Dutch law applies to these General Terms and Conditions. In the case of consumers who do not conclude their contract for professional or commercial purposes, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state where the consumer has his habitual residence. The provisions of the UN Sales Convention do not apply. If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contract is our place of business. The same applies if the customer does not have general jurisdiction in the Netherlands or if the domicile or usual place of residence of the customer is unknown at the time the claim is made. Should individual provisions of the contract with the customer, including these General Terms and Conditions, be or become invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The wholly or partially invalid provision will be replaced by a provision whose economic success approaches that of the invalid provision as closely as possible.
