To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bol Interieuragenturen B.V. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business interruption arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the extent that liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our total direct liability for claims arising out of or related to the website shall be limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) €100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Dutch law, including liability for intent (opzet) or willful recklessness (bewuste roekeloosheid) where applicable.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Bol Interieuragenturen B.V. regarding the website, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings on the same subject.

We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.
