Terms and Conditions
If you ("Client") collaborate with Den Uijl Ploeg & Partners B.V. ("DUPP", "we", "us" or "our"), the following terms and conditions apply.
Applicability
1. These general terms and conditions apply to every Assignment given by a Client to us and to all other services provided by us. Any other arrangements with us are only valid if we have expressly agreed to them in writing (including by email).
2. For our services, you enter into one or more Agreements with us. If a provision in the Agreement conflicts with these general terms and conditions, the provision in the Agreement shall prevail. In case of a conflict between the Dutch text and translations thereof, the Dutch text shall always prevail.
3. If any provision of these general terms and conditions or an Agreement is found to be void or is annulled, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In that case, we shall jointly agree on one or more new provisions that reflect the original intent of the Agreement and these general terms and conditions as closely as possible.
Acceptance of the Assignment
4. The Assignment shall be deemed accepted once you agree to the Assignment Confirmation or if we can reasonably interpret your behavior as Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Agreement includes, without limitation, our presentation of a Candidate or your request for such a presentation.
5. Only the description of the Assignment as stated in the Assignment Confirmation is binding for us.
6. Articles 7:404 (Assignment with a view to a specific person), 7:407 paragraph 2 (joint and several liability of multiple contractors), and 7:409 (death and Assignment with a view to a specific person) of the Dutch Civil Code do not apply to the legal relationship between you and us.
Obligations
7. You are obliged to inform us within 10 days of the terms of the employment contract or relationship upon reaching an Agreement with a Candidate.
8. In case of breach of article 7, you shall owe an immediately due and payable penalty of EUR 10,000 per violation and EUR 1,000 for each day the violation continues, without prejudice to our right to exercise any other legal and/or agreed rights, including but not limited to the right to claim (additional) damages (whether or not in combination with the aforementioned penalty).
9. DUPP’s obligations are always best-efforts obligations.
Placement Fee
10. Upon execution of the Agreement, you shall be liable to us for the placement fee specified in the Assignment Confirmation.
11. In case of cancellation, amendment or withdrawal of the Vacancy/Assignment, you also owe a fee as agreed in the Assignment Confirmation.
Payment
12. Our payment term is 14 (fourteen) calendar days. This term is a strict deadline.
13. In case of late payment, you owe statutory commercial interest as per article 6:119a of the Dutch Civil Code on the outstanding amount from the first day after the payment term has expired, without any further notice of default being required. You are also liable for full reimbursement of all extrajudicial and judicial (collection) costs, including but not limited to the costs for lawyers, bailiffs, and collection agencies. We are entitled to charge 15% of the outstanding amount, with a minimum of EUR 40. This does not affect our right to claim the actual costs if they exceed 15% of the outstanding amount.
14. You are not entitled to set-off or suspend any payments or amounts owed, for any reason.
15. Our records provide full evidence of due payments and execution of the Agreement, subject to evidence to the contrary provided by you.
16. All amounts mentioned by us are exclusive of VAT and in euros.
Liability
17. Our (total) liability is limited to compensation of damages up to a maximum of the invoice amount of our Agreement. In no case shall the compensation exceed the amount paid out by our liability insurance.
18. We are never liable for errors by third parties (including Candidates), even if they have been engaged or recommended by us.
19. Liability for indirect damages, including consequential damages, lost profits, missed savings and business interruption damages, is also excluded.
20. Please contact us as soon as possible if you are dissatisfied. Without prejudice to article 6:89 of the Dutch Civil Code (duty to complain), the right to claim damages from us expires one year after the event that directly or indirectly caused the damage and for which we are liable.
21. The exclusions and limitations in this article do not apply in case of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part.
Force Majeure
22. If something occurs beyond our control, such as strikes, staff illness, epidemics, pandemics, (government) measures due to epidemics and/or pandemics, power outages or other technical disruptions, you cannot claim damages. If the force majeure situation continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate the Agreement. In that case, compensation for damages is not possible. However, we do retain the right to be paid for any costs and investments made.
Privacy
23. We will only process personal data to the extent necessary for the execution of the Agreement and/or as specified in our Privacy Policy.
24. You shall retain full responsibility for any personal data you provide to us. Where necessary, a Data Processing Agreement may be concluded with us.
Exclusivity
25. It is not permitted, during the term of the Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter, to employ or otherwise engage, directly or indirectly, any personnel introduced by DUPP without our express written (including email) permission.
Intellectual Property Rights
26. You give us permission to use your (trade and/or brand) name and logo, and other visual materials, in the context of promotional activities, including on our website.
Continuing Obligations
27. The provisions of these general terms and the Agreement intended to remain in force after termination shall remain fully effective.
Changes or Additions
28. We reserve the right to unilaterally amend these terms. In that case, we will inform you in a timely manner of any changes or additions.
