The Corporate Finance department assesses the damage and keeps you updated on the handling process by email. Processing your claim does not mean VU Amsterdam is liable, but that VU Amsterdam will conduct an investigation. VU Amsterdam cannot be held liable for damages that result from intent or recklessness.

Damage to VU Amsterdam properties or to properties belonging to third parties

You may also accidentally cause damage to VU Amsterdam property or properties belonging to third parties in the performance of your duties. VU Amsterdam may be liable for the reimbursement of these damages. In that case you will only be liable in the event the damage caused was intentional or due to intentional recklessness. When VU Amsterdam is able to prove this and deems you responsible, VU Amsterdam will ask you to pay for all the damages.
