All agreements are established with the Contractor and are exclusively<br \/>fulfilled by the Contractor, to the exclusion of Sections 7:404 and 7:407 (2) of<br \/>the Dutch Civil Code. This also applies if it is the Principal\u2019s explicit or implicit intention<br \/>that the Work is to be performed by a specific individual or specific individuals.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> Work: all work for which the Contractor has received instructions or which the Contractor<br \/>performs on another account. The above applies in the broadest sense of the word<br \/>and in any event comprises the work as specified in the confirmation of the instructions.<br \/><strong>4<\/strong> Documents: all goods, including documents or data media, which the Principal has<br \/>made available to the Contractor, as well as all goods, including documents or data<br \/>media, which have been produced by the Contractor in the scope of fulfilling the instructions.<br \/><strong>5<\/strong> Agreement: every agreement between the Principal and the Contractor to perform<br \/>Work by the Contractor for the Principal in conformance with the stipulations specified<br \/>in the confirmation of the instructions.<br \/><strong>B Applicability<\/strong><br \/><strong>1<\/strong> These general terms and conditions apply to: all offers, quotations, instructions, legal<br \/>relationships and agreements, under whatever name, in which the Contractor undertakes\/<br \/>will undertake to perform Work for the Principal, as well as to all Work resulting<br \/>from the same for the Contractor.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> Departures from and additions to these general terms and conditions are only valid if<br \/>these have been agreed upon explicitly and in writing, for example in a (written)<br \/>agreement or confirmation of the instructions.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> In the event that these general terms and conditions and the confirmation of the<br \/>instructions contain conflicting conditions, the conditions included in the confirmation<br \/>of the instructions will apply.<br \/><strong>4<\/strong> The Contractor explicitly rejects any applicability of the Principal\u2019s general terms and<br \/>conditions.<br \/><strong>5<\/strong> The underlying Instructions\/Agreement together with these general terms and conditions<br \/>represent the full agreements between the Principal and the Contractor regarding<br \/>the Work for which the Agreement is concluded.

The confirmation is deemed to correctly<br \/>and fully represent the Agreement.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> The parties are free to prove the establishment of the Agreement by other means.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> Each Agreement is entered into for an indefinite period of time, unless the nature,<br \/>contents or purpose of the instructions given show that the Agreement was entered<br \/>into for a fixed period of time.<br \/><strong>4<\/strong> Each Agreement is deemed to be tacitly renewed if the Contractor performs work for<br \/>the Principal, also in case the confirmation has not been signed and returned by the<br \/>Principal.<br \/><strong>D Information of the Principal<\/strong><br \/><strong>1<\/strong> The Principal is required to make all information and Documents which the Contractor<br \/>believes are necessary to correctly fulfil the Agreement available to the Contractor in<br \/>time, in the requested form and in the desired manner.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> The Contractor is entitled to suspend the fulfilment of the Agreement until the Principal<br \/>has complied with the obligation mentioned in the previous paragraph.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> The Principal is required to notify the Contractor at once regarding facts and circum<br \/>stances which may be relevant in connection with the fulfilment of the Agreement.<br \/><strong>4<\/strong> The Principal guarantees that the information and documents which are made available<br \/>to the Contractor by or on behalf of the Principal are correct, complete and reliable,<br \/>even if the information and documents originate from third parties.<br \/><strong>5<\/strong> The extra costs resulting from delays in the fulfilment of the Agreement and the extra<br \/>fee resulting from any failure to make the desired information available or to do so in<br \/>time or properly will be borne by the Principal.<br \/><strong>6<\/strong> If and to the extent that the Principal so requests, the documents made available will<br \/>be returned to the Principal, subject to the stipulations under N.<br \/><strong>E Fulfilment of the Agreement<\/strong><br \/><strong>1<\/strong> The Contractor determines the manner in which and by what person(s) the Agreement<br \/>will be fulfilled. If possible, the Contractor will take any directions from the Principal<br \/>regarding the fulfilment of the Agreement into account, provided these instructions are<br \/>sound and are given in a timely fashion.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> The Contractor will perform the Work to the best of his ability and in a manner to be<br \/>expected of a careful professional. However, the Contractor cannot guarantee that any<br \/>envisaged result will be realised.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> The Contractor is entitled to have a person or third party to be designated by the<br \/>Contractor perform specific Work without notification to and explicit consent from the<br \/>Principal if the Contractor believes that this is advisable.<br \/><strong>4<\/strong> The Contractor will fulfil the Agreement in accordance with the rules of conduct and<br \/>the professional rules that apply to him, which are part of the Agreement, and in accordance<br \/>with the statutory requirements. Upon request, a copy of the rules of conduct<br \/>and the professional rules applying to the Contractor will be sent to the Principal.