The Client can contact The Green Plus via the Website or email for one of the Services offered.

The Green Plus has the right to have certain activities performed by third parties.
When engaging third parties, The Green Plus will exercise due care and will consult with the Client in the selection of these third parties, as far as this is reasonably possible and customary in the relationship with the Client. The costs of engaging these third parties will be borne by the Client and will be charged by The Green Plus to the Client.
The Agreement can only be performed by The Green Plus if the Client provides complete and correct (contact) details to The Green Plus when concluding the Agreement. The Client will therefore ensure that all information, which The Green Plus indicates is necessary or which the Client should reasonably understand to be necessary for the performance of the Agreement, is provided to The Green Plus in a timely manner.
The Client shall ensure that The Green Plus can provide its Services in a timely and proper manner. If the Client does not comply with its agreements in this regard, it is obliged to compensate the resulting damage.
If a term has been agreed or specified for the performance of Services or delivery of Products, this is never a strict deadline. If a term is exceeded, the Client must give The Green Plus written notice of default. The Green Plus must be offered a reasonable term to still implement the Agreement.

Article 6 CO2 compensation

After concluding an Agreement for CO2 compensation, The Green Plus provides a tool with which (customers of) the Client can compensate the emission of the amount of CO2 of his trip when buying tickets, against payment of a certain price.
The Green Plus has developed its own emission calculation methodology, which can be accessed via API integration, based on the latest scientific insights. Using this tool, The Green Plus is able to calculate the required emissions for each type of travel mode. To compensate for these calculated emissions, Green Plus purchases its carbon credits on the market through official brokers. As soon as a Client has purchased a service from The Green Plus, The Green Plus will settle the carbon credits for its Client via The Green Plus' own register/account.
As soon as possible after the conclusion of an Agreement for the provision of CO2 compensation by The Green Plus for the Client, but no later than 12 months after the end of the financial year, the CO2 compensation will take place for the Client.
If the characteristics of CO2 credits from the Agreement between the parties are not specified in more detail or if the projects desired by the Client do not meet the independent verification for whatever reason, or if they produce insufficient CO2 credits to meet the Client's request The Green Plus is entirely free to choose another project of comparable quality to which the CO2 credits to be registered in the Client's name relate.
If there are changes in legislation and regulations in the country of origin of the CO2 credits and where the country of origin announces that the CO2 credits of the agreed project will be included in achieving its own NDC emission target, If desired, The Green Plus can make an effort to replace CO2 credits from a project of comparable quality. If The Green Plus is unable to supply the alternative CO2 credits within one year, the Parties are entitled to terminate the Agreement. With this contract termination there is no contractual liability for one of the Parties.
The Green Plus retains all rights at all times to the CO2 credits it has purchased for the Client or registered in the Client's name, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
The CO2 credits registered by The Geen Plus for or in the name of the Client may never be encumbered, sold, delivered or otherwise traded by the Client to or for the benefit of a third party, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
The Green Plus only guarantees the amount of the CO2 compensation it has supplied.
The Client is not authorized to unilaterally change the tonnage of CO2 referred to in the Agreement in the interim, unless the Client can submit demonstrable CO2 reduction measures to The Green Plus.

Article 7 Advice

When providing advice, The Green Plus only has an obligation of best efforts and no obligation of result. A best-efforts obligation is a contractual obligation to make the necessary efforts or to use certain resources to achieve the stipulated result, which means that The Green Plus cannot guarantee that the outcomes, results or expectations that the Client has when providing Services envisaged will actually be achieved.
The advice is given exclusively for the benefit of the Client. Third parties cannot derive any rights from this.
If an advisor is unable to attend, The Green Plus will arrange for a replacement. If The Green Plus cannot reasonably (timely) arrange for the replacement of an advisor, The Green Plus is not liable for any damage that the Client may suffer as a result. The Green Plus is only obliged to comply with agreements under the Agreement at a time to be determined in consultation with the Client.

