Article 15: Payment
1. We may always request (partial) prepayment or other security for payment from you.
2. Unless we agree otherwise:
a. for orders via our website, you pay as indicated on the website;
b. for other orders, payment will be made in cash on delivery/pick-up.
3. Have we agreed with you on payment on account? Then you must pay within 30 days of the invoice date. The correctness of the invoice is established if you do not object within this payment period.
4. Did you not pay (in full) within the payment term? Then you will owe us default interest in the amount of 2% per month, to be calculated cumulatively over the principal sum. Parts of a month will be counted as full months. What does this cumulative monthly interest mean? In the first month after expiry of the payment term, we calculate the interest on the principal sum. In every subsequent month that you do not pay, we will calculate the interest on the principal amount plus the interest already accrued in the previous month(s).
5. For consumers, we charge a default interest rate of 6% per year, unless the statutory interest rate is higher. In that case, the statutory interest rate applies.
6. If your payment is still not made after a reminder, we may also charge you extrajudicial collection costs amounting to 15% of the invoice amount with a minimum of € 40.00.
7. When sending a reminder, we will give consumers at least 14 days after receipt of this reminder to pay. If payment is still not made, the extrajudicial collection costs will be for the consumer’s account:
a. 15% of the amount of the principal sum over the first € 2,500.00 of the claim (with a minimum of € 40.00);
b. 10% of the amount of the principal sum over the next € 2,500.00 of the claim;
c. 5% of the amount of the principal sum over the next €5,000.00 of the claim;
d. 1% of the amount of the principal sum over the next € 190,000.00 of the claim;
e. 0.5% of the excess of the principal sum.
All this with an absolute maximum of €6,775.00.
8. For the calculation of the extrajudicial collection costs we are allowed to increase the principal sum of the claim after expiry of 1 year with the default interest accrued in that year.
9. Does your payment remain outstanding? Then we are entitled – by a written statement addressed to you – to dissolve the agreement or suspend our obligations under the agreement until you pay or give us proper security for this. We have this right of suspension even before you are in default of payment, if we have good reason to doubt your creditworthiness.
10. Payments received by us will be applied first to all interest and costs due and then to the longest outstanding payable invoices, unless you indicate in writing at the time of payment that it relates to a later invoice.
11. You may not set off our claims against counterclaims you believe you have against us. This also applies if you apply for (temporary) suspension of payment or are declared bankrupt.
12. The previous paragraph does not apply to consumers.
