  2. Both the Client and Cenfil may terminate the agreement on the grounds of an attributable failure to perform the agreement if the other party has been given written notice of default and has been given a reasonable period of time to fulfill its obligations, and it fails to do so in an attributable manner. This also includes the Client's payment and cooperation obligations.
  3. The termination of the agreement does not affect the Client's payment obligations if Cenfil has performed work or delivered services at the time of termination. The Client must pay the agreed fee.
  4. The parties are entitled to terminate an agreement prematurely with one month's notice without giving reasons. During this month, current orders will be executed in accordance with the agreement.
  5. Both the Client and Cenfil may terminate the agreement in whole or in part with immediate effect, without further notice of default, if one of the parties is in suspension of payments, has filed for bankruptcy, or the company in question ceases to exist due to liquidation or other than the merger or reconstruction of the company. If a situation as described above arises, Cenfil shall never be obliged to refund any money already received and/or pay compensation.
  6. In the event of dissolution or cancellation of the agreement, orders already received will be processed in accordance with the agreement. If the Client suffers damage as a result, this will be at the expense and risk of the Client.

Article 6 – Additional work and changes.

  1. If, during the execution of the agreement, it becomes apparent that the agreement needs to be amended and/or supplemented, or if, at the Client's request, further work is required to achieve the Client's desired result, the Client is obliged to compensate Cenfil for this additional work in accordance with the agreed rate. Cenfil is not obliged to comply with this request and may require the Client to enter into a separate agreement for this purpose.
  2. If and insofar as a specific price has been agreed for the provision of certain services, and the performance of those services leads to additional (urgent) work, or additional storage space is required that cannot reasonably be considered to be included in the price quoted in advance, Cenfil is entitled to charge these costs to the Client.

Article 7 – Prices and payment.

  1. All prices are exclusive of sales tax (VAT) and other taxes. The prices shown are guidelines only and may differ from the actual invoice amount. All services will be charged to the Client on the basis of actual costs incurred.
  2. In case of urgency, or if Cenfil is required to perform its work urgently at the Client's request, the Client is obliged to reimburse the additional costs incurred as a result of the urgency.
  3. If the Parties have agreed on a down payment, this down payment must be paid by the Client before Cenfil commences its work.
  4. The client cannot derive any rights or expectations from a budget provided in advance, as this is a guideline and the actual invoiced prices may differ from this.
  5. In the event of a periodic payment obligation on the part of the Client, Cenfil is entitled to adjust the applicable prices and rates in accordance with the NEA index, subject to a notice period of at least three months.
  6. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, invoicing takes place on a weekly basis.
  7. The client is obliged to pay for Cenfil's services in full as specified in the agreement and must pay the agreed amount within seven days of the invoice date. The first payment must be made in advance.

Article 8 – Volume scale.

  1. The volume scale is based on the total number of packages sent (excluding returns) on an annual basis. The volume calculation covers a period of twelve (12) months, starting on the effective date of the collaboration. Cenfil will apply the selected rate based on the selected scale. If the total number of parcels in a contract year falls into a higher or lower scale, a subsequent adjustment will be made. The adjustment is calculated as follows: total number of parcels sent in the relevant contract year multiplied by the difference between the rate charged and the rate of the correct scale. The correct scale that the number of parcels sent in that contract year should have fallen into. This means that for a lower volume, the difference will be charged retrospectively, and for a higher volume, the difference in rate will be credited. If the collaboration is legally terminated during the contract year, the numbers (and therefore the correct scale) will be calculated pro rata.

Article 9 – Collection policy.

  1. If the Client fails to meet its payment obligation and has not fulfilled its obligation within the specified payment term of 7 days, the Client will be in default.
  2. From the date on which the Client is in default, Cenfil will, without further notice of default, claim the statutory (commercial) interest (being at least 5% per annum) from the first day of default until full payment, and compensation for extrajudicial costs in accordance with Article 6:96 of the Dutch Civil Code, calculated according to the scale set out in the Decree on compensation for extrajudicial collection costs of July 1, 2012.
  3. If Cenfil has incurred additional or higher costs that are reasonably necessary, these costs will be eligible for reimbursement. The legal and enforcement costs incurred will also be borne by the Client.
  4. Cenfil has the right to apply payments made first to reduce the costs, then to reduce the interest due, and finally to reduce the principal and current interest. Cenfil may, without being in default, refuse an offer of payment if the Client specifies a different order of allocation. Cenfil may refuse full repayment of the principal if the accrued and current interest and the costs are not also paid.

Article 10 – Performance of the agreement.

  1. Cenfil will endeavor to perform the agreement with the utmost care, as may be expected of a good contractor. All services will be performed on the basis of a best-efforts obligation, unless a result has been explicitly agreed in writing and described in detail.
  2. When performing the services, Cenfil is not obliged or required to follow the Client's instructions if this would change the content or scope of the agreed services. If the instructions result in additional work for Cenfil, the Client is obliged to reimburse the additional or extra costs accordingly.
  3. If the Client wishes Cenfil to carry out an assignment urgently, the Client must pay an additional rush fee on top of the agreed quotation amount. All urgent assignments must be paid for in advance.
  4. Cenfil is entitled to engage third parties at its own discretion for the performance of the services.
  5. If Cenfil discovers damage to the Client's goods and/or products during the performance of its services, Cenfil will inform the Client as soon as possible, but no later than 12 hours after discovering the damage. If the damage is discovered upon receipt of the Client's products and/or goods, Cenfil will not be liable for this. Cenfil will also not be liable if the damage is caused by a party other than Cenfil.

Article 11 – Delivery.

  1. If the commencement, progress, or delivery of the services or work is delayed because, for example, the Client has not provided all the requested information or has not provided it on time, has not cooperated sufficiently, the advance payment has not been received by Cenfil on time, or due to other circumstances that are at the expense and risk of the Client, Cenfil is entitled to a reasonable extension of the delivery period.
  2. All damage and additional costs resulting from delays due to a cause mentioned in paragraph 1 are at the expense and risk of the Client and will be charged to the Client by Cenfil.
  3. In the event of phased implementation, or if the Client is required to give approval, Cenfil is entitled to suspend the implementation of the agreement until the Client has given its approval.
  4. Cenfil will make every effort to provide the services within the agreed time frame, insofar as this can reasonably be expected of it. In case of urgency, the Client is obliged to reimburse Cenfil for any additional costs incurred.
  5. The nature of Cenfil's work means that work can only commence once all the necessary information has been provided by the Client. The Client bears the risk and any (damage) if he/she has not provided the necessary information in a timely manner and expressly indemnifies Cenfil against all consequences and any resulting damage for the Client and Cenfil.

  2. The impact of products is free of charge, provided that the products have a barcode and a purchase order from the system used at Cenfil.
  3. The basic principle is that the number of orders per month must be at least equal to the number of locations used*. If the number of orders per month is lower than the number of locations used, costs will be charged for the difference.
  4. For the delivery of products, a surcharge applies for pallets other than Euro Pallets.
  5. The volume scale used is based on the total number of packages to be shipped (excluding returns) on an annual basis. To avoid additional charges afterwards, a quarterly evaluation is carried out and, if necessary, the classification in the scale is adjusted.

*Locations:

  • The average size of a location is W30cm H35cm D50cm. Products outside this size are placed on a pallet location. One pallet location is equivalent to 25 locations.
  • The quotation will include a detailed example, including any storage costs, as standard.

Article 14 – Transfer of risk.

  1. The risk of theft and loss, misappropriation, or damage to data, documents, software, data files, and/or items used, created, stored, or delivered in the context of the performance of the agreement lies with the Client.
