Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 22 May 2026
1. Definitions
VDH Agency: the sole proprietorship operated by Lars van der Hoek, established in the Netherlands.
Client: the natural or legal person entering into an agreement with VDH Agency.
Services: all work performed by VDH Agency, including SEO/SEA, social media management and website development.
2. Applicability
These terms and conditions apply to all quotations, offers and agreements between VDH Agency and the Client. Deviations are only valid if agreed in writing.
3. Quotations and Agreements
All quotations are non-binding and valid for 30 days unless otherwise stated. An agreement is established by written confirmation (email) by VDH Agency, or by commencement of work.
4. Performance of Services
VDH Agency performs assignments to the best of its knowledge and ability. VDH Agency has a best-efforts obligation, not a results obligation, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.
The Client is responsible for timely delivery of all required information, materials and access. Delays resulting from the Client failing to provide information in a timely manner are not the responsibility of VDH Agency.
5. Pricing and Payment
Rates are agreed per assignment or monthly as stated in the quotation. Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed.
In case of late payment, VDH Agency is entitled to suspend work and charge statutory interest.
6. Intellectual Property
All content produced by VDH Agency (texts, designs, videos) remains the property of VDH Agency until full payment has been received. After full payment, rights transfer to the Client, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
7. Confidentiality
Both parties commit to maintaining confidentiality regarding all confidential information obtained in the context of the agreement.
8. Liability
VDH Agency's liability is limited to the amount charged for the relevant assignment. VDH Agency is not liable for indirect damages, consequential damages or loss of profit.
VDH Agency does not guarantee specific search results or ranking positions in search engines, as these depend on external factors outside VDH Agency's control.
9. Termination
Monthly services may be terminated by either party with one calendar month's notice, unless otherwise agreed in writing. One-time projects cannot be cancelled midway; work already performed will be invoiced.
10. Governing Law and Disputes
All agreements are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will preferably be resolved by mutual agreement. If this fails, the competent court in the Netherlands has exclusive jurisdiction.
