Article 3 – The Offer

Every Offer from Culture Fitter is without obligation, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
In principle, every Offer is valid until 31 December of the current year, subject to interim price changes as a result of wage changes on the basis of the collective agreement that applies to the Worker or other laws and regulations (such as social and tax legislation). If the Offer is limited or valid under specific conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the Offer. Any changes will be communicated in writing in advance.
Culture Fitter is only bound by an Offer if it is confirmed in writing by the Client within 30 days. Culture Fitter nevertheless has the right to refuse an Agreement with a (potential) Client if it has a valid reason to do so.
The Offer contains a description of the Services offered. The description is sufficiently specified, enabling the Client to make a proper assessment of the Offer. Any details in the Offer are only an indication and cannot be a ground for any compensation or the dissolution of the Agreement.
Offers or quotations do not automatically apply to repeat orders. Final – General Terms and Conditions – 19 May 2021
Any terms included in Culture Fitter’s Offer are in principle indicative and do not entitle the Client to dissolution or compensation if they are exceeded, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

Article 4 – Formation of the agreement

The Agreement is concluded when the Client has accepted an Offer or Agreement from Culture Fitter by returning a signed copy (scanned or original) to Culture Fitter, when Culture Fitter explicitly and unambiguously agrees to the Offer by e-mail, or when it effectively performs the instruction. The Agreement between Culture Fitter and the Client is also deemed to have been concluded if the Client invites a Candidate.
Culture Fitter has the right to revoke the (signed) Agreement within 5 working days of receiving the acceptance.
Culture Fitter is not bound by an Offer if the Client could reasonably have expected or should have understood that the Offer contains a manifest mistake or clerical error. The Client cannot derive any rights from this mistake or error.
If the Client cancels an already confirmed instruction, the costs effectively incurred (including the time spent) will be charged to the Client.
Any agreement entered into with Culture Fitter or a project awarded by the Client to Culture Fitter rests with the company and not with an individual person who is associated with Culture Fitter.
The Client’s right of withdrawal is excluded, unless agreed otherwise.
If the Agreement is concluded by multiple Clients, each Client is individually jointly and severally liable for the fulfilment of all obligations arising from the Agreement.

Article 5 – Term of the agreement

The Agreement is concluded for a fixed period, unless the content, nature or purport of the instruction means the Agreement is concluded for an indefinite period. The term of the Agreement also depends on external factors, including but not limited to the quality and timely delivery of the information obtained by Culture Fitter from the Client.
Both the Client and Culture Fitter can dissolve the Agreement on the basis of an attributable shortcoming in the performance of the Agreement if the other party has been given written notice of default and has been given a reasonable period to comply with its obligations and it still correctly fails to fulfil its obligations. This also includes the Client’s obligations to pay and cooperate.
The dissolution of the Agreement does not affect the Client’s payment obligations insofar as Culture Fitter has already performed work or delivered performances at the time of the dissolution. The Client must pay the agreed fee.
The Agreement can be terminated prematurely with effect from the end of the month. The notice period is one month. Final – General Terms and Conditions – 19 May 2021
In the event of premature termination of the Agreement, the Client will owe Culture Fitter the costs effectively incurred up to that time, at the agreed (hourly) rate. The time sheets of Culture Fitter are leading, unless agreed otherwise.
Both the Client and Culture Fitter can terminate the Agreement in whole or in part in writing with immediate effect, without further notice of default, if one of the parties has been granted a suspension of payments, bankruptcy has been filed or the company concerned ends by liquidation. If a situation as mentioned above occurs, Culture Fitter is never obliged to refund monies already received and/or to pay compensation.

