The Client must notify LEKKER Bikes of defects that could not in reason have been discovered within the above mentioned period in writing immediately after discovery, but in any case no later than within 14 days of the receipt of the Products. Should the Client fail to inform LEKKER Bikes within the above mentioned term, its rights to exercise any of its rights with regard to such irregularity or defect have lapsed, notwithstanding the applicability of a possible shorter period applied by a carrier or other third party further to article 9.1 above.

12.2 The Client shall be obliged to immediately cease the use of the Products concerned after discovering any irregularity or defect, under penalty of lapse of the right to exercise any of its rights with regard to such irregularity or defect.

14.2 If a force majeure situation has lasted for 1 month, both parties have the right to dissolve the Agreement in writing entirely or in part. In the event of force majeure of LEKKER Bikes, Client is not entitled to any compensation or damages, not even if LEKKER Bikes would enjoy any benefit as a result of such force majeure.

14.3 Force majeure on the part of LEKKER Bikes is to be understood as a case of overmacht as mentioned in article 6:75 Australia Civil Code, and furthermore any circumstance beyond the control of LEKKER Bikes hindering the fulfilment of its obligations towards Client entirely or in part or because of which LEKKER Bikes cannot be expected in all fairness to fulfil its obligations, regardless whether such circumstance could have been foreseen at the time when the Agreement was concluded. Such circumstances include but are not limited to fires, acts of terrorism, strikes and lockouts, stagnation or other production problems suffered by LEKKER Bikes or its suppliers, or problems in the transportation provided by LEKKER Bikes or any third parties, any government measures, as well as the inability to obtain any permit or licence from any governmental body.

15.1 LEKKER Bikes warrants only those features, qualities of its Products that are explicitly agreed in writing.

15.2 If LEKKER Bikes should deliver Products to the Client which LEKKER Bikes has obtained from its own suppliers, LEKKER Bikes shall at no time be obliged to honour a warranty or liability in respect of the Client which is more far-reaching than that which LEKKER Bikes can claim from its own supplier.

15.3 If, in LEKKER Bikes opinion, the Client has been able to prove that any Products supplied by LEKKER Bikes to the Client do not function properly, LEKKER Bikes may choose, at its sole discretion, between:
• re-supplying the Products upon the return of the Products;
• modifying the Products properly;
• to grant the Client a discount on the purchase price to be agreed by mutual consent.
LEKKER Bikes shall be fully discharged of its warranty obligations by complying with one of the options described above, and it shall not be held to pay any further compensation or damages.

15.4 The Products shall remain completely for the Client’s risk even if LEKKER Bikes should carry out any repairs to the Products.

16.1 Any liability of LEKKER Bikes shall at all times be limited to the sum insured that shall be paid in such case under the liability insurance policies taken out by LEKKER Bikes. These insurance policies have limited cover, inter alia with respect to the amount of the damages and the number of insured events per year. Upon request thereto, access may be obtained to the insurance cover note. Should no payment be made by virtue of aforementioned insurance policies, regardless of the grounds, the liability of LEKKER Bikes shall be limited to the fee that was invoiced by LEKKER Bikes and paid by Client in connection with the delivery at hand during a twelve month period directly preceding the date on which the event leading to liability occurred, up to a maximum liability of € 10,000 (ten thousand Euro’s).

16.2 In the event that LEKKER Bikes involves third parties, LEKKER Bikes shall not accept any liability whatsoever for failure to perform on the part of such third party except for failure to perform on the part of LEKKER Bikes itself – to which article 15.1 applies. If the Client brings legal action directly against a third party, the Client shall indemnify LEKKER Bikes against any claims by such third party in connection with such claim as well as against all expenses to be incurred by LEKKER Bikes.

16.3 All rights of legal action and other powers of the Client towards LEKKER Bikes in connection with the Products delivered by LEKKER Bikes shall lapse upon expiry of a one year term after the date on which the Client has become aware of – or could in all fairness have been aware of – the existence of such rights and powers.

17.1 If Client fails to fulfil any of its obligations arising from the Agreement properly or in time, Client shall be in default and LEKKER Bikes shall be entitled without any default notice:
• to suspend the fulfilment of the Agreement until payment has been adequately guaranteed; and/or
• to dissolve the Agreement with Client entirely or in part;
all this without prejudice to LEKKER Bikes other rights under any Agreement whatsoever and without LEKKER Bikes being held to any damages.

17.2 If LEKKER Bikes exercises its right of dissolution as mentioned in article 17.1, LEKKER Bikes is authorized to set off any amount which may possibly be refunded to Client with a remuneration for activities already carried out as well as with a compensation for loss of profit.

17.3 In the event of bankruptcy, (provisional) suspension of payment, liquidation or attachment of one or more assets of Client or if Client is aware that any of these situations may occur, Client must notify LEKKER Bikes thereof as soon as possible.

17.4 In case of a situation as referred to in article 17.3, all Agreements with Client shall be dissolved by operation of law, unless LEKKER Bikes notifies Client that it wishes (part of) the Agreement concerned to be fulfilled, in which case LEKKER Bikes is entitled without any default notice:
• to suspend fulfilment of the Agreement(s) concerned until payment has been adequately guaranteed; and/or
• to suspend all its payment obligations, if any, towards Client;
all this without prejudice to LEKKER Bikes other rights under any Agreement whatsoever and without LEKKER Bikes being held to any damages.

In such case, LEKKER Bikes shall not be liable for any damages. Client cannot transfer to third parties any rights or obligations from any Agreement unless after consent thereto by LEKKER Bikes.

An Agreement, including these Terms, is a comprehensive representation of the rights and obligations of parties and shall replace all prior written and verbal arrangements, statements, expressions or acts by parties.

If and insofar as any provision of these terms cannot be invoked due to any imperative rule of law, the unfair character of these Terms or grounds of reasonableness and fairness, the provision concerned, as far as contents and essence are concerned, shall in all events have a corresponding meaning to such an extent that the provision concerned may indeed be rightfully invoked.

21.1 The law of The Netherlands shall be applicable to the present Terms and to all other Agreements. The applicability of the Uniform Law on the International Sale of Movable Property, the Uniform Law on the Formation of International Contracts for the Sale of Goods as well as the Vienna Convention on the Sale of goods is excluded.

21.2 Any disputes arising from the Agreement or these Terms shall be brought exclusively before the competent court of Amsterdam.
