2.2. The applicability of any general terms and conditions of the Client is expressly rejected.
2.3. If one or more provisions of these Terms and Conditions are (partially) declared invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the other part of these Terms and Conditions, provided that the invalid or unenforceable provision(s) shall be replaced by a provision that approaches as closely as possible what was intended with the original provision.

Article 3 - Agreement
3.1. All offers, quotations and statements made by Techads are entirely non-binding. Techads is entitled to withdraw its offer up to 10 days after acceptance of that offer. If Techads makes use of these suspensive conditions, it shall be deemed that no Agreement has been concluded.

The Client is responsible for any delay and additional costs that may result from possible internal obstacles.
4.5. The Client shall do (and refrain from doing) all that is reasonably necessary to enable Techads to execute the Assignment and shall provide all necessary cooperation. In this context, the Client is obliged, among other things but not limited to, to provide all data and documents that Techads deems necessary to be able to execute the Assignment in a timely and in the manner requested by Techads, and to promptly inform Techads of facts and circumstances that may be relevant to the execution of the Assignment.
4.6. If the Client acts in violation of Article 4.5 of these general terms and conditions, Techads - without prejudice to its other rights, including the right to compensation for damage suffered - is entitled to charge the Client for additional costs and activities resulting from the incorrect, untimely and/or incomplete provision of data and documents required by Techads, and to terminate the Agreement without being liable for damages.
4.7. The Client is responsible for the accuracy, completeness, reliability and legality of the data and documents provided by him, even if they originate from third parties. The Client indemnifies Techads against all damages that it suffers and against all claims by third parties in the event that the data and/or documents provided are incorrect, incomplete, unreliable and/or unlawful.

4.9. For the determination of the results achieved by Techads in the execution of the Assignment, the reports, data extracts, information and data from the (computer) systems, software and administration used by Techads are decisive.

6.1. Payments must be made within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date, unless a different payment term has been agreed upon in writing. In the event that payment in installments or terms has been agreed upon, the installment payments must be paid before the first day of each term.
6.2. (An appeal to) suspension, offsetting, and/or reduction of any payment obligation by the Client is excluded.
6.3. If the Client does not pay the invoice within the payment term, the Client is automatically in default without any further notice of default being required.

6.7. All obligations, including future payment obligations (including, but not limited to, remaining installment payments) arising from the Agreement, of the Client are immediately due and payable if the Client fails to comply with any payment obligation.
6.8. Payments are allocated to the oldest outstanding invoice(s), regardless of the allocation to the invoice or obligation that the debtor designates at the time of payment. All payments made by the Client are first credited against the costs, then against the due interest, and finally against the principal and the ongoing interest.
6.9. In the event of a joint commission, all Clients are jointly and severally liable for payment of the invoices, as well as any costs and interest due.
6.10. Upon first request from Techads, the Client is obliged to make (partial) advance payment and/or provide security, failing which Techads is entitled to suspend the performance of its obligations, without prejudice to its other rights.

7.3. Without prejudice to what is provided elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions and the law, Techads is authorized to extrajudicially dissolve the Agreement in whole or in part in writing, without judicial intervention and without any (further) notice of default being required, at the moment that the Client:

This is a section from the terms and conditions of a contract between Techads and their client, outlining various provisions related to force majeure, intellectual property, data protection, confidentiality, and dispute resolution.

Section 10.1 defines force majeure as any circumstance as referred to in article 6:75 of the Dutch Civil Code, including but not limited to any circumstance independent of the will of the parties or unforeseeable circumstance that makes it unreasonable to expect the other party to fulfill their obligations under the agreement. This includes illness of Techads' personnel and force majeure events involving third parties involved in the execution of the assignment.

Section 10.2 provides Techads with the right to suspend the execution of the agreement if Techads determines that the force majeure event is temporary and continues until the circumstances causing the force majeure no longer exist.

Section 10.3 grants Techads the right to invoke force majeure if the circumstance that prevents (further) performance occurs after Techads could have fulfilled its obligations.

Section 10.4 states that Techads is entitled to payment for the services performed in connection with the agreement before the force majeure event occurred.

Section 11 outlines the intellectual property rights related to the work performed by Techads. All possible (intellectual) property rights arising from the work performed by Techads belong to Techads. The client is not allowed to reproduce, disclose, exploit, or provide to third parties any advice or other outcomes of the work performed by Techads without Techads' prior written consent. The client is responsible for any claims from third parties related to infringement of intellectual property rights.

Section 12 establishes protective provisions related to data protection and confidentiality. The client agrees to Techads processing their personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Both parties agree to keep confidential any information related to the execution of the assignment and each other, subject to exceptions outlined in the section. Techads is authorized to disclose the identity and nature of the client and the nature of the work performed for the client in marketing communications unless otherwise agreed in writing. The client is prohibited from approaching or enticing Techads' personnel or third parties engaged by Techads to work for them or for third parties for one year after the end of the agreement. If the client violates this provision, they will be liable to pay a penalty to Techads without any prior notice, as described in the section.

Section 13 establishes the applicable law and dispute resolution. The agreement is governed by Dutch law, and any disputes arising between the parties related to the formation, validity, or performance of the agreement will be exclusively settled by the Dutch courts, with the first instance being the court in The Hague unless mandatory law provides otherwise. The parties may also decide to settle any dispute through mediation or binding advice. These terms and conditions have been deposited with the Chamber of Commerce under registration number 86071009.