Article 6 – Performance of the services

Culture Fitter will endeavour to perform the agreed Service with the greatest possible care, as may be expected from a good service provider. Culture Fitter guarantees a professional and independent service. All Services are performed on the basis of a best-efforts obligation, unless a result has been explicitly agreed on in writing, which is described in detail.
The Agreement on the basis of which Culture Fitter performs the Services is leading for the extent and scope of the services. The Agreement will only be performed for the benefit of the Client. Third parties cannot derive any rights from the content of the Services performed in connection with the Agreement.
The information and data provided by the Client form the basis of the services and prices offered by Culture Fitter. Culture Fitter has the right to adjust its services and prices if the information provided appears to be incorrect and/or incomplete.
During the performance of the Services, Culture Fitter is not obliged to follow the instructions of the Client if this changes the content or scope of the agreed Services. If the instructions result in more work for Culture Fitter, the Client is obliged to reimburse the additional costs accordingly on the basis of a new quotation.
Culture Fitter is entitled to engage third parties for the performance of the Services at its discretion.
If required by the nature and duration of the instruction, Culture Fitter will keep the Client informed of the progress in the interim via the agreed manner.
The performance of the Services is based on the information provided by the Client. If the information needs to be changed, this may have consequences for any established schedule. Culture Fitter is never liable for adjusting the schedule. If the start, progress or delivery of the Services is delayed because, for example, the Client has not provided all the requested information or has not provided all requested information in time or in the desired format, if he does not sufficiently cooperate, any advance payment has not been received by Culture Fitter in time or in the event of delay caused by other circumstances, which are at the expense and risk of the Client, Culture Fitter is entitled to a reasonable extension of the delivery or completion period. All damage and additional costs as a result of delays due to a cause as mentioned above are at the expense and risk of the Client.
At the request of the Client, Culture Fitter can use his knowledge and expertise in the field of advertising. Culture Fitter and the Client discuss Culture Fitter’s fee and lay down the conditions for this in writing. In the absence of such written conditions, Culture Fitter will unilaterally determine a fee. Final – General Terms and Conditions – 19 May 2021
Culture Fitter undertakes to perform each instruction with the greatest possible care and to select candidates to the best of its ability in accordance with Culture Fitter’s vision. Culture Fitter has complete freedom in the selection of Candidates and takes into account the selection criteria of the Client, the work experience, diplomas and skills of the relevant Candidate.
Culture Fitter undertakes to recruit and select adequate Candidates with the greatest possible care for the instruction or Request placed by the Client. When introducing Candidates, Culture Fitter always puts the wishes and requirements of the Client first, but it cannot guarantee the Candidates it places always meet the wishes and expectations of the Client.

Article 7 – Obligations of the Client

The Client is obliged to provide all information requested by Culture Fitter, as well as relevant attachments and related information and data in a timely manner and/or before the start of the service and in the desired form for the correct and efficient performance of the Agreement. In the absence thereof, Culture Fitter may at times be unable to realise a full performance and/or delivery of the Agreement. The consequences of such a situation are at the expense and risk of the Client at all times.
Culture Fitter is not obliged to check the correctness and/or completeness of the information it receives or to update the Client with regard to the information if it has changed over time, nor is Culture Fitter responsible for the correctness and completeness of the information that Culture Fitter has compiled for third parties and/or is provided to third parties within the framework of the Agreement.
Culture Fitter may, if necessary for the performance of the Agreement, ask for additional information. In the absence thereof, Culture Fitter is entitled to suspend its activities until the information has been received, without being obliged to compensate the Client for whatever reason. In the event of changed circumstances, the Client must notify Culture Fitter of this immediately but no later than 3 working days after the change has become known.
Before concluding the Agreement, the Client must provide all relevant information for the clear profile of the Candidate, including but not limited to the job group, job requirements, required diplomas and experience, working times, working hours, activities, workplace, working conditions, and the intended duration of the instruction and other expense allowances and bonuses, as well as all information required to determine the fee owed and the start date of the Candidate selected by Culture Fitter. In the absence thereof, Culture Fitter may at times be unable to realise a full performance and/or delivery of the relevant services or to determine the exact fee due. The consequences of such a situation are at the expense and risk of the Client at all times.
Culture Fitter always performs its Services within the framework of a best-efforts obligation and undertakes to make every effort to recruit and select adequate Candidates with the greatest possible care for the Services requested by the Client. When assigning Candidates, Culture Fitter always puts the wishes and requirements of the Client first, but it cannot guarantee the Candidates it assigns always meet the wishes and expectations of the Client.
The Client is obliged to inform Culture Fitter in advance, but in any case immediately, of changes to its terms of employment, enabling Culture Fitter to also implement those changes towards Candidates it has assigned, insofar as this is required by any statutory regulation. In that case, Culture Fitter is entitled to adjust its rates to the new terms and conditions of employment as of the date of the change. Final – General Terms and Conditions – 19 May 2021
The Client is not permitted to disclose data of Candidates proposed by Culture Fitter to third parties without Culture Fitter’s prior written consent. If the Client does not draw up an employment contract or otherwise employs a Candidate, the Client must immediately destroy this information.

Article 8 – Successful recruitment and selection

The Recruitment and Selection instruction will only be successfully fulfilled as soon as a Candidate introduced by Culture Fitter accepts an Employment Contract proposed by the Client or as soon as the Candidate is employed by the Client in some other way.
Successful fulfilment of the recruitment and selection Instruction also includes the situation in which a Candidate introduced by Culture Fitter to the Client enters into employment within 12 months of being introduced and/or if he works for the Client or an affiliated company in any other way, through third parties or otherwise. Except if the Client has made an explicit reservation in advance, the fee is also due if it emerges that the Candidate introduced by Culture Fitter is already known to the Client to a greater or lesser extent via a job application or otherwise.

Article 9 – Additional activities and changes

If during the performance of the Agreement it appears that the Agreement needs to be adjusted, or if further work is required at the request of the Client to achieve the desired Service from the Client, the Client is obliged to pay for this additional work according to the agreed rate. Culture Fitter is not obliged to comply with this request and may ask the Client to conclude a separate Agreement for this and/or to refer the Client to an authorised third party.
If the additional activities are the result of Culture Fitter’s negligence, if Culture Fitter has made an incorrect estimate or could reasonably have foreseen the relevant activities, these costs will not be passed on to the Client.

