These terms and conditions of business (the “Terms”) are applicable to all services, provided by Henrik Villumsen Lawfirm, VAT (“CVR”) no. DK29454345 (the “Lawfirm”), when retained by the client. In relation to the Lawfirms services as arbitrator, however, other terms may (also) apply.

By retaining the Lawfirm, the client unequivocally accepts and acknowledges, that the Terms apply to the services performed. The Terms supersede any client-business terms.

Prior to performing services for a client, the Lawfirm will apply reasonable measures to secure, that no conflict of interest exists.

The Lawfirm’s fee (the “Fee”) is calculated on the basis of i) the volume, nature, complexity, importance, value and deadline of/for the services performed, ii) the responsibility connected with performing the services, and iii) the result accomplished. The Fee reflects the Lawfirm's highly specialized competences and experience.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lawfirm may require a minimum Fee for any service(s) and/or a reasonable retainer and may, prior to performing any services, require a fully earned Fee, and/or may invoice Fee at any time.

In addition to the Fee, the client reimburses the Lawfirm’s agreed or necessary reasonable expenses related to performing the services, including travel and accommodation (“Expenses”).

Payment of the Fee and Expenses is due upon receipt of invoice. Late payment will result in interest and the Lawfirm may suspend or terminate agreed services.

The Lawfirm may propose assistance from (a) third party(ies) for performing the services (the “Third Party”) and may disclose confidential information from the client to the Third Party.

THE LAWFIRM DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR SERVICES PERFORMED AND THE CLIENT CANNOT MAKE ANY CLAIMS WHATSOEVER AGAINST THE LAWFIRM, RELATED TO ACTS OR OMISSIONS, EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS ABOVE 50.000 DKK (IF CLAIM RAISED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ABOVE 200.000 DKK) RELATED TO WILLFUL OR NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS.

To the fullest extent permissable by applicable law, the Lawfirm treats the client’s confidential information confidentially and obligates any Third Party to do the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, however, the Lawfirm may disclose, that the Lawfirm is retained by the client.

AS THE LAWFIRM IS HIGHLY SPECIALIZED AND WORKS EXCLUSIVELY IN THE GLOBAL LIGHTING INDUSTRY, THE CLIENT SPECIFICALLY ACCEPTS, THAT THE LAWFIRM MAY BE RETAINED AND PERFORM SERVICES, INCLUDING SIMILAR OR IDENTICAL TYPES OF SERVICES, FOR THE CLIENT’S DIRECT COMPETITORS OR BUSINESS PARTNERS, INCLUDING AT THE SAME TIME AND IN RESPECT OF THE SAME SUBJECT MATTER(S) AND/OR COUNTERPART(S).

All intellectual property rights derived from performing the services (the “IPR”) belongs to the Lawfirm, but the Lawfirm – provided due payment of any Fee and Expenses - grants to the client a royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, un-assignable license to use the IPR solely for the client's business purposes.

The Lawfirm has implemented reasonably appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of personal information over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing. Unless specifically described by the client, and agreed to in writing by the Lawfirm, the standard security measures implemented by the Lawfirm are accepted by the client. On request from the client, the Lawfirm shall provide the client with sufficient information, in order for the client to be able to assure that the required technical and organizational measures are in place.
