6.2 If the Client has not paid an invoice within the period specified in Article 6.1, the Client shall be in default by operation of law (Article 6:83 sub a of the Dutch Civil Code). The Client shall then owe the statutory commercial interest (6:119a Dutch Civil Code) on the invoiced amount, as well as in that case the Client shall also owe judicial and extrajudicial collection costs, the latter to be fixed at 15% of the overdue amounts with a minimum of € 500.
6.3 Client shall not be entitled to set off any amount owed by it to Taggrs against any claims against Taggrs. Objections to the amount of an invoice do not suspend the Client’s payment obligation.

7. Availability and adaptation

7.1 Taggrs shall make every effort to ensure that the agreed Service always functions properly and strives to ensure the highest possible availability, quality and security of the Service. However, Taggrs makes no warranty that the Service will operate without error, failure or interruption. Taggrs has only an obligation of effort and not an obligation of result. Taggrs strives to correct any errors, failures or interruptions as soon as possible. Failure to do so shall in no event constitute a breach of the Agreement on the part of Taggrs nor be a basis for Client to terminate or otherwise impair the Agreement. Under no circumstances shall TAGGRS be liable for damages or consequential damages.
7.2 Taggrs reserves the right – without prior notice to Client – to make interim changes to the technical and functional features of the Service to improve functionality and to correct any errors or to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
7.3 Client shall promptly notify Taggrs in writing of any errors in the Service. In this context, “errors” shall mean substantial failure to meet the functional or technical specifications made known in writing by Taggrs. An error only exists if the Customer can prove it, is reproducible and prevents normal use of the Service. Taggrs makes every effort to detect and correct any errors in the Service. However, Taggrs cannot guarantee that all errors will be corrected and is in no way liable for (consequential) damages.
7.4 If a modification referred to in Clauses 7.2 and 7.3 results in a material deviation in the functionality of the Service, Taggrs shall notify Client in writing or electronically before the modification becomes available.
7.5 Taggrs reserves the right to temporarily take the Service out of service for, among other things, maintenance, modification or improvement of Taggrs’ computer systems. Taggrs shall, to the extent possible, arrange for such out-of-hours service to take place outside of business hours and shall give Customer timely advance notice of the planned out-of-hours service. Such announced decommissioning of the Service shall in no case be considered as a failure by Taggrs to fulfill its obligations to the Client and Taggrs shall therefore not be liable for (consequential) damages.
7.6 Taggrs does not warrant the proper functioning of the Service if hardware and software (including, inter alia, operating system and infrastructure and associated settings) recommended or not recommended by Taggrs for the purposes of the Service are not used.

9.5 Client may request Taggrs to block the Access Resources. Taggrs is also entitled to block Access Resources on its own motion at any time, if Taggrs is aware of possible unauthorized use of the Access Resources.
