The duration of the assignment also depends on external factors, also including, though not limited to, the quality and the timely delivery of the information that Bookinfluencers.com obtains from Client.
- Both Client and Bookinfluencers.com can rescind the Agreement on grounds of an attributable shortcoming in compliance with the Agreement if the other party has been declared in default and a reasonable term has been granted to it to still fulfil its obligations and it continues to fail to comply with its obligations correctly in such case.

- In case of the premature termination of the Agreement, Client owes the costs effectively incurred until such time to Bookinfluencers.com, against the established (hourly) rate. The hour registration of Bookinfluencers.com thereby is leading.

Bookinfluencers.com never is liable for the adjustment of the planning. If the start, progress, or delivery of the Services is delayed because, for example, Client has not, has not timely, or has not provided in the format required all information requested, renders insufficient assistance, a possible down payment has not been timely received by Bookinfluencers.com, or due to other circumstances, which are at the expense and risk of Client, a delay pertains, Bookinfluencers.com is entitled to a reasonable extension of the delivery term.

The consequences of such a situation at all times are at the expense and risk of Client.

In the absence thereof, Bookinfluencers.com has the right to suspend its activities until the information is received, without being obligated to pay any compensation of damages on any account whatsoever towards Client. In case of changed circumstances, Client must report this directly, or no later than 3 business days after the change has become known, to Bookinfluencers.com.
Article 8 – Advice

Bookinfluencers.com will deliver the works to be developed when in their professional opinion they meet the specifications of Client, which may thus deviate from the established delivery term.

Client is shown the edited version including any possible adaptations, transitions, and so on. Unless expressly established otherwise, Client does not receive any raw unprocessed imagery from the day(s) of production.
- If it has been established that Client following delivery is entitled to one or several modification rounds with regard to the content, the costs thereof depend on what was established by parties by Agreement.
- Modifications are carried out to the extent these adjustments are reasonable in proportion to the (Film) Work to be delivered and the compensation established for it.

Subsequently, Client must evaluate and accept or reject the Film Work delivered until such time within 7 days after the first version, unless established otherwise. If Client does not reject the delivered matter within this period, the Film Work is deemed to have been accepted and the assignment or that part of the assignment is deemed to have been delivered. Client does not have the right to base an acceptance or rejection in a later stage on aspects that were approved by him already in an earlier stage.
