employment agreement as mentioned in article 7:610 Dutch Civil Law.

1. The institute is not liable for damages caused by the discontinuation or premature ending of the placement as a result of:

circumstances within the company, including bankruptcy, moratorium and strikes;

the students circumstances, including illness and homesickness;

force majeure, which means any circumstances independent of the will of the institute - even when this circumstance

agreement permanently or temporarily, and also, as far as not covered by this stipulation, war, threat of war, civil war,
armed conflicts, revolts, riots, insurrection, mutiny and/or natural disasters.

The student is - additionally - insured through the institute against personal physical injuries caused by accidents while
on duty and as far as the damages are not entirely covered by the students own medical insurance.

4.

The student is - if not insured or otherwise insured (insufficiently) and to a certain maximum amount - insured
through the institute against damages to the company caused by the students negligence and occured during
activities for the benefit of the company and so in the companys time. Damages as a result of driving (company)
cars is not covered by this insurance. The company is to take out a comprehensive car insurance for this
purpose.

experiences. Further, the student incorporates his/her findings and the details of the assignment into a report
which has to be completed at the end of the placement period.
2.

The organisation will give its opinion on the student, by filling in the assessment form and will send it back to the
institute after an evaluation in a final discussion with the student. The supervising lecturer at the institute gives a
final evaluation based on the supervisors evaluation, the placement report and his/hers own impressions and
