look-and-feel, interfaces, lay-out or other materials subject to Intellectual Property Rights
infringes the Agreement and the applicable legislation.
8.3. The Client is not permitted to modify the Software in whole or in part, without the prior

under these General Terms and Conditions, the Agreement or otherwise, and in all other
respects the Client will not make copies of or publish the software.

Agreement or issued Licence is deemed an infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights.
The Client shall pay to Paazl a penalty due and payable immediately amounting to EUR
10,000 for each act of infringement and EUR 1.000,- for each day that the infringement
continues, without prejudice to the right of Paazl to demand compensation for loss or damage
as a result of the infringement or to take other legal action for the purpose of terminating the
infringement.

ARTICLE 9. PRICES

9.1 Unless expressly stated otherwise with regard to an amount, all prices referred to by Paazl
are exclusive of turnover tax (VAT) and other duties levied by the government.
9.2 Updates are included in the fees stated by Paazl for Maintenance, if an SLA is part of the

the Client does not agree the increase of the prices, it will have the right to terminate the
Agreement effective as at the date it enters into effect. However, if a supplier of Paazl
increases its prices in the interim, Paazl is entitled to pass on this increase immediately to the
Client on a 1-on-1 basis, without the Client being able to terminate the Agreement. Paazl will
provide written notification of price adjustments.

additional amount if it turns out that the Client, due to organisational changes, no longer
satisfies the conditions determined for him upon entering into the Agreement.

between the onboarding costs of the previous and new licence, as described in the proposal,
must be paid additionally by Client.

ARTICLE 10. TERMS OF PAYMENT

10.1. Paazl shall invoice the Client in advance for any non-recurring amounts payable. The

unlawful acts or otherwise. Insofar as exclusion of liability is not possible pursuant to the law,
Paazl shall only be liable to the Client for direct loss or damage as a result of an attributable
shortcoming in the fulfilment of the Agreement. Direct loss or damage is understood
exclusively to comprise any loss or damage consisting of:
a) Damage inflicted directly on tangible objects (“property loss or damage”);
b) Reasonable and demonstrable costs that the Client had to incur to remind Paazl to
properly comply (again) with the Agreement;
c) Reasonable costs incurred in determining the cause and the extent of the loss or damage,

functionalities. Paazl in no way can be held liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage
arising from those modifications. Client will need to explicitly accept and test the modifications
conducted by Paazl before using the SaaS. Client is always liable and responsible for these
modifications.
12.5 Where claims are covered by our insurance, the maximum amount that can be paid out in the
event of liability pursuant to section 2 of the present article is limited for each event causing
loss or damage, or for each series of events causing loss or damage, to the amount of such
available insurance coverage.
12.6 Where claims are not covered by our insurance, the maximum amount that can be paid out in

or damage exceed a sum of EUR 3,000 (excluding VAT).
12.7 The exclusions and limitations of liability referred to in the preceding articles cease to apply if
and insofar as the loss or damage is a consequence of an intentional act or wilful
recklessness on the part of Paazl’s management.
12.8 Paazl’s liability for an attributable failure to perform the Agreement will only arise if the Client
gives Paazl proper notice of default in writing without delay, providing a reasonable period to
remedy its failure, and Paazl continues to attributably fail to comply with its obligations even
after that period. The notice of default must contain the most detailed description possible of
the failure to fulfil the obligations to enable Paazl to provide an adequate response.
12.9 Any claim for compensation for loss or damage by the Client against Paazl that has not been
specified and expressly notified by the Client, shall lapse by the mere passage of twelve (12)
months after the claim has arisen.
12.10 Application of Section 6:271 et seq. of the Dutch Civil Code is excluded.
12.11 The Client indemnifies Paazl against all claims by third parties (including customers of the
Client), which involve compensation for damage, costs or interest and bear a relation to the
Agreement, the Service and/or the use of the Software.

ARTICLE 13. FORCE MAJEURE

13.1. Neither Party may be bound to perform any obligation if a circumstance beyond the Parties’
control, that could not or should not have been foreseen when the Agreement was entered
into, negates every reasonable opportunity to perform.
13.2. Force majeure shall be understood to include (but not only): failures of public infrastructure
that is normally available to Paazl and on which the delivery of the Services depends, but over
which Paazl has no actual control or in respect of which Paazl can make no contractual
obligation to perform, such as Internet networks with which Paazl has not concluded a contract; failures of the Paazl infrastructure and/or Services of Paazl caused by computer crimes, such as DOS or DDOS attacks or successful or unsuccessful attempts to circumvent network security or systems security; failures of Paazl’s suppliers, which Paazl was unable to foresee and where Paazl is unable to hold their supplier liable, because force majeure similarly applied to the relevant supplier, for instance; defective items, equipment, software or
other source material, the use of which has been stipulated by the Client; unavailability of staff (due to illness or otherwise); government measures; general transport problems; strikes; wars; terrorist attacks; and civil commotion.
13.3. Either of the Parties shall have the right to terminate the contract in writing if a situation of
force majeure persists for more than thirty (30) days. In such case, that which has already
been performed under the contract will be paid for on a proportional basis without the Parties
owing each other anything else.

