Article 8. Video recordings

8.1. ByTomorrow is not responsible for the accuracy, validity and/or lawfulness of the video recordings. ByTomorrow is in no way obliged to (i) check such video recordings and (ii) verify the lawfulness of access to these video recordings by User(s) and/or Viewers, or to check whether they have obtained permission from the Customer to do so.

Furthermore, the Customer can view and manage the Customer Data processed and stored on the Platform through this access domain.

9.2. Through the general access domain, the Customer can upload Recordings to be streamed via the Platform and delete Recordings already streamed via the Platform. The Customer therefore determines which Recordings are offered to the Viewers via the Platform.

9.3.

After termination of the Agreement - in any way whatsoever - the Recordings and the Customer Data will remain available on the Platform for a period of one (1) month. After the aforementioned period of one (1) month has expired, the Recordings will no longer be streamed via the Platform and the Customer Data processed and stored on the Platform will be deleted.

ByTomorrow explicitly does not guarantee that the Recordings and/or Customer Data can always be downloaded in a desired or readable file format.

ByTomorrow facilitates the uploading of the Recordings to the servers of its supplier(s) (the OTT provider) via the Platform, after which the Recordings are retrieved and (live) streamed via the Platform by ByTomorrow through a link and/or video signal. Therefore, the Recordings remain on the servers of ByTomorrow's supplier(s) (the OTT provider). ByTomorrow only provides the streaming infrastructure through its Platform to give Viewers access to the Recordings. ByTomorrow is therefore never liable for any damage suffered by the Customer and/or third parties as a result of the deletion, unavailability, or inability to stream the Recordings via the Platform. The Customer indemnifies ByTomorrow against any damage and/or claims by the Customer and/or third parties resulting from the deletion, unavailability, or inability to stream the Recordings via the Platform.

  • The proper and adequate operation of the services of its supplier(s), such as - but not limited to - the video platform of the OTT provider and/or the hosting services of its hosting supplier.

ByTomorrow therefore does not guarantee that the Image Recordings streamed via the Platform will at all times meet the quality and/or usability standards reasonably expected by Customer and/or Viewers. Customer indemnifies ByTomorrow for all damages and claims of Customer and/or third parties - including Viewers - in this regard.

14.3. ByTomorrow does not guarantee that the Service, the Recorded Images, and/or the Customer's Data will not be subject to misuse by third parties, which may include but is not limited to the installation of viruses and/or behavior that may be considered contrary to good morals and decency, or that third parties will not infringe on (intellectual property) rights or act in a defamatory or unlawful manner through the use of or via the Service. ByTomorrow is never liable for any damage or claims by the Customer and/or third parties arising therefrom.

14.4. ByTomorrow will make efforts to (have) defects in the Service (be) repaired within the agreed upon period (and otherwise within a reasonable period) as far as the Customer has detailed the defects in writing to ByTomorrow. ByTomorrow is never obliged to repair data, Recorded Images, and/or Customer Data - whether or not originating from the Customer and/or Users - that have been mutilated or lost in or through the use of the Service.

14.5. To remedy defects in the Service, ByTomorrow is entitled to implement temporary solutions, program detours, or problem-avoiding limitations in the Service.

14.6. If, in ByTomorrow's opinion, the repair of attributable defects and/or inaccuracies/incompleteness in or to the Service, the Recorded Images, the Customer's Data, and information provided through the Service is technically or reasonably impossible, ByTomorrow will credit the amount still owed by the Customer for the respective service provision, without any further or other liability towards the Customer. The Customer has no other rights with regard to defects in the Service and/or inaccuracies/incompleteness in the Recorded Images and/or Customer Data, other than those described in this warranty arrangement.

Article 15. Fees and Payment

15.1. Klant (Customer) shall pay the fee as agreed upon by the Parties for the Service provided by ByTomorrow.

15.2. If the Parties have agreed that Klant shall pay a fixed periodic license fee, ByTomorrow shall invoice Klant for such fee monthly in arrears. Klant shall pay the invoices of ByTomorrow in accordance with the payment terms specified on the invoice. Unless otherwise indicated, Klant shall ensure payment within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice.