<br \/>The Principal will respect the Contractor\u2019s obligations and the obligations for parties<br \/>working at or for the Contractor, respectively, that arise from these rules of conduct<br \/>and professional rules and from the law.<br \/><strong>5<\/strong> In the event that Work is performed for the profession or business of the Principal<br \/>during the duration of the Agreement which is not covered by the Work to which the<br \/>Agreement relates, this Work will be deemed to have been performed based on separate<br \/>Agreements.<br \/><strong>6<\/strong> Any terms specified in the Agreement for performing the Work will be approximate<br \/>terms rather than deadlines. Thus, in the event that such a term is exceeded this does<br \/>not constitute a culpable failure on the part of the Contractor; consequently this is not<br \/>a ground for dissolving the Agreement. Terms set for completing the Work can only be<br \/>considered as deadlines if the Principal and the Contractor have explicitly agreed on<br \/>this in so many words or if this results from the nature of the work.<br \/><strong>7<\/strong> Unless stipulated otherwise in writing, the fulfilment of the Agreement is not specifically<br \/>aimed at detecting fraud. In the event that the work results in indications of fraud,<br \/>the Contractor will report this to the Principal. In so doing, the Contractor is required to<br \/>ob serve applicable statutory and other rules as well as the regulations and guidelines<br \/>issued by the various professional organisations.<br \/><strong>F Confidentiality and exclusivity<\/strong><br \/><strong>1<\/strong> The Contractor is required to maintain confidentiality with respect to third parties who<br \/>are not involved in the fulfilment of the Agreement. This confidentiality involves all<br \/>confidential information which the Principal made available to the Contractor and the<br \/>results obtained by processing this information. This confidentiality does not apply to<br \/>the extent that statutory or professional rules, including but not limited to the notification<br \/>duty resulting from the Dutch Act on Measures to Prevent Money Laundering and<br \/>the Financing of Terrorism and other national or international rules with a similar purpose,<br \/>impose a duty of disclosure on the Contractor, or in as far as the Principal has<br \/>released the Contractor from the confidentiality obligation. This stipulation does not<br \/>prevent confidential consultations between colleagues within the Contractor\u2019s organisation<br \/>to the extent that the Contractor deems this necessary for careful fulfilment of<br \/>the Agreement or the due observance of statutory or professional rules.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> The Contractor is entitled to use the figures obtained after processing for statistical or<br \/>comparative purposes, provided these figures cannot be traced back to individual Principals.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> The Contractor is not entitled to use the information which the Principal makes available<br \/>to the Contractor for any purpose other than the purpose for which the information<br \/>was obtained, except as stipulated in paragraph 2, and in case the Contractor acts<br \/>on its own behalf, on behalf of an employee or a director of the Contractor in disciplinary,<br \/>civil, administrative or criminal proceedings in which these documents may be<br \/>relevant. In the event that the Contractor or an employee or a director of the Contractor<br \/>is accused of guilt or complicity in an offence or felony or a violation of professional<br \/>rules, the Contractor is entitled to disclose documents obtained from the Principal to<br \/>the Judge, Tax Authority or any disciplinary entity in case disclosure is necessary for the<br \/>defence to be conducted by the Contractor.<br \/><strong>4<\/strong> Except with the Contractor\u2019s explicit prior written consent, the Principal is not permitted<br \/>to disclose the contents of recommendations, opinions or other (written) statements<br \/>from the Contractor or to make these contents available to third parties in any<br \/>other way, except to the extent that this results directly from the Agreement, is done<br \/>to obtain an expert opinion regarding the Contractor\u2019s Work in question, the Principal<br \/>is under a statutory or professional duty of disclosure, or the Principal acts on his own<br \/>behalf in disciplinary, civil, administrative or criminal proceedings. Sustainable and<br \/>committed partners or if the Principal acts on its own behalf in disciplinary, civil, administrative<br \/>or criminal proceedings.<br \/><strong>5<\/strong> The Principal is required to enable the Contractor to comply with any relevant (inter)<br \/>national laws and regulations on independence. To this end, the Principal is required<br \/>to promptly, correctly and fully inform the Contractor of (any changes in) (eventual)<br \/>controlling relationships, legal structure, financial interests, participations and<br \/>other forms of cooperation entered into by its enterprise, organisation or group of<br \/>which the Principal is a part, all this in the broadest sense of the word.<br \/><strong>G Intellectual property<\/strong><br \/><strong>1<\/strong> The Contractor reserves all rights regarding products of the mind which he uses or used<br \/>in the scope of the fulfilment of the Agreement with the Principal, to the extent that<br \/>legal rights to those products may exist or are established.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> The Principal is explicitly prohibited from providing those products, including but not<br \/>limited to computer programs, system designs, work methods, advice, (model) contracts<br \/>and other products of the mind, all this in the broadest sense of the word &#8211;<br \/>whether or not by using third parties- to third parties, or to reproduce, publish or exploit<br \/>those products.