11.5. Invoicing Information - The Customer must provide Foleon with all necessary reference information needed to process each invoice, including a valid billing address and any purchase order number. Failure to provide such information does not relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay an invoice when due.

13.3.

17. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMERS
17.1. Performance Warranty - During the Subscription Term, Foleon warrants, for the Customer’s benefit only, that the Service(s) shall perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation (“Performance Warranty”). The Customer must notify Foleon in writing within thirty (30) days of discovery and include a brief reference to the applicable warranty and detailed description of the potential breach. If Foleon receives a valid warranty claim within this period, it will use commercially reasonable efforts in its discretion to repair the affected portion of the Service(s) or re-perform the services (as applicable). If Foleon determines this remedy is not commercially reasonable or fails to remedy the breach within thirty (30) days of receiving the claim, either Party may terminate the applicable Order Form by notice. Upon termination under this Section 17.1, the Customer will receive a refund of any subscription fees it has pre-paid for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. This remedy will be the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy (and Foleon’s sole liability) for any breaches of the Performance Warranty. The Performance Warranty does not cover and Foleon will not be responsible for: (i) errors in or resulting from Customer Data, Third-Party Products or Third-Party Content; (ii) the Customer’s misuse or failure to follow the Documentation; (iii) modifications or services by anyone other than Foleon or its subcontractors; (iv) any version of the Service other than the then most recent release; or (v) any Trials and Betas.
17.2. NO OTHER WARRANTIES - EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE PERFORMANCE WARRANTY, ALL FOLEON TECHNOLOGY AND RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. NEITHER FOLEON NOR ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THAT CUSTOMER DATA IS PRESERVED WITHOUT LOSS OR THAT FOLEON TECHNOLOGY WILL BE TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. THESE DISCLAIMERS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, ANY STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW WILL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD AND MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
18. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
18.1. Excluded Damages - Neither Party nor its suppliers is liable for any indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of data, business interruption, lost profits, or reputational harm, even if informed in advance of the possibility of these damages.
18.2. Liability Cap - Foleon’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, is limited to the amount paid out under Foleon’s insurance in respect of the relevant claim, plus any applicable deductible.

The Customer’s aggregate liability is limited to the same amount. These limitations do not apply to the Customer’s payment obligations, to either Party’s obligations under Section 16, or to liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. Any claim against Foleon must be brought within twelve (12) months after the Customer became aware, or should reasonably have become aware, of the event giving rise to it.

20.6. Force Majeure - Neither Party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if the delay or failure is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or reduction of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, pandemics, government acts, or cyberattacks that could not have been prevented by reasonable security measures. The affected Party must promptly notify the other Party and use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects.

If Foleon does not specify an effective date, the modification takes effect thirty (30) days after it is posted. Modifications required by applicable law may take effect sooner. Foleon may update the Documentation at any time. If Foleon launches new products or optional features that require acceptance of new terms, those terms apply upon the Customer’s acceptance or use.
20.9. No Waiver - Failure or delay in enforcing any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver.
20.10. Severability - If any provision of this Agreement is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects its intent, to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement otherwise remains in effect.

Any terms provided by the Customer (including as part of any purchase order or other business form used by the Customer) are for administrative purposes only and have no legal effect. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, including by electronic copy, each of which will be deemed an original, and all counterparts together constituting one and the same Agreement.
20.13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution - This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Netherlands without regard to any conflict of law provisions. All disputes will primarily be resolved by negotiation between the Parties. If such negotiations fail, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be litigated exclusively by the competent court(s) of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. If the Customer is not located in the European Union, Foleon may, at its own discretion, deviate from the above and may demand, and Customer hereby irrevocably agrees in advance, that the dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the Nederlands Arbitrage Instituut (NAI) in accordance with the NAI Arbitration Rules then in force, irrespective of the place where this Agreement is performed. The seat of arbitration shall be Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1). The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitral proceedings and award shall be confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may apply to the competent court in Amsterdam for urgent interim relief (kort geding) without this constituting a waiver of the right to arbitration.

The indemnifying Party must not settle any claim without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent if the settlement would require the indemnified Party to admit fault, pay amounts that the indemnifying Party must pay under this Section 16 (Indemnification), or take or refrain from taking any action (other than with respect to the Service(s) or features). The indemnified Party may participate in a claim through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense.
17. WARRANTY; DISCLAIMERS
17.1. Performance Warranty - During the Subscription Term, Foleon warrants, for the Customer’s benefit only, that: (i) the Service(s) shall perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation (“Performance Warranty”).

If Foleon receives a valid warranty claim within this period, it will use commercially reasonable efforts in its discretion to repair the affected portion of the Service(s) or re-perform the services (as applicable). If Foleon determines this remedy is not commercially reasonable, either Party may terminate the applicable Order Form with prompt written notice. Upon termination as a result of a warranty claim under this Section 17 (Warranty; Disclaimers), the Customer will receive a refund of any subscription fees it has pre-paid for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. The remedy in this Section 17 (Warranty; Disclaimers) will be the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy (and Foleon’s sole liability) for any breaches of the Performance Warranty. Notwithstanding the above, the Performance Warranty does not cover and Foleon will not be responsible for: (i) errors in or resulting from Third-Party Products or Third-Party Content; (ii) the Customer’s misuse or failure to follow the Documentation; (iii) modifications or services by anyone other than Foleon or its subcontractors; (iv) any version of the Service other than the then most recent release; or (v) any Trials and Betas.

Every claim against Foleon becomes time barred 12 months after the Customer was aware or should have been aware of the harmful event.

If applicable law restricts liability limits, they apply to the maximum extent permitted.
