Use of the Database and Data and compliance with governmental regulations shall be at the Client’s risk.

7.7 In any event, the Client shall ensure that its authorised Users are correctly informed of these rules of conduct and comply with the provisions of this Article.

ARTIKEL 8. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEDIPIM

8.1 Medipim shall endeavour to guarantee optimal availability and accessibility of the Database and Services for the Client, subject to the provisions of this article.

8.2 In principle, the availability of Medipim’s servers and data paths up to the Internet backbone shall be at least 99% on average per calendar year. If the Database and Data are unavailable to the Client, Medipim shall endeavour to solve the problem as soon as possible. Medipim shall correct any defects in the Database and Data to the best of its ability if the Database and Data do not meet any specifications set out in writing, and the Client has reported any such defects to Medipim.

8.3 Medipim will also carry out regular maintenance work on its systems to ensure the safety of network traffic and to guarantee network integrity, interoperability of services, and data security. It may, therefore, temporarily suspend or restrict its services, taking into account the Client’s interests, insofar as this is justified by objective reasons. To the extent possible, Medipim shall perform such maintenance works at times of low internet traffic. Medipim shall inform the Client in advance of any temporary interruptions or limitations of services that may be necessary for a longer period, in so far as this is objectively possible under the given circumstances, and the notification does not delay the removal of the interruptions that have already occurred. In such instances, the Client shall not be entitled to any compensation from Medipim.

8.4 Medipim may freely decide which technical infrastructure to use. It may replace the infrastructure, backbone, third-party/supplier services, and hardware and software used at any time. The use of particular infrastructure, backbones, third-party/supplier services, or specific hardware and software shall only be considered part of the Contract if it is expressly mentioned in the description of the services.

8.5 Medipim shall be free to decide whether and when to release new versions of the Database or implement adjustments and/or changes in its functionality. The user rights made available to the Client and its Users shall always include the most recent version and functionalities of the Database. Medipim shall always implement substantial changes with observance of a reasonable notice period. If the Client makes no objection to the change within a reasonable period stipulated by Medipim, it shall take effect immediately.

8.6 Medipim shall at all times and at its own discretion be entitled to deny the Client and its Users the use of the Database in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently, to block the relevant internet pages, to block the mailboxes on the mail server, and/or to deny access to the Services in whole or in part, if: (i) the Client has failed to make correct and timely payment of the Price after multiple reminders; or (ii) the Client and its Users have failed to comply with the terms of the Contract, the relevant
Subscription, and the rules of conduct set out in Article 7.

8.7 If it is considered plausible that third-party rights are being violated by the Client’s use of the Database and Services, or if it is considered probable on the basis of objective indications that there has been a breach of legal regulations or the content of internet presentations, Medipim may deny access for as long as the infringement of the law or a conflict between the Client and a third party concerning the infringement of the law continues. If the suspected infringement of the law is being
caused by a domain, Medipim may also take measures to make the domain inaccessible. In cases where the infringement of the law caused by a domain is established on an objective basis, Medipim may dissolve the Contract without notice.

8.8 Medipim reserves the right to collect, process, and store anonymous statistical data about the operation and use of the Database and Data by the Client and its Users.

ARTIKEL 9. LICENCE FEES AND PRICES

9.1 The licence fee and other prices or rates (hereinafter jointly referred to as the “Price”) shall be the Price communicated and/or published in the quotation or other offer by Medipim and only cover the Subscriptions and Services expressly mentioned in the quotation or offer.

9.2 The Price specified and/or published by Medipim in the quotation or another offer shall always be in Euros (€) and exclusive of VAT and other additional taxes and/or costs, unless stated otherwise.

9.3 Any rates and discounts offered to the Client shall not necessarily apply to future orders or renewals.

9.4 Medipim reserves the right to adjust the Prices on the Contract’s annual anniversary. Whenever the rates for third-party services change, Medipim shall also be entitled to adjust the prices payable by the Client accordingly. Medipim shall always inform the Client in writing before any price adjustments come into effect.

ARTIKEL 10.INVOICING AND PAYMENT

10.1 The Price shall be invoiced before commencement of the term and for an entire year. In this regard, Medipim shall at all times be entitled to demand full or partial payment in advance and/or to obtain security for payment in some other way.

10.2 Medipim shall invoice the Client for the Price payable (i) on entry into force of the Contract and (ii) prior to each applicable renewal unless the Client pays Medipim immediately by bank transfer or another acceptable payment method upon placement of the order.

10.3 Medipim shall state the invoice number, the Subscription Price, and the applicable VAT rate on every invoice issued to the Client. Unless stated otherwise on the invoice, the invoice shall be payable into Medipim’s account no later than thirty calendar days from the date stated on the invoice.

