Liability

All assignments shall be considered issued to and accepted by the Firm, even if there is the express or tacit intention that an assignment be carried out by a specific attorney. The effect of Book 7, Section 404 of the Dutch Civil Code, which provides a regulation for the last-mentioned case, and the effect of Book 7, Section 407 paragraph 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, which attaches a joint and separate liability for those cases in which an assignment is given to two or more persons, are expressly excluded.
Insofar as the liability is not covered by the Firm’s professional indemnity insurance, the liability of the Firm is limited to the amount of the invoice for activities undertaken.
The Firm shall always take the necessary care when involving third parties that do not belong to the organisation and shall (with the exception of bailiff assistance) wherever possible consult the client before retaining such third parties. Any liability for the Firm for any shortcomings by these third parties is expressly excluded, such in deviaton of Book 6, Section 76 of the Dutch Civil Code.
The Firm is in no way responsible for consequential damage and loss of profits, or any indirect damage that may arise from whatever cause. The client should take out insurance cover against such damage if appropriate.