ARTICLE 14. CONFIDENTIALITY

14.1 The Parties will treat the information they provide each other before, during or after the
performance of this Agreement as confidential if such information has been marked as
confidential or if the receiving party is aware or should reasonably assume that the
information was intended to be confidential. The Parties will also impose this obligation on
their employees, as well as on any third parties they have engaged to perform the Agreement.
14.2 Paazl will not access data stored by the Client and/or distributed by the Client via Paazl’s
systems and/or Software, unless this is required to ensure the proper performance of the
Agreement or Paazl is obliged to do so pursuant to a legal provision or an injunction. In such
case, Paazl will undertake to limit access to the information as far as possible, to the extent
that this is within its power.
14.3 Client agrees to the processing of data stored by and/or distributed by the Client via Paazl’s
system and/or Software on aggregated level in order to improve the Software and Services.
14.4 Paazl will not share any data with any third parties unless this is required to ensure the proper
performance of the Agreement or Paazl is obliged to do so pursuant to a legal provision or an
injunction. In such case, Paazl will undertake to limit access to the information as far as
possible, to the extent that this is within its power.
14.5 The duty of confidentiality also remains in force after termination of the Agreement for any
reason whatsoever, and for as long as the party providing the information can reasonably lay
claim to the confidential nature of the information.

ARTICLE 15. DURATION AND TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT

15.1 The Agreement is entered into for the term stated in the License Agreement. If no term is
stated, the Agreement will be entered into for a period of thirty-six (36) months. The
Agreement can only be terminated prematurely as stipulated in these General Terms and
Conditions, or subject to the approval of both parties.

b) The Client applies for a suspension of payments.
c) A petition has been filed for winding up the Client’s business.
d) The Client’s activities are halted or wound up.
15.5 If Paazl suspends compliance with the obligations, this will not affect its statutory rights or
rights under the Agreement, including the right to payment for the Services it has suspended.
15.6 Upon termination of the agreement, any claims of Paazl against the Client will become
immediately due and payable. In the event that the Agreement is terminated, the amounts
already invoiced for the performance already delivered will remain payable without any
obligation to nullify. In the event that the Client terminates the Agreement, Paazl may only
terminate that part of the Agreement that Paazl has not yet performed. If the termination is
attributable to the Client, Paazl is entitled to compensation of any loss or damage arising
either directly or indirectly as a result thereof.
15.7 In the abovementioned cases, the right to suspension applies to all the Agreements with the
Client simultaneously, even if the Client is only in default with regard to one Agreement, and
without prejudice to Paazl’s right to compensation of loss or damage, lost profit and interest.

termination, dissolution or another method of termination of the Agreement.

period of thirty (30) days following the announcement of the amendment.

Non-substantive minor changes can be implemented at all times, without requiring notification. 16.3. If the Client does not wish to accept an amendment, it must inform Paazl thereof, in writing, within fourteen (14) days of being notified thereof, stating reasons.

required, however, in the event of a company takeover or the acquisition of the majority of the
shares of the relevant party.

20.1. The Client accepts that the On Premise Software contain only the functionality and other
features as found by the Client in the On Premise Software at the time of delivery (“as is”), i.e.
with all visible and invisible errors and defects. Unless otherwise agreed by means of an SLA,
Paazl does not guarantee that the On Premise Software will be available at all times and
without interruptions or defects.
20.2. Paazl is not obliged to rectify problems/defects in the On Premise Software that are identified
more than three (3) months after delivery and are attributable to changes in the environment
or other technical factors (including browsers, infrastructure, operating systems and modified
standards).
20.3. Modifications that are required to be carried out as a result of technical factors as referred to
in the preceding section shall be performed in Minor Updates. Insofar as possible, Paazl will
state in advance the costs for these activities if they are not included in the next Minor
Update.
20.4. The Client is aware that the Paazl has no control of the hardware and infrastructure on which
the On Premise Software has been installed. Paazl therefore does not provide any
guarantees with regard to the availability of the hardware and infrastructure, and the
availability of the On Premise Software as a result of non-availability of the hardware and/or
infrastructure.

DELIVERY OF SOFTWARE-AS-A-SERVICE
If the Service comprises (in part) the delivery of the SaaS, the provisions of this module shall also
apply.

