The Contractor shall moreover check that the vehicle is suitable for the execution of the Order and shall refuse to execute the Order in the event of unsuitability of the vehicle.
8. The Client undertakes to have and keep the vehicle in question available for the execution of the Order at the agreed time and at the agreed location. The Contractor shall endeavour to be at the agreed location in good time, whereby a reasonable period of time may be exceeded.

12. The expected result after the execution of the Order is based on a normally soiled car. Removal of special soil, such as tar, paint, rubber stripes, discoloured paint(e.g. corrosion by bird droppings), can consequently not be classified under the normally expected result.

3. The Contractor shall also be entitled to invoke force majeure if the circumstance preventing (further) performance occurs after the Contractor should have performed its obligation.
4. If the Contractor has already fulfilled part of its obligations when the force-majeure situation occurs, or is only able to fulfil part of its obligations, it will be entitled to invoice the part already delivered or to be delivered separately and the Client is obliged to pay this invoice as if it were a separate agreement.

1. The Contractor shall only be liable for direct loss suffered by the Client which is the direct and immediate consequence of a shortcoming attributable to The Contractor, on the understanding that only loss covered by the insurance taken out by the Contractor shall be eligible for compensation. The Contractor shall never be liable for damage resulting from an event directly or indirectly related to terrorism or malicious contamination.
2. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Contractor shall never be liable for any loss or damage exceeding the amount invoiced by the Contractor to the Client on the relevant Order.
3. Direct damage exclusively means: - the reasonable costs of determining the cause and extent of the damage, to the extent that the determination relates to damage within the meaning of these terms and conditions; - any reasonable costs incurred to ensure that the defective performance of the Contractor complies with the Order, unless such defective performance cannot be attributed to the Contractor; - reasonable costs incurred to prevent or limit damage, in so far as the Customer demonstrates that these costs have resulted in the limitation of direct damage as referred to in these general terms and conditions.
4. The Contractor shall never be liable for indirect damage, including consequential damage, loss of profit, lost savings and damage due to interruption in business operations.
5. The limitations of liability for direct damage included in these terms and conditions do not apply if the damage is due to intent or gross negligence on the part of the Contractor or its managing subordinates.

2. In the event that the Contractor dissolves the Order, the Client or its legal successor shall be obliged to pay the Contractor the full amount agreed upon for the execution of the Work, less the cost price of the materials and wages not used and not spent by the Contractor as a result of the non or incomplete execution of the Order, all of this in accordance with the Contractor's calculation, which shall be binding on the Client.
3. In the event of an attributable breach, any claim the Contractor has or will have against the Client will become immediately due and payable.

1. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, payments must be made within the period stated on the invoice and by transferring the amount due to the account number provided by the Contractor or in any other manner indicated by the Contractor and must be made without any discount or offsetting any amounts. Objections to the amount of the invoices do not suspend the payment obligation.
2. After expiry of the term referred to in paragraph 1, the Client shall be in default; from the due date, regardless of his payment obligation, he shall owe compensation for interest on the amount due and payable in the amount of the statutory interest increased by 2%, which compensation shall be due without notice of default.
3. In the event of liquidation, bankruptcy or suspension of payment on the part of the Client, the Client's obligations will be immediately due and payable.
4. If theClient is in default of payment, the Contractor shall be entitled to terminate or suspend the Order or activities immediately, without prior notice.
5. Payments made by the Client shall always be applied in the first place to settle all interest and costs owed and in the second place to invoices that have been outstanding for the longest time, even if the Client states that the payment is related to a later invoice.

If the Client is in default with regard to the fulfilment of one or more of its obligations, all reasonable costs for obtaining payment, both judicial and extrajudicial, will be for its account. In any case, the Client shall owe extrajudicial costs calculated at a minimum of 15% of the invoice amount with a minimum of € 250. If the Contractor demonstrates that it has incurred higher costs which were reasonably necessary, these will also qualify for reimbursement. The Client shall owe interest on the collection costs incurred.

Both parties are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information, both the information exchanged in this way and the information obtained during the execution of the work. Information is deemed to be confidential if it has been shared by one of the parties or if it results from the nature of the information. This includes information relating to the business of the parties as well as information relating to a third party and about which information was obtained in the course of the performance of the work.

The Contractor respects the Client's privacy and ensures that confidentiality will be observed with regard to all supplied personal information. The Contractor will store the Client's personal details, to which the Privacy Statement applies.

Contrary to the statutory rules for the competence of the civil court, any dispute between the Client and the Contractor shall, in the event that the Court has jurisdiction, be settled by the District Court in The Hague. However, the Contractor will still be entitled to summon the Client to appear before the competent court according to the law.

All agreements between the Contractor and the Client are governed by Dutch law.
