2.1 These General Terms and Conditions are applicable to all quotations and Agreements
concerning the provision of Services by Klantenvertellen to the Contracting Party, irrespective
of whether these were made or came into being verbally, in writing, electronically or in any
other form. By using the Services of Klantenvertellen, these General Terms and Conditions
become applicable, and the Contracting Party explicitly declares to agree with these General
Terms and Conditions, including the Processing Agreement, which is an integral part of these
General Terms and Conditions.
2.2 If one of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions is null and void or is voided,
the other provisions of these General Terms and Conditions will remain fully in effect.
2.3 Once these General Terms and Conditions have applied to a legal relationship between
Klantenvertellen and the Contracting Party, then the Contracting Party shall be deemed to
have agreed in advance with the applicability of the General Terms and Conditions with regard
to Agreements concluded thereafter and yet to be concluded.
2.4 Deviations from the General Terms and Conditions shall only apply if these have been
explicitly agreed in writing by Klantenvertellen and the Contracting Party. In the event of a

Article 3 Creation of the Agreement

3.1 All offers and quotations from Klantenvertellen are without obligation, unless expressly
agreed otherwise in writing.

the Contracting Party to receive compensation from Klantenvertellen arising from this.
Klantenvertellen is not obliged to specify its reasons in this regard.

of the Contracting Party in the agreed manner.

utmost to rectify the Faults as soon as possible in accordance with what is stipulated in the
Agreement.
4.4 Klantenvertellen is entitled to (temporarily) disable the Service (for example within the

4.5 Klantenvertellen is entitled to make use of services of third parties for the execution of the
Service.
4.6 If the performance of the Agreement entails extra work according to Klantenvertellen, or if
the Contracting Party or any third parties hired by the Contracting Party demand or cause
additional work (for example because the Contracting Party provides incomplete/incorrect
information), then Klantenvertellen is entitled to charge the Contracting Party for all additional
time and costs, and where relevant those of third parties as well.

Article 5 Cooperation by the Contracting Party

5.1 The Contracting Party will, in so far as is reasonably necessary, cooperate in the
performance of the Agreement. The Contracting Party will, among other things, provide all
necessary data and materials for the provision of the Services in a timely fashion, in the

specifications during the term of the Agreement. Klantenvertellen will inform the Contracting
Party of such an amendment via email.

and complete. It guarantees that the use of the aforementioned data and materials by
Klantenvertellen corresponds with the agreed objectives, does not infringe (intellectual
property) rights of third parties and is not otherwise unlawful or in conflict with applicable
legislation in the Netherlands. The Contracting Party also guarantees that its own use of the
Service corresponds with the Agreement, including these General Terms and Conditions,
and is not unlawful or in conflict with applicable legislation in the Netherlands. The
Contracting Party will refrain from any act that could damage the reputation of
Klantenvertellen and its Services. The Contracting Party fully indemnifies Klantenvertellen

that are provided by Klantenvertellen, or announced on the website of Klantenvertellen.

use and store these carefully. In the case of, or if there is suspicion of, misuse or theft of the
login data, the Contracting Party must immediately inform Klantenvertellen so that
Klantenvertellen can block access to the Service or take any other appropriate measures.
The Contracting Party is liable for the use of the Service via its login data.
5.6 The Contracting Party shall at all times provide an active e-mail address and undertakes to
inform Klantenvertellen in good time and in writing in the event of any changes. If invoices
are not paid (in a timely manner) by the Contracting Party because of an incorrect email
address or because the email containing the Klantenvertellen invoice has bounced, the
Contracting Party shall be liable for this. If the business or invoice address and/or telephone
number of the Contracting Party changes, the Contracting Party must notify Klantenvertellen
of such changes in writing as soon as possible prior to the implementation of the change.

so far as not explicitly specified otherwise, stated in euros, excluding VAT and other levies.
6.2 The fees may consist of one-off amounts due, annual or otherwise periodic amounts due,
and amounts that are dependent on the use of the Service. Klantenvertellen is entitled to
require that (part of) the fees owed, have been paid by the Contracting Party prior to the
provision of the Service.
6.3 Klantenvertellen is entitled to increase the fees during the term of the Agreement. This
increase will be announced to the Contracting Party by email. The Contracting Party is
entitled to terminate the Agreement within 14 days after this announcement if and in so far
as (i) the increase amounts to 10% or more of the total value of the Agreement and (ii) the
content of the Agreement does not change otherwise. Termination must be in writing and
enters into effect on the date on which the increase takes effect. This right to termination
does not apply if the increase amounts to less than 10% in the total value of the Agreement. 4
6.4 Klantenvertellen is entitled to require an additional advance payment from the Contracting
Party at all times.
6.5 Payment must be made in the manner indicated by Klantenvertellen. The payment must be
made prior to the delivery of the Service or in any case within 14 days after the invoice date,
unless another payment term has been explicitly agreed upon in writing. For the
determination of the amount of the invoice, the data derived from Klantenvertellen’s
administration are leading.
6.6 No appeal for suspension, settlement or deduction by the Contracting Party will be permitted.
6.7 If the Contracting Party has not made payment within the payment-term, the Contracting
Party shall be in default without further notice of default being required. From the date of

