These General Terms and Conditions are an integral part of every Agreement and offer.
London Dynamics explicitly rejects the applicability of any General Terms and Conditions other than these General Terms and Conditions.

All prices and rates are stated in euros excluding VAT and any other levies imposed by the government.

London Dynamics aims to provide its Services as far as possible in accordance with the service levels specified in the SLA and will take all the necessary measures available to it in this respect.

In the event of termination of a Continuous Service London Dynamics will, at the Client’s request, enter into consultations with Client on any transfer activities needing to be carried out by London Dynamics, such as transferring and/or destroying data and Client Applications, as well as the time frame for performing such activities. If the Client does not submit such a request as referred to above within one (1) month of the Continuous Service being terminated, London Dynamics will be entitled to destroy the data, Links and any other data of the Client on the Platform.
All activities carried out by London Dynamics under this clause will be charged on the basis of actual costs at the applicable rates at that time.
Parties will treat in the strictest of confidence all information on each other’s organisation, Platform, Links, data and IT Infrastructure, as well as all other information that the parties knew or should know to be of a confidential nature.

London Dynamics will immediately notify the Client of such requests (and provide a copy of them), unless that is prohibited by any statutory regulations. In all situations London Dynamics will only provide the information or documents requested when required to do so by any statutory regulation, in which case no information or documents will be made available other than those specifically requested.

When the Client has fulfilled all his obligations under the Agreement with London Dynamics, the Client obtains an exclusive license to use the result of the Agreement as far as the use is in accordance with the purpose that was agreed upon. When there are no Agreements about the purpose, then the license to the use of the result of the Agreement will be limited to the established intentions, which existed at the time the Agreement was entered. These intentions must have been made known to London Dynamics before the Agreement was entered.
London Dynamics remains entitled, even after a transfer of rights, to use the result of the Agreement for its own publicity or promotional purposes, respecting the rights of third parties.
The Client is not entitled to use the result of the Agreement in ways beyond the limitations of the Agreement or in ways other than those in the Agreement without prior written permission from London Dynamics.

