3.1. Team5pm makes every effort to carry out the Assignment with the greatest extend of care as possible, and to represent the interests of the Client to the best of its knowledge and to strive for a Result that can and may be expected of a reasonable and professionally acting contractor. As far as possible, Team5pm will make every effort to include the input of the Client while editing recordings, whether or not during the feedback rounds in accordance with clause 3.4. With regard to an Assignment, Team5pm is permitted to carry out everything that has not been explicitly prescribed in writing by the Client according to its own technical and creative insight, without this being a reason for rejection, discount, compensation or dissolution of the Agreement.

Recordings made for the execution of the Assignment will not be re-recorded. This also applies if no suitable and mandated employee on behalf of the Client was present during recordings. If recordings have to be rescheduled at the request of the Client or – contrary to the aforementioned – are being re-recorded, the resulting costs will be incurred by the Client.
3.4. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in the Agreement, there are 2 feedback rounds after the preliminary Result. Feedback round 1 takes place after recording and first editing.

If the Agreement does not state a term, the Parties agree that Team5pm will edit the discussed parts within a maximum of 10 working days. The proposed adjustments for editing have to be reasonable. This includes, amongst others, the correction of titles, name titles and other similar minor adjustments. If the proposed adjustments deviate from what was initially agreed upon in the Assignment, the Parties will discuss the additional costs. Feedback round 2 takes place after the Team5pm has edited the proposed adjustments of feedback round 1. The aforementioned regarding feedback round 1 applies to feedback round 2 as well. When feedback round 2 is completed, the Result is deemed to have been accepted.
3.5. If Parties have agreed that the Assignment will be carried out in several stages, Team5pm can suspend (opschorten) the execution of work that belongs to a subsequent stage until the Client has approved (or is deemed to do so) in writing that the preceding phase is approved. Extra costs that are the result of a suspension due to late approval by the Client will be borne by the Client.
