3. If the Client does not meet the obligations mentioned in this article in a timely manner, Hues Dienstverlening is entitled to suspend the execution of the Agreement until the moment that the Client has met its obligations.

Article 10 - Additional work and changes
1. Minor deviations from the agreed Activities will, if deemed necessary by Hues Dienstverlening or desired by the Client, in principle be carried out free of charge, unless the scope of the Agreement needs to be changed in such a way or for a longer period. In such a case, the Client is obliged to pay for these additional activities at the agreed rate. Hues Dienstverlening is not obliged to comply with this request and may require the Client to conclude a separate Agreement for this purpose and/or to refer to an authorised third party.
2. If the Client changes the content or scope of the Agreement, including the agreed Activities, the parties will consult. The agreed changes must be recorded in writing. If Hues Dienstverlening deems it necessary, the original order confirmation will be adjusted.

Article 11 - Prices and payment
1. All prices are based on the Activities agreed upon by the parties and are in principle exclusive of sales tax (VAT), unless otherwise agreed.
2. Hues Dienstverlening performs its services in accordance with the agreed hourly rate. The hourly rate is in principle inclusive of costs for auxiliary and cleaning agents, unless explicitly agreed otherwise. If it has been agreed that the hourly rate is the price excluding the costs for auxiliary and cleaning agents, the costs of the items actually used will be charged separately to the Client. The Client must fully reimburse these costs, which are calculated on the basis of a subsequent calculation. The costs of the work are invoiced monthly.

Sufficient security shall in any case be understood to mean a continuous bank guarantee, payable upon first request by Hues Dienstverlening, provided by a first-class Dutch bank, for 110% of the amounts owed by the Client (100% of these amounts with a surcharge of 10% for interest).
8. Price changes that are caused beyond the control of Hues Dienstverlening as a result of changes in legislation and regulations or changes in the applicable collective labor agreement will be passed on to the Client.

The Client, being a Consumer, will first receive a written reminder with a term of 14 days after the date of the reminder to still meet the payment obligation, including a statement of the extrajudicial costs if the Consumer does not meet its obligations within that term, before it is in default.
2. From the date that the Client is in default, Hues Dienstverlening will be entitled, without further notice of default, to the statutory commercial interest from the first day of default until full payment, and compensation for the extrajudicial costs in accordance with Article 6:96 of the Dutch Civil Code, to be calculated according to the scale from the decision on compensation for extrajudicial collection costs of 1 July 2012.
3. If Hues Dienstverlening has incurred more or higher costs that are reasonably necessary, these costs will be eligible for reimbursement. The full legal and execution costs incurred will also be borne by the Client.
Article 13 - Retention of title Products
1. When Hues Dienstverlening sells Products to the Client, Hues Dienstverlening reserves the ownership of these Products until these Products have been paid for and all other claims referred to in Article 3:92 paragraph 2 of the Dutch Civil Code that Hues Dienstverlening has or will obtain against the Client have been paid.
2. Due to the retention of title, the Client is obliged to store the Products with due care and as recognizable property of the Contractor.
3. As long as the ownership of the Products has not been transferred to the Client, it may not pledge the Products or grant any other right to them to a third party. The Client is also not permitted to resell the Products unless this is customary in the normal course of its business.
4. If the Client fails to fulfil its obligation or if Hues Dienstverlening has good reason to fear that the Client will fail to do so, also in the cases referred to in article 6:80 BW, Hues Dienstverlening is entitled, without prejudice to its other rights, to demand immediate delivery of the Products subject to retention of title. To this end, the Client declares that it will provide Hues Dienstverlening with all relevant data from the administration at the first request of Hues Dienstverlening at any desired time. The Client also declares that it will grant Hues Dienstverlening access to its business premises and business premises at the first request in order to have Hues Dienstverlening verify whether the Products are still present in the Client's stock in order to take them with it or transfer ownership of them and establish a first silent lien on them.
5. After delivery of the Products, the Client will be credited for the market value of the Products at that time, which can in no case be higher than the original price, reduced by the costs incurred for the return and other damages of Hues Dienstverlening. 6. If the provisions of this article, in particular the delivery obligation, are not complied with or not complied with in a timely manner by the Client, the Client will forfeit to Hues Dienstverlening, without judicial intervention being required, an immediately due fine of € 10,000 per violation and € 500 for each day that the violation continues.

Article 14 - Privacy, data processing and security
If Hues Dienstverlening comes into contact with (personal) data or other confidential data of the Client during the performance of the Activities, it will handle this with care and will only use this in accordance with the applicable standards and to the extent necessary for the performance of the Agreement. Hues Dienstverlening also imposes this obligation on the third party it engages, but it is not responsible for the actions of these third parties.
Article 15 - Suspension and termination

- If, due to delay on the part of the Client, Hues Dienstverlening can no longer be required to fulfil the Agreement under the originally agreed conditions, it is entitled to terminate the Agreement.

The Client is obliged to pay these costs within the specified period, unless otherwise agreed.
Article 16 - Force Majeure
1. Hues Dienstverlening is not liable if it is unable to fulfil its obligations under the Agreement as a result of a force majeure situation.

4. If, in the event of force majeure on the part of the Client, Hues Dienstverlening is unable to perform the agreed Activities in the agreed manner, at the agreed times and on the agreed dates for a period longer than 5 months, the parties will consult with each other and the Agreement will be adjusted as necessary.
6. If the Client itself takes measures as a result of which Hues Dienstverlening cannot (temporarily) carry out the work, or cannot carry out the work in full, or as a result of which the work is not meaningful, this does not entitle the Client to a reduction in the agreed total price for that period.
Article 17 - Limitation of liability
1. If any result set out in the Agreement is not achieved, a shortcoming of Hues Dienstverlening will only be deemed to exist if Hues Dienstverlening has expressly promised this result when accepting the Agreement.
2. In the event of an attributable shortcoming on the part of Hues Dienstverlening, Hues Dienstverlening shall only be obliged to pay any compensation if the Client has given notice of default to Hues Dienstverlening within 14 days of discovering the shortcoming and Hues Dienstverlening has subsequently failed to remedy this shortcoming within a reasonable period. The notice of default must be submitted in writing and contain such a precise description/substantiation of the shortcoming that Hues Dienstverlening is able to respond adequately.
3. If the performance of Services by Hues Dienstverlening results in liability on the part of Hues Dienstverlening, such liability is limited to the total amount invoiced under the Agreement, but only with respect to direct damage suffered by the Client, unless the damage is the result of intent or recklessness bordering on intent on the part of Hues Dienstverlening. Direct damage is understood to mean: reasonable costs incurred to limit or prevent direct damage, the determination of the cause of damage, the direct damage, the liability and the method of repair.
4. Hues Dienstverlening expressly excludes all liability for consequential damage.

7. If the Client wishes Hues Dienstverlening to lock the Client's location, Hues Dienstverlening will use the keys and/or codes provided by the Client. Hues Dienstverlening is not liable for any damage resulting from the loss of the keys provided. The parties will sign a supplementary key agreement and attach it to the quotation as an appendix.
8. If Hues Dienstverlening must switch the alarm on or off at the request of the Client before and after carrying out the Activities, this does not form part of the obligations of Hues Dienstverlening as arising from the Agreement. Switching an alarm or security system on and off therefore does not form part of the Agreement. If switching on or off is unexpectedly not carried out or not carried out completely correctly, Hues Dienstverlening shall never be liable for this.
9. Hues Dienstverlening is not responsible for the correct and complete transfer of the content of and e-mail sent by/on behalf of Hues Dienstverlening, nor for its timely receipt.
