Onder overmacht wordt mede verstaan (i) overheidsmaatregelen, (ii) elektriciteitsstoring, (iii) storing van internet, computernetwerk- of telecommunicatiefaciliteiten, (iv) oorlog, (v) werkbezetting, (vi) staking, (vii) algemene vervoersproblemen, (viii) de gebrekkigheid van zaken, apparatuur, programmatuur of materialen waarvan het gebruik door Licentienemer is verzocht, (ix) overmacht van toeleveranciers van Tygron, (x) het niet naar behoren nakomen van verplichtingen van toeleveranciers die door Licentienemer zijn aangedragen. 5.3 Voorts vervalt iedere aansprakelijkheid van Tygron en de mogelijkheid om van Tygron schadevergoeding te vorderen indien Tygron niet is ingelicht over de feiten die aanleiding hebben gegeven tot de schade onmiddellijk doch in ieder geval niet later dan 5 dagen nadat deze feiten bekend waren, ook indien toen nog niet duidelijk was dat deze feiten tot schade zouden kunnen leiden. De mogelijkheid om van Tygron een schadevergoeding te vorderen vervalt voorts indien de feiten die aanleiding hebben gegeven tot de schade tijdig aan Tygron bekend zijn gemaakt, doch de vordering tot schadevergoeding niet binnen 12 maanden nadat de schade zich heeft voorgedaan in een juridische procedure aanhangig is gemaakt. 5.4 Tygron is voorts niet aansprakelijk voor de wijze waarop de resultaten van een Editorsessie en/of een Gebruikerssessie worden geïnterpreteerd en/of geïmplementeerd. Eindgebruiker vrijwaart Tygron voor eventuele aanspraken van derden in verband met het gebruik van de Programmatuur door Eindgebruiker en/of de eventuele resultaten van de Gebruikerssessies en de Editorsessies en/of de Gebruiksgegevens ten gevolge van het gebruik van de Programmatuur door Eindgebruiker. 5.5 Tygron is niet aansprakelijk voor geleden schade als gevolg van het niet of beperkt kunnen gebruiken van de Programmatuur als gevolg van interne en externe storingen, onderbrekingen bij Tygron en/of derden van enige verbinding, storingen van het internet of bij providers, of tekortkomingen van andere derden. 5.6 De capaciteit van de Server is ingericht op een redelijk – en het door Tygron geschatte – gebruik van de Programmatuur door Eindgebruiker. Indien het gebruik van de Programmatuur (al dan niet door piek belasting) meer capaciteit van de Server vergt dan door Tygron ingeschat, kan dit de toegang tot de Server blokkeren waardoor het gebruik van de Programmatuur niet mogelijk is. Tygron is niet aansprakelijk voor de eventuele schade die dit tot gevolg heeft. Tygron is bevoegd technische voorzieningen te implementeren ten einde overbelasting van de Server tegen te gaan, waaronder de mogelijkheid om Eindgebruiker de toegang tot de Programmatuur te ontnemen. 5.7 Eindgebruiker is verantwoordelijk voor gebruikmaking van de juiste hardware, die actief is verbonden met het internet, ten einde gebruik te kunnen maken van de Programmatuur. Tygron garandeert niet de compatibiliteit of de juiste werking van de Programmatuur in combinatie met alle hardware. Voor een juiste werking van de Programmatuur adviseert Tygron gebruik te maken van hardware en systemen die voldoen aan de systeemeisen zoals beschreven op de website van Tygron. Tygron is echter niet aansprakelijk voor schade als gevolg van incompatibiliteit van hardware met de Programmatuur.

The possibility to claim compensation from Tygron also lapses if the events that resulted in the damage were communicated in time to Tygron, but the claim for damage was not made the subject of legal proceedings within 12 months after the damage occurred. 5.4 Tygron is not liable for the way in which the results of an Editor Session and/or a User Session are interpreted and/or implemented. End User indemnifies Tygron against any claims of third parties in connection with the use of the Computer Programs and/or any results from User Sessions, Editor Sessions and/or User Data. 5.5 Tygron is not liable for damages resulting from the total or partial inability to use the Computer Programs owing to internal or external disruptions, interruptions by Tygron and/or third parties of any connections, malfunctions of the Internet or at providers, or faults of other third parties, as a result of End Users use of the Computer Programs. 5.6 The capacity of the Server is based on reasonable - and by Tygron estimated - use of the Computer Programs by End Users. If use of the Computer Programs requires more capacity from the Server than estimated by Tygron (whether or not because of peak loads), this might block access to the Server, thereby preventing use of the Computer Programs. Tygron is not liable for any damage that this causes. Tygron is authorised to implement technical measures to deal with overloading of the Server, including the option of denying End User to access to the Computer Programs. 5.7 End Users are responsible for using the appropriate hardware, with an active connection to the Internet, in order to use the Computer Programs. Tygron does not guarantee compatibility or correct operation of the Computer Programs in combination with all hardware items. For the correct operation of the Computer Programs, Tygron recommends the use of hardware and systems that are mentioned on the website of Tygron. Tygron is not liable, however, for damage due to incompatibility of hardware with the Computer Programs.
