In that case, DVS Capital is obliged to hold consultations with its clients at the latest when the stage of negotiations between the two clients is reached. This consultation must lead to one of the assignments being suspended or terminated. DVS Capital is therefore not permitted to provide services to more than one client regarding the same immovable property if the provision of the service to one client conflicts with the interests of the other client, regardless of the wishes of those involved.

Barring evidence to the contrary, this connection is assumed to be present if the agreement is concluded within three months after the end of the assignment. If the assignment ends as a result of withdrawal by the client and the client observes a term upon withdrawal, the aforementioned period of three months will be so much shorter if there is a time between the moment at which DVS Capital receives the written notification regarding the withdrawal and that when the assignment ends. The foregoing does not apply if a similar assignment has been given to a professional real estate expert at the time of the termination of the assignment and this assignment is still ongoing at the time of the conclusion of the agreement.

14.3 After termination of the brokerage assignment as referred to in Article 6 paragraph 1 sub b to mg, the client does not owe any commission if an agreement is concluded with regard to immovable property, unless:

- DVS Capital provides sufficient evidence that the conclusion of the agreement with regard to the immovable property is the result of

services provided by DVS Capital to the client during the term of the assignment.

14.4 In the case of agreements, of which the final formation or the obligation to perform, pursuant to a clause belonging to the agreement, depends on a suspensive or resolutive condition, the right to commission also depends on this, unless one or both parties do not comply with the relevant condition in accordance handles/uses the scope.

14.5 When a brokerage obligation arises in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.3, DVS Capital is entitled to a part of the brokerage fee that can be reasonably determined.

14.6 If an agreement that has been concluded is not implemented, DVS Capital retains the right to full commission, unless the client demonstrates that the non-performance is the result of attributable shortcomings (non-performance) by DVS Capital.

14.7 In the event that DVS Capital is unable to determine the amount on which it must charge brokerage due to the actions of its client, it has the right to determine this amount according to its own appraisal and the brokerage fee calculated on this amount is due.
