2. These terms and conditions (“General Terms”) apply to every offer, quotation and agreement between Inburgering Online and a Client to which Inburgering Online has declared the General Terms applicable, insofar as the parties have not deviated from the General Terms explicitly and in writing.

3. The applicability of other conditions of the Client is explicitly rejected.

4. If one or more provisions in the General Terms are at any time wholly or partially null and void or should be destroyed, the other provisions of the General Terms will remain fully applicable. Inburgering Online and the Client will then enter into consultation in order to agree on new provisions to replace the invalid or nullified provisions, whereby the purpose and scope of the original provisions are observed as much as possible.

5. If there is uncertainty about the interpretation of one or more provisions of the General Terms, the explanation must be "in the spirit" of these provisions.

6. If a situation arises between the parties that is not regulated in the General Terms, then this situation must be assessed in the spirit of the General Terms.

7. If Inburgering Online does not always require strict compliance with the General Terms, this does not mean that the provisions thereof do not apply, or that Inburgering Online would in any way lose the right to require strict compliance with the provisions of the General Terms in other cases.

8. These General Terms and all legal relationships to which Client is a party are exclusively governed by Dutch law. Notwithstanding the foregoing choice of law, a natural person using any of our services for a purpose which can be regarded as being outside their trade or profession can rely on the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where they have their habitual residence.

Article 2 Quotations and offers
1. All quotations and offers from Inburgering Online are non-binding and non-obligatory, unless a term for acceptance has been set in the quotation. If no acceptance period has been set, no rights can be derived in any way from the quotation or offer if the product to which the quotation or offer relates is no longer available in the meantime.

2. Inburgering Online cannot be held to its quotations or offers if the Client can reasonably understand that the quotations or offers, or any part thereof, contain an obvious mistake or clerical error.

3. If the acceptance (whether or not on minor points) deviates from the offer included in the quotation or offer, Inburgering Online is not bound by it. The agreement will then not be concluded in accordance with this deviating acceptance, unless Inburgering Online indicates otherwise.

4. Offers or quotations do not automatically apply to future orders.

Article 3 Duration of the contract; execution periods, risk transfer, execution and amendment of the agreement; price increase.
1. The agreement between Inburgering Online and the Client is entered into for an indefinite period of time, unless the nature of the agreement dictates otherwise or if the parties explicitly agree otherwise in writing.

2. If a term has been agreed or stated for the performance of certain activities or for the delivery of certain goods, this is never a strict deadline. If a term is exceeded, the Client must therefore give Inburgering Online written notice of default. Inburgering Online must be offered a reasonable period of time to still execute the agreement.

3. Inburgering Online will execute the agreement to the best of its knowledge and ability and in accordance with the requirements of good workmanship.

4. Inburgering Online is entitled to execute the agreement in different phases and to invoice the part thus executed separately.

6. The Client will ensure that all data, of which Inburgering Online indicates that it is necessary or of which the Client should reasonably understand that it is necessary for the execution of the agreement, is provided to Inburgering Online in a timely manner. If the information required for the execution of the agreement is not provided to Inburgering Online in time, Inburgering Online has the right to suspend the execution of the agreement and / or to charge the additional costs resulting from the delay to the Client according to the then usual rates. The execution period does not commence until after the Client has made the data available to Inburgering Online. Inburgering Online is not liable for damage, of whatever nature, because Inburgering Online is based on incorrect and / or incomplete information provided by the Client.

7. If during the execution of the agreement it appears that it is necessary to amend or supplement it for a proper execution, then the parties will proceed to adjust the agreement in good time and in mutual consultation. If the nature, scope or content of the agreement, whether or not at the request or direction of the Client, of the competent authorities, etc., is changed and the agreement is amended in terms of quality and / or quantity as a result, this may have consequences for what was originally agreed. As a result, the originally agreed amount can also be increased or decreased. Inburgering Online will provide a quotation of this in advance as much as possible. The originally stated term of execution may also be changed by an amendment to the agreement. The Client accepts the possibility of amending the agreement, including the change in price and term of execution.

8. If the agreement is amended, including an addition, then Inburgering Online is entitled to execute it only after approval has been given by the person authorized within Inburgering Online and the Client has agreed to the price and other conditions stated for the execution, including the then to be determined time when it will be executed. Not or not immediately executing the amended agreement does not constitute a default on the part of Inburgering Online and is no ground for the Client to terminate or cancel the agreement.

9. Without being in default, Inburgering Online can refuse a request to amend the agreement if this could have consequences in terms of quality and / or quantity, for example for the work to be performed or goods to be delivered in that context.
