Article 3 – Formation of Agreements
3.1 - A special offer, quotation, budget or quotation by One:Nil is without any obligation and will only serve as an invitation to grant an assignment by Contracting Party. An Agreement will only be formed between One:Nil and Contracting Party as soon as One:Nil has accepted the assignment of Contracting Party in writing or has started with the performance thereof.

3.2 - In the event that One:Nil by request of Contracting Party carries out activities before an Agreement has been formed, One:Nil will be entitled to invoice those activities to Contracting Party in accordance with the applicable rates with One:Nil, even in the event that eventually no Agreement will be concluded.

Article 4 – Performance of the Agreement
4.1 - One:Nil will observe the care of a good contractor in the performance of the Agreement.

If and insofar a good performance of the Agreement so requires according to One:Nil, One:Nil will have the right to have certain activities carried out by Suppliers to be appointed thereto by One:Nil.

4.3 - Contracting Party will ensure that all data of which One:Nil indicates that they are necessary or of which Contracting Party may reasonably assume that they are necessary for the performance of the Agreement, are supplied timely to One:Nil.

Section 5 – Organisation of trips and accommodation of Contracting Party
5.1 - All activities that One:Nil carries out concerning booking and organising a trip, accommodation and tickets in the name of and on behalf of Contracting Party, exclusively relate to mediating in the formation of an agreement between a third party as supplier of that trip, accommodation or the tickets, unless expressly agreed otherwise. One:Nil will never be party to such agreements and exclusively carries out support activities for the purpose of the performance and conclusion of the agreement between Contracting Party and such third party.

5.2 - All cancellation charges ensuing from a booking cancelled by Contracting Party must therefore be paid by Contracting Party.

Contracting Party will indemnify One:Nil with respect to this.

8.3 - If the alteration of or supplement to the Agreement has financial and/or qualitative consequences, One:Nil will inform Contracting Party thereof in advance. If a fixed fee was agreed, One:Nil will indicate in how far the alteration of or the supplement to the Agreement results in overrunning such fee.

8.4 - If an alteration constitutes a substantial curtailment of the Services, this alteration will be considered to be a partial early termination. Article 11.2 second sentence will then be applicable.

Article 9 - Confidentiality
Both parties are held to secrecy of all confidential information that they acquire from each other within the framework of the Agreement or from any other source. Information will be considered confidential when this has been indicated as such by the other party or when this ensues from the nature of the information.

Contracting Party guarantees that through the use of such goods no (statutory) regulations and provisions will be breached. Contracting Party indemnifies One:Nil against all claims of third parties. In the event of a claim of third party, Contracting Party will be obliged to inform One:Nil promptly but at least within 24 hours at the latest in writing and if so requested, provide One:Nil all relevant information and assistance required to put up a defence or conduct mediation negotiations.

10.5 - All results of the Services supplied by One:Nil to the benefit of Contracting Party will be considered to be protected by intellectual property rights exclusively belonging to One:Nil, including but without any limitation copyrights, databank rights and industrial ownership rights.

If one of the abovementioned rights may exclusively be acquired through registration, One:Nil will exclusively be entitled thereto. Contracting Party will unconditionally provide all cooperation thereto.

10.6 - In the event that a further deed is required for the transfer of the intellectual property rights to One:Nil, Contracting Party, at the first request thereto by One:Nil will unconditionally fully cooperate. Contracting Party already grants One:Nil an exclusive licence until the time of the transfer to use the concerned intellectual property rights in any manner and any form as well as an authorization to exercise these rights in its own name. If Contracting Party has fulfilled its obligations with respect to One:Nil, Contracting Party will receive a licence to use the results of the Services provided to the benefit of Contracting Party. With the exception of another arrangement, the licence will exclusively be considered to have been granted for the purpose of the use by Contracting Party in the Netherlands for the period of one year and to the benefit of the media for which the concerned Services were developed by One:Nil. Without the prior permission in writing of One:Nil, Contracting Party will not be allowed to use the results of the Services in any other manner than explicitly agreed. Contracting Party indemnifies One:Nil against all damage incurred by One:Nil and/or claims of third parties in respect of any other use than agreed.

10.7 - The intellectual property rights on the results of the Services may exclusively be transferred to Contracting Party if this has been agreed in writing.

In that case, One:Nil will consult the Suppliers concerned to see whether a transfer of intellectual property rights to Contracting Party is possible.

Article 11 - Termination by giving notice

Article 12 – Termination of the Agreement

  • after entering into the Agreement, One:Nil has taken note of circumstances that give it good grounds to fear that Contracting Party will not fulfil its obligations;

12.3 - In the cases referred to in paragraph 1 and 2, One:Nil will be authorized to suspend further performance of the Agreement or to terminate the Agreement, such without prejudice to the right to claim compensation of damages.

