Terms and conditions

1. Applicability

These terms apply to every quotation, instruction and agreement between BrN Vastgoed (Chamber of Commerce 85679410) and the client. Any purchasing or other conditions of the client are expressly rejected unless we have accepted them in writing.

2. The instruction

An instruction comes into effect once the client has approved our written confirmation of instruction. We carry out the instruction to the best of our insight and ability, as an obligation of effort: we do not guarantee any particular outcome, transaction price or lending result.

The client provides all information necessary for performance in good time and warrants its accuracy. We are entitled to rely on that information in our advice.

3. Valuations and advice

A valuation, market indication or rental value advice is a substantiated professional assessment at a given date and subject to the assumptions stated in the report. It is not a formal appraisal within the meaning of the Dutch NRVT regulations unless expressly agreed.

Our reports are intended for the client and for the purpose stated in the report. Use by third parties or for any other purpose is permitted only with our written consent; we accept no liability in that regard.

4. Fees and payment

Our fee consists of a fixed sum, an hourly rate or a commission on the transaction value, as recorded in the confirmation of instruction. Travel and disbursement costs and the costs of third parties are charged separately. All amounts are exclusive of VAT.

Invoices are payable within fourteen days. In the event of late payment we are entitled to charge statutory commercial interest and reasonable collection costs, and to suspend the work.

5. Confidentiality

Both parties treat all confidential information received from the other strictly in confidence and do not share it with third parties without prior consultation. This obligation survives the end of the instruction.

We sell off-market where you wish: information about your business or property is shared with interested parties only on your express instruction.

6. Liability

Our liability is limited to direct loss and to a maximum of the fee charged for the instruction over the preceding twelve months, save in the case of intent or wilful recklessness.

We are not liable for indirect loss, consequential loss, missed transactions or lost profit, nor for loss resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the client or from advice given by third parties engaged by the client.

7. Duration and termination

An instruction may be terminated in writing by either party subject to one month’s notice. Work performed and costs incurred are settled up to the end date. Where the instruction carries a commission, the entitlement to that commission survives if, within six months of termination, a transaction is concluded with a party introduced by us.

8. Intellectual property

Reports, models, spreadsheets and presentations remain our intellectual property. The client may use them for the agreed purpose; reproduction or publication beyond that requires our written consent.

9. Complaints and governing law

Complaints should be submitted in writing within thirty days of the work concerned so that we can resolve them. All agreements are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be submitted to the competent court in the district of our place of business.
