    executive staff.
  2. MOOI PR is not liable for variations, faults and defects which remained undetected in the test items approved or adjusted by the Client. In the event of a complaint from or a

  3. MOOI PR always has the right, if and to the extent possible, to undo or
    limit the loss sustained by the Client.
  4. The Client indemnifies MOOI PR and will compensate MOOI PR in respect of any and all claims by third parties which relate directly or indirectly to the
    performance of the agreement and all associated financial consequences.

Terms of delivery for outsourced work
Article 15

For work outsourced by MOOI PR to third parties with the Client’s consent, the Client not only has to adhere to these general terms and conditions but also to the third party’s terms and conditions which are then applicable to that work. Where such outsourced work is concerned, MOOI PR outsources the work in the Client’s name and at the Client’s expense.

Other provisions
Article 16

MOOI PR regards all the Client’s assignments as having been issued to ‘the organisation’, even if it is the Client’s explicit or implicit intention that the assignment be performed by a particular individual. The applicability of Section 7:404 of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), which provides for a scheme in the latter case,
is hereby excluded. In addition,
the applicability of Section 7:407(2), which creates joint and several liability
for those cases in which an assignment is issued to two or more persons, is hereby expressly
excluded.

Applicable law
Article 17

All legal relationships between the Client and MOOI PR are governed by Dutch law. Any and all disputes will be submitted exclusively to the
competent court of Amsterdam.