15.3. If the Parties have agreed that Klant shall pay a fee based on usage (on-demand minutes watched, live stream minutes, and live minutes watched), ByTomorrow shall invoice Klant for such fee monthly in arrears and automatically deduct the payment. Klant may request the invoices directly from the relevant Payment Service Provider in this case.

15.4. Unless otherwise indicated, all rates quoted by ByTomorrow are in euros and exclusive of value-added tax (VAT) and other government levies.

15.5. ByTomorrow is entitled to annually adjust the rates and/or commission percentages applied, effective as of January 1st. ByTomorrow shall notify Klant of any such adjustments at least two (2) months in advance. To the extent that Klant does not agree with such adjustment, Klant may terminate the Agreement (intermediately) within one month after receipt of the written notice from ByTomorrow, against the date on which the increased fee or commission percentage becomes effective. In such event, ByTomorrow shall not be obliged to make any restitution of amounts received or to compensate any damages, whether or not suffered.

15.6. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause, ByTomorrow is entitled to pass on any increases in rates of its suppliers and/or partners (including OTT providers), effective as of the date on which such a rate increase takes effect, in the fee payable by Klant to ByTomorrow.

15.7. In the event of non-payment on the due date, Klant shall be in default without the need for further notice of default. In such case, Klant shall owe statutory commercial interest as per article 6:119a Dutch Civil Code, as well as collection costs, including legal fees in and/or out of court, from the date of default until the date of full payment, without prejudice to the (other) rights of ByTomorrow. ByTomorrow is entitled to suspend its obligations under the Agreement as long as Klant is in default. Suspension by ByTomorrow of its obligations under the Agreement does not release Klant from its payment obligations under the Agreement.

15.8. In the event of disputes regarding payments, the relevant data from the administration of ByTomorrow shall constitute full evidence, without prejudice to Klant's right to present counter-evidence.

15.9. Klant shall not be entitled to set-off or suspend payment and/or the performance of obligations arising from the Agreement.

15.10. Complaints regarding invoices and/or the Service(s) of ByTomorrow shall not suspend the payment obligations of Klant.

Article 16. Duration and termination

16.1. The Agreement is concluded at the moment of (online) acceptance of these Terms and Conditions by the Customer.

16.2. When entering into the Agreement, the Parties shall agree whether the Agreement is entered into for:

  • a fixed term of one (1) year, or;
  • an indefinite term.

16.3. If the Parties have agreed on an Agreement for a fixed term, the Agreement will be automatically renewed after the term referred to in the previous article has expired, for a further period of one (1) year each time, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.

16.4. The Agreement can only be terminated in the cases as referred to in the following paragraphs of this article, without prejudice to the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions.

16.5. The Parties are entitled to terminate the Agreement by observing a notice period of one (1) month. Unless expressly stated otherwise in these Terms and Conditions, the Customer cannot terminate the Agreement entered into for a fixed term prematurely. ByTomorrow may terminate the Agreement prematurely.

16.6. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, ByTomorrow is entitled to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect if: 1) the Customer owes ByTomorrow a fee based on usage (watched on demand minutes, livestream minutes, and watched live minutes), and 2) the Customer has not generated any income from the Platform for 60 consecutive days and ByTomorrow thus does not generate any income (anti-freezer clause). ByTomorrow shall never be liable for any compensation or damages in the event of termination as referred to in this article.

16.7. The Customer must notify ByTomorrow of any termination (for whatever reason) by registered mail.

16.8. The Customer is only entitled to dissolve the Agreement due to a substantial breach in the performance of the Agreement if ByTomorrow, in all cases after a detailed written notice of default with a reasonable period for rectification of the breach, continues to substantially fail in the performance of its essential obligations under the Agreement.

