  13. If the Client should be in default in the proper performance of what it is obliged to do towards the Service Provider, the Client is liable for all damage on the part of the Service Provider as a result, directly or indirectly.
  14. If the Service Provider agrees with the Client a fixed fee or fixed price, then the Service Provider is nevertheless entitled at any time to increase this fee or this price without the Client being entitled in that case to dissolve the agreement for that reason, if the increase in the price results from a power or obligation under the laws or regulations or is caused by an increase in the price of raw materials, wages, etc. or on other grounds that were not reasonably foreseeable when entering into the agreement.