Each party indemnifies the other against claims by third parties relating to the actual or alleged infringement of third-party intellectual property rights resulting from the use of the Continuous service.
London Dynamics indemnifies the Client only on the condition that the Client notifies London Dynamics of any such claim or action immediately and permits London Dynamics exclusively to conduct the defence against the claim or action. London Dynamics will not indemnify the Client if the breach or alleged breach is attributable to the Client.
An Agreement between London Dynamics and the Client will be entered into for the period stipulated in that Agreement, in the absence of which that Agreement will end no earlier than two (2) years after the calendar day on which the Client is provided with the Continuous Service in working order. After this period the Agreement will automatically and tacitly be extended for an indefinite period until either party gives notice of termination at the end of a calendar quarter and subject to at least three (3) months’ notice.
The Client is not permitted to terminate the Agreement during the initial term, unless parties agree termination arrangements in writing or the Agreement includes such arrangements, in which cases early termination will be possible with effect from the end of a calendar quarter, subject to payment of the sum stipulated in the termination arrangements and a notice period of at least three (3) months. Notwithstanding the above provisions in this sub clause, early termination by London Dynamics is possible, subject to three (3) months’ notice.
If and insofar as termination is possible under the above provisions, such notice will be given by registered letter addressed to the other party and specifying the termination date.
Each of the parties is entitled to give notice that the Agreement is to be dissolved by sending a registered letter, containing the dissolution date, to the other party if the other party fails to fulfill the Agreement in an attributable way and persists in such failure even after being duly gran- ted a reasonable period of time to rectify the failure.
Each of the parties is entitled immediately to dissolve the Agreement by registered letter requesting confirmation of receipt, without any demand or notice of default being required, if the other party files for or is granted suspension of payment, the other party is declared insolvent or bankrupt, the other party’s business is liquidated, discontinued or terminated other than for the purposes of a merger, or if the other party can no longer be considered capable of fulfilling the financial obligations under the Agreement.
If the Client dissolves the Agreement, the Client loses its right to compensation.
Any liability of London Dynamics for an event, whereby a series of events will constitute a single event, will be limited to direct loss and to a maximum of the price stipulated for such Agreement excluding VAT. If the Agreement provides for continuing performance with duration of more than one (1) year, liability will be limited to the total price agreed for one (1) year excluding VAT. The maximum extent to which London Dynamics will be liable will in any event be limited to €50,000 (in words: fifty thousand euros). Direct loss will be taken exclusively to mean:
a. reasonable costs that the Client incurs in order to have the performance of London Dynamics meet the terms of the agreement.
b. reasonable costs that the Client incurs in order to establish the cause and
c. reasonable costs incurred in order to prevent or limit loss.
Liability in respect of indirect and all other forms of loss or damage other than as referred to in sub clause 12.1 is excluded.
London Dynamics will not be held liable for an attributable failure in the performance of the Agreement until it is given proper notice of default by registered letter that contains notice of default and grants a reasonable period of time for London Dynamics to fulfil its obligations under the Agreement and London Dynamics fails to fulfil its obligations within such period.
London Dynamics is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from directions or instructions or the following of directions or instructions given by the Autoriteit Consument en Markt (ACM) [Authority for Consumers and Market] or by any other authorities with statutory powers to give London Dynamics directions or instructions.
A right to compensation will arise only if London Dynamics is given proper, specific and detailed notification in writing of the damage or loss suffered as soon as possible after it becomes known and in any event within six (6) weeks of its being established.
London Dynamics cannot be held liable for damages of any kind that are the direct or indirect result of providing incorrect and/or incomplete information. The Client indemnifies London Dynamics against third party claims regarding infringement on their rights (including intellectual property rights) as a result of the use of the Services by the Client.
Neither party is obliged to fulfil any obligation under an Agreement if hampered from doing so by force majeure. Force majeure on the part of London Dynamics includes non-attributable failure in the performance of obligations by a supplier of London Dynamics, floods, fire, overheating, dust, terrorist attacks, pandemics and/or acts of war.
If the condition of force majeure persists for more than hundred eighty (180) days, the parties will have the right to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect by means of a registered letter notifying the termination, without any obligation on either party to pay the other party compensation. Any activities already performed under the Agreement will be settled by the parties pro rata.

The Client is aware that, in its capacity as Controller within the meaning of the GDPR, it is obliged to inform London Dynamics of the measures to be taken in order to meet the requirements of the GDPR.
In the relationship between London Dynamics and the Client, the responsibility of London Dynamics with regard to the personal data registered and processed by the Client by means of London Dynamics Services and/or infrastructure will never exceed that of a Processor within the meaning of the GDPR. By virtue of its obligations in its capacity as Controller within the meaning of the GDPR the Client will enter into consultation with London Dynamics before implementing any security plan if and insofar as the contents of such security plan may affect the business operations of London Dynamics.
In accordance with the GDPR and other applicable legislation and regulations pertaining to the protection of privacy the parties will, if and insofar as applicable, guarantee a reasonable level of security for activities that include processing personal data as defined in the GDPR. Whether the level of security is deemed reasonable will depend on all the circumstances, including the nature of the data, the current state of technology and the costs involved in guaranteeing a certain level of security.
Each party confirms that it indemnifies the other against all claims by third parties relating to a party’s failure to comply with the Client’s obligations under the GDPR and other applicable legislation and regulations pertaining to the protection of personal data.
London Dynamics is entitled to the use of third parties in performance of an Agreement. The use of third parties will not affect (the limitations with respect to) the liability of London Dynamics as stipulated in Clause 12 (Liability).

The provisions of subclause 17.4 will not affect the parties’ obligation, wherever possible, to make every effort to resolve disputes relating to the performance of the agreement by mutual agreement.
Unless agreed otherwise, London Dynamics will be entitled at its option, whether including a logo or otherwise, to list the Client as a reference on its website.
If one of the provisions of these present General Terms and Conditions is invalid or nullified, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and the parties will enter into consultation with each other on a new provision that retains as much as possible of the nature and purport of the invalid or nullified provision.

The Client will be in default, without any further notice of default being required, if the Client does not immediately comply with the instruction referred to in subclause 19.2.
