In the latter case, the Advertiser shall not be entitled to a refund or any form of compensation.

Article 11. Bidding
- Bidding on advertised products via the Publication is without obligation and serves as an opportunity for the Advertiser and the User to connect with each other. The ultimate conclusion of an Agreement takes place in direct contact between the Advertiser and the User. Arimpex is in no way a party to this.
- It is explicitly not intended for bids to be placed on Advertisements if the User is not genuinely interested. Abuse of the bidding option in the Publication will not be tolerated and may result in exclusion from use.
Article 12. Feedback
- In some cases, the Publication offers Users the option to provide feedback regarding the progress of the Agreement with an Advertiser. If, in Arimpex's opinion, the User abuses the option to provide feedback, for example by using offensive language, Arimpex may block this User's access to the Publication.
- Advertisers are not permitted to provide feedback on their own Advertisement on the Publication (whether or not by using other email addresses).
Article 13. Privacy

Article 14. Security
- Arimpex makes reasonable efforts to secure its systems against loss and/or against any form of unlawful use and takes appropriate technical and organizational measures for this purpose, taking into account, among other things, the state of the art.
- However, Arimpex is not liable for loss of data, damage to files, unlawfully obtained access to computers or files, viruses or other unlawful programs or files spread via Advertisements, or any other consequence of the use made of the Publication.
- It is prohibited to (attempt to) bypass, disable, or otherwise influence the security of the Edition or parts thereof, or to (attempt to) obstruct or restrict its use by third parties.

Article 16. (Deep)linking to and scraping of the Edition
- Arimpex allows Users, in principle, to place (deep)links to the Publication on other websites, as long as these (deep)links result in a correct, up-to-date and complete search result on the Publication.

The User must then remove the (deep)links to the Publication within one week of receiving the notice and keep them removed.

Article 18. Intellectual property rights
- All (intellectual) property rights to the Publication, including copyright, trademark, database and trade name rights, rest exclusively with Arimpex and/or its licensor. The foregoing does not apply to the content of placed Advertisements. The (right to) use of a Publication in no way implies the existence of any transfer, license or other right of use with respect to these rights to the User.
- Arimpex explicitly reserves the copyrights with regard to the Publication. It is therefore not permitted – without the prior consent of Arimpex – to reproduce or disclose the Publication in whole or in part in any way whatsoever, with the exception of the deep links permitted under Article 16. Mentioning Arimpex as the source does not change this.
- For the full or partial reproduction or other disclosure of a Publication, the User must obtain prior permission from the editorial staff and/or publisher of the relevant Publication. Whether this permission is granted and under what conditions is determined on a case-by-case basis, and the user cannot rely on permission previously granted or permission granted to third parties. Costs may be associated with the reproduction of content with permission, the amount of which is determined by Arimpex.
- If the User infringes on the rights of Arimpex, they are responsible for all damages suffered by Arimpex as a result thereof, including the costs of detection and legal assistance.
Article 19. Choice of law and dispute resolution
- Dutch law applies to these Terms.
- Disputes regarding the Advertising Agreement and/or these Terms shall be submitted exclusively to the competent court in Amsterdam.
A Private Advertiser and a User who is not acting in the exercise of a profession or business can also submit a dispute regarding the Advertising Agreement and/or these Terms and Conditions to the European platform for online dispute resolution (http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/).
