Party: where applicable: Provider or Client;
Site: any internet website(s), online (commercial) platform(s), or (mobile) application(s) managed by the Provider, including www.hestiva.nl and the Hestiva app;
Access data: the username, password, and possibly the registration number with which the Client gains access to a restricted and secured area on a Site;
Terms: these general terms and any additional terms of the Provider that apply to any Assignment or Agreement and/or to the use of the Services or a Site;
A.2.2 Where in these Terms, an Agreement, or any other applicable general terms of the Provider the terms "such as", "including", "among others" or similar wording are used, this does not exclude other matters.
A.2.3 The text and definitions of the Dutch version of these Terms are decisive for the interpretation of the Terms and Agreements. In the event of any conflict between the Dutch version and another language version, the Dutch version prevails. All (legal) terms and concepts used in these Terms and in Agreements are interpreted according to Dutch law.
A.3 Applicability and amendment
A.3.1 These Terms apply to all use of the Services and Sites, to all Assignments, to offers and quotations from the Provider, and to all Agreements. These Terms also apply to all actions, omissions included, of third parties engaged by the Provider.
A.3.2 In the event of deviations or contradictions between provisions of an Agreement and provisions of these Terms, the provisions in the Agreement take precedence.
A.3.3 The Client accepts the applicability of these Terms to the exclusion of any general terms used by the Client. If both these and other terms apply to an Agreement, the provisions of these Terms prevail in the event of any conflict, unless it concerns other specific general terms of the Provider, in which case those specific terms take precedence.
A.3.4 If these Terms have been applicable to any legal relationship between the Parties, they automatically apply to all later legal relationships.
A.3.5 The Provider reserves the right to unilaterally amend these Terms and any other applicable general terms. Amendments take effect thirty days after notification to the Client, such as by publishing the new Terms on the Provider's Sites. Furthermore, amendments to and/or additions to these Terms or an Agreement are only binding if expressly and in writing agreed upon and apply only to the specific Agreement for which they have been agreed upon.
A.4 Offer and Agreement
A.4.1 All offers and quotations from the Provider are non-binding. Acceptance thereof is only possible within the specified period. Offers and quotations do not automatically apply to reorders or subsequent services. Obvious mistakes or errors in an offer from the Provider do not bind the Provider.
A.4.2 If the Client makes changes or additions to an offer, quotation, expression, document, form, proposal, or Agreement from the Provider, the offer from the Provider is void, unless such a change is expressly and in writing confirmed by the Provider.
A.4.3 The content of Assignments, orders, statements, and information from the Client as received by the Provider is considered full proof, as long as no counter-evidence is provided to the satisfaction of the Provider, which does not require further substantiation. Input errors and other mistakes made during the Assignment or order are at the expense and risk of the Client. The Provider reserves the right to refuse Assignments or orders without stating reasons.
A.5 Execution of services
A.5.1 The Provider will perform Services and Agreements to the best of its knowledge and ability and in accordance with the standards of good craftsmanship.
A.5.2 If a term or delivery time has been set for the fulfillment of an obligation by the Provider, that term or delivery time is only indicative and never a fatal term. In the event of exceeding a term, the Client must first formally notify the Provider in writing and set a reasonable term for the Provider to still fulfill. Exceeding any term or delivery time does not give the Client the right to compensation, dissolution of the Agreement, or suspension or non-fulfillment of any obligation arising from the relevant Agreement or any other related agreement.
A.5.3 The Provider has the right to have certain work performed by third parties, without notifying the Client. The applicability of Articles 7:404, 7:407 paragraph 2, and 7:409 of the Dutch Civil Code is expressly excluded.
A.5.4 If work is performed by the Provider or third parties engaged by the Provider at the location of the Client or a location designated by the Client, the Client shall provide at no charge the facilities reasonably desired by the relevant employees.
A.5.5 The Provider is entitled to execute an Assignment or Agreement in different phases, and execution or delivery in parts is permitted. The Provider is entitled to invoice the executed or delivered part separately.
A.5.6 The Client is responsible for advisors, agents, or assistants engaged by the Client and ensures that they comply with what is stipulated in an Agreement or the Terms. The Client is not allowed to circumvent or frustrate provisions in an Agreement or the Terms by engaging third parties.
A.5.7 The Client ensures that all data that the Provider indicates are necessary or desired, or that the Client can understand are necessary or desired for the execution of the Services or an Agreement, are provided to the Provider in a timely and complete manner. The Client guarantees the provision of correct, current, and complete data to the Provider at all times. Changes in data must be communicated to the Provider electronically as soon as possible.
A.6 Prices and payment
A.6.1 All monetary amounts communicated by the Provider, including prices and calculations of fees, payments, honoraria, bonuses, additional compensation(s), or costs are, where applicable, exclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes and government levies. The most recently published prices and rates on the Site apply to the Services at the time of invoicing or, if earlier, at the time of charging.
A.6.2 Unforeseen price increases by suppliers of the Provider, whether retroactively or not, changes in exchange rates, import duties, VAT, or statutory wage rounds give the Provider the right to charge the corresponding higher price at its discretion or to dissolve the Agreement.
A.6.3 Payments made by the Client are applied to the satisfaction of (i) due compensations, penalties, interest, and costs and (ii) the longest outstanding invoices.
A.6.4 Invoices must be paid within fourteen (14) days after the invoice date, unless otherwise indicated in writing by the Provider. If the Client has not paid an invoice after this period, the Client (as well as any agreed third-party debtor) is automatically in default, without the need for a formal notice of default.
A.6.5 Payments can also be made directly – if and to the extent that the Provider has provided for this – via a Site (through a payment service provider).
A.6.6 By operation of law, all amounts owed by the Client to the Provider under other invoices or other titles become immediately due and payable in the event of non-payment. The Provider's claim against the Client is also immediately due and payable if the Client changes its legal form, applies for a suspension of payment, is declared bankrupt, proceeds to liquidation, dies, or, in the case of a company, is dissolved or if third parties seize the Client's assets, goods, claims, and/or other assets.
A.6.7 Payments must be made by the Client in euros or other currencies explicitly indicated by the Provider and in accordance with the bank details or payment method(s) indicated by the Provider. Costs for currency conversion or other payment costs are at the expense of the Client.
A.6.8 The Provider reserves the right to charge administration fees, interest, and debt collection costs on overdue payments.
A.11.11 The previous exclusions and limitations of liability apply unabridged to the Provider's Affiliated Entities and to the directors, management, and employees of the Provider and the Provider's Affiliated Entities, who may directly invoke these provisions.
A.11.12 Insofar as the Provider suffers damage as a result of a breach by the contracting parties of the Customer, the Customer shall, in consultation with the Provider, do everything necessary to obtain compensation for this damage.

