Dutch term or phrase: niet te verlangen

This is the same question as before, but since I've been told to post separate terms separately, there you go. This is more focuse on "niet te verlangen". Does anybody understand and would be so kind as to explain to my little dumb self why this "schadevergoeding" is "niet te verlangen"?

The bit between * * isn't very clear to me, can anybody help?

In geval van niet-betaling (...), wordt het totaalbedrag (...) *bij wijze van niet te verlangen forfaitaire schadevergoeding*, vermeerd met 20%.

Thank you

niet te verlagen, i.e. 'fixed, non-negotiable'

Explanation:
er wordt nooit echt uitgekeken naar een zelf te betalen schadevergoeding.
"niet te verlangen" is a glitch
"niet te verlagen (of te verhogen)" is zowat hetzelfde als forfaitair

1 hr confidence:

undesirable

Explanation:
verlangen means 'to wish' or ' to desire', and 'niet' means 'not', while 'te' is redundant. Hence 'niet te verlangen' means 'undesirable' in this context. One can only assume that one of the contractees does not want to pay
compensation of more than 20% of the agreed amount in the event of non-payment.

Thank you for your contribution, but I very much doubt it can mean that.

non-reimbursable

Explanation:
I'm no expert in this, so I'm throwing this out as a suggestion for the peers who are. Howver, it fits the context IMHO and IM experience.
