4.2 TRC has the right to refuse Instructions without giving reasons.

6.1 Participation in and/or use of the Services (including participation in the #Recharge programme and downloading the App) is at the sole risk of Client and the individual Participants.

Clause 7 Rates
7.1 Instructions are carried out at the rates laid down in the Agreement.

7.2 TRC may pass on to Client any changes in factors that affect the rates of TRC.

7.3 The rates and any cost estimates are always quoted in euro and exclusive of VAT. All levies and taxes imposed or levied in respect of the Services provided by TRC will be borne by Client.

7.4 Additional costs, such as travel expenses, travel time and costs of accommodation will be stated separately.

Clause 8 Payment
8.1 Services are invoiced immediately upon delivery. If several Services are provided, then - unless otherwise agreed - the first delivery of these separate Services will be invoiced immediately.

8.2 Client must pay the invoices within thirty (30) days after the invoice date into an account designated by TRC, and do so without any discount, deduction, suspension or set-off.

8.3 Client must notify TRC immediately of any inaccuracies in provided or stated payment details.

8.4 Client will be in default by the mere expiry of a payment term. In that case, all claims of TRC against Client, on whatever grounds, are immediately due and payable.

8.5 If Client exceeds any payment term, TRC is entitled, without prejudice to its other rights, to charge Client default interest equal to the statutory commercial interest plus 2%. In addition, if Client does not pay after being demanded to do so, TRC is entitled to charge all (actual) collection costs incurred by it. These collection costs are fixed at 15 % of the amount due with a minimum of 250 euro, with the proviso that TRC is free to claim the costs actually incurred. Reminders or overviews of outstanding invoices expressed in principal amounts that have been sent to Client in the interim never constitute a forfeiture of rights in respect of default interest or costs, also not if the principal sum of an invoice has been paid and this sum no longer appears as such in reminders or overviews.

8.6 TRC always has the right, before (further) performance, to demand an advance payment or security from Client.

8.7 TRC reserves the right to change prices and rates. Changed prices and rates apply from the moment they are introduced.

9.1 Any complaints about the Services must be reported in writing by Client to TRC within eight (8) days after Client has discovered or reasonably should have discovered them. The report must contain as detailed as possible a description of the complaint, so as to enable TRC to respond adequately. After expiry of the above-mentioned term, complaints will no longer be taken into consideration and Client will have forfeited its rights in this respect. The term referred to in section 7:23(2) of the Dutch Civil Code is, in deviation from said section, two (2) months.

9.2 Client must give TRC the opportunity to investigate a complaint and to remedy it where necessary.

Clause 10 Cancellation and Amendment
10.1 Client is entitled to cancel the Agreement up to seven (7) working days before the performance of the Agreement starts, so up to seven (7) working days before the intake with Client has taken place. In this case, Client only owes the costs reasonably incurred by TRC up to that moment. If it cancels within seven (7) days before commencement of the performance of the Agreement, it owes 100% of the fee agreed in the Agreement.

10.2 If Client, after mutually agreeing to the Agreement of a personalised product/service, validly cancels the Agreement, Client owes the costs incurred by TRC up to the time of cancellation and the loss suffered by TRC as a result of the cancellation, but in any case: a) 25% of the budget if the cancellation takes place between four and six weeks before the first day of the project or process; b) 50% of the budget if the cancellation takes place between two and four weeks before the first day of the project and/or process; c) 75% of the budget if the cancellation takes place between seven days and two weeks before the first day of the project and/or process; d) 100% of the budget if the cancellation takes place within seven days before the first day of the project and/or process. These costs expressly include compensation for the hours that (employees of) TRC have worked on the project. The cancellation provision in this Clause does not affect TRC's right to full damages, including damage resulting from claims by third parties involved in the performance of the Instruction.

10.3 TRC is at all times entitled to cancel an Agreement/Instruction for whatever reason. In that case, Client is entitled to a refund of the amount paid by it to TRC.

