Article 8 Use of third parties

Article 10 Non-attributable failure

10.1 If Kamera Express Rental is prevented by non-attributable failure to fulfill the agreement in whole or in part, Kamera Express Rental has the right to cancel, dissolve or postpone the agreement until implementation is possible, without Kamera Express Rental being held liable in any way by the client and/or third parties.

Article 11 Complaints

11.1 Complaints concerning the goods delivered, respectively rented and/or services provided by Kamera Express Rental should be made by the customer in writing within 24 hours after delivery. If the customer does not, or not timely complain, Kamera Express Rental can not be blamed for any shortcoming.

11.2 Complaints about invoices from Kamera Express Rental must be made in writing, within fourteen days from the date of the invoice, and motivated by Kamera Express Rental.

11. 3 If a timely and proper complaint is made and it appears that the delivered, made available, rented items and/or services provided by Kamera Express Rental completely do not meet the content of the agreement and there is a serious shortcoming attributable to Kamera Express Rental, subject to what is stated elsewhere in these conditions, Kamera Express Rental will, under return by the client of the delivered, made available, rented items, repair or replace the goods delivered, made available, rented and/or services provided again in whole or in part (unless the deviation is too small to justify repair, replacement or new work to justify or the case is too not or deteriorated as a result of the actions of the client). At Kamera Express Rental's option, the client may instead also be credited for up to the value of the items taken back or of the agreed booking period or the hourly amount of the services performed. The same applies mutatis mutandis in the legal relationship between the client and the third party, when Kamera Express Rental has completely or partially outsourced the delivery, provision or rental of goods or the performance of services to a third party, with the consent and on behalf of the client.

11.4 In case of improper use of the goods by the client, the latter is liable for the costs associated with repair or replacement.

12.1 The client is liable for all damages of any kind, which arise or are caused to his, Kamera Express Rental and/or third party property, caused by himself, his staff or by him or his staff appointed third parties.

12.2 The client is liable to Kamera Express Rental in the same way as for his own behavior for the behavior of those who use these things with his consent. In this respect, the client shall indemnify Kamera Express Rental for all claims (howsoever named) from third parties.

12.3 Kamera Express Rental is in particular not liable for damages resulting from downtime, malfunction, whether or not in the energy network (gas, water, electricity), failure or malfunction of equipment, heating, cooling, elevator installations, for the consequences of visible or invisible defects, or damage caused by the destruction or damage to property, media and its recorded content, by poor connections and line branches, for the quality of unmodulated sheets and in general by providing services, except in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of Kamera Express Rental. Kamera Express Rental is also not liable for any legal liability or otherwise, arising from the use of the goods by the client or third parties, or the preparation of the goods. In case the customer misuses the items and/or parts thereof, from Kamera Express Rental and/or these things are completely lost and / or irreparably damaged and / or otherwise intended/modified/adapted than agreed between parties, the customer shall pay the purchase cost of replacement and the cost of replacement or repair to Kamera Express Rental. Kamera Express Rental is then at all times entitled to take back the delivered, made available, rented items without any notice or judicial intervention. The customer is considered to have given Kamera Express Rental the authority to enter the buildings and grounds.

12.4 When in case of provision or rental the goods are completely destroyed by fire or similar unforeseen circumstances, Kamera Express Rental will try to provide adequate replacement as soon as possible. If Kamera Express Rental can realize this within a reasonable period, the client has no right to cancel the agreement. In case of partial destruction and Kamera Express Rental can not replace in time, the customer is entitled to a pro rata reduction of the agreed price, but not to compensation. The latter also applies if the goods are completely perished. If Kamera Express Rental in both cases can not timely make a replacement, the contract of provision or rental ends.

12.5 Giving advice and performing consultancy work are given to the best of knowledge. Kamera Express Rental accepts no liability for the performance of these activities. This can never relieve the client from the obligation to own research of the goods to be delivered, made available, rented and/or services to be performed for their suitability for the intended purpose. The same applies to information regarding the composition of items, parts thereof and their potential applications.

12.6 In respect of the maximum liability of Kamera Express Rental, the provisions of Article 11.3 of these conditions shall apply accordingly.

12.7 In case the client hires staff or freelancers from Kamera Express Rental to perform services, the client accepts liability for any damage, injury or death during the booked period.

Article 13 Indemnity

13.1 The client shall indemnify Kamera Express Rental (and the Kamera Express Rental employees including their collaborating companies, both permanent and freelance employees) for any liability that third parties may have or exercise against Kamera Express Rental in respect of the delivered, made available, rented items and services provided.

13.2 In so far as the client or a third party has a right to any work delivered to Kamera Express Rental, the client shall indemnify Kamera Express Rental against all claims by third parties, in the broadest sense.

13.3 As far as Kamera Express Rental has any rights on a work and/or as applicable, Kamera Express Rental indemnifies the client against all claims by third parties in connection with alleged infringement of the above rights.

Article 14 Option and Cancellation

14.1 The client is obliged, at least 24 hours before the effectuation of an option taken, to confirm the option dates in writing to Kamera Express Rental, in such a way that Kamera Express Rental is informed 24 hours in advance. If the customer exceeds this deadline, the options granted to the customer expire and Kamera Express Rental is entitled to grant these option dates to a third party.

14.2 Kamera Express Rental reserves the right to let option holders decide within two hours whether or not an option will be converted into a definite booking.

14.3 Cancellation of an agreement by the customer is only possible if done in writing and before the start of the execution of services or delivery of goods.

