Continuity solutions for the Cloud

The use of software through the cloud entails certain risks. One of those risks is that the supplier of the cloud software may go bankrupt. If that happens, it is uncertain whether access to the cloud based software and the data stored in the cloud remains possible and uninterrupted. In practice, multiple continuity solutions have been developed to protect the interests of cloud users. The question is though, whether – and under which conditions – such solutions are legally maintainable under Dutch law.