ARTICLE 21. USE OF THE SERVICE

21.1 The SaaS will be made available to the Client as online software service (software-as-a-
service) from the Starting Date or any other date agreed in writing. Paazl shall inform the

Client of when the SaaS is made available.
21.2 Paazl shall endeavour to send the login details of the SaaS to the Client as soon as possible
after the Starting Date of the Agreement. The Client is aware that loss of these login details
can lead to unauthorised access to the SaaS. The Client shall protect the login details against
unauthorised access and unauthorised persons.
21.3 Paazl hereby grants the Client a non-exclusive and non-transferable right of use for the
duration of the Agreement in order to use the SaaS in accordance with the Agreement and
these General terms and Conditions.
21.4 In particular, the Client must keep the password strictly confidential. Paazl may assume that
everything that takes place from the account of the Client after login with the associated user
name and password, takes place under the management and supervision of the Client. This
means that the Client is liable for all these actions, unless the Client has informed Paazl that
another person knows the password.
21.5 In the event of suspected misuse of the account, the Client is required to inform Paazl without
delay and the Client is required to change the (login) details.
21.6 Personal data are processed when using the SaaS. The provisions in Article 11 of these

22.1 The Client guarantees that the SaaS will not be used for activities that conflict with Dutch law
or other applicable laws and regulations.

the SaaS on behalf of third parties, or to provide access to the account to third parties.
22.3 In particular, it is prohibited to use the SaaS in such a way that it causes nuisance or
inconvenience to third parties. This includes using own scripts or programs to upload or
download large quantities of data, or excessive use of the SaaS.
22.4 The Client is prohibited to test the limits of the SaaS. This includes but is not limited to stress
testing of the Software. If Paazl ascertains that the Client has violated this condition, Paazl
has the right to block Clients account temporarily or permanently to safeguard the stability and
proper performance of the SaaS.
22.5 In addition, it is prohibited to use the SaaS:
– to distribute information that is pornographic or erotic (even if this is legal in itself);
– to distribute information in violation of copyrights, or to place hyperlinks to such
information;
– to violate the privacy of third parties, for instance by distributing third-party personal data
without permission or necessity, or repeatedly harassing third parties by providing them
with unwanted communications.
If Paazl ascertains that the Client has violated the above conditions, or receives a complaint, it
will give the Client a warning. If this does not lead to a satisfactory solution, Paazl itself may
intervene to end the violation. In urgent or serious cases, Paazl may intervene without
warning.
22.6 If, at Paazl’s discretion, the operation of Paazl’s computer systems or network, third-party
networks and/or service provision via the internet is obstructed, damaged or otherwise put at
risk, in particular as a result of excessive amounts of data being sent, leaked personal data or
virus activity, Trojan horses and similar software, Paazl is authorised to take any reasonable
measures it deems necessary to avert or prevent such risk.
22.7 Paazl is entitled at all times to report any criminal acts discovered. In addition, Paazl is
authorised to provide the Client’s name, address and other identification data to a third party
who has complained that the Client has breached its rights or the Agreement, provided that,
according to the principles of reasonableness and fairness, the accuracy of the particular
complaint is sufficiently plausible and the third party has a clear interest in being provided with
these data.
22.8 Paazl may recover from the Client any losses or damage suffered as a result of violation of
these rules of conduct. The Client indemnifies Paazl against all third-party claims pertaining to
losses or damage arising from a violation of these rules of use.

ARTICLE 23. AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE

that Paazl has pledged an explicit result in the SLA and the relevant result has also been
adequately described.
23.2. Paazl will make the SaaS available via the internet and ensure that it achieves the best
possible response time for this for the Client.
23.3. Paazl has the right to take its systems, including the SaaS, in their entirety or in part,
temporarily out of operation for the purpose of maintenance (planned or unplanned),
adjustment, or improvement. Paazl will endeavour to ensure that as far as possible any
downtime periods are scheduled outside office hours, and will undertake to inform the Client
in good time of the scheduling of downtime periods. However, Paazl is never liable for
compensation for damages arising from such downtime periods.
23.4. Paazl has the right to adapt its systems, including the SaaS, in their entirety or in part, from
time to time in order to improve their functionality and/or to correct errors. If an adjustment

In the event of modifications that are relevant to multiple clients, it is not possible to waive a
specific modification only for the Client. Paazl is not liable for any compensation for loss or
damage resulting from such a modification.
23.5. In the event of unavailability of the SaaS due to disruptions, maintenance or other causes,
Paazl will make every effort to inform the Customer of the nature and expected duration of the
interruption.

ARTICLE 24. PROCEDURE UPON TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT

24.1 After termination of the Agreement, as a result of cancellation, all data stored for the Client will
be kept available until one week after the termination, so that the Client itself can download
the data. After this period, all Client data will be deleted, regardless of whether the Client has
downloaded it or not, unless otherwise agreed by means of an SLA. Paazl is not obliged to
provide the Client with back-up files on its own initiative, unless agreed otherwise in writing by
means of an SLA.
24.2 The deletion of data stored for the Client will take place as standard without special
precautions to make the deletion irreversible, but can on request be carried out, against
additional payment, with the use of a software-based data shredder.
