  1. Advice and information
    • The advice and information on the Website are of a general nature and are not intended to replace any professional advice for individual and/or specific cases. Although sQinno makes every effort to keep the information on the Website accurate and up-to-date, sQinno cannot be held liable for any loss and/or damage resulting from the use of the information.
  1. Liability
    • In the event of an attributable shortcoming in the performance on its part, sQinno's liability for damage is limited to the amount of the invoice value of the products concerned with which the damage is related. The liability of sQinno is in any case limited to the coverage that the (liability) insurance pays out.
    • Damage is exclusively understood to mean direct damage, consisting of: 1) the reasonable costs to determine the cause and extent of the damage, insofar as the determination relates to damage within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions and there is actually damage and liability of sQinno, 2) any reasonable costs incurred to ensure that the defective performance of sQinno complies with the Agreement,  unless this defect cannot be attributed to sQinno and 3) reasonable costs incurred to prevent or limit the damage, insofar as the Customer demonstrates that he has suffered this damage, and that these costs have actually contributed to limiting the damage.
    • sQinno is not liable for indirect damage, including, but not limited to any consequential damage of the Customer such as loss of income, stagnation damage, loss of profit, missed savings, reduced goodwill, loss of reputation, damage as a result of claims of customers of the Customer.

    • A condition for the creation of any right to compensation is always that the Customer reports the damage to sQinno in Writing as soon as possible after its occurrence in accordance with the periods included in these General Terms and Conditions. Any claim against sQinno, except for which has been acknowledged by sQinno, shall lapse by the mere lapse of 12 months after the claim arose.
    • sQinno takes the necessary care to ensure the optimal functioning and security of its Website and the data obtained through its Website, but cannot guarantee the result of that care. sQinno therefore accepts no liability in this regard for any damage, destruction, loss, theft or corruption of data (including personal data) or for damage resulting from a security breach, infringement or from the (un)availability of the Website. Nor is sQinno liable for damage resulting from unauthorized or unlawful use of its Website and/or Products.
  1. Force majeure

The Customer is under no circumstances entitled to compensation for any damage, costs and/or interest.

    • sQinno is entitled to suspend and/or delete an account and/or to dissolve the Agreement in whole or in part with immediate effect without judicial intervention, in Writing or to suspend without being obliged to pay compensation, and without prejudice to sQinno's right, instead of dissolution or suspension, to demand compliance and without prejudice to its right to compensation,  if:
