YesContent has the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. You agree that the latest version of these terms and conditions will always apply to the assignment. Parties can record deviating agreements in writing.

Article 1 - General

These general terms and conditions apply to every offer, quote and order between Contractor and you (Client). Contractor will send you these general terms and conditions free of charge upon request. They are also available at https://www.yescontent.nl/.

Article 2 - Conclusion of the order

The order is concluded when the Contractor sends a written confirmation to the Client.

Article 3 - Offers and offers

  1. All offers and quotes from the Contractor are without obligation, unless otherwise agreed. An offer in a quote only applies to the specific underlying order (and not to any future orders).
  2. If the Client provides information to the Contractor, the Contractor may assume that these are correct and will base its offer on this.

Article 4 - Price

  1. Contractor may increase the price in the meantime if unforeseen and cost-increasing circumstances occur after the conclusion of the order. The client will be informed about this.
  2. The price does not include any expenses incurred by the Contractor and excludes VAT and other government levies.

Article 5 - Payment and collection costs

  1. The client must always pay within fourteen days of the invoice date. Contractor will invoice monthly.
  2. If the Client does not pay the invoice on time, he is in default by operation of law. The client then owes the statutory interest (if he is a consumer) or the statutory commercial interest (if he is a company) plus 1%. The interest on the due amount is calculated from the moment that the Client is in default until the moment of payment of the full amount due.
  3. The Contractor's entire claim against the Client is immediately due and payable if:
  1. Client exceeds a payment period;
  2. Client is bankrupt or in suspension of payment;
  3. Client (company) is dissolved or liquidated;
  4. Client (natural person) is placed under guardianship or dies.
  1. If the client does not pay on time, he is immediately in default. He then owes the Contractor all extrajudicial collection costs. With an invoice amount of up to €300, these costs will be €40. With a higher invoice amount, the maximum collection costs are as follows:
  1. 15% over the first €2500;
  2. 10% on the part that remains afterwards, up to €5000;
  3. 5% on the part that remains afterwards, up to €10,000;
  4. 1% on the part that remains afterwards, up to €200,000;
  5. 0.5% over the remaining part.

Article 6 - Implementation period

  1. If the Client owes an advance payment or has to provide information or materials, the period within which the Contractor must complete the work (the execution period) only starts when payment, information or materials have been received by the Contractor.
  2. If a period has been agreed or specified for the execution of the order, this is never a deadline. If a period is exceeded, the Client must first give Contractor notice of default in writing.
  3. The Client cannot terminate the order due to the Contractor exceeding the deadline. This does not apply if the execution is permanently impossible or if the Contractor also does not carry out the assignment within a period of time specified by him again in writing.

Article 7 - Third parties

Contractor may have work carried out (partly) by third parties. Articles 7:404 of the Dutch Civil Code (execution by a specific person), article 7:407 paragraph 2 (joint and several liability) and 7:409 of the Dutch Civil Code (death of a specific person) do not apply.

Article 8 - Execution of the order

  1. Contractor will carry out the assignment to the best of its knowledge and ability and in accordance with the requirements of good workmanship.
  2. The Client ensures that all information or materials necessary to carry out the order are provided in a timely manner.
  3. If the Client does not provide the necessary information or materials in time, the Contractor may suspend the execution of the order and invoice the additional costs resulting from the delay. The Contractor is not liable for damage that occurs because the Contractor relied on incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Client.
     
     

Article 9 - Change of order

  1. If during the assignment it appears that it is necessary to change or supplement the content of the assignment for proper execution, the parties will do so in mutual consultation.
  2. Contractor can increase or decrease the agreed price. The Contractor will (if possible) provide a quote in advance. A change in the order may also change the specified period of execution. Client accepts the possibility of changing the order, price and execution period.
  3. The Contractor may refuse a request to change the Client's order if this may have a qualitative or quantitative effect on the work.

Article 10 - Suspension, dissolution

  1. Contractor may suspend the assignment if, due to circumstances (that are outside his control or of which he was not aware), he is temporarily unable to fulfil his obligations.
  2. If compliance is permanently impossible, the parties can terminate the order for the part that has not yet been fulfilled.
  3. The Contractor may suspend or terminate fulfillment of the order if the Client does not fulfill its obligations, does not fully or not fulfil its obligations on time. The Client must then pay or indemnify the Contractor compensation.

Article 11 - Early termination

  1. If the Contractor cancels the order prematurely, the Contractor will transfer the work still to be performed to third parties, unless the termination is attributable to the Client. If the transfer of the work involves additional costs for the Contractor, the costs will be borne by the Client.
