Terms and conditions Privacy statement Model service agreement Print
Terms for using the network of XXXXXX. In short: we bring independent IT professionals and clients together; you make the arrangements about the work yourselves.
Courtesy translation. If there is any difference, the Dutch text prevails.
XXXXXX (hereinafter "we" or "the Platform"), established at XXXXXX (straat, postcode, plaats), registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number XXXXXX, provides an online network (website and app) where independent IT professionals find each other and where assignments and requests from clients are shared.
These terms apply to every use of the Platform by members and to anyone who posts an assignment or request via the Platform. By creating an account you agree to these terms and to our privacy statement.
The Platform is a meeting place. We put members and clients in touch with each other, among other things by showing assignments and by presenting requests from clients to suitable members.
We are not a party to the Agreement between client and contractor. We are not an employer, a client or a temping agency. We do not decide who carries out an assignment, how it is carried out or for what fee. Payments do not go through us: client and contractor agree on price, invoicing and payment themselves and settle these between them.
We do not guarantee that you will receive assignments, that a client will pay or that a contractor will deliver the agreed quality. A selection or invitation by us is not a judgement of a member's quality.
You can only become a member as an independent entrepreneur (registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce) and by invitation. You provide correct and complete details and keep them up to date.
Your account is personal. Keep your login details secret and preferably enable two-step verification. Notice any misuse? Report it immediately. You are responsible for what happens through your account.
We may refuse a registration and block an account temporarily or permanently if these terms are violated, if there is doubt about the accuracy of details, or if this is necessary for the security of the Platform or other members.
You declare that you work as an independent entrepreneur, at your own expense and risk. You are yourself responsible for your tax and social security position, your administration, your taxes and your insurance (such as liability insurance and, if applicable, professional indemnity insurance).
For an assignment, the arrangements between you and the client apply. Whether there is a contract for services or an employment relationship depends on how you actually work together and not only on what is on paper. Make sure your arrangements and your practice match.
We provide a model agreement as a tool. It has not been assessed or approved by the Dutch Tax Authorities and is not legal or tax advice. Seek advice where necessary.
You use the Platform honestly and carefully. Among other things, this means that you:
We may remove or modify content that violates these terms or the law.
You are responsible for the content of assignments and replies that you post. A rate indication is only an indication. Responding to an assignment or indicating interest in a request does not oblige you to enter into an Agreement.
For requests from external clients (via the help form) we first show you an anonymous description. We share the client's contact details only with the member who will carry out the assignment. You use those details solely to answer and carry out the request and you do not share them with others. You are yourself responsible for that data under privacy legislation.
The Agreement is concluded solely between client and contractor. We are not involved in it and are not liable for its performance or for payment.
After an assignment that was completed via the Platform, client and contractor can rate each other. A rating is honest, based on a real collaboration and not influenced by a reward or threat. A rating is visible to other members.
Do you consider a rating incorrect or unlawful? Report it to us at info@XXXXXX. We will look into it and can remove a rating if it is demonstrably untrue, insulting or unlawful. We do not change the content of a rating.
The label "KvK verified" means that at a certain moment we manually checked that the KvK number provided exists and belongs to this member. It is not a judgement on quality, creditworthiness or solvency. If the number changes, the label lapses.
Certifications and other profile details are provided by the member. We do not check them unless we expressly state so.
Use of the Platform is currently free of charge. We may later introduce a subscription or another form of payment. We will announce this at least 60 days in advance. You can then cancel your account without owing anything for the period before the new terms take effect.
We do our best to keep the Platform well accessible, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, disruptions and changes may temporarily limit use.
The rights to the Platform, the texts and the design rest with us or our licensors. You keep the rights to what you post yourself (such as your profile text and logo). You grant us the right to display that content within the Platform to the extent necessary for the service, and you guarantee that you are entitled to do so.
How we handle personal data is set out in our privacy statement. Personal data of clients that you receive via the Platform is processed by you as an independent controller and in accordance with the GDPR.
We are not liable for damage caused by or in connection with an Agreement, for acts or omissions of members or clients, for the accuracy of data posted by others or for an assignment not going ahead.
Our liability for other damage is limited to direct damage and to a maximum of [AMOUNT: to be determined by a lawyer] per event. We are not liable for indirect damage, such as lost profit, missed assignments or loss of data.
These limitations do not apply in the case of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part, or to the extent that the law does not allow liability to be excluded.
You indemnify us against claims from third parties arising from your content on the Platform, your use of it or your work for a client.
You can have your account deleted at any time via info@XXXXXX. We may end the membership with a reasonable notice period, and immediately in the event of a serious violation.
After termination we delete or anonymise your data in accordance with the privacy statement. Ratings you have given may remain visible anonymously, so that the reputation of other members is not lost.
Do you see an assignment, reply or profile that is not acceptable? Use the report button on the assignment or email info@XXXXXX. We assess reports as quickly as reasonably possible.
We may change these terms. In the case of a substantive change we will let you know in advance and ask you to agree again. If you do not agree, you can have your account deleted.
These terms and the use of the Platform are governed by Dutch law. We submit disputes to the competent court in the district where we are established, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. We first try to resolve a dispute together.
These terms are also available in Dutch and German. If there is any difference between the versions, the Dutch text prevails.
