Consultancy services are provided on best-effort basis, also if Saysimple has promised a certain result.
6.2 If Parties have agreed that the consultancy services are provided in stages, Saysimple has the right to postpone the start of a stage until Client has approved the result of the preceding stage in writing.

6.4 If it has been established that consultancy services are provided by a certain person, Saysimple nevertheless has the right, after informing Client accordingly, to replace this person by another.
7.1 All IP rights to the Service, including in any case the Portal, API, and the Website, as well as the information rendered accessible through the Portal and Service, including any results following from consultancy, vest exclusively in Saysimple and/or its licensor(s). Client only obtains the user rights which are attributed to him in this article and/or through the Agreement.
7.2 Except as permitted under mandatory, overriding law, Client may not alter, reproduce, or decompile the Service, nor apply reverse engineering to the Portal. Nor is it permitted to Client to take any action with the purpose or tenor of identifying or obtaining the source code of the Portal and/or Service, or to deploy third parties or provide assistance for such actions or to remove any marking regarding IP rights, also including any possible indications about the confidential character and the non-disclosure of works.

By making use of the Service, Client grants Saysimple a royalty-free, unencumbered, sub-licensable, non-exclusive license for the use and reproduction of the Content and/or Messages, to the extent this is necessary for the provision of the Service and to carry out analyses of anonymised Content.

7.5 Saysimple has the right to include a possible trade name, brand name, or company logo of the Client in the public client portfolio of Saysimple.
8.1 Through the Service, Content can be sentby means of Messages via various channels.

Saysimple has the right not to exchange Messages in case of insufficient User information.
8.2 Client acknowledges that the delivery and receipt of Messages depends on telecom companies, mobile network operators, internet service providers, cross-platform instant messaging services, possibly other third parties, and the validity of an existing authorised channel User account and/or (mobile) phone number of the recipient.
8.3 Saysimple will exert itself to deliver Messages of Client as soon as possible but cannot guarantee a specific minimum or maximum delivery time. For Messages it applies emphatically that the successful delivery or receipt of these Messages cannot be guaranteed as channels regularly modify their software, which may disturb a link to the Services.
8.4 If and to the extent the proper implementation of the Agreement requires this, Saysimple has the right to have certain activities carried out by third parties. Any possible related additional costs are borne by Saysimple, unless established otherwise.
8.5 Client is bound to take and refrain from all those actions which are necessary and desirable to enable the implementation of the Service and the Agreement. Client will especially make sure that all data of which Saysimple indicates that they are necessary or of which Client should reasonably understand that they are necessary for the implementation of the Service, will be timely and adequately provided to Saysimple.
8.6 If a SIM-card is furnished by Client to Saysimple, it will only be used by Saysimple to provide the Service.

9.1 Messages which have been sent by Saysimple for Client are deducted by Saysimple from the number of Messages or MAC’s to be sent which was purchased by Client.
9.2 Because Saysimple cannot guarantee the delivery of Messages due to its dependence on third parties, Saysimple does not refund any possible undelivered Messages to Client.

9.4 Saysimple will not send any Messages if the Messages credit of the Client is finished.
10.1 Saysimple will exert itself to provide the Services as well as possible but does not give any guarantees with regard to its performances, unless Client has purchased an SLA containing such guarantees.
10.2 In case it is necessary for maintenance, modification, or improvement of the Service(s), Saysimple has the right to temporarily deactivate its systems, including the Portal and the Website, or parts of it. Saysimple will attempt to let such a decommissioning take place as much as possible outside office hours and will exert itself to timely inform Client of the planned shutdown. Saysimple, however, is never liable to pay compensation for damage in connection with such a shutdown.
10.3 Saysimple has the right to adjust its systems from time to time, including the Portal and the Website, or parts thereof, to improve the functionality and to correct errors. If an adjustment leads to a significant change in functionality, Saysimple will exert itself to inform Client accordingly. In case of adjustments which are relevant for multiple Clients, it is not possible to abandon a certain adjustment exclusively for Client. Saysimple is not bound to compensate any type of damage caused by such an adjustment.
10.4 Saysimple will exert itself to inform Client in the event of the unavailability of the Service due to malfunctions, maintenance, or other causes, regarding the nature and the expected duration of the interruption.
10.5 Saysimple will exert itself to keep updated the software used by it. Saysimple is thereby dependent, however, on its supplier(s). Saysimple has the right not to install certain updates or patches if this, in its opinion, does not promote the correct provision of the Service(s).
10.6 Any compensation clause stipulated in an SLA, on grounds of which Client can claim compensation if Saysimple does not perform as established, is an exclusive remedy available to Client and is considered a penalty clause as described in volume 6 of the Netherlands Civil Code (BW) (title 1, section 9, paragraph 4).
10.7 Malfunctions can be reported by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address which is stated on the website of Saysimple. Malfunctions can also be reported through the general phone number as published on the website of Saysimple.
11.1 The encryption of the Messages traffic depends on the application and/or channel used or the method of forwarding. Saysimple therefore is not responsible or liable for unauthorised cognisance of Message.

12.2 Client guarantees (i) that he is fully compliant with all applicable legal obligations, including though not limited to the obligations to the data protection directive GDPR, with regard to Personal Data. Client guarantees towards Saysimple that these data are not illegitimate and do not infringe on third-party rights, (ii) that he has the right to furnish the Personal Data to Saysimple, and (iii) that he has the right to deploy Saysimple as Processor of the relevant Personal Data and to grant Saysimple the right to deploy (sub-)processors itself.
12.3 Client indemnifies Saysimple completely against all third-party claims which result in any way from and/or are related to the processing of Personal Data by Saysimple and/or which are the consequence of the violation of aforementioned guarantees by Client.
13.1 Parties will handle information which they provide each other with before, during, or after the implementation of the Agreement, with confidentiality in case this information is marked as confidential or if the receiving Party knows or should reasonably suspect that the information was intended as confidential. Parties also impose this obligation on their employees as well as on the third parties deployed by them for the implementation of the Agreement.
13.2 This obligation to strict non-disclosure is effective for the duration of the Agreement and for two years after termination of the Agreement.
13.3 Saysimple has the right to demonstrate to third parties that it provides Services to Client so as to promote their Services.

The total, cumulative liability of Saysimple with regard to direct damage is limited per calendar year to a maximum of the amount which the insurer of Saysimple disburses in the matter, and if the insurer of Saysimple does not pay out or only to a limited extent, the liability per calendar year is limited to a maximum of 50% of the fees paid for the Service in that calendar year by Client to Saysimple.
14.2 Direct damage is exclusively to be understood the following only:
a. material damage;

c. expenses reasonably incurred by Client to determine the cause and extent of the damage, to the degree that this determination is related to direct damage in the sense of these General Conditions;
d. expenses reasonably incurred to prevent or limit damage, to the extent Client can prove that these expenses have led to the limitation of the direct damage in the sense of these General Conditions.
14.3 Any liability of Saysimple for damages other than for direct damage, including though not limited to indirect damage, consequential damage, loss, mix-up, or damaging of data, Messages and/or Content or other electronic data (including Personal Data) or software and/or damage due to delays in the transport of data traffic, loss of profit, loss of turnover, missed savings, decreased goodwill, damage caused by operational stagnation and damage resulting from third-party claims, is excluded.
