General conditions
All offers made and agreements entered into by De Kleine Werf with respect to the rental of space in the premises of De Kleine Werf are subject to these general conditions. Deviations thereof must be expressly agreed upon in writing.
De Kleine Werf can give the other party an option on the facilities of De Kleine Werf. De Kleine Werf shall then make an offer or quotation stating the period of validity and costs of this option. The maximum period of validity is fourteen days, unless otherwise expressly agreed upon in writing. The counterparty must notify De Kleine Werf within the expiration of the period of validity that he wishes to use the facilities of De Kleine Werf. If this does not happen, the offer or quotation of De Kleine Werf expires and a 5% cancellation fee will be charged.
The offer or quotation is finally converted into a reservation after a signed location rental contract and payment of an advance invoice is received by the other party.
Prices quoted by The Little Yard are preliminary and include any fees for gas, water and electricity. The final price or prices will be determined at the time of the performance(s) to be provided. Additional consumption relating to, inter alia, duration of time, additional facilities/deployment of the manager or on behalf of the manager will be charged to the other party afterwards on a post-calculation basis. An amount of €100.00 excluding VAT will be charged each time for use of extraordinary electricity facilities.
Payment must be made, if not otherwise agreed upon, within fourteen days of invoice date, without right to discount, set-off or suspension. The Kleine Werf requires an advance payment of 50% of the rent upon acceptance of the contract. The Kleine Werf may also require a deposit from the other party in special cases. Payments are always applied first to costs, interest and then to the oldest invoice. If payment of a sent invoice has not taken place within fourteen days after the invoice date, the Kleine Werf is entitled to charge the counterparty a compensation for loss of interest in the amount of the statutory 2% - counting from the invoice date - over the total amount of the invoice. The Kleine Werf is further entitled to claim from the counterparty, in addition to the principal sum and interest, all collection costs caused by non-payment, both judicial and extrajudicial.
De Kleine Werf charges a taxed rental. By signing the lease, the tenant agrees to this taxed rental.
The counterparty is entitled to cancel a concluded agreement without giving reasons. In that case the counterparty is obliged to pay to De Kleine Werf, without notice of default being required, a compensation equal to the part of the total price owed as mentioned below. The compensation due shall be paid within 30 days after issuance of an invoice to that effect by De Kleine Werf. Article 5 of these conditions shall apply accordingly. This compensation amounts to 10% of the rent in case of cancellation up to ten weeks before the start date of the rent and 50% of the rent in case of cancellation less than ten weeks and more than four weeks before the start date of the rent. The full rental price shall be due if the other party cancels less than four weeks before the commencement date of the rental or does not make use of the rented object, for whatever reason, even in the event of force majeure.
De Kleine Werf does not accept any liability for possible unavailability of the location concerned on the agreed day, except in case the cause is directly attributable to any act or omission of De Kleine Werf. Force majeure shall in any case be understood to mean business impeding circumstances, such as strike, fire, frost, flood, refusal of permits by the government, riot, mobilization, war, etc.
The counterparty is obliged to use the rented object only for that purpose for which the agreement with De Kleine Werf was entered into and which purpose was thereby communicated to De Kleine Werf. The counterparty warrants to De Kleine Werf for all persons who, at the invitation of the counterparty or otherwise because of any relationship with the counterparty, are in or in the vicinity of the rented by De Kleine Werf
are present at the location rented to the other party. The customer is liable to the Kleine Werf for all damage caused by these persons, for whatever reason and however arising, without prejudice to any claims which the Kleine Werf may have against these persons. The contracting party shall in all reasonableness see to it that people living in the vicinity of the rented property and, as the case may be, the buildings attached to the rented property are not inconvenienced by the activities of the contracting party. The counterparty must comply with the specific noise standards applicable to the location. De Kleine Werf will inform the other party about this. Noise standards tend to be exceeded as soon as amplified music is used. The counterparty must comply with the house rules of De Kleine Werf.
The other party guarantees that the activities to be held at the location will in no way be offensive, insulting or contrary to the law or good morals, all this at the discretion of De Kleine Werf. In case of violation of this article, De Kleine Werf is authorized to terminate the agreement with immediate effect and reserves the right to claim compensation for lost rental income.
The agreed period of use also includes the time needed for bringing in and removing goods belonging to the renter in and from the rented location. The permission of De Kleine Werf is required for exceeding the period of use of the rented premises, respectively for assembly and disassembly for the event which takes place outside the agreed upon rental period.
Immediately after an event, the location must be cleared, (swept) cleaned and delivered in the condition in which the renter found it, all to the satisfaction of The Kleine Werf. The other party is responsible for the removal of materials, waste, etc. The bringing in and removal of goods to and from the location must take place under the supervision and on the instruction of De Kleine Werf or someone on behalf of it.
The other party is fully responsible, and must take timely care, to obtain permits to the extent required for the meeting in accordance with legal regulations.
Except for explicit written permission, the other party is not allowed to make any constructional provisions, temporary extra connections etc. in the building, including hammering nails in walls, floor or woodwork, hanging lights etc. to the building, all in the broadest sense of the word. Operating technical equipment of the rented premises as well as entering the service areas may only take place in consultation with De Kleine Werf and is entirely at one's own risk. Insofar as applicable, a plan of action must be submitted by or on behalf of the other party to De Kleine Werf for approval no later than six weeks prior to the event, which plan must in any case include the power supplies to be used as well as the layout of the location. De Kleine Werf is obliged to have reviewed this plan within one week. Equipment used on the location by or on behalf of the lessee must comply with NEN 3040.
De Kleine Werf is not liable for the belongings of third parties located in the venue and is in no way liable for damage or injury to persons and property.
The Small Yard works together exclusively with two regular caterers. It is not possible for the other party to suggest their own caterer.
