General terms & conditions
Last updated: 2 July 2026
Article 1 — Definitions
In these terms: JLC means JLC Consultatie BV, established at Stadhuisplein 10, 5611 EM Eindhoven, the Netherlands, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 67351980; Client means the natural or legal person commissioning JLC; Agreement means any arrangement between JLC and the Client for the provision of services.
Article 2 — Applicability
These terms apply to all quotations, offers and agreements of JLC, unless agreed otherwise in writing. The applicability of any purchasing or other conditions of the Client is expressly rejected.
Article 3 — Quotations and offers
All quotations and offers are without obligation and remain valid for 30 days from their date, unless stated otherwise. Amounts quoted are exclusive of VAT. JLC cannot be held to a quotation that the Client can reasonably understand to contain an obvious mistake or clerical error.
Article 4 — Formation of the agreement
An agreement is formed when the Client accepts a quotation or proposal from JLC in writing (including by e-mail), or when JLC has started performance with the Client's consent.
Article 5 — Performance of the services
JLC performs the agreement to the best of its knowledge and ability and in accordance with good professional standards. JLC's obligations are best-efforts obligations, not obligations of result, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. JLC may engage third parties in the performance, including legal, tax and technical specialists.
Article 6 — Cooperation of the client
The Client shall ensure that all information and documents that JLC requires for the performance are provided in a timely, complete and correct manner. Delays or additional costs arising from a failure to do so are for the Client's account and risk.
Article 7 — Fees and payment
Services are provided at the agreed rates. Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date, without set-off or suspension. In the event of late payment the Client is in default by operation of law, and JLC may charge statutory commercial interest and reasonable collection costs.
Article 8 — Term, termination and cancellation
An agreement for a fixed term or a specific project ends by operation of law upon completion. Early termination is possible subject to a reasonable notice period; work already performed and costs already incurred remain payable. In the event of cancellation before commencement, JLC may charge the preparation costs already incurred.
Article 9 — Confidentiality
Both parties are bound to confidentiality regarding all confidential information obtained from each other or from another source in the context of the agreement. Information is deemed confidential if designated as such by a party or if this follows from the nature of the information.
Article 10 — Intellectual property
All documents prepared by JLC — reports, advice, analyses, plans and other materials — are intended solely for use by the Client within the purpose of the engagement. Disclosure or provision to third parties requires JLC's prior written consent.
Article 11 — Liability
JLC's liability is limited to direct damage and to a maximum of the amount invoiced for the engagement concerned or — for continuing agreements — the fees for the last three months. JLC is not liable for indirect damage, including consequential damage, lost profit and missed savings. Advice on, among other things, tokenisation, financing and investments does not constitute a guarantee of any result; decisions based on such advice are for the Client's account and risk. These limitations do not apply in the event of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of JLC.
Article 12 — Force majeure
JLC is not obliged to perform any obligation if prevented from doing so by force majeure, which includes failures of third parties, government measures, and circumstances at home or abroad beyond JLC's control. If the force majeure lasts longer than 60 days, either party may dissolve the agreement for the part not performed.
Article 13 — Governing law and disputes
All agreements with JLC are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be submitted exclusively to the competent court of the District Court of Oost-Brabant, the Netherlands, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute by mutual consultation.
Article 14 — Final provisions
If any provision of these terms proves void or voidable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the parties will consult on a replacement provision that approximates the purpose of the original provision as closely as possible. JLC may amend these terms; the most current version is available on this page.
