2.2. They also apply to additional engagements, follow-up projects, and new agreements between the same parties when duly declared applicable, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

2.3. OnlineMarketingMan makes these terms available before or no later than when the agreement is concluded, in accordance with applicable statutory requirements. The counterparty is given the opportunity to review and retain them in a durable form.

2.4. Merely visiting OnlineMarketingMan.com, reading articles, or submitting a nonbinding contact inquiry does not automatically result in a paid engagement, business collaboration, or contractual acceptance of these terms.

2.5. OnlineMarketingMan.com presents itself primarily as an initiator and strategic collaboration partner in digital business models. Publications on the website do not automatically constitute offers of conventional marketing or consulting services.

2.6. If OnlineMarketingMan separately agrees to provide consulting, digital work, or other deliverables, these terms apply to the extent that they have been validly agreed.

2.7. These terms are intended exclusively for business counterparties. They do not replace mandatory consumer terms applicable to sales to consumers through separate online stores or other sales channels.

2.8. Where mandatory legal rules apply, including consumer protection provisions, those rules prevail over conflicting provisions of these terms.

2.9. Deviations from these terms are valid only if expressly agreed in writing with a duly authorized representative of OnlineMarketingMan.

Article 3 – Order of Precedence and Conflicting Terms

3.1. In the event of conflicts between documents validly forming part of an agreement, the following order of precedence applies:

a. specific provisions and deviations expressly accepted in writing by both parties;

b. the signed individual collaboration agreement, project agreement, or framework agreement;

c. the written engagement confirmation;

d. the accepted quotation and appendices;

e. these General Terms and Conditions.

3.2. OnlineMarketingMan expressly rejects the applicability of the counterparty's general purchasing terms, supplier terms, and other standard terms.

3.3. Merely receiving a purchase order, supplier registration, order form, or electronic reference to the counterparty's terms does not amount to acceptance of those terms.

3.4. Where both parties refer to different general terms, their applicability is determined under the applicable law, including Article 6:225(3) of the Dutch Civil Code where applicable.

3.5. OnlineMarketingMan also expressly rejects conflicting terms where necessary in quotations, engagement confirmations, or separate contractual correspondence.

3.6. Deviations relating to liability, indemnification, intellectual property, financial obligations, exclusivity, governing law, or competent courts require prior express written agreement.

3.7. Commencing work or participating in a business meeting does not, in itself, mean that different terms proposed by the counterparty have been accepted. Applicable statutory rules on offer, acceptance, and contract interpretation remain in effect.

3.8. If a provision is found to be void, voidable, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. Where necessary, the parties will seek a legally valid replacement arrangement that reflects as closely as possible the intent and purpose of the original provision.

Article 4 – Offers, Proposals, and Formation of Agreements

4.1. Commercial proposals, draft presentations, business models, and exploratory discussions are nonbinding unless expressly recorded otherwise in writing.

4.3. An agreement is formed through valid acceptance and confirmation of a proposal, execution of an agreement, or another means demonstrating legally valid mutual consent between the parties.

4.4. The content of an agreement is determined by the agreed work or contributions, deliverables, responsibilities, financial arrangements, and other contractual terms.

4.5. An exploratory discussion about a potential joint e-commerce concept does not create any right to participation, co-ownership, profit sharing, exclusivity, or compensation.

4.6. Exchanging business information, product ideas, market analyses, or commercial proposals does not automatically create an obligation to establish a joint business or project.

4.7. OnlineMarketingMan may decline proposals before final acceptance, including where legal, commercial, financial, organizational, or reputational risks warrant doing so.

4.8. Obvious typographical errors, evident calculation errors, and other mistakes reasonably recognizable to the counterparty do not automatically bind OnlineMarketingMan.

Article 5 – Nature of Activities and Business Initiatives

5.1. OnlineMarketingMan focuses on identifying, analyzing, developing, and, where feasible, operating commercial opportunities in digital markets and e-commerce.

