account of the client. Special wishes with regard to the delivery, packaging and transport of the mailing, samples and other articles must be brought to the attention of M+ in good time. Additional costs associated with these special assignments are for the account of the client.

7. RETURNS AND RETURN REIMBURSEMENT
Delivered company addresses are guaranteed up to one month after delivery with a return percentage of 2% maximum. For private addresses, a maximum of 5% applies. The Client is entitled to a return compensation of twice the invoiced address price for those numbers that exceed the stated maximums, provided that the address carriers have been sent to M+ within 30 days of delivery. Only official mail returns are eligible for this, shipments refused by addressees are not covered by this scheme. Foreign address material is guaranteed according to the terms and conditions set by the relevant foreign correspondents.

8. TELEMARKETING
M+ will select employees for these activities with the greatest possible care. However, M+ excludes any liability for any undesirable consequences of their actions, as a result of, for example, slips of the tongue, forgetting part of the telephone script or offer, etc., including any consequential damage caused as a result. Likewise, M+
take all necessary steps to ensure adequate fault-free operation of its communication links. Since M+ is highly dependent on third parties in this respect, it excludes any liability in this regard.

9. DELIVERY TIME
Unless agreed otherwise, delivery will be made to the home/company of the other party. Free delivery only takes place if and insofar as this has been agreed by M+ with the other party and is indicated on the invoice or otherwise. If the assignment cannot be carried out because the client has not provided the information or materials required for this purpose, M+'s delivery obligation will be suspended until this information or material has been provided. If the client fails to do so for more than one month, M+ is entitled to terminate the agreement and charge the client for all costs and loss of profit that have arisen in connection with this assignment, with a minimum of 20%. of the invoice value. Times of delivery or distribution of material and/or information are given in good faith, but are approximate and do not form part of the contract. M+ is not liable for any damage whatsoever caused by failure to deliver or distribute the material and/or information at the specified time or times.

10. CANCELLATION
In the event of cancellation of the assignment, M+ has the right, in accordance with the performance of its activities, to charge the associated costs to the client, with a minimum of 20% of the invoice value. In the event of cancellation of the assignment before the moment of actual execution by M+ and in the event that the client changes the agreed period, M+ will charge the client 20% of the quoted or agreed price.

11. FORCE MAJEURE
In this context, “force majeure” is understood to mean: any circumstance independent of the will of the parties or unforeseeable circumstances as a result of which fulfillment of the agreement can no longer reasonably be required by the other party. Force majeure will in any case include: strikes, riots, state of war and/or martial law, unexpected government measures, insofar as they affect the performance of the agreement, excessive absenteeism of employees of M+ and/or people involved in the performance of the agreement, business failures at M+ or its suppliers. M+ is not obliged to demonstrate the influence of the circumstances described above. If, in the opinion of M+, the force majeure will be of a temporary nature, it has the right to suspend the performance of the agreement until the circumstance causing the force majeure no longer occurs. If, in the opinion of M+, the force majeure situation is of a permanent nature, it has the right to suspend the performance of the agreement until the circumstance causing the force majeure no longer occurs. If, in the opinion of M+, the force majeure situation is of a permanent nature, then M+ has the right to dissolve the agreement in whole or in part by means of a written statement, without being obliged to pay any compensation. The latter also applies if M+ enjoys any advantage as a result of the force majeure. M+ is entitled to claim payment for the performances performed in the performance of the agreement in question, before the circumstance causing force majeure has become apparent. The party that believes that it is (or will be) in force majeure must immediately inform the other party.

12. ADVERTISEMENTS
Any complaints will only be dealt with by M+ if they have reached it directly in writing within 7 days after delivery of the relevant performance, with an accurate statement of the nature and grounds of the complaints. Complaints about invoices must also be submitted in writing within 7 days of the invoice date. After the expiry of this term, the client is deemed to have approved the performance delivered or the invoice, respectively. In that case, complaints will no longer be processed by M+. If the complaint is found to be justified by M+, this suspends the payment obligation of the client until the moment at which the complaint has been settled.

13. INSURANCE AND TRANSPORTATION
Goods travel at the risk of the client. Delays in the transport provided by M+, due to force majeure, are at the expense of the client. The material to be processed or delivered can, on request, be insured against theft, fraud, loss, loss and/or damage at the expense of the client. In the event of non-insurance by the client, M+ does not accept any liability for the aforementioned risks. The goods are insured from the moment they are received by M+, in particular against fire and water damage.

