Nothing on this website constitutes legal, compliance or professional advice for your specific situation. For that, please contact us directly.

You may not use this website in a way that damages it, disrupts its availability or infringes the rights of others.

4.Quotes and agreements

All offers and quotes are without obligation and valid for the period stated in the quote, or [30 days] if no period is stated. An agreement is formed when we confirm your acceptance in writing, or when we start delivering the agreed services with your approval. Obvious errors or mistakes in a quote do not bind us.

5.Delivery of services

• We deliver our services with the care and professionalism you may expect from a specialist in our field, on a best-efforts basis.
• Any deadlines we agree are targets, not strict deadlines, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.
• You will provide the information, access and cooperation reasonably needed for the work, in good time.
• Our advice and deliverables are based on the information and circumstances available at the time. Changes in law, regulation or your environment may affect their applicability over time.

6.Fees and payment

• Fees are as stated in the agreed quote, exclusive of VAT and any agreed expenses.
• Invoices are payable within [30 days] of the invoice date, unless agreed otherwise.
• In case of late payment, we may charge statutory interest and reasonable collection costs.

7.Confidentiality

We treat all information we receive from clients as confidential and use it only for the purpose of the engagement. This duty continues after the engagement ends. Given the nature of our work, we are happy to sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement before any substantive exchange.

8.Liability

Our liability is limited as follows:

• We are only liable for direct damage caused by an attributable failure in the performance of an agreement.
• Our total liability is limited to the amount paid by you for the services concerned, or to the amount paid out under our professional liability insurance, whichever is higher, up to a maximum of [€ amount].
• We are never liable for indirect damage, such as loss of profit, loss of data or reputational damage.
• Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

9.Third-party links and tools

Our website may link to third-party websites or use third-party tools, such as scheduling or video services. We are not responsible for the content, availability or data practices of those third parties.

10.Applicable law and disputes

These terms and all agreements with us are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be submitted to the competent court in [City, e.g. Amsterdam], unless mandatory law provides otherwise. We prefer to resolve disagreements in conversation first; if you have a concern, please raise it with us directly.

11.Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms from time to time. The most recent version is always published on this page. For ongoing engagements, the version in force at the time the agreement was concluded applies, unless you agree otherwise.
