Article 9. Liability

1. The total liability of Online4Hosting due to an attributable shortcoming in the fulfillment of the agreement is limited to compensation for direct damage up to a maximum of the amount of the price stipulated for that agreement (excl. VAT).
2. The liability of Online4Hosting due to attributable shortcoming in the fulfillment of an agreement only arises if the Customer immediately and properly declares Online4Hosting in default in writing, setting a reasonable period for remedying the shortcoming and Online4Hosting also after that period attributable to the fulfillment of his obligations continues to fall short.
3. Liability of Online4Hosting for indirect damage, including consequential damage, loss of profit, lost savings and damage due to business interruption, is expressly excluded.

5. The customer indemnifies Online4Hosting from liability for damage resulting from the loss of data data.
6. In the unlikely event that Online4Hosting is held liable for the loss of data, as stipulated in paragraphs 9.4 and 9.5, Online4Hosting is at most liable for the amount resulting from the agreement concluded. When there is a continuing performance agreement, Online4Hosting is only obliged to refund the invoice amount of the month in which the data was lost.
7. The customer indemnifies Online4Hosting against all claims for compensation that third parties might assert with regard to damage that has been caused in any way by the unlawful or careless use of the products and services of Online4Hosting delivered to the contractor.
8. It must be taken into account that the information obtained or sent via the Internet is freely accessible. This is because of the large number of nodes on the Internet with human intervention, the use of local networks and wireless communication. Online4Hosting cannot be held liable for damage in any form whatsoever caused by sending confidential or secret information. Online4Hosting is not liable for security or misuse by third parties of the data that is stored.

Article 10. Interruption of the Services and force majeure

1. Online4Hosting is entitled to temporarily put the servers (thus the information of the Customer) out of use for periodic maintenance, updates, etc. Online4Hosting is never liable for any damage that the Customer suffers in connection with the decommissioning.
2. If Online4Hosting puts the servers out of use, it will inform the Customer about this and provide information about the expected “down time”.
3. Online4Hosting is not bound by its obligations under the agreement if compliance has become impossible due to force majeure. If the force majeure continues for a period of two months, both parties are entitled to dissolve the agreement. That which has already been performed under the agreement will then be settled proportionately.
4. Online4Hosting depends in its activities on the cooperation, services and deliveries of third parties, over which Online4Hosting has little or no influence. Online4Hosting can therefore in no way be held liable for any damage whatsoever arising from a situation in which the shortcoming is attributable to a third party with whom Online4Hosting has entered into an agreement.
5. In addition to the provisions of paragraph 10.4, force majeure certainly includes all that has been adopted in this regard in law and jurisprudence.

1. If the agreement relates to the periodic or otherwise regular provision of Services, the agreement is in principle entered into between the parties for a period of twelve months, unless otherwise agreed.
2. The right of premature termination of the agreement by the Client is excluded, without prejudice to the other provisions of these general terms and conditions.
3. Both parties, both the Customer and Online4Hosting, have the authority to dissolve the agreement only if the other party, after a proper and as detailed as possible written notice of default, setting a reasonable period for remedying the shortcoming, attributably fails to comply with the the essential obligations under the agreement.
4. As an exception to the provisions of Article 11.3, Online4Hosting can fully or partially terminate the agreement without notice of default and without judicial intervention by means of written notice with immediate effect if urgent reasons arise, including in any case the cases in which:
5. The Client is granted a (provisional) suspension of payments;
   a petition for or pronounced bankruptcy in respect of the Client;
   there is a suspicion that the Client will not be able to meet his or her payment obligation upon renewal of the agreement;
   Customer acts contrary to public order or morality, or any obligation arising from the agreement with Online4Hosting;
   Customer infringes the rights of third parties;

6. If, at the time of the dissolution as referred to in Articles 11.3 and 11.4, the Client has already received performances for the implementation of the agreement, these performances and the associated payment obligation will not be subject to reversal. Amounts that Online4Hosting has invoiced before the dissolution in connection with what it has already performed or delivered for the execution of the agreement, remain due in full with due observance of the previous sentence and become immediately due and payable at the time of the dissolution.
7. Online4Hosting reserves the right to change its general terms and conditions, also for existing agreements. If Online4Hosting proceeds to change the conditions, it will notify the Customer of this two months in advance. The Client is then free to dissolve the agreement from the moment the new general terms and conditions come into effect or up to seven days after the new terms and conditions come into effect.

If any provision of these general terms and conditions is null and void or is nullified, the other provisions of these general terms and conditions will remain in full force and Online4Hosting and the Customer will enter into consultation in order to agree on new provisions to replace the invalid or voided provisions, whereby the purpose and purport of the invalid or nullified provision are observed as much as possible.
2. If the Customer includes provisions or conditions in his order that deviate from, or do not appear in, these terms and conditions, these are only binding for Online4Hosting if and insofar as these have been explicitly accepted by Online4Hosting in writing.
