d. fails to pay an invoice amount or part of it within the period set for it,
e. proceeds to discontinue or transfer its business or an important part thereof, including the contribution of its business to a company to be incorporated or already existing, or proceeds to change the objective of its business,
by the mere occurrence of one of the aforementioned circumstances, The Beach has the right either to dissolve the agreement, or to claim any amount owed by the client based on services provided by The Beach, immediately and without any warning or notice of default being required, all without prejudice to its right to compensation for costs, damages and interest.
13.1. For this purpose, "force majeure" shall mean any circumstance independent of the will of the parties or unforeseeable as a result of which fulfilment of the agreement can no longer reasonably be required by the other party.
13.2 If, in the opinion of The Beach, the force majeure will be temporary, the parties have the option of setting a new date for the execution of the agreement within one month of the original execution date. This is subject to the condition that this new date to be set falls within 3 months of the original execution date. For this relocation of the execution date, The Beach will charge 12.5% of the agreed amount as relocation costs.
13.3 If the client does not comply with Article 13.2, the cancellation conditions of Article 8 come into effect.
13.5. The party that believes it is (or will be) in force majeure shall immediately notify the other party.

14.2 Complaints about invoices must also be submitted in writing and within 5 days of the invoice date.
14.3 After the expiry of these periods, complaints will no longer be considered by The Beach and the other party will be deemed to have approved the invoice. 14.4 If the claim is found by The Beach to be justified, The Beach is only obliged to still deliver the agreed performance.
14.5 Only if and insofar as the complaint is found to be well-founded does this suspend the client's payment obligation.
15.1 The Beach reserves the right to pass on the total agreed amount if it appears that fewer people have taken part in the event, than was specified by the client.

If the actual attendance is less than indicated by the client, The Beach reserves the right to have the event take place on fewer courts or to shorten the playing time.
15.2 Event catering will be provided at all times and by The Beach. Own refreshments are not allowed. Unless otherwise agreed in writing.
15.3 The room in which the event takes place remains accessible to third parties, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Agreements are exclusively governed by Dutch law. In case of disputes between The Beach and a client, the competent court in the domicile of The Beach has exclusive jurisdiction, unless another court has jurisdiction by virtue of mandatory statutory provision, and without prejudice to the authority of The Beach to have the dispute settled by the court that would have jurisdiction in the absence of this clause.