16.9. ByTomorrow is at all times entitled to terminate the Agreement without any further notice of default or judicial intervention if the Customer fails to fulfill its payment obligations under the Agreement. ByTomorrow is also entitled to dissolve the Agreement due to any other breach in the performance of the Agreement if the Customer, in all cases after a detailed written notice of default with a reasonable period for rectification of the breach, continues to fail to perform its other obligations under the Agreement.

16.10. If at the time of termination, the Client has already received performance in execution of the Agreement, these performances and the related payment obligation will not be subject to cancellation, unless the Client proves that ByTomorrow has defaulted on the essential part of those performances. Amounts invoiced by ByTomorrow for what it has already properly performed or delivered under the Agreement prior to termination remain owed, with due observance of the provisions in the preceding sentence, and become immediately due and payable at the time of termination. Payments already made by the Client at the time of termination will in any case not be subject to cancellation. The provisions in the preceding sentence do not apply to prepaid amounts for services yet to be provided in the future.

16.11. Each of the Parties may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, without notice of default, immediately by written notice, if the other Party has been granted – provisional or otherwise – a suspension of payments, is declared bankrupt, liquidates or terminates its business other than for purposes of a merger or consolidation of businesses, or if the decisive control over Client's business changes. ByTomorrow shall never be held liable for any restitution of funds already received or compensation for any damages, whether direct or indirect, as a result of such termination.

16.12. In all cases of termination of the Agreement, for whatever reason, the Service will no longer be made available to Client, Users and Viewers as of the termination date, and Client shall refrain from any use of the Service – in any way whatsoever. Client shall also ensure that Users refrain from any use of the Service. (All) Usage rights shall immediately lapse without any further action required upon the termination of the Agreement.

16.13. If the Agreement is terminated for any reason, the provisions that by their nature are intended to continue to apply after termination of the Agreement shall continue to apply. This shall in any case – but not exclusively – apply to the provisions in these Terms and Conditions relating to confidentiality, liability, guarantees, Intellectual Property, applicable law and competent court.

Article 17. Liability

17.1. The liability of ByTomorrow for an attributable failure in the performance of the Agreement, an unlawful act, or any other act or omission by ByTomorrow, its employees, or third parties engaged by it, is limited to compensation for direct damages. The total liability of ByTomorrow for direct damages is limited to the amount that the Client has paid to ByTomorrow under the Agreement in the contractual year preceding the contractual year in which the damaging event occurred (excluding VAT). If and to the extent that the damaging event occurs in the first contractual year of the Agreement concluded between the Parties, the total liability of ByTomorrow for direct damages is limited to the amount that the Client has paid to ByTomorrow under the Agreement in the relevant contractual year (excluding VAT). In no event shall the total liability of ByTomorrow for direct damages, regardless of the cause, exceed the amount actually paid out by the insurer in that respect.

17.2. Direct damages shall exclusively mean:

  • material damage;
  • reasonable expenses that the Client would have to incur to ensure that ByTomorrow's performance is in compliance with the Agreement, unless the Agreement has been terminated by the Client;
  • reasonable expenses incurred by the Client to determine the cause and extent of the damage, to the extent that this determination is related to direct damages within the meaning of the Agreement;
  • reasonable expenses incurred to prevent or limit damage, to the extent that the Client can demonstrate that these expenses have led to a limitation of direct damages within the meaning of the Agreement.

17.3. Any liability of ByTomorrow other than for direct damages, including - but expressly not limited to - indirect damages, consequential damages, loss and/or damage of data (including (backup of) Client's Recordings and/or Data), loss of profits, loss of turnover, loss of savings, diminished goodwill, damage caused by business interruption, damage resulting from claims by third parties, damage related to the use by ByTomorrow of goods, materials, or software of third parties prescribed to the Client, damage related to the involvement of suppliers prescribed by ByTomorrow to the Client, is excluded. Also excluded is liability of ByTomorrow for mutilation, destruction or loss of data or documents.