12.4 - If circumstances occur in relation to persons and/or materials that One:Nil uses or normally makes use of in the performance of the Agreement of such a nature that the performance of the Agreement becomes impossible or so onerous and/or disproportionally expensive that fulfilment of the obligation under the Agreement cannot reasonably be required, One:Nil will be authorized to terminate the Agreement.

Article 13 - Defects; time limits for lodging a complaint (terms and conditions of service)
13.1 One:Nil has to be informed in writing of complaints with respect to activities carried out within seven days after discovery but within fourteen days on completion of the work concerned at the latest date.

13.2 - If a complaint is founded, One:Nil will carry out the activities as agreed at a later date unless this has become meaningless for Contracting Party in the meantime. The latter must be demonstrated by Contracting Party stating the reasons therefore. If carrying out the agreed work at a later date is no longer possible or meaningless, One:Nil will only be liable within the restrictions of article 17 (liability).

13.3 - Complaints lodged in time by Contracting Party do not affect its payment obligation.

14.6 - One:Nil will be entitled to charge on any increases in wages and costs of Suppliers, irrespective of whether a fixed fee has been agreed. Such a fee increase may only be invoiced to Contracting Party one month after the date of the written notification of the increase to Contracting Party.

15.3 - Payment effected by Contracting Party will serve in the first place as fulfilment of all interest and costs due and secondly as payment of all invoices due that are payable for the longest time, even if Contracting Party states that the payment refers to an invoice of a later date.

Article 16 - Collection costs
16.1 - If Contracting Party does not or not timely meet one of its obligations, in addition to the agreed price and costs, all out of court collection costs will be to the account of Contracting Party, including all costs for drawing up and sending demands, making a settlement proposal and acquiring information.

If One:Nil demonstrates that it has incurred higher costs, these will also be eligible for compensation.

16.2 - Contracting Party will be due all court costs to One:Nil incurred by One:Nil in all instances, with the exception of insofar as Contracting Party demonstrates that these are unreasonably high.

Article 17 - Liability
17.1 - The liability of One:Nil will be limited to the amount paid by the insurer. In the event that the insurer does not pay out or the damage is not covered by the insurance, One:Nil's liability will be limited to the invoice value of the work carried out by One:Nil minus the out-of-pocket costs, such with a maximum of €10,000.00.

Article 18 - Force majeure
18.1 - Force majeure will mean circumstances that impede the fulfilment of the Agreement and that may not be attributed to One:Nil. These (insofar as these circumstances make compliance impossible or hinder compliance unreasonably) will include: strikes in other businesses than One:Nil's, wildcat strikes or political strikes in One:Nil's business; a general lack of required raw materials and other goods or services that are needed to realize the agreed performance; unforeseeable stagnation with suppliers or other third parties on which One:Nil depends and general transportation problems.

18.2 - One:Nil will also have the right to invoke force majeure if the circumstance that prevents (further) compliance, comes into being after One:Nil had to meet its obligation.

18.3 - During force majeure, the obligations of One:Nil will be suspended. If the period in which fulfilment of the obligations of One:Nil is not possible, is longer than one month, both parties will be authorized to terminate the Agreement without any obligation to compensation of damages.

18.4 - If One:Nil has already partly fulfilled its obligations when the situation of force majeure comes into force, or can only partly fulfil its obligations, it will have the right to invoice what has already been supplied and/or the part that can be supplied and Contracting Party will be held to pay this invoice as if it concerned a separate contract. However, this does not apply when the already supplied part or the part to be supplied has no independent value.

Article 19 - Dispute settlement

Contracting Party may only transfer the rights and obligations from any Agreement to third parties after permission by One:Nil.

21.2 - An Agreement, including these General Terms and Conditions, is a full representation of the rights and obligations of the parties and will therefore substitute all prior written and oral arrangements, declarations, communications or actions by the parties.

21.3 - If and insofar any provision of these General Terms and Conditions cannot be invoked on the grounds of a mandatory statutory provision, or the unreasonable onerous character of these General Terms and Conditions or on the grounds of reasonability and fairness , the condition concerned will be given a meaning that is equivalent as far as this is possible in terms of contents and intention, so that this provision can be invoked.

Article 22 - Amendment of the General Terms and Conditions
One:Nil is authorized to alter these General Terms and Conditions. These alterations will take effect at the stated date of coming into force. One:Nil will send the amended General Terms and Conditions to Contracting Party.
