The agreed price for the Agreement and/or Order is – unless expressly stated otherwise – exclusive of sales tax, duties, import duties and other taxes and/or duties.3.3.

If these prices change after the conclusion of the Agreement and / or Assignment, KeyPro has the right to pass on these changes to the Contracting Party. If the Contracting Party is a Natural Person, KeyPro has this right up to and including three (3) months after the conclusion of the Agreement or Assignment. The Contracting Party has the right to dissolve the Agreement and/or Assignment without being obliged to pay any compensation, if the pass-through of the changed prices leads to a price increase of more than 15% of the originally quoted or offered price.3.4. If, after receipt of the order confirmation or after the execution of the work has started, the Contracting Party wishes to make changes to the Order and / or Agreement for any reason whatsoever, KeyPro is only bound by the change after written agreement.

The term or period agreed between KeyPro and the Contracting Party is never a strict term for KeyPro. Delivery times are expected delivery times.

Article 5. Rent / Rental Furniture & Decorations

All costs associated with it (such as cleaning, repair and disposal) will have to be reimbursed by the Contracting Party.5.8. All repairs will be carried out by or on behalf of KeyPro. In all cases outside normal wear and tear, including incorrect or careless action, insufficient maintenance, fire, explosion or fault of the Contracting Party or Third Parties, the costs of repair shall be borne by the Contracting Party. The assessment of what is outside normal wear and tear belongs exclusively to KeyPro.5.9. The Contracting Party is deemed to have received the Furniture & Decorations in good condition, proper functioning, odour-free (e.g. smoke and food odours) and clean, unless the Contracting Party has indicated otherwise in writing within 8 days of delivery of the goods.

If the Contracting Party exercises its right of withdrawal, it will return Furniture & Decorations with all accessories supplied and in the original condition and packaging to KeyPro, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by KeyPro.
7.4. If the Contracting Party wishes to make use of its right of withdrawal, it is obliged to make this known to KeyPro within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the goods or agreed Related Services.

7.5. If, after the expiry of the periods referred to in paragraphs 2 and 4, the Contracting Party has not indicated that it wishes to make use of its right of withdrawal or has not returned the goods to KeyPro, the purchase and / or the agreed Related Services is a fact.

Reimbursement will be made via the same payment method used by the Contracting Party, unless the Contracting Party expressly authorizes another payment method.

Article 9. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

If and insofar as the activities under the Related Services involve KeyPro mediating in the conclusion of any contract with Third Parties, the Contracting Party realizes that KeyPro is dependent on Third Parties, and KeyPro is never liable for damage as a result of the non-conclusion of such a contract, nor will this provide a ground for a full or partial refund of the agreed price, or for total or partial dissolution or destruction of the Agreement and / or Assignment, or a part thereof.
10.4. The Contracting Party is obliged to provide KeyPro with all information that may reasonably be of interest in connection with the execution of the Assignment and/or Agreement. 10.5.

Article 12. Subcontracting

The contracting party is in default by the mere expiry of an (agreed) payment term and / or the mere fact of any violation, non-compliance or improper fulfillment of any agreed provision, without notice. From that moment on, the contracting party owes the statutory commercial interest ex art. 6:119a BW on the amount due up to the full payment thereof. If the Contracting Party is a natural person, the statutory interest rate applies. 14.3. If KeyPro has handed over its claim for collection, the Contracting Party shall in any case owe an amount of 15% of the net invoice amount, with a minimum of € 250, – in respect of extrajudicial collection costs, while if legal proceedings are subsequently necessary, the Contracting Party shall also be obliged to pay all legal costs, including expressly costs above the liquidation rate customary to be used by the Dutch court, reimburse costs due to the bankruptcy application and administration costs such as municipal fees, Chamber of Commerce costs, etc. KeyPro is entitled to charge the Contracting Party at any time for the actual extrajudicial costs, if higher than the fixed percentage.14.4.

In the absence of (timely) payment by the Contracting Party of one debt – for whatever reason – or payment term, all other debts or payment terms shall immediately become due and payable in full.

The Contracting Party is not entitled to suspend the payment of the amount owed by it on the grounds that KeyPro has not fulfilled any obligation under any Agreement and / or Assignment whatsoever towards him. An appeal by the Contracting Party to set-off is also excluded.
Article 15. Limitation and Exclusion of Liability15.1. If KeyPro has imputably failed to comply with the Agreement and/or Assignment, the resulting liability only relates to direct damage.

The contracting party undertakes to insure the goods delivered to KeyPro and to keep them insured against fire, explosion and water damage as well as against theft.15.7.

Article 16. Retention of title and right of retention16.1. Items delivered by KeyPro in the context of the Agreement and/or Assignment and intended for transfer of ownership to the Contracting Party remain the property of KeyPro until the Contracting Party has properly fulfilled all obligations under the Agreement(s) and/or Assignment concluded with KeyPro.

The Contracting Party is not entitled to pledge or otherwise encumber the property covered by the retention of title.16.3. The Contracting Party must always do everything that can reasonably be expected of it to secure the property rights of KeyPro. If Third Parties seize the goods delivered under retention of title or wish to establish or assert rights thereon, the Contracting Party is obliged to inform KeyPro immediately.

To the extent necessary, the Contracting Party undertakes in advance vis-à-vis KeyPro to cooperate with all that may (or may prove to be) necessary or desirable in that context.16.4. In the event that KeyPro wishes to exercise its property rights indicated in this article, the Contracting Party gives KeyPro and third parties to be designated by KeyPro in advance unconditional and irrevocable permission to enter and take back all those places where KeyPro’s property is located.16.5. Until the Contracting Party has paid KeyPro all amounts due in the context of the Agreement (and/or of previous similar agreements) and/or the Assignment, KeyPro may retain the relevant matters of the Contracting Party and recover its claim as a matter of priority, unless the Contracting Party provides sufficient security to pay these amounts.
