Key Principle

A contractual 'no set-off' clause in a sophisticated commercial agreement governed by Dutch law will be enforced on a summary judgment application against a guarantor, the very high threshold for disapplying such a term under Dutch reasonableness-and-fairness standards (DCC art 6:248(2)) not being realistically arguable between professional commercial parties.