Clause 11. Suspension and dissolution
11.1 TRC is authorised to suspend the fulfilment of the obligations or to dissolve the Agreement, if:Client does not or does not fully meet the obligations under the Agreement;after the Agreement has been concluded, circumstances that become known to TRC give TRC good reason to fear that Client will not fulfil its obligations. If there is good reason to fear that Client will only partially or not properly meet its obligations, suspension is only allowed insofar as the failure justifies such action;Client applies for a (temporary) suspension of payments and/or is granted a suspension of payments, applies for bankruptcy or is declared bankrupt, goes into liquidation, discontinues its business or if a post-judgment attachment is levied on a considerable part of the assets of Client.

11.2 TRC is also authorised to dissolve the Agreement or have it dissolved if circumstances arise that are such that performance of the Agreement is impossible or can no longer reasonably be demanded, or if other circumstances arise that are such that an unaltered continuation of the Agreement cannot reasonably be expected.

11.3 If the Agreement is dissolved, TRC's claims against Client become immediately due and payable. If TRC suspends the fulfilment of obligations, it will retain its claims under the law and agreement.

11.4 TRC always reserves the right to claim damages.

12.4 TRC is not liable for any damage that is caused by the fact that TRC, when performing the Agreement, worked on the basis of incorrect and/or incomplete information provided by or on behalf of Client/Participant.

12.5 Should TRC, without prejudice to the provisions in this Clause 12, for any reason whatsoever still be liable, then TRC's liability will be limited to direct damage up to the amount paid out in the specific case by the insurer or TRC. If, for whatever reason, the insurer does not pay out, any liability of TRC is limited to the amount TRC received for the work in connection with which the damage arose, up to a maximum of EUR 5,000 (five thousand euro).

12.6 Direct damage only includes:the reasonable costs incurred to determine the cause and extent of the damage, insofar as this determination relates to damage within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions;any reasonable costs incurred to have the flawed performance of TRC comply with the Agreement/Instruction, unless these cannot be attributed to TRC;reasonable costs incurred to prevent or limit damage, insofar as Client demonstrates that these costs have resulted in limiting direct damage as referred to in these Terms and Conditions.

Clause 15 Indemnity
15.1 To the extent permitted by law, Client will indemnify and hold TRC harmless from and against all liabilities, damage, losses and costs (including costs of settlement and reasonable attorneys' fees of TRC) of third parties (including Participants) arising out of or in connection with the Agreement, unless the cause of the damage can be attributed to TRC.

15.2 In the event that third parties (including Participants) call TRC to account in situations as described in subclause 15.1, Client will assist TRC both in and out of court and do everything that it may reasonably be expected to do.

Clause 16 Force majeure
16.1 In addition to the provisions of section 6:75 of the Dutch Civil Code, a failure by TRC to fulfil any obligation towards Client cannot be attributed to TRC in the event of a circumstance that is beyond the control of TRC, as a result of which the fulfilment of its obligations towards Client is fully or partially impeded or as a result of which the fulfilment of its obligations cannot reasonably be demanded from TRC. Such circumstances also include a breach of contract by suppliers or other third parties, power failures, computer viruses, pandemics, strikes and work interruptions.

16.2 If a situation as referred to in subclause 16.1 arises as a result of which TRC is unable to fulfil its obligations towards Client, these obligations will be suspended for as long as TRC is unable to fulfil them. If the situation referred to in the previous sentence has lasted thirty (30) calendar days, both parties have the right to dissolve the Agreement in writing in whole or in part. TRC will in that case not be obliged to pay any damage, also not if TRC gains any advantage as a result of the force majeure situation.

Clause 17 Non-solicitation
17.1 Client is, without the prior written consent of TCR, not permitted to enter into any agreements or perform any instructions, paid or unpaid, with TRC's partners, either directly or indirectly, without TRC's intervention, during the term of the Agreement/Instruction or within a period of 12 months after its expiry.

Clause 19 Partial ineffectiveness
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is or becomes non-binding, the other provisions will remain in full force. Parties undertake to replace the non-binding provision with a provision which is binding and which deviates as little as possible from the non-binding provision in terms of content and purport.
