2. You cannot hold Avaxa liable for any third party claims, including a claim for reasonable costs for legal assistance, which will be related in any way to the services rendered to you, unless such claims are the result of wilful misconduct (‘opzet’) or grave recklessness (’bewuste roekeloosheid’) of Avaxa.
3. You shall indemnify us and hold us harmless against any claim by third parties that may arise as a result of any failure on your part to comply or to comply properly with any obligation arising from the Engagement and/or these General Terms and Conditions, unless you demonstrate that the losses do not relate to imputable acts or omissions on your part, or were caused by wilful misconduct (‘opzet’) or grave recklessness (‘bewuste roekeloosheid’) on Avaxa’s part.