17.4. ByTomorrow is not liable for any damages or costs resulting from (improper) use or abuse made of access or identification codes, unless the abuse has been possible as a direct result of an act or omission by ByTomorrow.

17.5. ByTomorrow is not liable for any damages to third parties, for any reason whatsoever, arising from the actions and/or conduct of the Client, Users and/or Viewers with regard to the Service, Recordings and Client's Data, as a result of which the relevant third parties have suffered any damage. The Client indemnifies ByTomorrow against any claims by third parties in this regard.

17.6. Any liability of ByTomorrow for damages caused by and/or resulting from the use of third-party software and/or materials is excluded.

17.7. The exclusions and limitations of liability referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this article do not apply if and insofar as the damage is caused by intent, willful recklessness, or gross negligence on the part of ByTomorrow and/or its directors.

17.8. Unless performance by ByTomorrow is permanently impossible, the liability of ByTomorrow for an attributable failure in the performance of the Agreement only arises if the Client immediately notifies ByTomorrow in writing of the default, stating a reasonable period for remedying the default, and ByTomorrow remains in default after that period. The notice of default must contain a description of the default as complete and detailed as possible, so that ByTomorrow has the opportunity to respond adequately.

17.9. A condition for the creation of any right to compensation is that the Client reports the damage to ByTomorrow in writing within 30 days of its occurrence. The Client's right to claim compensation under the Agreement, on the basis of unlawful act or otherwise, shall in any event expire one (1) year after the event on which the claim or proceeding is based.

17.10. The provisions of this article as well as all other limitations and exclusions of liability mentioned in these Terms and Conditions also apply for the benefit of all (legal) persons whom ByTomorrow employs in the performance of the Agreement.

Article 18. Force Majeure

18.1. Neither party shall be deemed to have defaulted on the performance of any obligations under the Agreement if such failure is caused by force majeure.

18.2. Neither party shall be required to fulfill any obligation (excluding the obligation to compensate for additional costs as referred to in Article 18.3), including any agreed-upon warranty obligations, if it is prevented from doing so due to force majeure. Force majeure shall also include: (1) non-performance by suppliers of ByTomorrow and/or partners with whom ByTomorrow cooperates in the context of the Service, such as but not limited to OTT providers (over-the-top providers) and/or the hosting provider, (2) defects in goods, equipment, software or materials of third parties whose use by Customer is prescribed to ByTomorrow, (3) the provision of and access to Recordings by Customer, uploaded via the Platform, in a non-standard and unreadable format for ByTomorrow, (4) government measures, (5) power failure, (6) fire, (7) floods, (8) disruption of internet, computer networks or telecommunication facilities, including hacking, malware, worms, computer viruses, trojan horses, logic bombs, denial of service tools (including DDoS attacks) and/or other viruses, (9) war, mobilization and/or domestic unrest, (10) import and export restrictions, (11) work stoppages, (12) strikes, (13) business disruptions, (14) consequences of pandemics and epidemics. If the force majeure lasts longer than three months, both Parties shall have the right to terminate the Agreement in writing. In such case, what has already been performed under the Agreement shall be settled pro rata without either party being liable for anything further.

18.3. In the event of a disruption of the facilities and/or Recordings of Customer, such as disruptions of internet, computer networks or telecommunication facilities, including hacking, malware, worms, computer viruses, trojans, logic bombs, denial of service tools (including DDoS attacks), and/or other viruses, and such a disruption causes an extra burden on the Service, ByTomorrow will charge any additional costs resulting from such disruption to Customer. ByTomorrow will inform Customer of any additional burden and the costs arising therefrom in such a case.

Article 19. Transfer of rights and obligations to third parties

19.1. ByTomorrow shall at all times be entitled to transfer its rights and/or obligations or claims on Customer under the Agreement to third parties. If and insofar as necessary, Customer hereby grants its consent and cooperation to such transfer.

