Such amount is equal to 5 percent plus a percentage equal to the increase in the consumer price index, as set by the CBS [Dutch Central Statistics Office], for the year prior to the year in which the increase is proposed. It should be mentioned explicitly that the index-based increases in price applied by White Canvas is not grounds for a premature dissolution. The consumer price index is an integral part of the agreed upon price.

Article 4: Payment

  1. White Canvas invoices clients before delivering services and collects monthly amounts on the 20th of each month.
  2. By approving the SEPA mandate, the Client receives a 10% discount on monthly amounts. The prices stated on the Agreement include the 10% discount, unless agreed otherwise. If the Client decides to transfer the monthly amounts manually, the discount is annulled.
  3. Payment must be made within 30 days of invoice date, unless otherwise agreed.
  4. Payments are to be made without discounts or set offs. Client does not have the right to suspend payment in case it has, or purports to have a claim against White Canvas. Objections against the amount of the invoices do not suspend obligation to pay.
  5. After expiration of the payment term, the Client is legally considered in default. From the moment of entry into default, the Client is liable for a monthly 1% interest rate, with portions of the month considered a full month.
  6. If the Client is three (3) months in default, full payment of all remaining contract dues must be made.
  7. Upon expiration of payment terms, White Canvas is entitled to suspend all its services until payments have been received. Suspension of the services does not indemnify the Client of its ongoing payment obligations.
  8. In case of liquidation, bankruptcy, seizure or suspension of payment by the Client, White Canvas’ losses against the client are immediately claimable.
  9. If a payment is made, this shall be executed in accordance with Art. 6:44 of Dutch Civil Law, along with all accrued interests and costs.

Article 5: Collection Fees

  1. If the Client is in default or fails to fulfil any of its obligations, it shall be responsible for all reasonable costs incurred by White Canvas to remedy such default.

Article 6: Deadlines

  1. Delivery times stated by White Canvas are non-binding. White Canvas shall endeavour to adhere to agree upon deadlines, but cannot agree to do so.

Each party to this agreement is entitled to termination should this condition persist for at least thirty (30) days, without entitlement to compensation or damage due to such dissolution.

White Canvas shall not share personal data with third parties, unless if done in accordance with the means for which such information is to be processed and/or unless the client has given permission or such information must be shared. Such an obligation may exist due to legal duty, including the forwarding to competent authorities of information or where failure to supply relevant information would constitute an unlawful act towards third parties. Where White Canvas is legally obliged to share data or where it is determined that such obligation did not exist, White Canvas shall not be held responsible for any resulting damages to the Client.
