article 3 Contract duration; execution times, transfer of risk, implementation and amendment of the agreement; price increase

The agreement between the User and the Client is entered into for an indefinite period of time, unless the nature of the agreement dictates otherwise or if the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing.

The Client accepts the possibility of changing the agreement, including the change in price and term of execution.

article 6 Payment and collection costs

Payment must always be made within 30 days of the invoice date, unless there is another written agreement, in a manner to be indicated by the User in the currency in which the invoice is made, unless otherwise stated by the User in writing. User is entitled to invoice periodically.
If the Client remains in default in the timely payment of an invoice, then the Client is legally in default.

User can, without being in default, refuse an offer of payment if the Client designates a different order for the allocation of the payment. The User can refuse full payment of the principal sum if the vacant and current interest and collection costs are not also paid.
The Client is never entitled to set off the amount due to the User. Objections against the height of an invoice do not suspend the payment obligation. The Client who does not appeal to Section 6.5.3 (Articles 231 to 247 of Book 6 BW) is also not entitled to suspend the payment of an invoice for any other reason.
If the Client is in default in the (timely) fulfillment of his obligations, then all reasonable costs incurred in obtaining payment out of court are at the expense of the Client. The default of the Principal who is a natural person, who does not act in the exercise of a profession or business (private client), takes effect after he has been summoned to pay within fourteen days after the day of reminder and payment is not forthcoming. The reminder also indicates the consequences of the absence of payment. The extrajudicial costs are calculated on the basis of what is customary in the Dutch collection practice. However, if the User has incurred higher costs for collection that were reasonably necessary and the Client is not a natural person who does not act in the exercise of a profession or business (business client), the actual costs incurred are eligible for reimbursement. Any legal and execution costs incurred will also be recovered from the Client. The Client also owes interest on the collection costs due.

Furthermore, the Client undertakes to insure and keep insured the goods delivered under retention of title against fire, explosion and water damage as well as against theft and to make the policy of this insurance available to the User on first request.

User is never liable for indirect damage, including consequential damage, lost profit, missed savings and damage due to business stagnation.
The limitations of liability included in this article do not apply if the damage is due to intent or gross negligence of the User or his managerial subordinates.

article 9 Indemnity

The Client indemnifies the User against any claims from third parties that suffer damage in connection with the performance of the agreement and whose cause is attributable to the User other than the User. If the User should be held liable by third parties for this reason, then the Client is obliged to assist the User both outside and in law and to do everything that may be expected of him in that case without delay. Should the Client fail to take adequate measures, the User is entitled, without notice of default, to proceed to this himself. All costs and damage arising on the part of the User and third parties as a result are fully for the account and risk of the Client.

article 10 Intellectual property

The User reserves the rights and powers that accrue to him on the basis of the Copyright Act and other intellectual laws and regulations.

article 12 Location and change conditions

Explanation of some provisions from the model conditions ‘services’:

Article 1: General

The Love Alchemists

Article 5 paragraph 2: Force majeure

If the force majeure situation lasts longer than two months.

This is an example. The term may be longer or shorter depending on the agreement. If you change this term, it is important that you include a realistic term that matches the nature and activities of your company.

Article 6, paragraphs 1 and 2: Payment and collection

Payment term of 14 days.

This term can be longer or shorter. This depends on the industry of your company. However, the term may not be so short that the contracting party can (almost) not pay the due within this period.

The absentee rate of 1 percent per month can also be set higher or lower. However, the interest you calculate may not be excessively high.

Before you can request collection costs, your customer must be in ‘default’. If your customer is a private client, you must send a reminder. If your customer is a company, it is not necessary, for example, if you have agreed otherwise in an agreement. On 1 July 2012, the Decree on compensation for extrajudicial collection costs of 27 March 2012 came into effect for transactions with private individuals. This decree applies to claims in which the debtor (only) is in default on or after 1 July 2012 and the claimed principal sum is based on:

– contract from payment of money or

– obligation to compensate for damage, laid down in a settlement agreement or

– obligation to pay a sum of money converted into an obligation to pay compensation in the sense of article 6:87 of the Dutch Civil Code. The scheme applies to private individuals. You may therefore deviate from this with agreements with companies and natural persons who act in the exercise of a profession or business. It may well be that small companies are protected by the reflex action that individuals have, if a different regulation is included in general terms and conditions.

If no deviating agreements have been made about the collection costs, then the legal regulations regarding the collection costs apply to claims in which the debtor has (only) been in default on or after 1 July 2012.

Principal sum up to and including Applicable percentage Maximum

€ 2.500, – 15% on the principal € 375, –

(min. € 40, -)

€ 5.000, – € 375, – + 10% over (principal minus € 2.500, -) € 625, –

€ 10,000, – € 625, – + 5% over (principal minus € 5,000, – € 875, –

€ 200,000, – € 875, – + 1% over (principal minus € 10,000) € 2,775, –

Above € 200,000, – € 2,775, – + 0.5% over (principal minus € 200,000) € 6,775.-

Article 8 paragraph 3: Liability

Limitation of liability to twice the invoice value.

This term is an example. The level of liability can be determined depending on the situation. In addition, several factors may be of importance.

For example, a far-reaching limitation will be less easily permissible if the risk is perfectly insurable.

A limitation of liability will on the contrary be permissible if the ratio between the price of the products to be delivered (or the price of the service provided by the user) is small, while the damage that may result from this is so great that it is not ratio. In this case, it is reasonable to limit liability.

It is therefore always important that you make a good assessment of all circumstances that play a role. In doing so, you must take into account that a complete exclusion of liability is generally not acceptable.

In this connection, it is advisable to also take note of the explanation of the general terms and conditions for delivery to consumers. Particularly if you also supply goods to consumers or to parties that can indirectly appeal to the black and the gray list.

If you have taken out liability insurance or wish to enter into such insurance agreement, then it is advisable to submit the contents of your general terms and conditions to your insurance company.

Article 10

The use of this article is at your own discretion and depends on whether intellectual property rights play a role.

Article 12 paragraph 1: location conditions

The Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam

Nb.

It may be that the explanation is not complete for your specific case. It is also possible that you have to adapt the other provisions to your company and activities. It therefore always remains important to carefully assess all provisions for their correctness, completeness, desirability and necessity for your company. Although the greatest care and attention has been devoted to the content and composition of the general terms and conditions, the Chamber of Commerce does not accept any liability arising from the consultation and use thereof.