19.2. Customer is not allowed to sell, rent out, or otherwise fully or partially transfer its rights and/or obligations under the Agreements to third parties without prior written consent from ByTomorrow. ByTomorrow shall not unreasonably withhold such consent. However, it is entitled to impose additional conditions on such consent.

Artikel 20. Overige bepalingen

20.1. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid, the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. In that case, the Parties shall replace the invalid provision with a valid provision in accordance with the purpose and meaning of the Agreement, and in such a way that the new provision differs as little as possible from the invalid provision.

20.2. The Agreement can only be supplemented or amended if the Parties jointly decide to do so and agree on this in writing, without prejudice to the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions. If no arrangement or provision has been made in these Terms and Conditions for a particular situation, the Parties will consult with each other regarding an addition to the Agreement that is in line with the other agreements in these Terms and Conditions.

20.3. Communications, including promises or (further) agreements, from one Party to the other Party, shall only bind the Parties if they are made or confirmed in writing by an authorized person.

20.4. Failure by one of the Parties to demand compliance with (any provision of) the Agreement within an agreed term shall not affect the right to demand compliance subsequently, unless the relevant Party has expressly and in writing agreed to the non-compliance.

21.1. The Agreement and the resulting rights and obligations shall be governed exclusively by Dutch law.

Werkuren From 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (Dutch time).

Article 24. Availability

24.1. ByTomorrow strives to achieve an availability percentage of 97% per calendar month. The Availability is calculated by ByTomorrow on a monthly basis (per calendar month) after the fact. If the Agreement lasts less than one month, the Availability will be calculated afterwards over the duration of the Agreement. The Availability is calculated based on 24 hours a day, including all days in the relevant calendar month. For the calculation of the Availability, Maintenance as well as Downtime as a result of one of the situations as described in Article 27.2 will be excluded.

The formula is expressed as follows:

Availability %= Total hours in calendar month - Maintenance - Total hours of Downtime ex Article 27.2 * 100
Total hours in calendar month

24.2. Upon request by Customer, ByTomorrow will send a report showing the Availability for the past measuring period.

24.3. ByTomorrow will use its best efforts to achieve the Availability percentage as referred to in clause 1, but cannot guarantee this. In the event that the Availability percentage is not achieved, Customer expressly has no right to credit for fees due under the Agreement, damages, and/or termination of the Agreement.

Article 25. Maintenance

25.1. ByTomorrow may perform Maintenance on the Platform at any time without prior consent of Customer. Maintenance may include corrective maintenance (bug fixes and improving quality/performance), preventive maintenance (testing and updating based on new operating systems or browsers), adaptive maintenance, perfective maintenance (improving performance or other quality characteristics), maintenance on functionalities, as well as releasing new versions of the Platform.

25.2. The development of new features and/or modification of the Platform at the request of Customer is not covered by the Maintenance covered by this SLA and involves services that will be provided on a time and materials basis at ByTomorrow's regular rates. ByTomorrow is not obliged to honor such a request by Customer. If ByTomorrow does honor such a request, the results of the development will not be used solely for Customer, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing by the Parties.

25.3. ByTomorrow will plan Maintenance whenever possible. ByTomorrow will notify Customer prior to performing planned Maintenance. It will make every effort to notify Customer of Planned Maintenance at least two weeks prior to its commencement. The notification will, where possible, include the start time of the Maintenance and the expected duration of the Platform's unavailability, if any.

25.4. In case of acute problems with the Platform, Emergency Maintenance may be necessary. If possible, Emergency Maintenance will be communicated to Customer as soon as possible. If this is not reasonably possible, Emergency Maintenance will be carried out without notifying Customer.

