1. Applicability
1. Vignette & Visa B.V. declares these general terms and conditions applicable to the use of its website and every offer made by Vignette & Visa B.V. and, whether or not resulting therefrom, agreements entered into by the parties with each other. Insofar as their content has not been changed and no more specific conditions apply between the parties, these general conditions will also apply to future contractual relationships between the parties.
2. Deviations from these terms and conditions shall only apply insofar as they have been expressly agreed in writing by the parties.
3. General (purchase) terms and conditions of The Customer are expressly rejected.
4. Third parties engaged by Vignette & Visa B.V. for the execution of the agreement may also invoke these general terms and conditions.
5. If one or more (part(s)) of the provisions of these general terms and conditions are null and void or annulled, the remaining provisions of these general terms and conditions shall continue to apply. The parties shall then consult to agree new rules to replace the void or nullified provisions, in which the purpose and meaning of the void or nullified provisions shall be expressed as much as possible.

2. Offer and agreement
1. Every offer, whether in the form of an Offer or otherwise, is entirely and unconditionally free of obligation and revocable, unless otherwise indicated in writing by Vignette & Visa B.V..
2. The prices stated on the website or in any other form of an offer are in principle in Euros and exclusive of 21% VAT and subject to levies, surcharges and other factors. The Client expressly agrees that Vignette & Visa B.V. may apply local VAT rates in view of the nature and performance of the agreement.
3. All statements by Vignette & Visa B.V. of services to be provided are indications only. A minor deviation from this in what is delivered shall not result in a failure to fulfil the contract on the part of Vignette & Visa B.V..
4. Obvious clerical errors and mistakes in the offer are not binding on Vignette & Visa B.V..
5. Vignette & Visa B.V. is free to have the assignment carried out by third parties. Section 7:404 of the Civil Code is expressly excluded from the contract.
6. A contract is concluded when both parties have signed an offer in writing, after Vignette & Visa B.V. has confirmed acceptance of its offer in writing or electronically, or after Vignette & Visa B.V., or a third party on its behalf, has commenced performance.
7. Vignette & Visa B.V. shall endeavour to fulfil the agreement within the specified/estimated period. This period is not fatal, which means that The Client must always first give Vignette & Visa B.V. notice of default, whereby a long and reasonable period for performance must be given, before any remedy can be taken.
8. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, Vignette & Visa B.V. shall at all times be free to choose the working methods to be used in the execution of the agreement. Vignette & Visa B.V. is therefore free to decide, prior to and/or during the execution of the contract, to use other working methods in the execution of the contract.
9. Vignette & Visa B.V. is expressly not a party to an agreement made between The Client and Vignette Issuer or third parties. Disputes arising from such an agreement are to be resolved by the parties themselves. Vignette & Visa B.V. plays no part in this.

3. Obligations of the Client
1. The Client shall give Vignette & Visa B.V. the opportunity to carry out the assignment. The Client undertakes to provide the cooperation necessary for Vignette & Visa B.V. to execute the agreement.
2. The Client shall ensure that all data which Vignette & Visa B.V. indicates to be necessary or which the Client should reasonably understand to be necessary for the execution of the agreement are provided to Vignette & Visa B.V. in good time. For example, but not limited to, type of vehicle, desired start date, desired period of validity, country of vehicle registration, vehicle registration number, email address and vehicle number of the vehicle. The Customer itself bears the risk and responsibility of correct and timely delivery of the required information and its content, regardless of how The Customer provides it. If the necessary information is not provided to Vignette & Visa B.V. on time, Vignette & Visa B.V. has the right to suspend the execution of the agreement and/or charge the additional costs arising from the delay to The Client at the usual rates.
3. All damage resulting from the breach of the previous paragraph shall be borne by The Client and The Client shall indemnify Vignette & Visa B.V. in this respect.
4. The Client is obliged to examine and assess for itself the (general) terms and conditions used by Vignette Provider, as shown in the Offer. Vignette & Visa B.V. does not act for The Client in this respect. At the time The Client accepts an Offer, The Client declares to have studied the Offer and to have ascertained the conditions attached to the Offer.
5. Disputes relating to or arising from an agreement between The Client and the Vignette Issuer shall be settled between the parties.
6. Prior to execution, The Client shall provide Vignette & Visa B.V. with the agreed and required items and information. Vignette & Visa B.V. will assess these to the best of its knowledge. However, Vignette & Visa B.V. shall not be liable for any loss which arises because work was nevertheless carried out without delay on the basis of incorrect matters and information provided by The Client.
7. The Client warrants that digitally supplied material is secure and contains no viruses or other harmful content which could in any way damage the computer systems, computer programmes of Vignette & Visa B.V. and/or third parties.

9.

2. Unless otherwise agreed, The Customer shall have paid the fee due in full immediately prior to the commencement of the provision of the service by means of the payment method offered. If paid by invoice, a payment term of 14 days applies.
3. If the agreed term of payment is exceeded, and in any other case of default, Vignette & Visa B.V. shall be entitled to suspend any performance for the duration of the default. Vignette & Visa B.V. is also immediately entitled to charge the Client default interest of 1% of the principal sum per month as well as an amount for extrajudicial collection costs. The latter costs amount to 15% of the principal sum due with a minimum amount of EUR. 40,- excluding VAT.
4. Without the express written consent of Vignette & Visa B.V., The Client is not permitted to apply set-off and/or suspension and/or deduction in respect of its payment obligations.

5. Termination of the agreement
1. Vignette & Visa B.V. has the right to terminate the agreement with The Client with immediate effect for the future by means of a written notification without (further) prior notice of default and without any right to compensation, if:

b) The Client is granted a suspension of payments (provisional or otherwise) or The Client is declared bankrupt, The Client applies for a debt rescheduling arrangement or The Client is placed under guardianship or administration.

3. Vignette & Visa B.V. is not responsible for statements, actions or conduct of the Vignette Issuer. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Vignette & Visa B.V. is not a party to the agreement which The Client enters into with a Vignette Issuer.