10.4 In the event of late payment by the Client, (i) default interest shall be payable ipso jure and without notice of default in accordance with Article 5(1) of the Act of 2 August 2002, calculated on the principal sum of the invoice and starting from the due date; (ii) Medipim shall also be entitled to reimbursement of any collection costs in accordance with Article 6 of the Act of 2 August 2002. The extrajudicial collection costs will be 15% of the principal sum of the invoice. The legal collection costs will
be equal to the actual costs incurred by Medipim; and (iii) the amount payable will also be increased ipso jure and, therefore, without the need for prior notice of default, by a flat-rate compensation of 10% of the principal sum, subject to a minimum charge of 50 Euros.

10.5 If Medipim does not receive timely and/or full payment of the Price, Medipim shall be entitled to deny the Client the use of the Service, block the internet pages used for the Service, and deny access to the Service.

10.6 If Medipim blocks a Service on the grounds of the applicable terms and conditions, it shall be entitled to make the unblocking conditional upon the Client paying the relevant costs in accordance with the regulation in force at Medipim at the time of the unblocking.

ARTIKEL 11.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

11.1 The Client accepts that Medipim has made substantial investments in obtaining the information in the Database, and that this Database therefore constitutes a database in the sense of Article I.13, 6° of the Code of Economic Law and Title 7 of Book XI of the Code of Economic Law. The Client agrees to respect Medipim’s rights as the producer of the Database and to strictly observe all the obligations arising for the Client from these General Terms and Conditions and the abovementioned legislation.

11.2 The Client acknowledges that the Intellectual Property Rights in respect of the Database belong exclusively to Medipim and its licensors and that the Client shall refrain from any form of infringement of these rights. No part of this Contract is intended to transfer such rights to the Client, in whole or in part.

11.3 Medipim guarantees to the Client and its Users that the Database and its use authorised to the Client and its Users does not infringe any Intellectual Property Rights or similar third-party rights, and that Medipim is fully authorised to grant the rights referred to in this Contract. Medipim shall protect the Client and its Users from the consequences of any alleged infringement of such third-party rights in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11, provided that the Client reports any alleged
infringements to Medipim immediately and, at Medipim’s request, entrusts the defence of such allegation entirely to Medipim and provides it with all necessary cooperation and information.

11.4 If an infringement or alleged infringement occurs or if, in Medipim’s opinion, there is a justified possibility that such infringement may occur, Medipim shall consult with the third party or third parties involved to determine whether Medipim should at its own expense: (i) acquire the rights of the relevant third party or third parties for the Client’s continued use of the Database; or (ii) adapt the Database, while retaining substantially similar functionality in such a way that it will no longer constitute an infringement. If Medipim considers that the above will not be possible under reasonable conditions, the Client shall agree to cease its use of the Database at Medipim’s written request.

11.5 This obligation to indemnify shall expire if the Client and its Users use or have used the Database in a manner inconsistent with the intended use of the Database and/or contrary to the Contract, the relevant Subscription, or Medipim’s specific instructions.

ARTIKEL 12. DATABASE COMPOSITION AND GUARANTEES

12.1 Medipim guarantees the reliability of its service in accordance with what the Client may reasonably expect on the basis of the Contract. However, in the event of defects in Medipim’s service as a result of programming and/or design errors, Medipim shall remedy such defects or have them remedied or apply a reasonable price reduction at Medipim’s sole discretion.

12.2 Any defects in the security of information stored by the Client on Medipim’s systems, defects caused by the Client’s own actions or those of other Clients or Users, resulting from changes in dial-in numbers, login procedures, account and/or e-mail address, or other changes, do not fall under the warranty and shall be for the Client’s account and risk.

12.3 Medipim will take due care in compiling and maintaining the Database and the Data and Information derived from it. For this purpose, Medipim will as much as possible use sources considered to be reliable. Since Medipim mainly relies on third-party information, including from the manufacturers of medicinal, parapharmaceutical, and cosmetics products, Medipim does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, up-to-dateness, or completeness of the information and data displayed.

12.4 Medipim also does not guarantee the correct operation and availability of the Database or that the Database will always be available or operate without interruptions, errors, viruses, malware, or defects.

12.5 Medipim reserves the right to suspend access to the Database temporarily or permanently, without prior notice, which shall not entitle the Client and its Users to any rights.

12.6 In the event that the Client or its Users observe any shortcomings in the Data and information provided, they should report this to Medipim. Moreover, Medipim shall be at liberty at all times to change the contents and composition of the Database, add data to the Database, or remove data from the Database.

