In that event, the User will forfeit interest at a rate equivalent to the statutory commercial interest as described in section 6:119a of the Netherlands Civil Code.

The User is also required to pay interest over the collection costs.

11.2. The Supplier will never be liable for any damage as a result of the death or injury of the User and/or third parties. 
11.3. The User hereby indemnifies the Supplier against any claims lodged by third parties on any grounds whatsoever in connection with the compensation of damage, costs or interest connected with the present Agreement and/or FireServiceRota.co.uk, unless the facts on which a claim is based are directly and reasonable attributable to the Supplier.

12.1. The Supplier is not required to comply with any obligation vis-a-vis the User if it is subject to circumstances beyond its control which prevent its compliance.
