All periods stated are only a guideline and are therefore never fatal, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

3. SevenLab will do everything in its power to deliver and / or perform the Service in accordance with the agreed specifications. 
4. Customer accepts that if Software is delivered, it contains only the functionality and other features as found by Customer at the time of use ("as is"), therefore with all visible and invisible Errors and defects.

SevenLab will make every effort to correct the Errors and Defects (to the extent attributable to SevenLab) within a reasonable period. 
5. In case of Errors in the Service and/or performance SevenLab will do its utmost to solve these in accordance with the Service Level Agreement. If no Service Level Agreement is agreed upon, SevenLab will make every effort to solve Errors as soon as practically possible after the Customer has reported these Errors to SevenLab. If Errors are caused by the fault of the Customer, SevenLab has the right to charge its usual fees for the repair work to be executed by SevenLab. 
6. SevenLab has the right to (temporarily) put the Service out of use, for example for maintenance or modification of the Service, without the Customer having any right to notice, cancellation or compensation to SevenLab. SevenLab will in such a situation inform the Customer, to the extent reasonably possible, in advance. 
7. SevenLab is entitled to improve and adapt the Service at its sole discretion to the state of technology and developments in the market, and if necessary (temporarily) put the Service out of use, without the Customer being entitled to any compensation, termination or dissolution.

9. In the event that the execution of the Agreement in the opinion of SevenLab requires additional work which is attributable to the Customer (for example because the Customer provides incomplete / incorrect information), SevenLab is entitled to charge all additional time and costs, including those of Third Parties, to the Customer. SevenLab will inform the Customer in advance about these additional activities. 
10. Purchases of new software, licenses, equipment, etc. and repairs by Third Parties necessary for the implementation of the Service fall outside the standard SevenLab rates and will be charged to the Customer. SevenLab will seek prior consent from the Customer.

Article 6 / Time limits

 

1. The (delivery) dates set by SevenLab are determined to the best of its knowledge based on information known to SevenLab at the conclusion of the Contract and will be taken into account as much as possible. Terms set by SevenLab and/or agreed between the Parties are only indicative and are never fatal. The mere fact that such periods are exceeded by SevenLab does not put SevenLab in default. SevenLab is only in default when the Customer has given SevenLab a written notice of default, in which the Customer has given SevenLab a reasonable period to remedy the breach and SevenLab has not remedied the breach within that reasonable period. This notice of default must contain a description of the shortcoming as complete as possible, so that SevenLab is able to respond adequately. 
2. Additional work or a change in the execution of the Agreement shall not apply if the Parties have agreed on additional work or a change in the execution of the Agreement.

 

Article 7 / Hosting and related services

3. Third parties may file complaints with SevenLab if they believe there has been an act in violation of Section 7.2. If a complaint is justified in SevenLab's judgment, SevenLab may remove or make inaccessible the material. In this case SevenLab is also entitled to provide personal information from the Customer to a notifier or to the competent authorities. SevenLab will inform the Customer if a situation like this occurs. Before taking the measures referred to in this provision, SevenLab will give the Customer the opportunity to respond to the assessment that there is a violation of Section 7.2.

Article 8 / Domain names and IP addresses

 

1. If the Service (also) includes that SevenLab will mediate for the Customer in obtaining a domain name and / or IP address, the provisions of this Article are also applicable. 
2. Application, assignment and possible use of a domain name and/or IP address depend on and are subject to the prevailing rules and procedures of the relevant domain name providers, including the Stichting Internet Domeinregistratie Nederland and RIPE.

SevenLab only plays an intermediary role in the application and provides no guarantee that a request will be honored. 
3. The Customer can only take notice of the fact of registration from the written confirmation from SevenLab stating that the requested domain name is registered. An invoice for registration fees is not a confirmation of registration.
