ARTICLE 2 - FORMATION AND CONTENT OF AGREEMENT

  1. An Agreement is concluded at the moment the Client accepts, in Writing, an offer made by TTWP and fulfils any - if applicable - conditions set theirin. The Client receives a Written confirmation from TTWP stating the receipt of the acceptance of the offer made by TTWP.

  2. If an offer has a limited duration period, or is made subject to conditions, this shall be expressly stated in the offer.

  3. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the Services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the Client.

  4. The quotations issued are mutually free of obligation; no rights can be derived from printing errors, misprints and mutilated quotations/proposals and they do not bind TTWP.

  5. If TTWP has been awarded the Assignment and has started to carry out and/or adjust a quotation, without a signed Agreement having yet come into being, the applicant shall be liable for all preparatory costs. This includes, among other things, research costs for obtaining more information than that described in the quotation, costs for site visits, interviews at the applicant's premises, etc.

  6. The prices in the mentioned quotations/proposals include VAT and other government levies.

  7. If the acceptance deviates (on minor points) from the offer included in the quotation, TTWP will not be bound by it. The Agreement will then not be concluded in accordance with this deviating acceptance, unless TTWP indicates otherwise.

  8. A composite quotation shall not oblige TTWP to carry out part of the Agreement/Assignment at a corresponding part of the quoted price.    

  9. Offers and quotations/proposals do not automatically apply to future Orders.

  10. TTWP is always free, without giving reasons, to refuse an accepted offer. If payment has already been made, TTWP will immediately reimburse this amount after refusal.

  11. TTWP reserves the right not to execute a concluded Agreement, e.g. if they have reasonable doubt or information that a Client will not (be able to) fulfil his/hers (financial) obligations. If TTWP refuses, they will inform the Client in Writing of the refusal within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the Agreement.

ARTICLE 3 - IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGREEMENT

  1. TTWP will execute the Agreement to the best of its knowledge and ability and in accordance with the requirements of good craftsmanship. In doing so, TTWP shall operate on the basis of an obligation to perform to the best of its ability and not on the basis of an obligation to achieve a certain result.

  2. If and insofar as required for the proper execution of the Agreement or otherwise necessary and/or desirable in TTWP's judgement, TTWP is entitled to have certain activities carried out by Third Parties.

  3. The Client must ensure that all data of which TTWP indicates that they are important for the execution of the Agreement, as well as all data of which the Client must understand that they are important for the execution of the Agreement, are provided to TTWP on time and in the correct form (as indicated by TTWP). If the data required for the execution of the Agreement has not been provided to TTWP on time or in the correct form, TTWP will be entitled to suspend the execution of the Agreement and/or to charge the Client for the additional costs resulting from the delay, in accordance with their usual rates.

  4. TTWP is not liable for damage, of whatever nature, resulting from the fact that TTWP has relied on incorrect and/or incomplete information provided by the Client.

  5. If, in the context of an Agreement, work is performed by TTWP or by Third Parties engaged by TTWP at the Client's premises or at a location designated by the Client, the Client must bear the costs associated with the facilities reasonably required by those employees.

  6. The Client shall indemnify TTWP, or Third Parties engaged by TTWP, against any claims by Third Parties who suffer damage in connection with the execution of the Agreement.

  7. If the Client requires the deployment of additional (personal) support for the execution of the Agreement, TTWP must be informed in writing at least one (1) month before such deployment is to take place. This additional deployment will be charged on the basis of the agreed upon and/or usual hourly rate excluding any travel and accommodation expenses.

  8. The Client must provide a healthy meal on the day of the wedding for TTWP, its employées and any Third Parties engaged by TTWP. Unless otherwise agreed upon in Writing TTWP shall charge the Client for the costs of a hotel stay (for the duration of the wedding + one night before and one night after the wedding). Prior to booking a hotel, consultation between TTWP and the Client will take place.

  9. The Client grants permission to TTWP to use visual material - in the broadest sense of the word and with due regard for the rights of the possible creator thereof - for the benefit of TTWP's portfolio.

  10. The styling materials provided by TTWP remain the property of TTWP. If these materials are not returned to TTWP completely and/or undamaged, the Client must reimburse TTWP for the replacement value.

  11. Agreed upon delivery dates are always indicative. The delivery periods are not final deadlines. Exceeding a term therefore does not entitle the Client to compensation.

ARTICLE 4 - AMENDING THE AGREEMENT

  1. If, during the performance of the Agreement, it appears that for a proper performance it is necessary to modify or supplement the work to be carried out, the parties will, in good time and in consultation, adapt the Agreement accordingly.

ARTICLE 5 - DELIVERY TERMS

  1. If the Client does not take receipt of the rented or delivered products and/or Services before or at the agreed upon time of delivery, the Assignment shall still be charged in accordance with the Agreement concluded between the parties, possibly increased by the costs of damage suffered and/or additional expenses incurred by TTWP.

  2. The Client's request to change the delivery dates may only be made in mutual consultation and after Written confirmation by TTWP. All costs resulting from this change shall be borne by the Client.

  3. The late or incorrect delivery of information and other documents of which the Client knows or understands that they may have an effect on the delivery deadlines or the costs, shall be at the Client's expense and risk. In that case TTWP is entitled to charge the Client for the extra costs (possibly) involved.

ARTICLE 6 - FEES

  1. All amounts are in euros and exclusive of VAT and other government levies, unless otherwise agreed upon in Writing.

  2. TTWP reserves the right to apply an inflation correction once a year.

  3. The agreed upon amounts are based on cost price-determining factors at the time of the offer. TTWP reserves the right to, 3 (three) months after the conclusion of the Agreement, pass on to the Client any changes in cost price-determining factors over which TTWP cannot reasonably exercise any influence, such as increases in excise duties, social security charges, insurance payments or VAT, up to a maximum of 20% of the original amount.

