Article 11 Force majeure

1. Hustle & Heart Consultancy is not bound by its obligations under the Agreement if fulfillment has become impossible due to force majeure. If the force majeure continues for a period of 60 days, both Parties are entitled to dissolve the Agreement. What has already been performed pursuant to the Agreement will then be settled proportionately.
2. In its activities Hustle & Heart Consultancy is dependent on the cooperation, services and deliveries of third parties, over which Hustle & Heart Consultancy has little or no influence.

4. Hustle & Heart Consultancy can terminate the Agreement in whole or in part without notice of default and without judicial intervention by written notification with immediate effect if there are urgent reasons, including in any case the cases in which:

• the Customer is granted a (provisional) suspension of payment;
• bankruptcy is filed or pronounced with regard to the Customer;
• there is a suspicion that the Customer cannot meet his/her payment obligations when the Agreement is extended;

5. If at the time of the dissolution as referred to in Articles 12.3 and 12.4 the Customer has already received performances for the execution of the Agreement, these performances and the associated payment obligations will not be subject to cancellation. Amounts that Hustle & Heart Consultancy has invoiced before the dissolution in connection with what it has already performed or delivered in execution of the Agreement, will remain due in full with due observance of the provisions of the previous sentence and will become immediately due and payable at the time of the dissolution.

 

Article 13 Conformity

1. When executing the Agreement, Hustle & Heart Consultancy will strive for the intended result agreed in the quotation for as much as possible.

2. If the Customer includes provisions or conditions in his/her order that deviate from, or do not appear in, these General Terms and Conditions, these are only binding for Hustle & Heart Consultancy if and insofar as they have been expressly accepted by Hustle & Heart Consultancy in writing.
