7.4 Any obligation on the part of PURE-EFFECTS to pay damages shall be limited to direct losses up to the amount of the stipulated price, excluding VAT, and other levies imposed by the government, provided Buyer has paid said price. If the agreement is essentially a term agreement for a period of more than 1 year, the stipulated price shall be determined on the basis of the total amount of the price stipulated for 1 year, excluding VAT and other levies imposed by the government, insofar as Buyer has paid these. Under no circumstance shall the indemnity owed by PURE-EFFECTS exceed the amount paid by PURE-EFFECTS in connection with the mentioned obligation to pay damages under the liability insurance.

8.3 If PURE-EFFECTS has already fulfilled part of its obligations at the time the force majeure occurs, or is only partially able to fulfil its obligations, it shall have the right to invoice the supplied and/or deliverable part separately and Buyer shall be obligated to pay such invoices as if they concerned a separate agreement.
Article 9 – Confidential information, non-compete clause and protection
9.1 Buyer shall see to it that third parties do not (are not able to) acquire knowledge of any information of a confidential nature provided by PURE-EFFECTS – or of the information obtained from PURE-EFFECTS and flowing from the implementation of the agreement – due to actions or omissions of third parties and/or employees and other agents. Information shall in any case be deemed confidential if PURE-EFFECTS has declared it as such.
9.2 Buyer shall not hire any employees and/or other agents of PURE-EFFECTS for the duration of the agreement and during one year after the expiration of the agreement without the consent of PURE-EFFECTS, and shall refrain from any involvement in economic activities of employees and/or other agents of PURE-EFFECTS who were involved in (supplying) the stipulated performance(s).

9.4 PURE-EFFECTS does not guarantee that the protection (of the information) will be effective under all circumstances but will make every effort to ensure that the protection is satisfactory at a level that is not unreasonable in view of the state of the technology and the associated costs. PURE-EFFECTS may take technical measures against any unlawful use and/or against any use or for any purpose other than what was stipulated. Buyer shall be obligated to safeguard these protective measures and to not remove them or circumvent them or allow them to be removed or circumvented.
Article 10 – Delivery and acceptance of the products
10.1 Deadlines announced by PURE-EFFECTS have been determined to the best of PURE-EFFECTS’s knowledge on the basis of the information available when the agreement was established but are not an integral part of the agreement and shall be observed by PURE-EFFECTS to the extent possible. PURE-EFFECTS shall not be in default by merely missing a deadline and Buyer may not derive a right to dissolve the agreement in whole or in part nor claim damages based on the mere fact that PURE-EFFECTS missed an announced deadline. Deadlines do not apply if they cannot be honoured because of circumstances beyond the control of PURE-EFFECTS which occurred after the agreement was established. Deadlines shall become valid only when an agreement has been reached concerning all commercial and technical details and when all necessary information is in possession of PURE-EFFECTS, the stipulated (term) payment has been received and the conditions necessary for the implementation of the agreement have been fulfilled.
10.2 Buyer shall be obligated to take delivery of the products within the stipulated deadlines. If no deadlines have been stipulated, Buyer shall be obligated to take delivery of the products upon the first request of PURE-EFFECTS. Buyer shall be immediately in default in case of a violation of the obligations set forth for this purpose in this Article.
10.3 Products supplied by PURE-EFFECTS to which Buyer has not objected in writing within seven days after delivery and/or implementation thereof shall be deemed to be in compliance with the agreement.

10.5 If PURE-EFFECTS supplies products supplied by or purchased from third parties, the conditions for the products in addition to and applicable with priority to the agreement between PURE-EFFECTS and Buyer (including these General Terms and Conditions) shall apply with respect to (the suitability of and guarantee for) such products.
10.6 If no other place of delivery has been stipulated, the products shall be delivered by PURE-EFFECTS at the seat of the company PURE-EFFECTS (Ex Works, according to the latest version of the Incoterms). PURE-EFFECTS shall not be obligated to deliver the products to a location other than the stipulated location. PURE-EFFECTS shall have the right to comply with delivery obligations in parts.

10.7 The transport and shipment of the products to be supplied to Buyer by PURE-EFFECTS shall be for the account of Buyer at the prices quoted by PURE-EFFECTS, unless explicitly stipulated otherwise in writing.
10.8 The cost of implementing the instructions and/or additions to the agreement requested by Buyer and accepted by PURE-EFFECTS with the prior consent of Buyer shall be for the account of Buyer.
10.9 Notwithstanding Articles 5.1, 10.2 and 10.6, the products to be supplied by PURE-EFFECTS shall be for the risk of Buyer as of the moment in which (an agent of) Buyer has the actual power of disposition over these products and/or as of the date on which Buyer is in default of taking delivery of the products to be supplied by PURE-EFFECTS.
10.10 PURE-EFFECTS shall not be obligated, without its prior written consent, to accept any products returned by Buyer to PURE-EFFECTS. The acceptance of any products returned by Buyer shall not imply that PURE-EFFECTS accepts the reason for their return. Buyer shall owe the stipulated amount until PURE-EFFECTS credits Buyer for such products. If PURE-EFFECTS does not accept returned products, Buyer shall be obligated to reimburse PURE-EFFECTS for any costs incurred by PURE-EFFECTS in connection with the returned products. If Buyer makes products available to PURE-EFFECTS, Buyer shall be responsible for ensuring that such products satisfy the specifications necessary for executing the order.
10.11 (Spare)parts supplied by PURE-EFFECTS are solely designed and meant for specific products of PURE-EFFECTS. These (spare)parts are entitled for the sole use of reparation and/or replacement of specific products of PURE-EFFECTS (and thus explicitly not for alternative purposes). PURE-EFFECTS is only obliged to have (spare)parts for the Products during the warranty period.
Article 11 – Warranty
