A General
The following terms are used in these general terms and conditions:
1 Principal: the natural person or legal entity which gave the Contractor instructions to
perform Work.
2 Contractor: De Beer accountants & belastingadviseurs B.V. (De Beer accountants &
taks advisors) which concludes the Agreement and uses these general terms and conditions.
All agreements are established with the Contractor and are exclusively fulfilled
by the Contractor, to the exclusion of Sections 7:404 and 7:407 (2) of the Dutch Civil
Code. This also applies if it is the Principal’s explicit or implicit intention that the Work
is to be performed by a specific individual or specific individuals.
3 Work: all work for which the Contractor has received instructions or which the Contractor
performs on another account. The above applies in the broadest sense of the
word and in any event comprises the work as specified in the confirmation of the instructions.

made available to the Contractor, as well as all goods, including documents or data
media, which have been produced by the Contractor in the scope of fulfilling the instructions.
5 Agreement: every agreement between the Principal and the Contractor to perform
Work by the Contractor for the Principal in conformance with the stipulations specified
in the confirmation of the instructions.
B Applicability
1 These general terms and conditions apply to: all offers, quotations, instructions, legalrelationships
and agreements, under whatever name, in which the Contractor undertakes/
will undertake to perform Work for the Principal, as well as to all Work resulting
from the same for the Contractor.
2 Departures from and additions to these general terms and conditions are only valid if
these have been agreed upon explicitly and in writing, for example in a (written)
agreement or confirmation of the instructions.
3 In the event that these general terms and conditions and the confirmation of the instructions
contain conflicting conditions, the conditions included in the confirmation of
the instructions will apply.
4 The Contractor explicitly rejects any applicability of the Principal’s general terms and
conditions.
5 The underlying Instructions/Agreement together with these general terms and conditions
represent the full agreements between the Principal and the Contractor regarding
the Work for which the Agreement is concluded. It replaces all prior agreements made
between the parties or proposals made in this respect.
C Commencement and duration of the agreement
1 Each Agreement is only established and commences at the time the confirmation of the
instructions signed by the Principal has been returned to and signed by the Contractor.
The confirmation is based on the information which the Principal supplied to the Contractor
at the time of the confirmation. The confirmation is deemed to correctlyand fully
represent the Agreement.
2 The parties are free to prove the establishment of the Agreement by other means.
3 Each Agreement is entered into for an indefinite period of time, unless the nature, contents
or purpose of the instructions given show that the Agreement was entered into
for a fixed period of time.
4 Each Agreement is deemed to be tacitly renewed if the Contractor performs work for
the Principal, also in case the confirmation has not been signed and returned by the
Principal.
D Information of the Principal
1 The Principal is required to make all information and Documents which the Contractor
believes are necessary to correctly fulfil the Agreement available to the Contractor in
time, in the requested form and in the desired manner.
2 The Contractor is entitled to suspend the fulfilment of the Agreement until the Principal
has complied with the obligation mentioned in the previous paragraph.
3 The Principal is required to notify the Contractor at once regarding facts and circum
stances which may be relevant in connection with the fulfilment of the Agreement.
4 The Principal guarantees that the information and documents which are made available
to the Contractor by or on behalf of the Principal are correct, complete and reliable,
even if the information and documents originate from third parties.
5 The extra costs resulting from delays in the fulfilment of the Agreement and the extra
fee resulting from any failure to make the desired information available or to do so in
time or properly will be borne by the Principal.
6 If and to the extent that the Principal so requests, the documents made available will be
returned to the Principal, subject to the stipulations under O.
E Fulfilment of the Agreement
1 The Contractor determines the manner in which and by what person(s) the Agreement
will be fulfilled. If possible, the Contractor will take any directions from the Principal
regarding the fulfilment of the Agreement into account, provided these instructions are
sound and are given in a timely fashion.
2 The Contractor will perform the Work to the best of his ability and in a manner to be
expected of a careful professional. However, the Contractor cannot guarantee that any
envisaged result will be realised.
3 The Contractor is entitled to have a person or third party to be designated by the Contractor
perform specific Work without notification to and explicit consent from the Principal
if the Contractor believes that this is advisable.
4 The Contractor will fulfil the Agreement in accordance with the rules of conduct and the
professional rules that apply to him, which are part of the Agreement, and in accordance
with the statutory requirements. Upon request, a copy of the rules of conduct and the
professional rules applying to the Contractor will be sent to the Principal. The Principal
will respect the Contractor’s obligations and the obligations for parties working at or for
he Contractor, respectively, that arise from these rules of conduct and professional rules
and from the law.
