User acknowledges that by terminating the Agreement, it will permanently lose access to any Service Plans active at the time of termination. User will not have a right to refunds or restitutions in the event a (paid) Service Plan is applicable to the Agreement at the moment of termination, unless the Agreement was terminated as described in Article 20.3 in which case Learntail will provide User with a refund in proportion to the part of the Service Plan that User was not able to use as result of the termination.
20.7. In the event of dissolution ('ontbinding') of the Agreement, applicability of section 6:271 et seq. of the Dutch Civil Code is excluded, and Learntail shall not be obliged to repay amounts paid by User, unless User is a Consumer.
20.8. The provisions of the Agreement which, by their nature and content, are intended, expressly or impliedly, to continue to have effect notwithstanding the completion, rescission, termination or expiration of the Agreement or Service Plan shall survive and continue to bind the Parties, and shall in any event include Article 16, Article 17, Article 18 and Article 20.
Article 21. Exit
21.1. Learntail shall, in the event of a legally valid termination of the Agreement, and in accordance with the Agreement, at the request of the User, which must have been submitted before or at the time of termination, make his best effort to cooperate in order to enable the transfer of User Data to another service provider. The foregoing is at all times limited to the possibilities as offered by Learntail and only applies if User has fulfilled all its obligations under the Agreement.
21.2. For the cooperation referred to in the previous paragraph, Learntail shall apply its then current hourly rate for User. All costs of the transfer to another service provider shall be borne by User.