Article 26. Malfunctions and Support Requests

26.1. Reporting Incidents and Support Requests

If the Customer believes there is an Incident or wishes to make a Support Request, they shall report it to ByTomorrow during the Service Window. Only the registered contact person of the Customer with ByTomorrow may report an Incident. This report may be made by email or WhatsApp Business using the contact information provided by ByTomorrow to the Customer (only during the Service Window).

26.2. When making a report, the Customer shall provide the following information to ByTomorrow:

  • name of the Customer's company;
  • name of the contact person responsible for the report on behalf of the Customer;
  • contact details (telephone number, mobile phone number and email address) of that contact person;
  • detailed and accurate description of the problem (in case of an Incident) - including, but not limited to, information about the operating system, the device, the steps leading to the problem, screenshots, etc. - or question (in case of a Support Request);
  • description of the steps already taken by the Customer.

26.3. The Customer shall provide its report with all relevant information possible to enable ByTomorrow to estimate the classification of the report in accordance with Article 26.7 and to process the report as efficiently as possible. Incomplete or incorrect information may result in failure to meet the Response and Resolution Times as referred to in this SLA, or inability to find a satisfactory solution to the report. In such case, ByTomorrow cannot be held liable.

26.4. If the report meets the conditions of this SLA, ByTomorrow will process the report.

26.5. The Customer shall at its own expense provide all necessary cooperation to ByTomorrow in resolving the Incident and/or processing the Support Request. If necessary, the Customer shall take action and make available the necessary and capable (contact) persons who may be consulted by ByTomorrow if necessary to address Incidents and Support Requests adequately - and in accordance with the agreed service levels in this SLA.

26.6. The Customer shall respond immediately to requests from ByTomorrow for instructions, information, approvals, or decisions that ByTomorrow needs to handle the report within the Response and Resolution Times and resolve the Incident.

26.7. Priority Level of Incidents

The report of a malfunction will be classified by ByTomorrow based on the criteria included in the following table. Only ByTomorrow decides which classification will be assigned to the malfunction.

Level Description
Critical Incident An incident that reveals certain functionalities of the Platform are not functioning to the extent that the Customer, Users, and/or Viewers cannot use them and/or cannot continue their work, and it is plausible that the cause of this is not due to errors in the user configuration.
Non-critical Incident An incident (disruption or otherwise) of the Platform that is annoying but not blocking for the Customer, Users, and/or Viewers. The Customer, Users, and/or Viewers can use the Platform in principle.

26.8. Response and Resolution Times for Incidents and Support Requests

ByTomorrow endeavors to take in the Customer's Report within the Response Time agreed upon between the Parties - as mentioned in the table below - and to confirm receipt to the Customer by sending a Response. As part of the Response, ByTomorrow will - if applicable and if possible at that time - classify the Incident as Critical or Non-critical. In addition, if possible at that time, it will provide the expected Resolution Time to the Customer.

Priority Level / Support Response Time (after Notification) Resolution Time (after Response)
Critical Incident 16 Business Hours (calculated within Service Window) 8 Business Hours (calculated within Service Window)
Critical Incident related to the Service for live streams of Recordings by Customer via the Platform During Service Window: 2 Business Hours (calculated within Service Window), or; Outside Service Window: 3 hours (calculated between 09:00 and 18:00 Dutch time) 8 Business Hours (calculated within Service Window)
Non-critical Incident 16 Business Hours (calculated within Service Window) 80 Business Hours (calculated within Service Window)
Support 16 Business Hours (calculated within Service Window) Within reasonable time, depending on the nature of the Support request. Effort-based.

26.9. Response and Completion times are measured in hours within the designated Service Window. Hours that fall outside the Service Window do not count towards calculating the Response and Completion time. For notifications made outside the Service Window, the Response time and/or expected Completion time will be calculated from the beginning of the next Service Window. However, ByTomorrow may decide to process notifications outside the Service Window immediately, i.e. before the next Service Window begins.