Article 10 – Prices and payment

The total “Recruitment Fee” owed by the Client to Culture Fitter is a fixed fee based on the first Gross Annual Income to be achieved by the Candidate employed by the Client. Flat-rate fees are determined for other products and depend on the scope and time of the project.
The “Recruitment Fee” referred to in the previous paragraph is paid as follows:

At the start of the Instruction, the Client owes Culture Fitter a starting fee;
● Upon acceptance of the Client’s offer by a Candidate, the Client will owe a completion fee;
● In some cases, a third payment can be added. The relevant payment must be made 6 months after the official commencement date of the Candidate’s employment.

liability regarding any lease car or other items made available, fixed periodic bonuses and profit distributions (assuming the objective has been fully achieved).

In principle, all prices are exclusive of turnover tax (VAT), unless agreed otherwise. Culture Fitter performs its services in accordance with the agreed rate.
If travel and accommodation costs arise because Culture Fitter has to travel for meetings or interviews with a Client or Candidate established abroad, these costs will be reimbursed to Culture Fitter. Before any costs are incurred, the Client and Culture Fitter will mutually agree on the possibilities.
The Client is obliged to fully reimburse the costs of third parties deployed by Culture Fitter after approval of the Client, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
The parties can agree that the Client must pay an advance. If an advance has been agreed, the Client must pay the advance before commencing the performance of the services.
The Client cannot derive any rights or expectations from a previously issued budget, unless the parties have explicitly agreed otherwise.
Culture Fitter is entitled to increase the applicable prices and rates in accordance with the applicable inflation rates each year. Other price changes during the term of the Agreement are only possible if and insofar as they have been explicitly laid down in the Agreement.
The Client must pay these costs all at once, without set-off or suspension, using the account number and details of Culture Fitter made known to the Client, within the specified payment term of no later than 14 days as stated on the invoice.
Complaints against the invoice amount must be received in writing by Culture Fitter within 7 calendar days of the invoice date of the invoice in question. Complaints do not suspend the Client’s payment obligation.
In the event of (involuntary) liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or a request for payment towards the Client, the payment and all other obligations of the Client under the Agreement become immediately due and payable.
If for whatever reason, the Client does not agree with any invoice, the Client will notify Culture Fitter of this in writing within 7 days of the invoice being sent. In the absence of such notification, the amount stated on the invoice is deemed to be due and the Client has waived any right to object.
The Client is not entitled to a refund of monies already paid if the agreed employment relationship or the employment contract between the Client and the Candidate is terminated prematurely due to causes related to a change in the job content, reorganisations, mergers and/or takeovers, the departure of a direct manager, a suspension of payments or bankruptcy or otherwise insufficient creditworthiness on the part of the Client.

Article 11 – Collection policy

If the Client does not fulfil its payment obligation, and has not fulfilled its obligation within the specified payment term, the Client will be in default by operation of law. Final – General Terms and Conditions – 19 May 2021

If Culture Fitter is required to provide information security on the basis of the Agreement, this security will meet the agreed specifications and a security level that, in view of the state of the art, the sensitivity of the data and the associated costs, will not be unreasonable.

Article 13 – Suspension and dissolution

Culture Fitter has the right to retain the data, data files, etc. it has received or realised if the Client has not yet (fully) fulfilled its payment obligations. This right remains in full force if a valid reason for Culture Fitter arises, which justifies suspension in that case.
Culture Fitter is entitled to suspend the fulfilment of its obligations as soon as the Client is in default with the fulfilment of any obligation arising from the Agreement, including late payment of its invoices. The suspension will be confirmed to the Client in writing immediately.
In that case, Culture Fitter is not liable for damage, for whatever reason, as a result of the suspension of its activities.

All costs incurred before the dissolution of the Agreement will in that case be paid by the Client. Culture Fitter is not obliged to compensate the Client for any losses caused by such dissolution.

Article 15 – Limitation of liability

In the event of an attributable shortcoming on the part of Culture Fitter, Culture Fitter is only obliged to pay any compensation if the Client has given Culture Fitter notice of default within 14 days of discovering the shortcoming and Culture Fitter has subsequently not remedied this shortcoming within a reasonable period. The notice of default must be submitted in writing and contain an accurate description/substantiation of the shortcoming, enabling Culture Fitter to respond adequately.
If the provision of Services by Culture Fitter leads to liability for Culture Fitter, that liability is limited to the total amount invoiced within the framework of the Agreement, but only with regard to the direct damage suffered by the Client, unless the damage is the result of intent or recklessness bordering on intent on the part of Culture Fitter.

The Client indemnifies Culture Fitter against all third-party claims as a result of a defect caused by a service provided by the Client to a third party, which service also consisted of Services provided by Culture Fitter, unless the Client can demonstrate that the damage was exclusively caused by the Service provided by Culture Fitter.

Article 16 – Confidentiality
