Client shall actively inform End Users of the obligations and restrictions under these terms and monitor that all use shall be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in accordance with applicable safety standards and best practices.
If and insofar as Tabular makes products or services of third parties available to Client or grants access to these products or services, the terms of the third parties in question apply to these products or services in the relationship between Tabular and Client and replace the provisions in these general terms that depart from those third party terms, provided that Client has been informed by Tabular about the applicability of the (licensing or sales) terms of those third parties and Client has been given a reasonable opportunity to take note of those terms. Contrary to the previous sentence, Client cannot invoke a failure on the part of Tabular to meet the aforementioned obligation if Client is a party as referred to in article 6:235 paragraph 1 or paragraph 3 of the Dutch Civil Code.
If and insofar as the terms of third parties in the relationship between Client and Tabular referred to above prove to be inapplicable or are declared inapplicable for any reason whatsoever, these general terms apply in full.
The applicability of any of the Client's purchase or other terms is explicitly excluded.
If any provision of the terms of use is null and void or is voided, the other provisions of this terms shall remain fully in effect. Parties shall, in this case, consult each other for the purpose of agreeing to new provisions to replace the null and void or voided provisions.
Without prejudice to the provisions of article 1.3, the provisions of these Terms prevail if a conflict should arise about any of the arrangements made by parties, unless parties have explicitly departed from these Terms in writing, with reference to these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of different sections of these Terms, the provisions of a prior section apply, unless parties have explicitly agreed otherwise.
Tabular may make amendments to these Terms of Use. In case of an amendment, Tabular will give Client at least 30 days notice thereof. An amendment will be considered to be accepted by Client and will enter into force on the date determined by Tabular, if Client does not reject the amendment within 30 days following the notification thereof. If Client rejects the amendment, Tabular will be entitled to terminate the Agreement by giving at least 30 days notice of termination with effect from the end of a calendar month. In that case Tabular shall refund all amounts prepaid by Client and are no longer due.

Article 4. Term, termination and cancellation

From the date of signing up for subscription and/or creating an account, an Agreement between Tabular and Client will be entered for the term Parties agreed to, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Client is not entitled to terminate (for convenience) an Agreement that has been entered into for a definite period of time before the end of the term.
After the end of the term agreed to, the Agreement shall be tacitly extended for the same period, unless Client or Tabular terminates (for convenience) the Agreement in writing and/or via the ‘team settings’ in Tabular’s Service prior to the end of the current term.
Client is entitled to upgrade the subscription at any time per instant, while a subscription downgrade is only performed at the end of the current term.
Either party is exclusively entitled to terminate the Agreement for breach following an imputable failure of the other party to meet it is obligations under the agreement if the other party, in all cases after a written notice of default has been served that is as detailed as possible and in which the other party is granted a reasonable period of time to remedy the breach, should still imputably fail to meet any of its essential obligations under the agreement. Client’s payment obligations and all obligations of Client or a third party contracted by Client to cooperate and/or to provide information apply in all cases as essential obligations under the Agreement.
If, at the time of the termination for breach, Client has already received goods or services in the performance of the Agreement, this performance and the relevant payment obligations cannot be undone unless Client proves that Tabular is in default with respect to the essential part of the performance due. With due regard to the provisions of the preceding sentence, sums invoiced by Tabular prior to the termination for breach in connection with what has already been properly performed or delivered in the performance of the Agreement remain due in full and become immediately payable at the time of the termination for breach.
Either party may terminate the Agreement in writing, in whole or in part, without notice of default being required and with immediate effect, if the other party is granted a suspension of payments, whether or not provisional, a petition for bankruptcy is filed against the other party or the company of the other party is liquidated or dissolved other than for restructuring purposes or for a merger of companies. Tabular may also terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, without notice of default being required and with immediate effect, if a direct or indirect change occurs in the decisive control of Client’s company.

The prices for services delivered by Tabular are determined on Tabular’s website.
If it should be apparent from the Agreement that Client consists of several natural persons and/or legal persons, each of these persons is jointly and severally liable to Tabular for the performance of the Agreement.
Where the activities performed by Tabular and the sums due by Client for these activities are concerned, the information in Tabular's administration provides full evidence, without prejudice to Client's right to provide evidence to the contrary.
Tabular shall be entitled to yearly adjust applicable prices, in writing and in accordance with the CBS (Dutch Central Statistics Bureau) Consumer Price Index figure (series: all households 2015 = 100). Also, Tabular is entitled to adjust, in writing and with due observance of a term of at least three (3) months the applicable prices and rates. If Client does not agree to the adjustment in this latter case Tabular shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement in writing within thirty days following notice of the adjustment, which termination shall take effect on the date on which the new prices and/or rates would take effect.
Tabular shall issue invoices to Client in advance for the relevant period. Client is neither entitled to suspend any payments nor to set off any of the sums due.
If Client should fail to pay the sums due or does not pay these on time, the statutory interest for commercial agreements is payable by Client on any outstanding sum, without a reminder or notice of default being required. If Client should fail to pay the sum due even after a reminder or notice of default, Tabular can pass on the claim for collection and Client is obliged to pay, within reason and in addition to the total sum due at that time, all judicial and extrajudicial costs, including all costs charged by external experts – all of which is without prejudice to any of Tabular’s statutory and contractual rights.