5 In the event that Work is performed for the profession or business of the Principal during
the duration of the Agreement which is not covered by the Work to which the
Agreement relates, this Work will be deemed to have been performed based on separate
Agreements.
6 Any terms specified in the Agreement for performing the Work will be approximate
terms rather than deadlines. Thus, in the event that such a term is exceeded this does
not constitute a culpable failure on the part of the Contractor; consequently this is not
a ground for dissolving the Agreement. Terms set for completing the Work can only be
considered as deadlines if the Principal and the Contractor have explicitly agreed on this
in so many words or if this results from the nature of the work.
7 Unless stipulated otherwise in writing, the fulfilment of the Agreement is not specifically
aimed at detecting fraud. In the event that the work results in indications of fraud, the
Contractor will report this to the Principal. In so doing, the Contractor is required to ob
serve applicable statutory and other rules as well as the regulations and guidelines issued
by the various professional organisations.
F Confidentiality and exclusivity
1 The Contractor is required to maintain confidentiality with respect to third parties who
are not involved in the fulfilment of the Agreement. This confidentiality involves all confidential
information which the Principal made available to the Contractor and the results
obtained by processing this information. This confidentiality does not apply to the
extent that statutory or professional rules, including but not limited to the notification
duty resulting from the Dutch Act on Measures to Prevent Money Laundering and the
Financing of Terrorism and other national or international rules with a similar purpose,
impose a duty of disclosure on the Contractor, or in as far as the Principal has released
the Contractor from the confidentiality obligation. This stipulation does not prevent
confidential consultations between colleagues within the Contractor’s organisation to
the extent that the Contractor deems this necessary for careful fulfilment of the
Agreement or the due observance of statutory or professional rules.
2 The Contractor is entitled to use the figures obtained after processing for statistical or
comparative purposes, provided these figures cannot be traced back to individual Principals.
3 The Contractor is not entitled to use the information which the Principal makes available
to the Contractor for any purpose other than the purpose for which the information was
obtained, except as stipulated in paragraph 2, and in case the Contractor acts on its own
behalf, on behalf of an employee or a director of the Contractor in disciplinary, civil,
administrative or criminal proceedings in which these documents may be relevant. In
the event that the Contractor or an employee or a director of the Contractor is accused
of guilt or complicity in an offence or felony or a violation of professional rules, the Contractor
is entitled to disclose documents obtained from the Principal to the Judge, Tax
Authority or any disciplinary entity in case disclosure is necessary for the defence to be
conducted by the Contractor.
4 Except with the Contractor’s explicit prior written consent, the Principal is not permitted
to disclose the contents of recommendations, opinions or other (written) statements
from the Contractor or to make these contents available to third parties in any other
way, except to the extent that this results directly from the Agreement, is done to obtain
an expert opinion regarding the Contractor’s Work in question, the Principal is under a
statutory or professional duty of disclosure, or the Principal acts on his own behalf in
disciplinary, civil, administrative or criminal proceedings. Sustainable and committed
partners or if the Principal acts on its own behalf in disciplinary, civil, administrative or
criminal proceedings.
5 The Principal is required to enable the Contractor to comply with any relevant (inter)
national laws and regulations on independence. To this end, the Principal is required to
promptly, correctly and fully inform the Contractor of (any changes in) (eventual) controlling
relationships, legal structure, financial interests, participations and other forms
of cooperation entered into by its enterprise, organisation or group of which the Principal
is a part, all this in the broadest sense of the word.
G Intellectual property
1 The Contractor reserves all rights regarding products of the mind which he uses or used
in the scope of the fulfilment of the Agreement with the Principal, to the extent that
legal rights to those products may exist or are established.
2 The Principal is explicitly prohibited from providing those products, including but not
limited to computer programs, system designs, work methods, advice, (model) contracts
and other products of the mind, all this in the broadest sense of the word –
whether or not by using third parties- to third parties, or to reproduce, publish or exploit
those products.
3 The Principal is not permitted to provide (resources of) those products to third parties
other than for the purpose of obtaining an expert opinion regarding the Contractor’s
Work. In that case, the Principal will impose his obligations under this article upon the
third parties he calls in.
H Force majeure
1 In the event that the Contractor is unable to fulfil his obligations under the Agreementor
is unable to fulfil these obligations in time or properly as a result of a cause that cannot
be attributed to him, including but not limited to employee sickness, breakdowns in the
computer network and other interruptions of the normal conduct of business within his
enterprise, these obligations will be suspended until the time the Contractor can still
fulfil these obligations in the manner agreed upon.