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> The Principal is not permitted to provide (resources of) those products to third parties<br \/>other than for the purpose of obtaining an expert opinion regarding the Contractor\u2019s<br \/>Work. In that case, the Principal will impose his obligations under this article upon the<br \/>third parties he calls in.<br \/><strong>H Force majeure<\/strong><br \/><strong>1<\/strong> In the event that the Contractor is unable to fulfil his obligations under the Agreement<br \/>or is unable to fulfil these obligations in time or properly as a result of a cause that<br \/>cannot be attributed to him, including but not limited to employee sickness, break-<br \/>downs in the computer network and other interruptions of the normal conduct of<br \/>business within his enterprise, these obligations will be suspended until the time the<br \/>Contractor can still fulfil these obligations in the manner agreed upon.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> In the event that the situation referred to in the first paragraph occurs, the Principal is<br \/>entitled to cancel all or part of the Agreement in writing, without this giving rise to any<br \/>right to damages.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-063d005\" data-id=\"063d005\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b9e5dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b9e5dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>I Fee<\/strong><br \/><strong>1<\/strong> The Contractor is entitled to suspend the performance of his Work before the start of<br \/>the Work and in the interim until the Principal pays an advance for the work to be performed,<br \/>to be reasonably fixed by the Contractor, or has furnished security for this.<br \/>Initially, an advance paid by the Principal will be set off by an invoice.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> The Contractor\u2019s fee does not depend on the outcome of the Work performed.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> The Contractor\u2019s fee may comprise a predetermined amount per Agreement and\/or<br \/>may be calculated based on rates per time unit worked by the Contractor and is payable<br \/>as and when the Contractor has performed Work for the Principal.<br \/><strong>4<\/strong> In the event that an amount fixed per Agreement is agreed upon, the Contractor is<br \/>entitled to charge a rate per time unit worked on top of this, if and to the extent that<br \/>the scope of the Work exceeds the scope of the Work provided for in the Agreement, in<br \/>which case the Principal must also pay this additional amount.<br \/><strong>5<\/strong> In the event that wages and\/or prices change after the establishment of the Agreement<br \/>but before the instructions have been fully carried out, the Contractor is entitled to<br \/>adjust the rate agreed on accordingly, unless the Principal and the Contractor have<br \/>made other agreements in this regard.<br \/><strong>6<\/strong> The Contractor\u2019s fee, if necessary plus disbursements and invoices from third parties<br \/>called in, including the value added tax due, if any, will be charged to the Principal on a<br \/>monthly, quarterly or annual basis or after completion of the Work.<br \/><strong>J Payment<\/strong><br \/><strong>1<\/strong> The Principal must pay the invoice amount within the terms agreed upon, but in no<br \/>event later than 14 days after the invoice date, in Euros, at the office of the Contractor<br \/>or by means of payments into a bank account to be designated by the Contractor and<br \/>in as far as the payment regards work, the Principal has no right to a discount or setoff.<br \/><strong>2<\/strong> In the event that the Principal fails to pay within the term mentioned in paragraph 1 or<br \/>within the term further agreed upon, the Principal will be legally in default and the<br \/>Contractor is entitled to charge the statutory (commercial) interest in accordance with<br \/>art. 6:119a BW from the due date until the day of payment in full, without any further<br \/>summons or notice of default being required, all this without prejudice to the Contractor\u2019s<br \/>further rights.<br \/><strong>3<\/strong> All costs arising as a result of collection of the claim in or out of court will be borne by<br \/>the Principal, including to the extent that these costs exceed the court order to pay the<br \/>costs of the proceedings.

The Principal<br \/>specifically indemnifies the Contractor against claims from third parties on account of<br \/>damaged caused because the Principal provided incorrect or incomplete information to<br \/>the Contractor, unless the Principal demonstrates that the damage is not related to any<br \/>culpable act or omission on his part, or has been caused by wilful misconduct or gross<br \/>negligence on the part of the Contractor. The above stipulations do not apply to instructions<br \/>to audit the financial statements as referred to in Section 393 of Book 2 of<br \/>the Dutch Civil Code.<br \/><strong>6<\/strong> The Principal indemnifies the Contractor against all possible claims from third parties in<br \/>the event that the Contractor is forced by law and\/or his professional rules to return<br \/>the instructions and\/or is forced to render his assistance to government agencies which<br \/>are entitled to receive information -both when asked and at their own initiative- which<br \/>the Contractor received from the Principal or third parties in the course of fulfilling the<br \/>instructions.<br \/><strong>M Expiry period<\/strong><br \/>Unless otherwise stipulated in these general terms and conditions, rights of action and<br \/>other powers of the Principal on any account whatsoever towards the Contractor in<br \/>connection with the performance of Work by the Contractor will in any case become null<br \/>and void one year after the time at which the Principal learned or reasonably could have<br \/>learned of the existence of these rights and powers.