In respect of the facility multi-camera, if cancellation takes place less than 21 days before the start of execution of services or delivery of goods, the client shall owe a compensation of 75% of the agreed fee. With respect to the facility for post-production, if cancellation takes place less than 5 days before the start of the performance of services or the delivery of goods, the client will owe compensation amounting to 75% of the agreed fee. With regard to ENG/rental, if cancellation takes place less than 18 hours before the start of the execution of services or delivery of goods, the client will owe compensation amounting to 75% of the agreed fee. In respect of all other facilities and services, if cancellation occurs later than agreed between Kamera Express Rental and the client, the client will owe compensation equal to 75% of the agreed fee.

14.4 Kamera Express Rental is obliged - after payment of the costs by the client - to hand over to the client all that has been completed during the period prior to the premature termination, all this in compliance with the other provisions in the general conditions of Kamera Express Rental.

14.5 In case Kamera Express Rental can provide the goods and services from its employees and/or third parties during the reserved period in whole or in part elsewhere on at least equal conditions, Kamera Express Rental will credit the customer for the (partial) payments already made by him. This is subject to deduction of all costs already incurred by Kamera Express Rental up to the relevant cancellation, which costs are at least 10% of the agreed price.

14.6 Kamera Express Rental reserves the right to cancel agreements in whole or in part in writing in case of such changes in circumstances that fulfillment can not reasonably be expected of Kamera Express Rental or that fulfillment would entail risks under criminal law. In such a case, the customer is not entitled to any compensation.

14.7 Exceeding the delivery time does not in general give the customer the right to cancel the agreement. Kamera Express Rental is entitled to still deliver, make available, rent and perform the services within a reasonable subsequent delivery period. If within this additional delivery period again no delivery is made, the customer has the right to cancel. The above applies, if Kamera Express Rental can not rely on non-attributable failure. By way of compensation, the client can recover, as a maximum, the part of the price paid in advance (provided that no work has been done before).

14.8 If during the execution of an agreement the client makes such changes to the agreement that, in the opinion of Kamera Express Rental, the order becomes infeasible and/or not suitable for the agreed purpose with the client, Kamera Express Rental is entitled to terminate the agreement at any stage prematurely, without any compensation whatsoever. This termination is without prejudice to the obligation of the client to pay all costs incurred up to the early termination, and costs caused by the early termination, to Kamera Express Rental.

Article 15 Culpable shortcoming

15.1 When the customer does not, not timely or not properly fulfill any obligation (especially the payment obligation), Kamera Express Rental has the right to dissolve the agreement in whole or in part by means of an extrajudicial statement. Kamera Express Rental also has the right, if desired, to take possession of its goods again, relying on its retention of title. Kamera Express Rental may also exercise its right of retention. The client then has no right to any compensation. This extrajudicial termination shall not affect the right of Kamera Express Rental to claim (replacement) damages, fulfillment or termination in court.

15.2 In this case, the client is obliged to reimburse Kamera Express Rental for all damage caused to Kamera Express Rental and all costs incurred by Kamera Express Rental in connection with this repossession.

Article 16 Payment

16.1 Invoices must be paid no later than 14 days after the invoice date, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. In general, the payment condition is net cash. Kamera Express Rental is entitled to charge advance payments and require further (additional) security. Kamera Express Rental may also request a deposit on the actual provision or rental.

16.2 If one or more of these terms is exceeded, the Clientele will owe the statutory interest - without any notice of default being required - plus 1% on the amount owed for each month, part of a month being taken as a whole, during which the term of payment has been exceeded and/or the Client has been in default of payment of the amount owed. In that case, the amount owed shall also be immediately due and payable without any discount. The deadlines shall be regarded as strict deadlines.

16.3 The mere failure to meet the payment deadlines will result in all judicial and extrajudicial costs being charged to the Client. The extrajudicial costs will in all cases be at least 10% (ten percent) of the outstanding claim, with a minimum amount of € 275.00 and will be payable by the Client without any further summons or notice of default, if the claim has to be transferred to third parties for collection. The amount is in principle based on the collection rate in accordance with the guidelines of the Netherlands Bar Association. If there are higher costs, Kamera Express Rental will specify this in writing.

16.4 Compensation of mutual claims and debts by the client is excluded, given the nature of the mutual performance of parties.

16.5 With regard to payments not yet made by the customer, Kamera Express Rental has the right of retention on the goods of the customer in its care.

16.6 The client is liable for the price, even if the goods cease to exist or decrease in value due to non-attributable failure by Kamera Express Rental.

Article 17 Retention of title

17.1 Kamera Express Rental expressly reserves at all times the ownership of its goods made available or rented to the customer. It also reserves ownership of those items (for which Kamera Express Rental has or has not performed services) which have already been delivered or are still to be delivered to the client, until the client has fulfilled his obligations to Kamera Express Rental in full.

17.2 Kamera Express Rental also reserves the ownership of these delivered and/or to be delivered goods, if the client fails to fulfill his obligations under the agreement to provide services and/or in respect of claims for failure to fulfill such agreement.

17.3 In case of administration, receivership and/or seizure and/or otherwise on matters of Kamera Express Rental, which are in the possession of the client, the client shall make all costs incurred by Kamera Express Rental to recognize and maintain its right of ownership, including the costs of legal assistance on behalf of Kamera Express Rental, to Kamera Express Rental.

Article 19 Confidentiality
