GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS INC.LEGAL B.V.
- INC.LEGAL B.V. (‘INC.’) is a private limited liability company practicing law in an integrated structure between lawyers and advisors. Upon request, a list will be provided of individuals who (via their holding companies) hold shares in INC.
- Engagements granted to INC. are exclusively accepted and performed subject to these general terms and conditions. Acceptance by INC. of a proposal from a client that refers to general terms and conditions used by the client does not constitute acceptance of such terms and conditions.
- All engagements are exclusively accepted and performed by INC. and not by the individual lawyer or advisor. Articles 7:404 and 7:407(2) of the Dutch Civil Code do not apply to engagements accepted by or on behalf of INC. INC. reserves the right to have the work performed (in part) by other lawyers, tax advisors, or legal professionals, as deemed necessary. External counsel will be carefully selected by INC., preferably in consultation with the client.
- INC. is not liable for any errors or shortcomings by third parties engaged by it on behalf of the client (including subcontractors). INC. is authorized by the client to accept any liability limitations of such third parties on behalf of the client. Any third parties may rely on these general terms and conditions in the same manner as INC., with the provisions applicable to INC. also applying to them. This also applies to individuals or entities who (directly or indirectly) perform work for or on behalf of INC.
- INC.’s contractual and non-contractual liability for damages arising from or related to the performance of engagements, including any shortcomings therein, is limited to the amount paid out under INC.’s professional liability insurance in the relevant case, plus INC.’s deductible under the terms of the relevant policy. INC. has obtained professional liability insurance from a reputable insurer with a coverage limit of €2,500,000 per claim. A copy of the insurance policy is available upon request.
- If the aforementioned professional liability insurance does not provide coverage, INC.’s contractual and non-contractual liability for damages arising from or related to the performance of engagements, including any shortcomings therein, is limited to € 100,000 (in words: one hundred thousand euros) per claim. The performance of engagements by INC. is exclusively for the benefit of the client. Third parties cannot derive any rights from the work performed for the client.
- INC.’s fees for services are invoiced monthly unless otherwise agreed, with a payment term of 14 days. In case of late payment, INC. is entitled to charge statutory (commercial) interest.
- INC. does not maintain a client fund trust (stichting derdengelden) or any bank account designated for holding client funds. Consequently, INC. is not responsible for handling, receiving, or holding client funds on behalf of clients. All financial transactions, including payments and disbursements, must be made directly to a bank account held by the client or the relevant third party.
- All engagements granted to INC. are subject to the ‘Dispute Resolution Protocol INC.’ that can be found here. Any disputes arising from the formation and/or performance of services by INC., including disputes regarding invoices, will first be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution Protocol.
- All existing and future legal relationships between the client and INC. are governed by Dutch law. Without prejudice to Article 9, any disputes will be submitted to the competent court in the district of Midden-Nederland (Utrecht) in the first instance.
