3.6 Flexado reserves the right to refuse customers or terminate agreements at any time without providing a reason.
Security deposit, invoicing, and payment
4.1 As soon as an agreement between the customer and Flexado is entered into, the customer is required to pay a security deposit and startup costs. The deposit serves as additional security for the payment of any amounts Flexado is entitled to claim from the customer, now or in the future. The customer must ensure that at all times, the specified security deposit amount is held by Flexado. The exact amounts of the security deposit and startup costs may vary per location. The prices stated in the quotation are binding. No interest is paid on the deposit, and VAT is not applicable to the deposit.
4.2 Flexado is entitled to send invoices electronically, if legally permitted.
4.3 In addition to the security deposit, the Client is obliged to pay the first installment invoice in advance. Instead of the one-off security deposit, the Client may opt to pay a monthly administrative surcharge. This surcharge does not qualify as a deposit and will therefore not be refunded at the end of the agreement.
4.4 Subsequent invoices from Flexado must be paid within 14 days of the invoice date.
4.5 Prepaid amounts by the customer are non-refundable. Even in the event of early termination of the agreement between the customer and Flexado, no refund of prepaid amounts will take place.
4.6 If the customer fails to pay Flexado on time, Flexado may, after the customer has been notified of default and the set deadline has passed without payment, impose a ‘service stop.’ This means that Flexado and its business partner are entitled to immediately suspend their services.
4.7 The security deposit will be refunded within 60 days after the termination of the legal relationship between the customer and Flexado, provided that all outstanding claims have been settled and the customer can demonstrably show that they are no longer using Flexado’s services. If the customer has not yet paid all debts to Flexado, these debts will first be deducted from the security deposit. Any remaining outstanding balance must be paid as soon as possible, but no later than 7 days after the end of the agreement. Any remaining security deposit will be transferred to a bank account specified by the customer.
4.8 Flexado is entitled to increase the costs annually in accordance with the CBS rental price adjustment index.
4.9 If you use any of the payment methods linked to Flexado’s website or invoice, the payment will be processed by Mollie payment provider.
4.10 If the Client opts for payment via the SEPA method, a monthly administrative surcharge of €3.87 shall be charged.
Termination
5.1 The agreement(s) may be terminated by either party in writing or by email, subject to a notice period of three full calendar months, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
5.2 Flexado is entitled to terminate an agreement immediately, without observing a notice period, in the event of the customer’s bankruptcy, suspension of payment, application of debt restructuring measures concerning the customer, liquidation of the customer’s business, or if the customer’s assets are seized.
5.3 Flexado may also immediately terminate this agreement, without a notice period and without any liability for costs and/or damages of any kind, if:
• the customer fails to pay their due debts on time;
• Flexado receives complaints about the customer or if there is unrest or concern from another customer or multiple customers regarding the customer;
• Flexado receives a request from the business partner to terminate the relationship or agreement with the customer;
• the customer otherwise fails to meet their contractual obligations.
5.4 If Flexado terminates the agreement for any of the reasons mentioned in articles 5.2 or 5.3, the customer’s payment obligation will end at the close of that calendar month for an open-ended contract and on the agreed end date for a fixed-term contract, without the customer having the right to continue receiving the provided service(s).
5.5 If the relationship between Flexado and the business partner ends for any reason, Flexado has the right to terminate the agreement with the customer on the same date the relationship between Flexado and the business partner ends.
5.6 Notwithstanding article 5.5, Flexado has the right to terminate the agreement with the customer if the business partner ceases to provide its services or if the business center is closed. In such a case, the notice period is one month, unless the business partner specifies an earlier closure date.
5.7 If the customer wishes to cancel the agreement during the onboarding phase — defined as the period between the conclusion of the agreement and the formal approval of the compliance file — a different regime applies. In that case, the customer is only liable for the agreed onboarding fee. Any monthly subscription fees and/or security deposits already paid will be refunded to the Client within 60 days, minus the onboarding fee.
As soon as the compliance file has been fully approved and the service (such as the virtual office) is active, the standard notice period of three full calendar months, as set out in Article 5.1, comes into effect.
Liability
6.1 Flexado’s liability is limited to direct damage resulting from its attributable failure or unlawful conduct, provided that liability only applies if Flexado’s insurer covers the compensation.

6.2 The customer is liable to both Flexado and third parties for damages result- ing from their own shortcomings or unlawful conduct. The customer indemnifies Flexado against third-party claims arising from these shortcomings or unlawful actions.