ARTIKEL 13. LIABILITY

13.1 Outside the provisions of Article 12, and to the extent that this is not additionally required by any mandatory statutory provision, Medipim shall make no other guarantees with respect to the Database or any other Services provided by Medipim, including, but not limited to, guarantees of title, marketability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, suitability, potential infringement, absence of latent or other defects and the accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, irrespective of their detectability.

13.2 The Client shall be solely responsible for the application of the Data obtained through the Database and Data, and for any contracts or legal acts entered into or performed by the Client on the basis of the Database and Data.

13.3 Medipim shall not be liable with respect to the Client for any damage which may result directly or indirectly from the use of the Database by the Client and its Users, including any damage attributable to the improper operation of the Database, or its temporary or permanent unavailability, except in the case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of Medipim, its agents, appointees, or employees.

13.4 Furthermore, Medipim shall never be liable for indirect damage, including consequential damage (for example decreased turnover, increased operational costs, or loss of clients), loss of profit, loss of goodwill or data as a result of errors, defects, or shortcomings of the services, installation, maintenance, support, updates, training, compatibility, etc. on the part of the Client or third parties.

13.5 The Client shall indemnify Medipim for any potential third-party claims resulting from the use of the Database and Data by the Client and its Users.

13.6 Insofar as permitted by law, Medipim’s maximum liability arising from or in any way related to the Contract, irrespective of the legal basis, whether arising in tort, contract, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total amount of the Price paid by the Client during the current term (of twelve months) under this Contract.

13.7 Moreover, if the damage is covered by Medipim’s corporate liability insurance, the compensation shall never exceed the amount actually paid by the insurance company in the case in question. The Client expressly undertakes to first call on its own insurance company to pay for the damage suffered before making a claim against Medipim.

13.8 Any claim against Medipim, except if acknowledged by Medipim, shall expire by the mere lapse of twelve (12) months after the claim arose.

ARTIKEL 14. FORCE MAJEURE

14.1 Medipim shall not be obliged to fulfil its obligations in the event of Force Majeure. In such a case, Medipim shall be entitled to either suspend its obligations for the duration of the Force Majeure or terminate the contract, depending on the circumstances. The Client shall not be entitled to any compensation for damages, costs, or interest during the suspension period.

14.2 “Force majeure” means any situation resulting from circumstances beyond a party’s control, and which limits, impedes, or prevents the fulfilment of its obligations in whole or in part, such as technical requirements of the internet that Medipim cannot control, impediments resulting from the Client’s hardware, software, or technical
infrastructure, power failures, strikes, fire, natural disasters, pandemics, work stoppages, power outages, or late delivery or performance by suppliers or any other third parties on which Medipim relies for providing access to the Database and related Services.

ARTIKEL 15.WEBSHOP CONTENT AND ADVICE

15.1 Medipim will maintain its Website and the overview of Subscriptions and Services provided with the utmost care. However, Medipim does not guarantee the accuracy of the information. The User is advised that the information presented shall be subject to change without notice. Medipim shall not be responsible for any material errors on the Website or its incorrect use by the Client.

15.2 Any advice and statements issued by Medipim regarding, for example, the performance, functionalities, colours, and characteristics of the Subscriptions and Services on the Medipim Website and the information and Data made available in the Database are entirely without obligation and are issued by Medipim as non-binding information. Medipim shall not provide any guarantees in this respect. Medipim is also not bound by images, descriptions, advertising material, or offers.

15.3 Medipim shall under no circumstances be held liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage, in any form and for any reason whatsoever, resulting from the information and/or advice issued by Medipim.

ARTIKEL 16. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY

16.1 The Client and its Users shall treat all information and any confidential business data of which they become aware or which they receive from the Database as confidential, and use this information solely for the purposes of the Contract and the relevant Subscription.

16.2 To the extent that the Client and its Users process personal data by means of the Database, they hereby declare that they shall only do so in compliance with all relevant privacy laws and regulations.

16.3 Medipim also attaches considerable importance to the privacy of the Client and its Users and considers it essential that their personal data be treated with the necessary care and confidentiality. Medipim shall always process personal data provided by the Client and its Users in accordance with the applicable privacy regulations and the provisions of its privacy statement.

16.4 More detailed information about how Medipim processes personal data of the Client and its Users and what their rights are, can be found in Medipim’s Privacy Statement published on its website: https://www.medipim.be/.

ARTIKEL 17.DIVISIBILITY

17.1 The invalidity, nullity, or unenforceability of any of the provisions, or parts thereof, of these General Terms and Conditions shall never result in the invalidity, nullity or unenforceability of the General Terms and Conditions as a whole. In such case, the invalid, void, or unenforceable provision shall be replaced ipso jure with a valid and enforceable provision that approximates the intention of the provision affected as closely as possible, and the other provisions of the General Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force.
