This requires that this natural person can be regarded as the (co)policymaker of the legal person. In the event of non-payment by the legal entity, the natural person is therefore personally liable for payment of the invoice, regardless of whether it is made out in the name of a legal entity or in the name of the client as a natural person or both of them, whether or not at the client's request.

When the client is in default, he owes the service provider, in addition to the principal sum, statutory (commercial) interest, extrajudicial collection costs and other damages. The collection costs are calculated according to the Decree on compensation for extrajudicial collection costs.
5. In case of liquidation, bankruptcy, attachment or suspension of payment of the principal, the service provider's claims on the principal are immediately due and payable.

4. If no fixed price has been agreed upon, the rate with respect to the provision of services may be determined on the basis of hours actually spent.

In that case, the client is entitled to cancel part of the order that exceeds the guide price plus 10%.

Article 12 - Force majeure
1. In addition to the provisions of section 6:75 of the Civil Code, a service provider's failure to meet any obligation to the client cannot be attributed to the service provider in case of a circumstance independent of the service provider's will, as a result of which the fulfilment of its obligations to the client is fully or partially prevented or as a result of which the service provider cannot reasonably be required to fulfil its obligations. Such circumstances shall include defaults by suppliers or other third parties, power failures, computer viruses, strikes, bad weather conditions and work interruptions.
2. If a situation as referred to above arises as a result of which service provider cannot meet its obligations to the client, those obligations shall be suspended for as long as service provider cannot meet its obligations.

1. In case an order is given by more than one person, each of them is jointly and severally liable for the amounts due to service provider under that order.
2. If an order is directly or indirectly given by a natural person on behalf of a legal person, such natural person may also be the principal in private. This requires that this natural person can be regarded as the (co)policymaker of the legal person. In the event of non-payment by the legal entity, the natural person is therefore personally liable for payment of the invoice, regardless of whether it is made out in the name of a legal entity or in the name of the client as a natural person or both of them, whether or not at the client's request.

Article 23 - Retention of title, right of suspension and right of retention

4. If goods have not yet been delivered, but the agreed advance payment or price has not been paid as agreed, the service provider shall have the right of retention. The goods shall then not be delivered until the customer has paid in full and in accordance with the agreement.
5. In case of liquidation, insolvency or suspension of payment of the customer, the obligations of the customer shall be immediately due and payable.

If the client violates the article of these general terms and conditions on confidentiality, the client forfeits to the service provider an immediately payable fine of € 5,000 for each violation and in addition an amount of € 500 for each day that the violation continues.
