Implementation support starts on the date of the session and lasts a maximum of thirty (30) days, unless agreed otherwise in writing. Implementation support takes place via one pre-agreed communication channel (e.g. email or WhatsApp), so that all communication takes place in one location. Implementation support includes:

Implementation support explicitly does not include:
- Developing new strategies, funnels or marketing structures;
- Analysing new products or programmes that were not part of the original assignment;
- Rewriting or producing texts by Anneloes Zuiderveen;
- Operational work.
After the implementation period has ended, the right to support lapses.
If the Client wishes additional work during the implementation period that falls outside the original recommendations, this shall be considered new work and additional costs may be charged.
16 Dissolution
- Each Party may dissolve the Agreement without notice of default and without judicial intervention by registered letter with immediate effect, in whole or in part, if the other party is granted (provisional) suspension of payments, if the bankruptcy of the other party is applied for, if the business of the other party is liquidated or terminated other than for the purpose of reconstruction, reorganisation or merger of businesses. The Party dissolving the Agreement shall not be liable for damages to the other party.
- If the Agreement is terminated and Anneloes Zuiderveen has already performed work at that time, these services and the corresponding payment obligations shall remain in force, unless Anneloes Zuiderveen has failed in the performance of the Agreement. All amounts that the Client still owes for the Agreement shall remain due and must be paid immediately upon termination of the Agreement, regardless of whether an invoice has already been sent.
17 Liability
Anneloes Zuiderveen is only liable to the Client:
- In the event of an attributable failure in the performance of the Agreement, and then only for substitute compensation, i.e. compensation of the value of the performance that did not take place, or
- In the event of a tortious act attributable to Anneloes Zuiderveen in which damage or physical injury to persons has been caused.
- Any liability of Anneloes Zuiderveen for any other form of damage is excluded, including but not limited to supplementary compensation, indirect damage, consequential damage, loss of turnover or profit, delay damage, loss of data, damage resulting from exceeding deadlines due to changed circumstances, and damage resulting from information or advice given by Anneloes Zuiderveen the content of which does not expressly form part of the Agreement.
- Anneloes Zuiderveen has the right to prevent or reduce the damage as far as possible.
- The compensation owed by Anneloes Zuiderveen pursuant to the preceding provisions shall not exceed the amount paid by the Client for the work in question.
- Notwithstanding paragraph 4, in the case of an Agreement with a term exceeding 3 months, the liability shall be further limited to the portion of the agreed fee due over the last 3 months.
- Anneloes Zuiderveen is only liable for an attributable failure if the Client gives her written and timely notice of default. A reasonable period must be given to remedy the failure. If Anneloes Zuiderveen remains in default after that period, Anneloes Zuiderveen may be held liable. The notice of default must describe as clearly as possible what went wrong, so that Anneloes Zuiderveen has the opportunity to respond appropriately.

- The Client indemnifies Anneloes Zuiderveen against all claims by third parties related to the performance of the Agreement.

The Agreement may be terminated if the force majeure situation lasts longer than ninety (90) days. The Parties shall have no mutual obligation to pay compensation.
- Force majeure in these general terms and conditions is understood to mean, in addition to what is understood in law and jurisprudence, all external causes, foreseen or unforeseen, over which Anneloes Zuiderveen has no influence, but which prevent Anneloes Zuiderveen from fulfilling her obligations. This includes, but is not limited to: illness and incapacity for work in the business of Anneloes Zuiderveen, strikes, fire or other business disruptions. Anneloes Zuiderveen may also invoke force majeure if the circumstance that prevents (further) performance occurs after Anneloes Zuiderveen should have fulfilled her obligations.
- Insofar as Anneloes Zuiderveen has already partially performed or will be able to partially perform the Agreement at the time the force majeure situation arises, and this part has independent value, Anneloes Zuiderveen may invoice the performed or to-be-performed part separately. The Client shall pay this invoice as if it were a separate agreement.
20 Confidentiality
- Both Parties are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information that they have obtained from each other or from other sources in the context of their Agreement. Information is considered confidential if the other Party has communicated this, or if this follows from the nature of the information. Anneloes Zuiderveen shall impose her obligations under this provision on any third parties engaged.
- Notwithstanding paragraph 1, Anneloes Zuiderveen may, when acting on her own behalf in civil or criminal proceedings, use the information provided by the Client insofar as this may, in her judgement, be relevant to her defence.
- The obligation of confidentiality shall lapse if the information is available from public sources. Furthermore, a Party may make confidential information available to government institutions if this is required by law or by competent order. In that case, the Party shall inform the other Party as soon as possible.
- The obligations under this article shall continue to exist after the termination of the Agreement.
21 Intellectual Property and Copyright
- Anneloes Zuiderveen reserves all rights with respect to products of the mind that she uses, has used or has developed in the context of the performance of the Agreement, insofar as these rights arise from the law.

- Anneloes Zuiderveen may use knowledge gained for other purposes.
22 Limitation Period
