changed accordingly.

must therefore be paid by the Client. If the third party invoices the cancellation costs to Triple Double, Triple Double will charge the Client for these costs.

make and execute a correct reservation. This includes, for instance, the

the Client failed to perform the obligations under article 5 of these general
terms and conditions.

was submitted in time with respect to a legitimate shortcoming, Triple Double
will ensure performance of the Agreement within a reasonable term.

Client is obliged to prove this argument sufficiently to Triple Double by
providing information, details and records.
12.9. If the Client breaches (intellectual property) rights of Triple Double, including

of €1,000.00 for each day that the breach continues, with a part of a day also
being considered a full day, with a maximum of €100,000.00. The penalty does
not affect the right of Triple Double to claim compensation or performance
from the Client for the damage that it has suffered as a result of the Client's
actions.
13.1. Triple Double has the right to suspend the performance of the obligations or
terminate the Agreement without being subject a notice period in case:

be able to comply with them, and the part complied with or to be complied with has independent value, Triple Double has the right to send a separate invoice for the part complied with or to be complied with. The Client is obliged to pay these invoices as if they concerned a separate Agreement.
16.1. Both Parties are obliged to keep confidential all confidential information they
have received from each other or from other sources within the scope of the
Agreement. Information is considered confidential if the other party has stated