If the Provider or the other mentioned persons are approached by third parties in this regard, the Customer is obliged to assist them both outside and in legal proceedings and to promptly do everything that can be expected in such cases to avoid or at least reduce legal claims or damage to the Provider or the other mentioned persons.
A.12.2 Should the Customer (wholly, partially, or temporarily) fail to take adequate measures regarding its obligations due to the preceding paragraph, the Provider is entitled, at its discretion and without further notice of default, to take such measures itself, possibly on behalf of and at the expense and risk of the Customer. All costs and damages incurred by the Provider and/or the other mentioned persons as a result shall then be borne by the Customer.
A.12.3 The Provider engages third parties for part of its work and execution of the Services, including for compliance and monitoring, payment services, and data storage services. The preceding indemnification obligations also apply to these third parties.

A.13.1.4 In the event of total or partial failure by the Customer to comply with obligations towards the Provider.

The receiving Party ensures that these persons are obliged to maintain confidentiality of this confidential information by an employment contract and/or a confidentiality agreement. Confidential information does not include: information that was already public at the time it came to the knowledge of the receiving Party or subsequently became public without the fault of the receiving Party, or that the receiving Party received from a third party without any confidentiality obligation being imposed or that third party being obliged to do so.

For products:
B.6.2 The Consumer may dissolve an agreement regarding the purchase of a product within a reflection period of at least 14 days without stating reasons. The reflection period begins on the day after the Consumer, or a third party designated by the Consumer who is not the carrier, has received the product, or: (i) if the Consumer has ordered multiple products in the same order: the day on which the Consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last product.

