3.1 All Offers from the Contractor will be without commitment, unless they specify a term for

exceeded, if and as soon as that is foreseeable, while setting a new indicative term for

6.5 Any contract variations resulting from amendments or additions to the Assignment will be

payable by or will benefit the Principal.

suitable for the agreed purpose of the Assignment, the Contractor may dissolve the Agreement prematurely at any stage without owing any damages.

10.1 The Contractor will not be liable for:

  1. errors or defects in the material and/or the information and any and all things made available by the Principal;

    g. copyright infringements caused by changes and adjustment made by the Principal to the commissioned or purchased artwork, without consent of the Contractor.

  1. reasonable costs incurred in establishing the cause and the scope of the loss, insofar as the

establishing relates to damage as referred to in these General Conditions;

comply with the Agreement; and

that those costs have resulted in limitation of the direct loss as referred to in these General

Contractor’s statutory right to claim compensation of the loss incurred.

12.6 Either of the parties may dissolve the agreement in full or in part in writing, without any notice of default, with immediate effect, if the other party – whether or not provisionally – is granted a suspension of payment, if a petition in bankruptcy is filed in respect of the other party or if the other party’s business is liquidated or terminated otherwise than for a restart or a merger of businesses. The Contractor will in no event be required on the grounds of dissolution pursuant to this paragraph to refund any moneys already received or to pay any damages.

12.7 If the Principal at the moment of the dissolution as referred to in Article 12.6 has already

received Products and/or Work in the performance of the Agreement, those Products and/or

that Work and the related payment obligation will not be the subject of reversal, unless the

13.4 The Contractor will have the right at the start of the Assignment to demand full or partial

payment in advance of the total agreed amount. In that case the Contractor will not

commence the performance of the Assignment until the Principal has made that down

payment. If the Principal of its obligations dissolves the Agreement on the grounds of nonfulfillment under the Agreement, or on the grounds of circumstances for which the Principal is to blame (or otherwise to blame), the down payments made by the Principal will not be repaid.

13.5 In the event of payment by bank or giro, the date of crediting of the Contractor’s bank or giro account will be regarded as the date of payment.

incurred in connection with late payment, will be payable by the Principal. The extrajudicial costs are set at at least 15% of the invoice amount, subject to a minimum of € 500, without prejudice to the Contractor’s right to claim the actual costs if those costs are higher.

rescheduling arrangement under the Wet Schuldsanering Natuurlijke Personen (Natural Persons Debt Rescheduling Act) or a foreign equivalent of that Act, attachment or suspension of payment on the part of the Principal, the Contractor’s claims against the Principal will fall due immediately.

13.8 If the Principal’s financial position deteriorates after the conclusion of the Agreement but

before the supply of the Products and/or the performance of the Work by the Contractor, and the Contractor can reasonably foresee that such deterioration will jeopardize the fulfillment of the obligations by the Principal, the Contractor will have the right to suspend the supply and/or the Work and/or to demand an amendment to the payment conditions.

13.9 Payments will first be deducted from the costs, then from the interest due and finally from

the principal and the interest then remaining.
