    Any shortfalls and surpluses will be set off against one another. TW is only liable for Stock discrepancies if and insofar as, taking into account the calculation used in the registration of the stock, the shortfall (missing items) surpass any surpluses by at least 1% of the number of Goods handled under the Agreement each year. TW will notify the Client as soon as possible of any change to its stock administration that does not result from the Receipt and release of Goods. It is explicitly agreed that these Conditions also govern the liability of TW for stock discrepancies, including the liability limits as described in Article 5 Paragraph 3.

  11. If TW is held liable outside contract for damage or loss of Goods or delay in delivery by a party who is not a party to the agreement, including a transport agreement concluded by or on behalf of TW, the liability of the latter will not exceed that stipulated by the agreement.

Article 8 – Obligations of the Client

The Client is obliged:
  1. to promptly furnish TW with the information and documents relating to the Goods and the handling thereof, of which it knows or should know that such are of importance to TW, unless the Client can prove that TW has or should have such information in its possession. The Client guarantees the correctness of the provided information and that the provided instructions and Goods are in accordance with current laws and regulations;
  2. if Goods and/or activities are subject to government regulations, including customs, excise and tax regulations, the Client will promptly provide TW with all information and documents required by the latter to comply with said regulations.

TW all times reserves the right whether or not to fulfil such instruction;
  3. to make the agreed Goods, in proper packaging, available to TW or its Auxiliary persons at the agreed place, time and manner, accompanied by a waybill for road transport (if necessary) and any other documents agreed and/or required by law;

The Client can suffice with providing security as deemed appropriate by TW for all that the Client may owe after the termination of the Agreement, insofar as known and/or can be estimated in all reasonableness by TW;
  10. to observe confidentiality towards third parties with regard to all facts and information acquired exclusively in the performance of the Agreement, with the exception of information that must be provided by law to the competent authorities and information exchange with third parties as a part of normal business operations.
  11. to take immediate receipt of the Goods and/or to remove these, if in the opinion of TW these constitute such a hazard or nuisance that it cannot be demanded of TW that it keep these in storage any longer; In deviation of the provisions of Article 5 Paragraph 2, the release and loading of Goods will take place by or on behalf of the Client and for its risk and account.

  6. The Client will at the first request of TW furnish security for all that the Client owes or will owe TW. This obligation also exists if the Client itself has already furnished security for payment.

Article 18 – Right of suspension

If TW carries out work in the organisation of the Client pursuant to the Agreement, it is at all times entitled to suspend this work – also if this leads to the exceeding of deadlines – for the time that (work) circumstances occur on site which, in the opinion of TW, entail risks with regard to the safety or health of its employees or auxiliary personnel.

  5. All images, drawings, information and/or ideas incorporated in or attached to an offer, action, quotation or agreement are exclusively for use in the context of the order to be issued or to be issued, and may not be used by the Contract Party for other purposes or be provided to third parties.

Article 22 – Data processing

  1. The purpose of the data processing by TW is to execute the Agreement between TW and a Client, subject to any legal obligation on TW at any time to further process the data.
  2. TW stores the data of a Client and all data resulting from the execution of the Agreement in a secure, digital environment, in which it applies an adequate level of security. TW makes every effort to prevent unauthorised or unlawful processing of the data, or to protect the data against accidental loss, destruction or damage.
  3. As far as the physical storage of data by TW is concerned, TW ensures that unauthorised persons do not have access to these data.
  4. TW shall not retain the data for longer than necessary, with due observance of the applicable legislation (such as, for example, the administrative retention obligation of 7 years of article 2:10 paragraph 3 of the Dutch Civil Code).
  5. A Client remains responsible for the correctness and security of the data (e.g. by means of ‘end-to-end encryption’) when transferring the data to TW. By sending and thereby providing the data to TW, a Client authorizes the processing of the data for the purpose mentioned in paragraph 1 of this article.
  6. TW shall not pass on the data to a third party, unless it has received explicit permission to do so from a Client or unless this is necessary for the execution of the Agreement, or in accordance with a legal obligation (e.g. in connection with the General Law on National Taxes).
  7. In the event of a data leak, TW shall report this to the Client other than a Consumer as soon as possible, unless the infringement does not entail any risk for the Client (e.g. because the data have been made inaccessible to unauthorised parties by encryption).

Article 23 – Privacy policy for personal data

  1. The data of a Contact Person (‘personal data’) is processed by TW in accordance with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act (Wbp) and the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). All provisions of “Article 23: Data processing” of these general terms and conditions apply in full to the processing of personal data, unless these provisions are further elaborated below.
  2. TW processes the data of a Contact Person / Client exclusively for the purpose of executing the Agreement, subject to any legal obligation on TW at any time to further process the data.
  3. TW shall not process the data any further than is necessary for the performance of the Agreement. TW shall not retain the data for longer than necessary for the purpose of the data processing, unless (i) retention of the data is necessary in connection with an unresolved claim or dispute with the Consumer; (ii) if TW is obliged to do so under applicable law; (iii) TW stores the data for its legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention.
  4. TW, as controller, will keep a register of the data processing on the basis of the accountability of article 5, paragraph 2 of the GCPSC. In that register, it will include a description of the categories of ‘data subjects’ (natural persons) and of the categories of personal data. The register will also state the processing purposes and the data of the controller(s) (in accordance with Article 30(1) of the General Data Protection Act).
  5. Insofar as TW, when processing personal data, cannot be regarded as a ‘processing controller’ within the meaning of the Wbp and the AVG, in the sense that TW processes the personal data on behalf of a third party (e.g. a Client) and that third party is responsible for the lawful processing of the personal data, TW, in its capacity as ‘processing agent’ within the meaning of the AVG, excludes liability for any unlawful processing of that data.
  6. In the event of a data leak of personal data, TW shall immediately report the data leak to the Personal Data Authority, unless it is not likely that the breach poses a risk to the rights and freedoms of the Consumer. Furthermore, TW is only obliged to report the data breach to the Consumer himself if the breach is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the Contact Person.

Article 24 – Rights of the contact person with regard to personal data

  1. A Consumer (the ‘party concerned’ within the meaning of the AVG) has the right to: (i) inspect his data; (ii) rectify or delete (delete) the data; (iii) limit the data processing; and (iv) data portability, which means that the Consumer has the right to receive his data for personal use or for transfer to another organization. A Consumer may submit such a request to TW by e-mail to
  2. TW will respond to such a request within four weeks at the latest. If TW is unable to meet a request from a Consumer, it shall make this known within the aforementioned period and shall state the reasons for its decision.
  3. A Contact Person also has the right to object to the processing and use of his data by TW if this is done for the benefit of a legitimate interest of TW, such as direct marketing. If a Contact Person objects, TW will no longer use the personal data for that specific purpose.
  4. A Contact Person shall at all times have the right to submit a complaint in the event of faulty data processing to the Dutch supervisory authority, the Personal Data Authority. For contact details, see: www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.

Article 25 – Final provisions
