Article 17 – Limitation period

Contrary to the statutory limitation periods, a limitation period of one year applies to all claims against School of Joy and the third parties (possibly) engaged by School of Joy.

The foregoing does not apply to claims based on the non-compliance of the delivered item with the Agreement. In this case, the claims lapse two years after the Other Party has informed School of Joy about the defect in the delivered item.

Article 18 - Copyright statement and intellectual property

The Other Party participating in a training may be required to sign a copyright statement, whereby the Other Party expressly signs that the received training material in whatever form is the intellectual property of School of Joy or other interested parties and that reproduction of the material in any form manner is not permitted.

School of Joy reserves the rights and powers that accrue to it under the Copyright Act and other intellectual laws and regulations. School of Joy reserves the right to use any knowledge gained through the performance of the work for other purposes, insofar as this no confidential information is disclosed to third parties.

Article 19 - Privacy

School of Joy will keep the data and information that the Other Party provides to School of Joy carefully and confidentially.

School of Joy may only use the personal data of the Other Party in the context of fulfilling its obligation to deliver or handling a complaint.

School of Joy is not permitted to lend, rent, sell or in any other way make public the personal data of the Other Party.

If, on the basis of a statutory provision or a court decision, School of Joy is obliged to provide confidential information to third parties, and School of Joy cannot invoke a legal right of non-disclosure recognized or permitted by the competent court, then School of Joy is not obliged to pay damages or compensation.

The Other Party is also not entitled to dissolve the Agreement on the basis of any damage that has arisen as a result.

The Other Party agrees that School of Joy will approach the Other Party for statistical research or customer satisfaction research. If the Other Party does not wish to be approached for an investigation, the Other Party can make this known.

School of Joy reserves the right to use the other data of the Other Party anonymously for (statistical) research and database.

Article 20 - Detailed provision with regard to digital content

The Other Party that purchases digital content in the form of an audio, video or text file, or uses downloaded files or streaming content, whether or not on a carrier, expressly agrees that the digital content is exclusively intended for personal use and will not copy it for the purpose of distributing, selling or otherwise making it available to third parties in any way.

Article 21 - Amendment of General Terms and Conditions

School of Joy has the right to unilaterally change these Terms and Conditions.

Changes will also apply to Agreements already concluded.

School of Joy will inform the Other Party of the changes by e-mail.

Web page conditions by means of a modified version date, or under a relevant download link.

Article 22 - Applicable law and disputes

Dutch law applies exclusively to all legal relationships to which School of Joy is a party. This also applies if an obligation is wholly or partly performed abroad or if the Other Party is domiciled abroad.

The applicability of the Vienna Sales Convention is excluded.

Disputes between School of Joy and the Other Party will only be submitted to the competent court in the district of Zeeland-West-Brabant, unless the law prescribes otherwise.