Klantenvertellen is also entitled to (temporarily) pause the Service until Klantenvertellen has
received full payment. See also article 10.

the desired security has been obtained.

the Contracting Party, even if a claim by Klantenvertellen and/or the Contracting Party is not
due and payable.

whatever nature, such as (but not limited to) the exclusion of guarantees regarding
entitlement to (property) rights, sufficient quality or suitability for a specific goal. In particular,
Klantenvertellen does not guarantee that:
– the Service will work uninterruptedly, will be free from viruses and defects and/or Faults,
or that defects or Faults can be rectified (in a timely fashion); 6
– the Contracting Party will generate specific sales, customers or traffic with the aid of the
Service;
– third parties will not use the systems required for the Service unlawfully.
9.2 Klantenvertellen is not liable for any damage incurred by the Contracting Party, unless this
damage is caused by intent or gross negligence of Klantenvertellen, in which case
Klantenvertellen will be liable for direct damages only.
9.3 The total liability of Klantenvertellen shall never amount to more than the total of the fee to
be paid by the Contracting Party for the Service in question. If there is an Agreement with a
term of more than one year, then the compensation will be set at the total amount of the fees
for the current year at the time that the defect occurs. The total compensation shall in no
case amount to more than € 2,000 per incident. Moreover, a series of incidents will be
considered to be one incident.
9.4 Direct damage shall exclusively be understood to mean:
– the costs that the Contracting Party has had to incur in all reasonableness to repair or
resolve the deficiency of Klantenvertellen in such a way that the performance of
Klantenvertellen complies with the Agreement;

longer, less the savings;

losses, loss of profits and loss of sales, is excluded.

that end by or on behalf of the Contracting Party within 6 (six) months after the time the
damage occurred.

Article 10 Suspension

10.1 Klantenvertellen is entitled to fully or partially suspend the performance of the Agreement if
the Contracting Party fails to fulfil its obligations under the Agreement, or if Klantenvertellen
suspects that the Contracting Party is acting in breach of Article 5, 7.3 or 7.4, or has grounds
to fear that the Contracting Party cannot fulfil its payment obligation, notwithstanding any
other right accruing to Klantenvertellen. During the period of suspension, the obligation to
pay the fees will continue to exist in full.
10.2 As soon as the Contracting Party complies with the Agreement and/or provides sufficient
security for the fulfilment of its obligations, Klantenvertellen will lift the suspension.
Klantenvertellen is entitled to charge a reasonable fee for the lifting of the suspension.

later than one (1) month before the end of the contract period.
11.2 Notwithstanding all other rights, the Parties are entitled to terminate the Agreement, in whole
or in part, without judicial intervention and with immediate effect, if the other party:
– has applied for or has been granted a moratorium;

11.3 Notwithstanding its other rights and without being liable for compensation, Klantenvertellen
is entitled to terminate the Agreement or dissolve it extrajudicially with immediate effect if the
Contracting Party:

– fails imputably to fulfil an obligation under the Agreement in another way and does not
rectify such a failure, after having been given notice of default in writing, within a
reasonable period.

payment obligation with regard to Services already provided by Klantenvertellen. Amounts
that Klantenvertellen has invoiced before the termination in connection with performance
already executed or supplied within the context of the Agreement will be immediately due at
the moment of termination.
11.5 Immediately after termination of the Agreement, the Contracting Party shall return everything
made available by Klantenvertellen to the Contracting Party within the context of the
Agreement and the Contracting Party will immediately cease using the Service.
11.6 The provisions that by their nature are intended to continue also after termination of the
Agreement will also remain in full force after such termination.

Article 12 Final provisions

12.1 Klantenvertellen is entitled to transfer the rights and obligations ensuing from the Agreement
(in full or in part) without prior (written) consent from the Contracting Party to subsidiaries or
group companies, to a third party (for example in the case of transfer of an undertaking) or
