True Lawyers shall not be liable for damage resulting from inadequate cooperation, information or materials provided by the Client.
By assigning work to True Lawyers, the Client agrees that communication in connection with the execution of the assignment may take place by electronic mail (email communication) and that the execution of the assignment may also take place by means of electronic data communication.

True Lawyers is entitled to suspend the performance of all services relating to a specific assignment (after having informed the Client thereof by email) until the outstanding amount has been paid in full. True Lawyers shall not be liable for any damage resulting therefrom.

Article 10
In certain cases, True Lawyers may agree on a fixed fee or another form of remuneration.

If, after such remuneration has been agreed, the nature or scope of the (legal) measures changes due to changed circumstances or wishes of the Client, True Lawyers reserves the right to adjust the fee arrangements accordingly.
If a fixed fee or other form of remuneration applies instead of or in addition to an hourly fee, no refund shall be made if the (legal) measures do not take place within twelve months after the remuneration has been agreed and paid, for any reason attributable to the Client. No refund shall be made if the Client decides to discontinue or suspend the agreed services or legal measures prematurely. No interest shall ever be paid on such remuneration.
The services shall commence after the fixed fee or other fixed remuneration has been received by True Lawyers.