2 In the event that the situation referred to in the first paragraph occurs, the Principal is
entitled to cancel all or part of the Agreement in writing, without this giving rise to any
right to damages.

I Fee
1 The Contractor is entitled to suspend the performance of his Work before the start ofthe
Work and in the interim until the Principal pays an advance for the work to be performed,
to be reasonably fixed by the Contractor, or has furnished security for this. Initially,
an advance paid by the Principal will be set off by an invoice.
2 The Contractor’s fee does not depend on the outcome of the Work performed.
3 The Contractor’s fee may comprise a predetermined amount per Agreement and/or
may be calculated based on rates per time unit worked by the Contractor and is payable
as and when the Contractor has performed Work for the Principal.
4 In the event that an amount fixed per Agreement is agreed upon, the Contractor is entitled
to charge a rate per time unit worked on top of this, if and to the extent that the
scope of the Work exceeds the scope of the Work provided for in the Agreement, in
which case the Principal must also pay this additional amount.
5 In the event that wages and/or prices change after the establishment of the Agreement
but before the instructions have been fully carried out, the Contractor is entitled to adjust
the rate agreed on accordingly, unless the Principal and the Contractor have made
other agreements in this regard.
6 The Contractor’s fee, if necessary plus disbursements and invoices from third parties
called in, including the value added tax due, if any, will be charged to the Principal on a
monthly, quarterly or annual basis or after completion of the Work.
J Payment
1 The Principal must pay the invoice amount within the terms agreed upon, but in no
event later than 14 days after the invoice date, in Euros, at the office of the Contractor
or by means of payments into a bank account to be designated by the Contractor and in
as far as the payment regards work, the Principal has no right to a discount or setoff.
2 In the event that the Principal fails to pay within the term mentioned in paragraph 1 or
within the term further agreed upon, the Principal will be legally in default and the Contractor
is entitled to charge the statutory (commercial) interest in accordance with art.
6:119a BW from the due date until the day of payment in full, without any further summons
or notice of default being required, all this without prejudice to the Contractor’s
further rights.
3 All costs arising as a result of collection of the claim in or out of court will be borne by
the Principal, including to the extent that these costs exceed the court order to pay the
costs of the proceedings. The extra judicial costs are fixed at a minimum of 15% of the
amount to be claimed, with a minimum of EUR 250.00.
4 In the event that the Contractor is of the opinion that the Principal’s financial position
or payment record gives rise to this, the Contractor is entitled to demand that the Principal
furnish (additional) security in a form to be specified by the Contractor. In the event
that the Principal fails to furnish the requested security, the Contractor is entitled -without
prejudice to any other rights he may have- to immediately suspend the further
fulfilment of the Agreement and everything that the Principal owes the Contractor on
any account what so ever will be due and payable at once.
5 In the event of instructions issued jointly, the Principals are jointly and severally liable
for the payment of the invoice amount to the extent that the Work has been performed
for the collective Principals.
K Complaints
1 Complaints regarding the work performed and/or the invoice amount must be notified
to the Contractor in writing within 30 days after the documents or information about
which the Principal complains have been sent or within 30 days after the defect is discovered,
in the event that the Principal demonstrates that he reasonably was unable to
discover the defect earlier.
2 Complaints as referred to in the first paragraph do not suspend the Principal’s payment
obligation, except to the extent that the Contractor indicates that he believes the complaint
is valid.
3 In the event of a valid complaint, the Contractor can either adjust the fee charged, rectify
or redo the rejected Work at no cost or not (or no longer) perform all or part of the
instructions in exchange for restitution in proportion to the fee which the Principal already
paid.
4 In the event that the complaint is filed too late, all rights of the Principal in connection
with the complaint become null and void.
L Liability and indemnification
1 The Contractor is only liable to the Principal for damage, which directly results from a
(related series of) culpable failure(s) in fulfilling the Agreement. This liability is limited
to the amount paid for the event in question according to the Contractor’s liability insurer,
plus the excess to be paid by the Contractor under the insurance policy, if any. If the
liability insurer does not pay for any reason whatsoever, the Contractor’s liability is limited
to the amount of the fee charged for fulfilling the Agreement. In the event that the
Agreement is a continuing performance contract with a term of more than one year, the
amount mentioned above will be set at three times the amount of the fee charged to
the Principal in the twelve months preceding the occurrence of the damage. In no event
will the total compensation of the damage by virtue of this article amount to more than
EUR 300,000 per event, in which a series of related events is deemed to be a single
event, unless -in view of the scope of the instructions or the risks related to the instructions-
the parties at the time the Agreement is entered into feel that there is reason to
deviate from this maximum.
