In these general terms and conditions the following terms have the following meanings:


• RS: The professional who operates under the name of Renaissance Soul.

• The client: The legal entity that issues the assignment
.
• The agreement: the agreements between the client and RS.

• These conditions apply to every offer and every agreement between RS and the client to which the parties have declared these conditions applicable, insofar as the parties have not deviated from these conditions expressly and in writing.
• 
The present terms and conditions also apply to all agreements with RS for the implementation of which third parties must be involved.

• The quotations made by RS are without obligation; they are valid for 14 days, unless stated otherwise. RS is only bound by the offers if their acceptance is confirmed in writing by the other party within 14 days.
• 
The client has a reflection period of 7 days. This means that the client can withdraw a signed order confirmation (quotation) within 7 days, without additional costs.

• The prices in the quotations mentioned are exclusive of VAT, unless stated otherwise.
• Offers are based on the information available at RS and / or its associate (s).

• A quotation becomes an assignment as soon as the quotation has been confirmed.

• If an assignment, or part thereof, is withdrawn within 48 hours before the start of its execution, the client will be charged 100% of the time and costs reserved for the execution.

• If an assignment, or part thereof, is withdrawn within three days (73 hours) before the start of its execution, the client will be charged 50% of the time and costs reserved for the execution.

• If an assignment, or part thereof, is withdrawn within one week before the start of its execution, the preparatory work that was necessary for the execution of the assignment will be charged to the client.

• RS will execute the agreement in accordance with the guidelines and rules of conduct of the FNV ZZP and to the best of its knowledge, ability and in accordance with the requirements of good workmanship.

• If and insofar as required for the proper execution of the agreement, RS has the right to have certain activities performed by third parties. This will always be done in consultation with the client.

• The client will ensure that all information of which RS indicates that it is necessary or of which the client should reasonably understand that it is necessary for the performance of the agreement is provided to RS in a timely manner. If the information required for the execution of the agreement has not been provided to RS on time, RS 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 usual rates.
• The contractor is not liable for damage, of whatever nature, due to the fact that RS has assumed incorrect and / or incomplete information provided by the client, unless it should have been aware of this inaccuracy or incompleteness.

• Both parties can terminate the agreement in writing at any time. If the duration of the assignment is one year or longer, the parties must observe a notice period of at least 1 month.

• Complaints about the work performed must be reported to RS in writing by the client within 8 days after discovery, but no later than 14 days after completion of the work in question.

• RS will confirm this within 8 days after receipt of the complaint, stating the contact person. Furthermore, the complaint will be dealt with as quickly as possible and will be treated in confidence.

• If a complaint is well-founded, RS will still perform the work as agreed; unless this has meanwhile become demonstrably pointless for the client. The latter must be made known in writing by the client.

• If it is no longer possible or useful to provide the agreed services as yet, RS will only be liable within the limits of Article 16.
5. In case of disputes, the complainant can turn to the independent complaints committee of the FNVZZP. RS submits to their complaints procedure.

• Payments must be made online through the webshop in the currency in which the product is presented, unless otherwise agreed.
• In the event of liquidation, bankruptcy or suspension of payment of the client, the claims of the RS and the obligations of the client towards the contractor will be immediately due and payable.
• Payments made by the client always serve to settle in the first place all interest and costs owed, in the second place of due and payable invoices that have been outstanding the longest, even if the client states that the payment relates to a later invoice.
• In the case of reimbursement of amounts credited by RS, a payment term of a maximum of 60 days will be applied.

• In these general terms and conditions, force majeure is understood to mean, in addition to what is understood in this regard in law and jurisprudence, all external causes, foreseen or unforeseen, on which RS cannot exert influence, but as a result of which RS is unable to fulfill its obligations. This includes strikes in the company of RS, pandemics, sickness of the owner of RS.
• RS also has the right to invoke force majeure if the circumstance that prevents (further) fulfillment occurs after RS should have fulfilled its obligation.

• During force majeure, RS’ obligations are suspended. If the period in which fulfillment of the obligations by RS is not possible due to force majeure lasts longer than 7 months, both parties are entitled to dissolve the agreement without there being an obligation to pay compensation in that case.

• If RS has already partially fulfilled its obligations upon the commencement of the force majeure, or can only partially fulfill its obligations, it is entitled to separately invoice the already executed or executable part and the client is obliged to pay this invoice as if it concerned a separate contract. However, this does not apply if the already performed or executable part has no independent value.
