With reference to the approval of the State Secretary of Finance VB99/571 dated 24 March 1999, CROSSPOINT and the client expressly declare, by signing this agreement and only to the extent necessary, that the client will use the office space(s)/workplace(s) and meeting rooms for purposes for which there is a full or almost full (at least 90%) right to deduct sales tax. The client will inform CROSSPOINT and the competent tax inspector immediately by registered letter if the client, for whatever reason, no longer has the right to deduct VAT, before this takes effect and the aforementioned deduction changes to below 90%. If it turns out (in retrospect) that the Client does not or no longer uses the office space(s)/workplace(s) for activities that entitle the Client to deduct VAT for at least 90% and the fee becomes VAT-free, the Client is no longer obliged to pay CROSSPOINT VAT on the fee. However, CROSSPOINT is entitled to increase the fee exclusive of VAT in such a way that CROSSPOINT is fully compensated for the VAT (on, among other things, the investments and costs) that CROSSPOINT must repay to the tax authorities or cannot (no longer) deduct. CROSSPOINT will inform the Customer as soon as possible of the amount of this compensation. CROSSPOINT will cooperate if the client wishes to have the statement from CROSSPOINT verified by an independent chartered accountant. The cost of this will be borne by the client. CROSSPOINT expressly declares that in accordance with the provisions of Article 34a of the Turnover Tax Act 1968, it will include the agreement in its records. - Annual increase – Consumer Price Index (CPI).

In all cases in which CROSSPOINT sends a summons, a notice of default or a writ to the client, or in the case of proceedings against the client to force him to comply with the agreement, the client is obliged to pay all costs incurred, both in and out of court, to CROSSPOINT. - Final Provisions
If any part of the agreement or these terms is void or voidable, this will not affect the validity of the remaining part of the agreement and these terms. Instead of the voided or void part, that which is legally permissible and comes closest to what the parties would have agreed upon if they had been aware of the voidness or voidability will be considered agreed upon.