Article 8 Amendment to the Agreement

If during the execution of the Agreement it appears that it is necessary for a proper execution to change or supplement it, The Green Plus and the Client will proceed to adjust the Agreement in good time and in mutual consultation.
If the Agreement is amended, including an addition, this constitutes an additional assignment. A separate agreement about the fee will be made in advance about this additional assignment. Without an additional quotation, the original conditions apply, whereby the extra Services are paid for at the agreed rate.
Not or not immediately executing the amended Agreement does not constitute a breach of contract on the part of The Green Plus and is no ground for the Client to terminate or dissolve the Agreement.

Article 9 Suspension, dissolution and early termination of the Agreement

The Green Plus is authorized to suspend the fulfillment of the obligations or to dissolve the Agreement if the Client does not, not fully or not timely fulfill the obligations under the Agreement, or if The Green Plus has good reason to fear that the Client will fail to fulfill those obligations, provided that The Green Plus has given the Client notice of default by means of a written reminder, whereby the Client is given a reasonable term for compliance with the obligations, and compliance is not forthcoming within this term.
Furthermore, The Green Plus is authorized to dissolve the Agreement, under the same conditions as referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, if circumstances arise of such a nature that fulfillment of the Agreement is impossible or if unaltered maintenance of the Agreement is not reasonably possible. can be required.
If the Client fails to fulfill its obligations arising from the Agreement, this non-compliance justifies dissolution and the Client is in default, The Green Plus is entitled to terminate the Agreement immediately and with immediate effect by means of a written statement to the Client, whereby The client, on account of default, is obliged to pay compensation or indemnification.

Article 10 Cancellation

Cancellation of the Agreement is no longer possible after the CO2 compensation has taken place. The CO2 compensation is made at the moment that the trip has actually taken place.

Article 11 Costs, remuneration and payment

All amounts stated in offers, quotations, invoices and agreements are in euros and include VAT, unless stated otherwise.
The Green Plus has the right to correct apparently incorrect errors in the quotation.
After the conclusion of an Agreement for CO2 compensation, the Client can use the tool intended for that purpose. Based on the use of this tool, monthly payment obligations for the Client towards The Green Plus arise on behalf of the Client's customers.
If a trip of the Client's customer is canceled for whatever reason, the compensation of the CO2 is logically no longer necessary and the amount already paid will be refunded to the Client.
Payment is made afterwards by means of invoicing via bank transfer or iDeal.
The invoice must be paid by the Client within 14 (fourteen) days.
If one or more cost price factors undergo an increase after the Agreement has been concluded - even if this occurs as a result of foreseeable circumstances - The Green Plus is entitled to increase the agreed price accordingly.
The Client is obliged to immediately inform The Green Plus of any inaccuracies in the payment details stated or provided.
If the Client fails to pay an invoice on time, the Client will be in default by operation of law, without further notice of default being required. The client will then owe the statutory interest. The interest on the amount due and payable will be calculated from the moment that the Client is in default until the moment of payment of the full amount owed.
If The Green Plus decides to collect a claim for non-payment of one or more unpaid invoices by judicial means, the Client is, in addition to the principal owed and the interest referred to in Article 12.8, also obliged to pay all reasonable legal and to reimburse extrajudicial costs. The compensation for judicial and extrajudicial costs incurred is determined in accordance with the then applicable Decree regarding compensation for extrajudicial collection costs

Article 12 Retention of title

All goods delivered by The Green Plus remain the property of The Green Plus, for as long as these goods have not been paid off or have not been paid in full.
Insofar as The Green Plus's retention of title is null and void through the formation of a business or otherwise, The Green Plus reserves the right to establish a non-possessory pledge on an item, as security for all that which the Client still owes or will owe to The Green Plus. The Client must establish this non-possessory pledge at The Green Plus's first request.

Exceeding the term does not entitle the Client to cancel the Agreement, or to refuse receipt or payment of the Products, nor does The Green Plus owe any compensation to the Client.
The Green Plus is not liable for errors or omissions of third parties engaged by it. By using the Services of The Green Plus, the Client grants The Green Plus the authority, if a third party engaged by The Green Plus wishes to limit its liability, to accept that limitation of liability also on behalf of the Client.

This provision does not exclude liability to the extent that liability may not be limited or excluded by law.

Article 14 Force majeure
