article, as a result of which CrowdLED was also not given the opportunity to sufficiently defend its rights in this respect.