B.6.3 During the reflection period, the Consumer shall handle the product and packaging with care. He shall only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to ascertain the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the product.

The Consumer is only liable for depreciation of the product resulting from handling the product that goes beyond what is permitted as stated above.
B.6.4 As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification by the Consumer that he is exercising the right of withdrawal, the Consumer shall return the product, or hand it over to (an authorized representative of) the Provider. This is not necessary if the Provider has offered to collect the product himself. The Consumer has complied with the return period if he returns the product before the reflection period has expired.
B.6.5 The Consumer returns the product with all supplied accessories, if reasonably possible in original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the Provider.
B.6.6 The Consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the Provider has not stated that the Consumer must bear these costs or if the Provider indicates that he will bear the costs himself, the Consumer does not have to bear the return costs.
B.6.7 The Provider shall reimburse all payments made by the Consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the Provider for the returned product, without delay, but in any case no later than 14 days from the day on which the Provider is informed of the decision of the Consumer to withdraw from the Agreement.

B.6.8 If the Consumer has chosen a more expensive delivery method than the cheapest standard delivery, the Provider does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.
B.7 Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal
B.7.1 The Provider may exclude the right of withdrawal for the following types of contracts: (i) contracts for the supply of services, once the service has been fully performed, if the performance has begun with the express consent of the Consumer and the Consumer has acknowledged that he loses his right of withdrawal once the contract is fully performed; (ii) contracts for the supply of products or services whose price depends on fluctuations in the financial market over which the Provider has no control, and which may occur during the withdrawal period; (iii) contracts for the supply of products made to the Consumer's specifications or that are clearly personalized; (iv) contracts for the supply of sealed products that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene and where the seal has been broken after delivery; (v) contracts for the supply of products that are, by their nature, inseparably mixed with other items after delivery.
B.8 Conditions for Use of the Platform
B.8.1 The Consumer is obliged to observe and comply with the instructions, manuals, terms and conditions, and/or codes of conduct of the Provider with regard to the use of the Platform.
B.8.2 The Consumer is responsible for keeping his login credentials and/or access codes strictly confidential.
General:
B.6.8 If the Provider has not provided the Consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, the reflection period expires twelve months after the end of the original reflection period established in accordance with the previous paragraph.
B.6.9 If the Provider has provided the information referred to in the previous paragraph to the Consumer within twelve months from the start date of the original reflection period, the reflection period expires 14 days after the day on which the Consumer received that information.
B.6.10 If the Consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they must notify the Provider within the reflection period using the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner. The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the Consumer.
B.6.11 If the Consumer withdraws after having expressly requested that the performance of the Service begins during the reflection period, the Consumer owes the Provider an amount proportional to that part of the obligation that has been fulfilled by the Provider at the time of withdrawal, compared to the full performance of the obligation.
B.6.12 The Consumer incurs no costs for the execution of Services if (i) the Provider has not provided the Consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, the cost reimbursement upon withdrawal, or the model withdrawal form, or (ii) the Consumer has not expressly requested the commencement of the execution of the Service during the reflection period.
B.6.13 The Consumer incurs no costs for the full or partial delivery of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium, if (i) they have not expressly agreed to the commencement of the performance of the Agreement before the end of the reflection period, (ii) they have not acknowledged that they lose their right of withdrawal by granting their consent; or (iii) the Provider has failed to confirm this statement from the Consumer.
B.6.14 If the Consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, all supplementary agreements are automatically dissolved.
B.6.15 The Provider uses the same payment method for refunds that the Consumer used, unless the Consumer agrees to a different method. The refund is free of charge for the Consumer. If the Consumer has chosen a more expensive delivery method than the cheapest standard delivery, the Provider does not have to refund the additional costs for the more expensive method.
B.6.16 The Provider may exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the Provider has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in a timely manner before the conclusion of the Agreement:
B.6.16.1 Products or services whose price is linked to fluctuations in the financial market that the Provider cannot influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period;
B.6.16.2 Agreements concluded during a public auction;

B.6.16.4 Products manufactured according to the Consumer's specifications, which are not prefabricated and which are produced based on an individual choice or decision of the Consumer, or which are clearly intended for a specific person;
