  2. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in Writing, the applicability of other general conditions is excluded.
  3. Deviations from or additions to these general terms and conditions shall only be valid if expressly agreed in Writing.
  4. If and insofar as no appeal can be made to any provision of these general terms and conditions on the grounds of reasonableness and fairness or its unreasonably onerous nature, the provision in question will in any case be accorded a meaning corresponding as closely as possible to its content and purport, so that an appeal can be made to it.

  6. Labm8 is entitled to engage Third Parties for the execution of the Agreement.
  7. Resale by the Other party of the Product is expressly not permitted, without the Written consent of Labm8.

 

Article 4 - The offer

  1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
  2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the Products, digital content and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the Other Party. If Labm8 uses images, these are a true reflection of the Products, services and/or digital content offered. Obvious errors or mistakes concerning, for example, the amounts displayed are not binding on Labm8.

 

Article 5 - The agreement

  1. The agreement is concluded at the moment the Other Party accepts the offer and fulfils the conditions laid down.
  2. If any provision of these general terms and conditions or an agreement proves to be invalid or is voided, this shall not affect the validity of the general terms and conditions or the agreement as a whole. The parties shall consult together in order to agree on a new provision to replace the void or voided provision, taking into account, as far as possible, the objective and purport of the void or voided provision.
  3. Labm8 reserves the right not to execute an agreement, for example if it has reasonable doubt or information that the Other Party will not (be able to) meet its (financial) obligations.
