OVERDUE PAYMENT Voorbeeldclausules

OVERDUE PAYMENT. 1. The consumer is in default once the payment date has passed. The Entrepreneur sends a payment reminder once the date has passed and gives the consumer the chance to pay within fourteen days of receiving this payment reminder. 2. If, after the date stated in the payment reminder, there is still no payment and the consumer is not able to plead circumstances beyond his control, the Entrepreneur has the right to charge interest, once the payment date has passed. This interest is equal to the statutory interest plus 3% on an annual basis over the amount due. 3. If the consumer remains in default of payment after the payment reminder has been sent, the Entrepreneur also has the right to increase the amount due by adding collection charges including judicial- and extrajudicial costs. 4. Extrajudicial costs include all the costs that the Entrepreneur has to charge for the services of lawyers, enforcement agents and anyone he requires for the recovery of the amount due. 5. The extrajudicial costs are determined as follows: 15% over the first € 2500 of the amount due; 10% over the next € 2500 of the amount due; 5% over the following € 5000 of the amount due; 1% over the following € 15,000 of the amount due. 6. Any complaints about invoices should be submitted to the Entrepreneur, preferably in writing and adequately described and explained, within a reasonable period after the receipt of the invoice in question.