2 The Contractor is not liable for:
– damage occurring at the Principal or third parties which is the result of the provision
of incorrect or incomplete information, or information not provided within the time
limit set by the Principal to the Contractor or which is the result of some other act or
omission on the part of the Principal;
– damage occurring at the Principal or third parties which is the result of acts or omissions
on the part of agents called in by the Contractor (not including employees of the
Contractor), also if these work for an organisation which is affiliated with the Contractor;
– consequential damage or loss of profits occurring at the Principal, including but not
limited to interruptions in the orderly conduct of events in the Principal’s business.
3 The Contractor will at all times be entitled to remedy or limit the Principal’s damage by
rectifying or correcting the defective product if and to the extent possible.
4 The Contractor is not liable for any damage caused to the Principal due to the use of
electronic means of communication, including but not limited to damage caused by failures
or delays in the delivery of electronic communication, interception or manipulation
of electronic communication by third parties or caused by software or equipment
used for the transmission, receipt or processing of electronic communication, the transmission
of viruses and the failure in the (proper) performance of the telecommunication
network or other means necessary for electronic communication, except to the extent
that the damage is the result of wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the
Contractor. The data extracts from the computer systems of the Contractor shall be conclusive
proof of (the contents of) the electronic communication sent by the Contractor
until the Principal has furnished proof to the contrary.
5 The Principal indemnifies the Contractor against all claims from third parties, including
shareholders, directors, supervisory directors and employees of the Principal, as well as
affiliated legal entities and enterprises and others involved in the Principal’s organisation
and directly or indirectly related to the fulfilment of the Agreement. The Principal
specifically indemnifies the Contractor against claims from third parties on account of
damaged caused because the Principal provided incorrect or incomplete information to
the Contractor, unless the Principal demonstrates that the damage is not related to any
culpable act or omission on his part, or has been caused by wilful misconduct or gross
negligence on the part of the Contractor. The above stipulations do not apply to instructions
to audit the financial statements as referred to in Section 393 of Book 2 of the
Dutch Civil Code.
6 The Principal indemnifies the Contractor against all possible claims from third parties in
the event that the Contractor is forced by law and/or his professional rules to return the
instructions and/or is forced to render his assistance to government agencies which are
entitled to receive information -both when asked and at their own initiative- which the
Contractor received from the Principal or third parties in the course of fulfilling the instructions.
M Expiry period
Unless otherwise stipulated in these general terms and conditions, rights of action and
other powers of the Principal on any account whatsoever towards the Contractor in
connection with the performance of Work by the Contractor will in any case become null
and void one year after the time at which the Principal learned or reasonably could have
learned of the existence of these rights and powers. This term does not regard the
possibility to file a complaint with the appropriate body (bodies) for complaint handling
and/or the Raad voor Geschillen (Dispute Review Board).
N Cancellation
1 The Principal and the Contractor can terminate the Agreement at any time with immediate
effect by giving notice. In the event that the Agreement ends before the instructions
are completed, the stipulations of L.2 apply.
2 The other party must be informed of the cancellation in writing.
3 If and to the extent that the Contractor terminates the Agreement by giving notice, he
must inform the Principal of his reasons for the cancellation and do everything the circumstances
demand in the interest of the Principal.
O Right of suspension / Right of retention
The Contractor is entitled to suspend fulfilment of all his obligations, including the surrender
of documents or other matters to the Principal or third parties, until all payable claims
against the Principal are paid in full. The Contractor may only refuse to surrender Documents
after making a careful consideration of interests.
P Additional terms
During the performance of the services and within one year after the termination of
services neither party is allowed to directly or indirectly engage personnel of the other
party, to negotiate with these personnel about employment, or to induce personnel to
terminate their employment.
Q Applicable law and jurisdiction clause
1 All Agreements between the Principal and the Contractor to which these general terms
and conditions apply are governed by Dutch law.
2 All disputes in connection with Agreements between the Principal and the Contractor
to which these general terms and conditions apply will be settled by the competent
court in the district where the Contractor is domiciled.
3 Contrary to the stipulation in paragraph 2, the Principal and the Contractor may opt for
another dispute resolution manner.
4 The Contractor has a complaints procedure in place. In addition to that it is possible to
anonymously report any complaints by using the whistleblowing procedure. Information
about these procedures may be obtained from the Directors or the Compliance

intended to also apply after the termination of the Agreement, shall continue to remain
in force and shall continue to be binding on both parties.
