The client remains responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to Executive Health Management.
If, due to circumstances beyond the control of Executive Health Management, a scheduled examination cannot be carried out, other than in the case of a cancellation as alluded to in Article 13, the client is nevertheless obliged to pay Executive Health Management the agreed price for the examination.

If, in the context of the agreement, Executive Health Management is mandatorily obliged to provide certain information, either printed, written or furnished in any other way, the client will accept this information for internal use only. The client will treat such information in strict confidence and never disclose it, wholly or in part, to anyone other than the person whom it concerns, and will furthermore not use it as evidence in any (legal) procedure. The data may not be copied or reproduced in any manner whatsoever by the client, wholly or in part.

Article 11. Additional activities, further expertise and medical information

Executive Health Management is entitled to pass on the cost of additional activities, carried out on behalf of and at the expense and risk of the client, such as the harvesting of medical information or the sourcing of additional expertise – from third parties or otherwise – and that proved necessary for the proper execution of the assignment after the establishment of the agreement, to the client. If additional activities appear to be necessary, and insofar as this is reasonably possible, Executive Health Management will, as soon as is reasonably possible, inform the person designated by the client as medically responsible by telephone of the nature of these activities and their associated costs. In the event that such additional activities and their associated costs appear necessary, the client that is a customer at the same time has the authority to terminate the agreement, but on the understanding that costs that have already been incurred will have to be reimbursed.
For additional activities, as alluded to in the first paragraph of this Article, the prices applicable at the time will be charged. Incidentally, the provisions of the agreement will also apply to these additional activities, which will be deemed to be part of the agreement. The nature of the additional activities and their associated costs will be specifically indicated on the invoice by Executive Health Management.

Article 12. Payment

Payment will be made by means by transferring the due amount to the bank or giro account specified by Executive Health Management, within 30 days of the invoice date. The client is not allowed to defer payments or make settlements.
In the event of late payment, all outstanding payments of the client will be due immediately.

If the client defaults on paying an invoice, it will be liable to pay the legal commercial interest rate + 1% per month, whereby part of a month will count as a whole month, until such day as the whole balance has been paid.
All judicial and extrajudicial debt-collection costs incurred by Executive Health Management in the process of collecting a debt from the client will be at the expense of the client. The extrajudicial debt-collection costs will be at least 15% of the outstanding principal due, with a minimum of €500. Executive Health Management reserves the right to claim the actual judicial and extrajudicial debt-collection costs.
If Executive Health Management has a payment claim against the client, it has the right, without prejudicing what is stated in the previous paragraphs, to stop or suspend the activities. Executive Health Management then also has the right to terminate the agreement, without legal intervention being necessary, and claim full (damages) compensation for any damage caused to Executive Health Management by the client. This includes, but is not limited to, expenditures already made or yet to be made, services provided and income already lost and that will be lost.
If the client has objections to (any part of) the invoice, it is mandatorily required to make this known to Executive Health Management, clearly specified in writing, and within eight (8) calendar days of the invoice date, on the understanding that not doing so means the forfeit of the applicable right. Such an objection submitted to Executive Health Management does not imply any right to the suspension of the payment obligations. If the objection is deemed to be justified, a credit note will be issued immediately by Executive Health Management.
The client remains, at all times, responsible for complying with all (payment) obligations arising from this agreement.
Payment(s) made by the client will successively be balanced against the extrajudicial debt-collection costs caused by the client, followed by the legal costs, followed by the owed interest, and thereafter the outstanding principal sums in chronological order, irrespective of any indication to the contrary by the client.
