limitations of liability do not apply in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence
by Qhub360’s management.

Qhub360’s
liability for any attributable failure arises only after the Client provides a
detailed written notice of default, allowing Qhub360 a reasonable timeframe to
remedy the failure. Liability is established only if Qhub360 fails to act
within this period. The notice must specify the shortcoming clearly to enable
an appropriate response.

the Client’s customers, for damages, costs, or interest arising in connection

performance impossible.

Circumstances include events for which Qhub360 cannot be held liable by law,
legal act, or commonly accepted standards. Examples include civil unrest, wars,
strikes, network attacks (e.g., denial-of-service attacks, hacking), damage to
automated systems, natural disasters, severe weather, power outages, government
actions, staff shortages, or supplier failures that make Agreement performance
unreasonable.

During
Exceptional Circumstances, Qhub360 may suspend its obligations, and the
Client’s payment obligations will also be suspended. If such circumstances
persist beyond 90 days, either party may terminate the Agreement without
liability for damages.

If
Qhub360 has partially fulfilled its obligations under the Agreement or can
fulfil specific obligations during the period of Exceptional Circumstances, it
may issue an invoice for the completed services. The Client is required to
settle this invoice.
Section X.12: Contract
Duration

The

experiences a general seizure of assets.

If
the Client fails to pay within the specified timeframe, Qhub360 may grant an
additional reasonable period for payment. After sixty (60) days from the
original due date, the Client will automatically be in default without further
notice. At this point, Qhub360 reserves the right to limit or suspend services,
including restricting access, temporarily halting the Service, or issuing
warning messages, without liability for resulting damages. During such
suspensions, the Client remains obligated to fulfil payment and other
contractual terms.
4.
Late
payments will incur reimbursement of all extrajudicial and legal expenses,
including attorney fees, in addition to the outstanding amount and any accrued
interest.

Payment
obligations become immediately due if the Client files for bankruptcy, seeks a
moratorium on payments, experiences a general seizure of assets, or undergoes
