Article 5 Execution of the Agreement

1. I’m Studio will strive to provide the Services to the best of its insight and ability and in accordance with the requirements of sound craftsmanship, as well as in accordance with the agreements set out in writing, to the greatest extent possible.

2. I’m Studio only has a best-efforts obligation, not an obligation to achieve certain results, in relation to the provision of the Services. A best-efforts obligation is a contractual obligation to make the necessary efforts or to make certain resources available to achieve the stipulated result, which means that I’m Studio cannot guarantee that the outcomes, results, or expectations of the Customer with respect to the provision of the Services will actually be achieved.

3. I’m Studio has the right to deny Customers or guests who fail to observe the house rules or cause nuisance access to the building.

5. I’m Studio has the right to outsource certain activities to third parties.

When engaging third parties, I’m Studio will always observe the necessary level of care and discuss the selection of these third parties with the Customer, insofar as this is reasonably possible and common in the relationship with the Customer. The costs of engaging these third parties will be borne by the Customer and will be charged to the Customer by I’m Studio.

7. The Agreement can only be executed by I’m Studio if the Customer provides complete and correct (contact) details to I’m Studio when concluding the Agreement. For this reason, the Customer will ensure that all data indicated by I’m Studio as necessary for the execution of the Agreement, or of which the Customer should reasonably understand the necessity, are made available to I’m Studio in a timely fashion.

8. The Customer will ensure that I’m Studio can provide its Services in a proper and timely fashion. If the Customer fails to comply with its agreements in this respect, it will be required to provide compensation for all resulting damage.

9. If a period was specified or agreed on for the completion of Services, this can never be considered a deadline. When a period is exceeded, the Customer needs to issue a written notice of default to I’m Studio. I’m Studio needs to be offered a reasonable period to execute the Agreement in this notice.

Article 6 Amendments to the Agreement

1. If it becomes clear during the execution of the Agreement that it must be amended or supplemented for its proper execution, I’m Studio and the Customer will promptly and mutually decide to amend or supplement the Agreement.

2. If the Agreement is amended or supplemented, an additional contract will exist. A separate agreement on the remuneration will be concluded in advance with respect to this additional contract. Without an additional quotation, the original conditions will apply, based on which the additional Services will be provided in accordance with the agreed rate.

3. A failure to execute the amended Agreement (immediately) does not result in the default of I’m Studio and does not give the Customer a reason to terminate or dissolve the Agreement.

4. Amendments to the original Agreement concluded between I’m Studio and the Customer will only be valid as of the moment on which these amendments have been accepted by both Parties by means of an amended or supplementing Agreement. This amendment will take place in writing.

Article 7 Suspension, dissolution, and interim termination of the Agreement

1. I’m Studio has the right to suspend the fulfilment of the obligations or to dissolve the Agreement if the Customer fails to (fully) fulfil the obligations arising from the Agreement (in a timely fashion) or if I’m Studio has valid grounds to fear that the Customer will continue to fail to fulfil these obligations, provided that I’m Studio has held the Customer in default by means of a written summons which offers the Customer a reasonable period to fulfil its obligations, and this does not take place within this period.

2. I’m Studio also has the right to dissolve the Agreement subject to the same conditions as set out in paragraph 1 of this Article if circumstances of such a nature occur based on which the fulfilment of the Agreement becomes impossible or if unaltered continuation of the Agreement cannot reasonably be demanded.

3. If the Customer fails to fulfil its obligations arising from the Agreement, this failure justifies dissolution, and the Customer is in default, I’m Studio will have the right to dissolve the Agreement with immediate effect by means of written notice to the Customer, in which respect the Customer is required to offer compensation or indemnification based on its failure.

Article 8 Right of revocation and returning Products

1. The Customer has the right to cancel an Agreement concluded remotely within 14 (fourteen)

days at no cost and without substantiation being required (Right of Revocation).

2. The Article will only apply to an Agreement concluded remotely with a Consumer. This means

that the Professional Customer has no right of revocation.

3. The period of the Right of Revocation of an Agreement concerning the provision of Services starts on the day

on which the Agreement is concluded.

within the reflection period of 14 (fourteen) days. When concluding the Agreement, the

Customer gives I’m Studio permission for this and declares to waive its Right of Revocation.

5. The Customer will retain the Right of Revocation if the provision of the Services takes place

partially within the reflection period of 14 (fourteen) days at the request of the Customer.

However, the Customer will be required to pay for the Services already provided.

6. If the Customer exercises the Right of Revocation within the revocation period referred to in

paragraph 1 of this Article, I’m Studio will fully refund the amount paid by the Customer.

7. I’m Studio is required to provide a cancellation form to the Customer with the Agreement

concluded remotely. The Customer can complete the cancellation form if it wishes to cancel

the order. The Customer can also unambiguously inform I’m Studio in another manner that

it wishes to terminate the remote Agreement.

8. If the Customer completes the cancellation by electronic means or informs I’m Studio that it wishes to

terminate the remote Agreement by other electronic means, I’m Studio will immediately confirm the receipt

of this notice on a durable medium.

8. If the Customer fails to pay an invoice in a timely fashion, the Customer will be in default by operation of law without further notice of default being required.

The interest on the amount due will be calculated from the day on which the Customer is in default until the moment of payment of the full amount owed.

9. If I’m Studio decides to recover a claim arising from a payment default concerning one or more unpaid invoice(s) by judicial means, the Customer will, besides the principal due and the interest mentioned in Article 10.6, also owe compensation for all reasonable judicial and extrajudicial costs. The compensation for judicial and extrajudicial costs will be determined in accordance with the Dutch Decree on Compensation of Extrajudicial Collection Costs in force at that time.
