16. Applicable law, information requirement, and competent court
    16.1 Dutch law applies to these Conditions, as well as all agreements.
    16.2 Third parties do not become a party to any agreement between Seller and Customer based on any third-party clause in these Conditions or the Agreement. Article 6:254, paragraph 1 of the Dutch Civil Code does therefore not apply.
    16.3 If these Conditions apply in an international relationship with Customer, Customer shall always immediately inform Seller about all provisions in these Conditions that are not enforceable in Customer's country. Providing prior agreement from Seller, Seller shall then bear the reasonable costs of any research necessary for this.

    16.5 Parties will first attempt meditation in order to solve the dispute together, before presenting the dispute to the competent court.
17. Publications
    17.1 Although Seller strives to take the most meticulous care in the preparation of all technical, product, and sales information and all other documents in written and digital form, there is always a possibility that certain information may become outdated or is no longer correct. Seller is therefore not liable for the results of activities that are carried out based on these possibly outdated documents or websites.
    17.2 All shown images and product descriptions are informative and under reservations. No deviations in the delivered products of Seller to Customer constitute non-conformity, and Seller can never be held liable for such deviations.
    17.3 Seller is not liable for any damage whatsoever suffered by Customer or (any) other party, which may be caused by the visit to Seller's web page, or caused by possibly damaged files in whatever form, such as viruses, which may be present in email messages and other digital files of Seller without their knowledge.
    17.4 All quotes provided by Seller are valid for a period of up to 30 days, unless indicated otherwise. Seller cannot be held to their quote if Customer could reasonably have understood that the quote or a part thereof contains an apparent mistake or error.
18. Conversion
    18.1 If and insofar as no claim can be made on the grounds of reasonableness and fairness or the unreasonable encumbering nature of any provision in these General Terms and Conditions, that provision gains a similar meaning in terms of content and purport so it can be appealed to.
19. Partial nullity
    19.1 If any provision in these General Terms and Conditions is not applicable or contrary to public policy or law, only the provision concerned will be considered unwritten, but the general terms and conditions will remain effective.
