3. Upon request, and following written confirmation by le Bump, a payment scheme is possible for le Bump's exclusive line, in which case it is possible to pay in a maximum of 3 equal installments.
4. If the client fails to make payment in accordance with a payment scheme, the whole amount is immediately claimable without further notice.

5. In case of failure to adhere to a payment scheme, any discounts granted by le Bump will cease to apply with retrospective effect and/or le Bump is entitled to immediately invoice all activities which have been performed and which have not yet been invoiced, to apply a payment period of 14 days, and to request security or an advance payment for any further activities which (will or must) be performed.
6. Payments made by the client will always be allocated first in payment of any penalties, interest or expenses, and only thereafter in settlement of the outstanding invoices, whereby the invoices which have been longest outstanding will be settled first, regardless of whether the client states that a remittance serves to pay a different invoice.
7. For businesses and legal persons: If the client is a business or legal person and the amount invoiced by le Bump is not received by le Bump within the stated payment period, the client is automatically liable to pay extrajudicial collection costs of 15% of the outstanding amount, subject to a minimum of € 150. Failure to pay on time will also result, without warning, in the client being liable to pay a penalty of 10% of the initial principal amount, subject to a minimum of € 50. The unpaid amount shall be increased on the day on which the payment period has expired by the addition of interest of 1% per month of the invoice amount, until the day on which payment in full is received, subject to a maximum of € 500. Interest on part of a month shall be calculated as a full month.
8. For consumers: If the client is a natural person and is not acting in the course of a trade or profession, the overdue amount payable to le Bump will be increased by the addition of the extrajudicial collection costs, subject to a minimum amount of € 40, in accordance with the Extrajudicial Collection Costs (Fees) Decree. This amount is automatically payable if the client has not paid le Bump in full within 14 days of the day on which a payment reminder is received. For the amount of these costs, reference is made to the statutory scale charges for extrajudicial collection: https://www.rechtspraak.nl/voor-advocaten-en-juristen/reglementen-procedures-en-formulieren/civiel/paginas/staffel-buitengerechtelijke-incassokosten.aspx.

Interest on part of a month shall be calculated as a full month.

Article 8 – Retention of title and right of retention

Article 11 – Force majeure

1. In addition to the provisions of section 6:75 CC, a failure by le Bump in the performance of an obligation towards the client will not be attributable to le Bump in the case of a circumstance which is independent of the will of le Bump, as a result of which the performance of its obligations towards the client is impeded in whole or in part, or due to which performance of its obligations cannot reasonably be demanded of le Bump. These circumstances shall include, inter alia, breach of contract by suppliers or other third parties, unsuitability or late delivery of material supplied by third parties, power failures, fire, computer viruses and hacks, strikes, transport disruption, illness, disruption of work, government measures, terrorist attacks, the illness of the artist associated with le Bump who is creating the artwork, war, natural disasters and pandemics or epidemics.
2. If such a situation arises, le Bump's obligations are suspended for as long as it is unable to fulfill its obligations. If the aforesaid situation continues for 30 days or longer, parties will consult together to search for a solution. If a solution has not been found within 7 days of the above period, parties are entitled to terminate the contract in whole or in part, in writing. In that case, le Bump is not bound to pay compensation for damage or expenses, even if le Bump has benefited from the incidence of force majeure.
