6.4 All reasonable costs incurred by Jobbex.IT in connection with the collection of overdue amounts, including legal costs, are payable by the Client.
7.1 The term of an Agreement is as set out therein. Where no term is specified, the Agreement runs for an indefinite period and may be terminated by either party with one month's written notice, unless a longer notice period is agreed for the relevant service model.
7.2 Either party may terminate an Agreement with immediate effect by written notice if:
a) the other party is in material breach of the Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within a reasonable period after being notified in writing;
b) the other party is declared insolvent, enters into bankruptcy, suspension of payments, or liquidation proceedings, or ceases its business operations.

8.1 This Article applies to Turn-key Project engagements where specific deliverables are defined in the Agreement.
8.2 Upon delivery of a deliverable, the Client shall review and either accept or reject it in writing within 10 business days. If no written objection is received within this period, the deliverable shall be deemed accepted.

9.1 Jobbex.IT shall perform the Services with reasonable skill and care, in line with the standards reasonably expected of a professional technology and engineering services partner.
9.2 Save in case of intent or gross negligence, the total liability of Jobbex.IT under or in connection with an Agreement, for any calendar year, is limited to the total fees invoiced to the Client under that Agreement in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or to the amount actually paid out under Jobbex.IT's liability insurance for the relevant claim, whichever is higher.
9.3 Jobbex.IT shall under no circumstances be liable for indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, or loss of business opportunity.

b) where required by law, regulation, or order of a competent authority.
10.2 These confidentiality obligations survive termination of the Agreement for a period of 5 years.

11.3 Nothing in this Article transfers any rights in the Client's pre-existing intellectual property, which remains the Client's property at all times.
12.1 The value Jobbex.IT provides to the Client is built on its ability to attract, develop, and retain skilled technology Professionals. The Client acknowledges that the direct or indirect engagement of a Professional outside of the framework of the Agreement causes significant harm to Jobbex.IT's business.
12.2 During the term of the Agreement and for a period of 24 months following the end of the provision of Services by a given Professional to the Client (whichever is later), the Client shall not, without the prior written consent of Jobbex.IT, directly or indirectly:
a) offer employment to, or enter into any form of contractual relationship with (including as an employee, contractor, consultant, or through any third party or intermediary) any Professional who has been made available to, or has performed work for, the Client by Jobbex.IT; or
b) facilitate, encourage, or assist a third party in engaging such a Professional, where the Client is aware that this is intended to circumvent this Article.
12.3 If the Client breaches Article 12.2, the Client shall, without prejudice to Jobbex.IT's right to claim full compensation for actual damages suffered (including, without limitation, loss of revenue, recruitment and replacement costs, and lost margin), owe Jobbex.IT an immediately due and payable penalty (boete) equal to:
a) for Agreements governed by Dutch law: an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the fees that would have been invoiced to the Client for that Professional at the rate applicable immediately prior to the breach, with a minimum of EUR 50,000 per Professional;
b) for Agreements governed by Portuguese law: an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the fees that would have been invoiced to the Client for that Professional at the rate applicable immediately prior to the breach, with a minimum of EUR 50,000 per Professional, it being understood that this penalty operates without prejudice to Jobbex.IT's right to claim additional compensation for damages exceeding the penalty amount, to the extent permitted under the Código Civil.
12.4 The penalty under this Article is due per Professional and per breach, and is payable in addition to (and not in substitution for) any outstanding fees owed under the Agreement.
12.5 This Article survives termination or expiry of the Agreement.

15.2 If a force majeure event continues for more than three months, either party may terminate the affected Agreement by written notice, without being liable for any compensation to the other party in connection with such termination, without prejudice to amounts already due for Services performed prior to the force majeure event.