26.10. The Response and Completion times are indicative and no rights can be derived by Customer.

26.11. For the resolution of Failures and/or the handling of Support requests, ByTomorrow may be dependent on its suppliers. Therefore, the failure of ByTomorrow to meet the Completion times due to these dependencies cannot be attributed to ByTomorrow.

26.12. The Response and Completion time is measured and recorded solely by ByTomorrow. ByTomorrow's (hour) administration is leading for determining whether the Response and/or Completion times have been met by ByTomorrow or not.

26.13. If there is force majeure - as referred to in Article 18 of these Terms and Conditions - on the part of ByTomorrow, the Response time and/or expected Completion time will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure.

26.14. Response to the Notification will be provided by ByTomorrow by e-mail and/or via WhatsApp Business and addressed to the (registered with ByTomorrow) contact person of Customer who made the Notification. If there is reason for ByTomorrow to do so, its Response may also be provided by telephone to the aforementioned contact person.

26.15. If ByTomorrow is dependent on input from Customer to meet the Response time and/or expected Completion time, the Response time and/or expected Completion time will be extended accordingly until the moment when the input has been fully provided by Customer. This also includes - but is not limited to - the situation where the Notification from Customer does not comply with the provisions of Article 26.1 through 26.6. In situations as described in this Article, Customer cannot attribute the failure to meet the Response time and/or expected Completion time to ByTomorrow.

26.16. (Repeated) exceeding of the Response time and/or expected Completion time by ByTomorrow will be discussed by the Parties once a year in a meeting. The Parties have not agreed on any consequences for this exceeding and, without any conflicting written agreements, Customer is not entitled to any credit for due fees under the Agreement and/or compensation. The Parties also agree that - without any conflicting written agreements - exceeding of the Response time and/or expected Completion time by ByTomorrow will not constitute a ground for termination of the Agreement.

26.17. Oplossingsrichtingen Storingen

Na ontvangst van de Melding terzake een Storing en nadat ByTomorrow heeft beoordeeld dat er daadwerkelijk sprake is van een Storing, zal ByTomorrow zich er voor inspannen om Klant zo snel mogelijk - indien beschikbaar - de meest voor de hand liggende oplossingsrichting mede te delen. Uitsluitend ByTomorrow bepaalt welke oplossingsrichting gekozen wordt.

26.18. The solution of an incident (as well as the turnaround time involved) will always be based on a best efforts obligation. Any expected deadlines for the solution of an incident, whether or not deviating from the turnaround times, are always an estimate and no rights can be derived from them by the Customer. In no event will the resolution of incidents be subject to a fatal deadline.

26.19. If ByTomorrow detects incidents on its own initiative, it will also make every effort to resolve them quickly.

Article 27. Final provisions

27.1. Unless ByTomorrow has expressly promised a certain result or given a guarantee, it provides all its services under this SLA on the basis of a best efforts obligation. Unless otherwise indicated in writing, the deadlines and (response and turnaround) times provided by ByTomorrow always represent a best effort. They cannot be regarded as a fatal deadline.

27.2. The service levels and obligations agreed upon in this SLA do not apply if incidents occur or the agreed-upon service levels are not met due to:

  • acts or omissions by the Customer in violation of its obligations;
  • configuration errors of the Customer;
  • acts or omissions by a third party that should be borne by the Customer;
  • force majeure;
  • incidents arising from deficiencies of components or links with or originating from third parties;
  • incidents related to the availability of internet connections, hosting and/or content delivery networks (CDNs);
  • causes arising from the services of third parties.

27.3. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, ByTomorrow is not obliged to provide (user) training regarding the content and operation of the Platform.

27.4. All intellectual property rights arising from or related to the modifications or additions to the Platform, whether or not resulting from a Report, shall remain with ByTomorrow at all times.

27.5. In case ByTomorrow fails to meet the service levels described in this SLA or otherwise fails to comply with the obligations in this SLA, the Client shall have no other rights (including the right to credit fees due under the Agreement, the right to compensation, and the right to terminate the Agreement), other than those described in this SLA.