  4. TTWP's fee is exclusive of any expenses incurred by TTWP and exclusive of expense claims submitted by Third Parties engaged by TTWP.

  5. The transport costs incurred by TTWP for the execution of the Agreement within the Netherlands will be charged to the final invoice on the basis of subsequent calculation.

  6. The transport costs incurred by TTWP for the execution of the Agreement outside of the Netherlands (with regard to 'Destination Weddings') will be charged on the final invoice on the basis of subsequent calculation, including the costs of any air tickets, accommodation and facilities, etc.

  7. Discounts and quoted amounts do not automatically apply to future Agreements.

ARTICLE 7 - PAYMENT

  1. When concluding an Agreement for an amount exceeding €2,000,- the client shall make an advance payment (also referred to as a commitment fee) of 40% of the total amount quoted. This amount must be paid within the stipulated period of 14 (fourteen) days after the invoice date, unless agreed upon otherwise in Writing between the Client and TTWP. During the planning process the Client will receive invoices for the rest of the amount (30-60%) of the quoted amount at least 14 (fourteen) days before the wedding. Halfway through the planning proces the client will receive a payment link of €1500 to cover the travelcosts and expenses for the wedding/event. 

  2. An Agreement for an amount below €2,000,- must be paid in one payment (100%) within the stipulated period of 14 (fourteen) days after the invoice date, but always prior to the wedding/event. The full amount must therefore always be paid before the wedding/event at its latest.

  3. After the wedding/event, the Client may receive a final invoice on the basis of subsequent calculation, for the costs not yet invoiced and any credits or debits resulting from changes to the order confirmation/Agreement. Any objections to the amount of the invoices shall not suspend the Client's payment obligation here either.

  4. The Client is obliged to notify TTWP immediately of any inaccuracies in payment data provided or stated.

  5. If the wedding is, for whatever reason, moved by the Client to the next calendar year, then this shall be done in consultation with TTWP. With regard to such rescheduling, this shall be possible up to a maximum of 3 (three) months prior to the wedding or event, on the understanding that this shall only be possible on the basis of availability. In the case of a move to the following calendar year the Client shall be charged a surcharge of 50% of the total amount, plus the other costs incurred as a result of the move (for example, additional work: hours based on actual costs, additional costs of the location, of suppliers, etc.).

  6. A Client who fails to pay on time will be in default by operation of law, without any further notice of default being required. In that case TTWP shall be entitled to dissolve the Agreement or to demand full performance. TTWP is also entitled to claim additional compensation for all costs incurred, hours worked and investments made in relation to the Agreement. In that case the Client shall owe interest of 5% per month, unless the statutory (commercial) interest rate is higher, in which case the statutory (commercial) interest rate shall apply. The interest on the amount due and payable shall be calculated as from the moment that Client is in default until the moment of payment of the amount in full.

  7. If the Client is a Consumer and they fail to pay on time, the Consumer's late payment will be pointed out to him by TTWP and he/she will be given a period of 14 (fourteen) days to fulfil their payment obligation. If payment is not made within this fourteen-day period, the Consumer shall be in default. As a result, the Consumer shall also owe the statutory interest on the amount still due. In addition, TTWP shall be entitled to charge any extrajudicial collection costs it incurs.

  8. In the event of (a reasonable prospect of) the Client's liquidation, bankruptcy, attachment, debt rescheduling in the context of the WSNP or suspension of payments, TTWP's claims against the Client and the Client's obligations towards TTWP shall be immediately due and payable.

  9. If the Client fails to fulfil one or more of its obligations, fails to do so on time or properly, is declared bankrupt, applies for (temporary) suspension of payments and/or deferral of payments, proceeds to wind up its business or if its assets are seized in whole or in part, TTWP shall be entitled to suspend the execution of the Agreement or to terminate and/or dissolve it, in whole or in part, by operation of law and without prior notice of default, at its discretion, always without prejudice to any right it may have to compensation of costs, damage and interest.

  10. TTWP shall be entitled to apply the payments made by the Client firstly to the deduction of all costs owed, then to the deduction of the interest falling vacant, and finally to the deduction of the principal sum and the accrued interest. Without being in default, TTWP may refuse an offer of payment if the Client indicates a different order of allocation. TTWP may refuse the full repayment of the principal sum if, in doing so, the arrears and current interest and the costs are not also paid.

  11. If Client is in default and/or in breach of contract with respect to the fulfilment of one or more of his obligations, all costs incurred in obtaining satisfaction out of court shall be borne by Client. If the Client remains in default of payment of a sum of money on time, he forfeits an immediately payable penalty of 10% over the amount still due. This with a minimum of 250 Euros and without prejudice to the VAT and without prejudice to possible process and execution costs.

  12. Client shall also owe interest on the (extrajudicial) collection costs incurred.

  3. If the Client terminates the Agreement prematurely, TTWP shall be entitled to compensation for the resulting and plausible loss of capacity utilisation, unless there are facts and/or circumstances underlying the termination that can be attributed to TTWP.

  4. TTWP is entitled to suspend the fulfilment of the obligations or to dissolve the Agreement if the Client does not or not fully fulfil the obligations arising from the Agreement and/or if circumstances become known to TTWP after the conclusion of the Agreement that give TTWP good reason to fear that the Client will not fulfil the obligations and/or, at the conclusion of the Agreement, the Client was requested to provide security for the fulfilment of his obligations arising from the Agreement and such security is insufficient or fails to materialise.
