If such delays last more than two months, clients and the Agency are entitled to withdraw from the contract.
4.3. If the Agency is in default, clients may only withdraw from the contract after they have set the Agency a grace period of at least 14 days in writing and said grace period expires fruitlessly.

The goods delivered by the Agency will remain the property of the Agency until full payment of the fee including all ancillary liabilities.
8.2. In the event of default on payments by clients, statutory default interest is applicable at the rate applicable to business transactions. Furthermore, in the event of default in payment, clients undertake to reimburse the Agency for the reminder and collection costs incurred, insofar as they are necessary for the appropriate prosecution of rights and claims. This shall in any case include the costs of two reminders in the amount customary in the market as well as a reminder letter from a lawyer commissioned with the collection of the amount due. The assertion of further rights and claims remains unaffected.
8.3. In the event of default on payment by clients, the Agency may immediately request payment of any services and partial services rendered within the scope of other contracts concluded with clients.