14. PAYMENT AND TERMINATION
Unless agreed otherwise in writing, payment must be made in cash without discount or set-off upon delivery, or by deposit or transfer to a bank or giro account designated by M+ within 14 days of the invoice date. The value date indicated on M+'s bank/giro statements is decisive and is therefore regarded as the payment date. All payments made by the client serve primarily to settle any interest and collection costs incurred by M+ and subsequently to settle the oldest outstanding invoices. If the client::
a. is declared bankrupt, assigns his estate, submits a request for suspension of payment, or if all or part of his property is seized,
b. dies or is placed under guardianship,
c. fails to comply with any obligation imposed on it by virtue of the Law or of these conditions,
d. fails to pay an invoice amount or part thereof within the period set for this,
e. proceeds to cessation or transfer of its business or an important part thereof, including the contribution of its business to a company to be established or already existing, or changes the object of its business, M+ has by the mere occurrence of one of the stated circumstances has the right either to dissolve the agreement or to claim in full any amount owed by the client on the basis of the services provided by M+, immediately and without any warning or notice of default being required, all without prejudice to our right to compensation of costs, damages and interest. If payment has not been made within the period stated in the previous article, the client will be in default by operation of law and will owe interest of 1.5% per (part of a) month on the outstanding amount from the invoice date. All judicial and extrajudicial costs to be incurred will be borne by the other party. The court costs also include all actual costs of legal and procedural assistance incurred during legal proceedings, which exceed the liquidation rate. The extrajudicial collection costs amount to at least 15%, with a minimum of EUR 150, of the amount owed by the other party, including the aforementioned interest.

15. LIABILITY
M+'s liability is limited to the amount covered by its insurance if and insofar as this liability is covered by its insurance. If the insurance does not pay out in any case or if the damage is not covered by the insurance, the liability is limited to the amount of the invoice. However, M+ is fully liable for the damage if there is intent or gross negligence on the part of M+ or its managerial subordinates.

16. ABROAD
Separate agreements must be made for assignments from foreign clients or clients where the execution takes place wholly or partly in or for the benefit of a foreign country. Insofar as not otherwise agreed, provisions of these general terms and conditions apply to the agreement.

17. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND RETENTION OF TITLE
Both during and after completion of the assignment given to him, the contractor retains all rights, in particular with regard to intellectual property, with regard to the advice, reports, sketches and designs, working methods, information, materials and telephone script and programs provided by him, whether or not in software form. In case of established use thereof, by the client other than expressly permitted by the agreement, the contractor is entitled to apply the provisions of article
14 as well as to re-indication of his property. The client will then also forfeit a fine of at least EUR 5,000 for each violation or each day that the client fails to comply with the contractor's request. The provisions of the previous paragraph apply mutatis mutandis in the event of early termination by one of the parties. The client is only indemnified after written approval by the contractor. In the event of the delivery of materials, information carriers or equipment, the contractor has a retention of title for this, until the client has fully fulfilled its payment obligation. Costs of rehabilitation are at the expense of the client. The client guarantees M+ at all times that the use of data provided by the client or otherwise will not bring us into conflict with legal regulations or protected rights of third parties. Furthermore, it fully indemnifies M+ against all direct and indirect consequences of claims that third parties may assert against us on account of breach of this guarantee.

18. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The client is not permitted to employ M+ employees who are engaged in the context of the assignment or to have them perform work in any other form without written permission from M+. This prohibition therefore includes employment contracts, contracts for services, contracts for the contracting of work, contracts for the provision of certain services and any other contract under which the said employee performs work for the client. Violation of this prohibition will result in an immediately due and payable fine of EUR 12,500 per violation, without prejudice to any further damage suffered by M+ as a result of such conduct. This stipulation also applies for a period of six months after the end of the assignment.

19. APPLICABLE LAW AND DISPUTES
Dutch law applies exclusively to all our offers, agreements and their implementation. All disputes, including those considered as such by only one party, arising out of or in connection with the agreement to which these terms and conditions apply or the relevant terms and conditions themselves and their interpretation or implementation, whether of a factual or legal nature, will be settled by the competent civil court within whose jurisdiction our place of residence is located, unless the subdistrict court has jurisdiction.
