II. General
2.1 These General Terms and Conditions are applicable to all Agreements, regardless of the manner in which they are concluded and all other legal acts between Jumentra and the User, if any.
2.2 Jumentra is at all times entitled to adjust or supplement these General Terms and Conditions.
2.3 Deviations from these General Terms and Conditions are valid only if they have been explicitly agreed between Jumentra and the User, either in writing or by e-mail.
2.4 Jumentra explicitly rejects any General Terms and Conditions of the User.
2.5 Once these General Terms and Conditions have been applicable to a legal relationship between the User and Jumentra, the User is deemed to agree, in advance, with the applicability of the General Terms and Conditions to Agreements concluded thereafter and yet to be concluded.
2.6 If and insofar as any provision of these General Terms and Conditions is null and void or becomes null and void, the remaining conditions will remain in full force. In that case, Jumentra will stipulate a new provision that replaces the void or nullified provision, which will be as close to the purport of the void/nullified provision as possible.
III. Formation of the agreement
3.1 Agreements can be concluded verbally, in writing, by telephone, electronically or otherwise, at the discretion of the Parties. Jumentra, at its discretion, decides which method of formation it agrees to and which not. The Agreement between the Parties is binding, regardless of the manner in which it is formed.
IV. Rates and payments
4.1 All prices and rates stated by Jumentra are in Euros and exclusive of turnover tax (VAT) and any other levies imposed by the government, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. The rates can be non-recurrent sums payable in advance and/or monthly instalments or other amounts to be paid periodically.
4.2 Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 5 of this article, Jumentra will at all times be entitled to adjust its rates. Unless explicitly agreed that prices and rates are applicable for a certain period, the stated price changes for monthly instalments or other amounts to be paid periodically come into force 1 (one) after having been announced. The changes will be announced via the Website.
4.3 Changes for non-recurrent sums payable in advance come into effect straight away. The changes will be announced via the Website.
4.4 If the user does not wish to agree to the changes referred to in the previous articles, he has the option to terminate his Agreement with Jumentra in accordance with the procedure as described in article 17.2, for a period of 14 (fourteen) days prior to the date on which the change comes into force.
4.5 In addition to the changes referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, Jumentra is entitled to adjust its prices and rates in accordance with the indexation figure for business services as applicable at Statistics Netherlands and published on www.cbs.nl or subsequent website. The adjustment is announced by means of a notification on the website, at least one month prior to the date of the rate change. For the sake of clarity: in this case, the right to terminate as referred to paragraph 4 of this article does not exist.
4.6 The rates payable to Jumentra are payable in advance, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
4.7 Payment is effected by means of direct debit. After conclusion of the Agreement, the User must provide Jumentra with a mandate to that end, in the manner prescribed on the Website. The amounts payable will be charged straight away. In the event of a reversal, e.g. due to insufficient funds, Jumentra is entitled to charge additional administration costs.
4.8 If the direct debit attempt was unsuccessful, the User will be notified together with a new payment term. If payment is not forthcoming after that term either, the User will be in default by operation of law, without further notice of default or demand being required. From that moment and without further notification by Jumentra, the User owes statutory interest on the outstanding amount.
4.9 If the User is in default, Jumentra will be entitled to outsource the claim for collection. In that event, the User, in addition to payment of the principal sum and any statutory interest owed on it, will be obliged to pay all extrajudicial and any judicial costs, specifically in addition to any costs ordered by the courts. The extent of these costs is a minimum of 15% of the principal sum, subject to a minimum of EUR 100 (hundred Euros).
4.10 All payments by the User to Jumentra are deducted from the invoice of Jumentra that has been outstanding longest, regardless of any instructions to the contrary by the User.
4.11 The User will be unable to rely on suspension, set-off or deduction.
