Delivery Date provide credit information to LeaseWeb for
approval by LeaseWeb.

8.2 LeaseWeb may, at any time, by notice in writing impose a credit

any interest.

percent (5%); or (b) the percentage increase of the CPI for the

(1st) of January, unless stipulated otherwise by LeaseWeb in its
notification to Customer. In the event that the increase of the

Effective Date, the increase will be pro‐rated on the basis of the
number of months that have passed since the Effective Date.

9.3 In addition to Section 9.2, LeaseWeb shall be entitled to pass on
changes in any (license) fees or prices or charges for
(software)products: (i) used by LeaseWeb in the provision of

the additional (administrative) activities performed by
LeaseWeb and the costs of the mail service.

by LeaseWeb to Customer are payable by Customer to

consideration in the event that the complaint specifies the
relevant invoice(s) and provides proper motivation for the
complaint. In such case, the Parties will use commercially
reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute amicably within
twenty (20) days of LeaseWeb’s receipt of Customer’s
complaint, firstly at the level of each Party’s senior
management and – failing satisfactory resolution within fifteen
(15) days – secondly at the Parties’ executive level. In the event
Parties fail to resolve the dispute amicably within twenty (20)
days of LeaseWeb’s receipt of Customer’s complaint, each Party
shall be entitled to commence dispute resolution in accordance
with Section 27.

payment of an invoice. Customer’s right to suspend payment of
(part of) an invoice is limited to the amount of the invoice that

unjustified, Customer will immediately pay the outstanding
amount, plus interest in accordance with Section 9.11.

9.11 If Customer does not pay an invoice within the payment term,
in the event that such invoice has not been disputed in
accordance with Section 9.9, or Customer does not pay the
undisputed part of the invoice within the payment term,
Customer shall be in default by operation of law and LeaseWeb
will, without a warning or notice of default being required, be
entitled to charge Customer interest on such sum on a daily
basis from the due date until the date of payment with an
interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum, without any
prejudice to LeaseWeb’s other rights and remedies.

Customer for any taxes for which Customer has provided a valid
exemption certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to
LeaseWeb.