5.2. Activities may include niche research, market validation, strategic positioning, marketing architecture, automation, platform development, operational optimization, and commercial collaboration.

5.3. The website's presentation or OnlineMarketingMan's past experience does not guarantee the availability of particular services, technical resources, or financial resources to every counterparty.

5.4. In carrying out separately agreed work, OnlineMarketingMan exercises the professional care expected of a reasonably competent and reasonably acting service provider.

5.5. Unless a specific result has expressly been guaranteed in writing, agreed activities constitute an obligation to use reasonable efforts rather than an obligation to achieve a particular result.

5.6. OnlineMarketingMan does not guarantee specific revenue, profit, conversion rates, market share, website traffic, organic search rankings, returns, payback periods, or successful commercial operation.

5.7. Indicative calculations, business cases, forecasts, and growth scenarios support business decision-making and do not constitute guarantees of future results.

5.8. Developing a commercial initiative entails entrepreneurial risks. Even a model without proprietary physical inventory may involve financial, logistical, contractual, and operational risks.

5.9. Work is performed within the agreed scope. Any expansion requires additional agreement.

5.10. Binding delivery deadlines agreed in writing are observed. Other schedules are indicative unless the agreement or circumstances provide otherwise.

6.1. When OnlineMarketingMan jointly develops an e-commerce concept, online store, or other commercial initiative with third parties, specific responsibilities are set out in a separate collaboration agreement.

6.2. Where applicable, that agreement allocates strategic, operational, technical, commercial, legal, and financial responsibilities.

6.3. The parties record in writing beforehand the contributions they will make, including labor, expertise, intellectual property, technology, software, capital, supplier relationships, or distribution resources.

6.4. A contribution to concept development does not automatically entitle a party to any specific ownership percentage, profit share, compensation, or decision-making authority.

6.5. Arrangements regarding ownership, allocation of profits and losses, investments, costs, decision-making, authority, and any exclusivity must be agreed separately.

6.6. In the absence of an express legally valid agreement, neither party is authorized to independently incur obligations on behalf of another party.

6.7. Each collaboration partner remains responsible for the work and obligations allocated to that partner under the agreement and applicable law.

7.1. Commercial initiatives may involve dropshipping, external suppliers, fulfillment partners, logistics providers, and digital sales platforms.

7.2. Responsibility for product purchasing, inventory management, order processing, delivery, customer service, returns, and product warranties is allocated separately for each initiative or collaboration.

7.3. A dropshipping model does not automatically mean that OnlineMarketingMan is itself the seller, supplier, importer, or contracting party for logistics.

7.4. The legal seller to the end customer is determined by the actual contractual and commercial structure of the sales channel concerned.

7.5. If OnlineMarketingMan itself acts as seller to a consumer, all applicable statutory consumer rights and obligations remain fully in effect.

7.7. Suppliers may change prices, product ranges, availability, lead times, shipping rates, and commercial terms. The resulting consequences are allocated among collaboration partners in accordance with their agreements and applicable law.

7.8. OnlineMarketingMan does not guarantee that external suppliers, shipping companies, or other logistics providers will always perform their obligations without delay or error.

7.9. Product safety, product information, applicable certifications, consumer rights, tax obligations, and cross-border sales requirements must be complied with by the parties responsible under their actual roles and the law.

Article 8 – Digital Infrastructure, Websites, Marketing, and Data

8.1. Commercial initiatives may use e-commerce platforms, content management systems, API integrations, supplier feeds, analytics platforms, marketing automation, and other external digital services.

8.2. Ownership and management of domain names, hosting, websites, online store accounts, advertising accounts, databases, software licenses, and integrations are agreed in writing in advance where necessary.

8.3. A jointly developed concept does not automatically give a party full access to all accounts, data sources, technical configurations, or business systems of the other parties involved.

8.4. Any transfer of accounts, websites, configurations, or digital business assets must respect applicable license terms, security requirements, and ownership rights.

8.5. External technology providers may change features, pricing, APIs, terms, and availability. OnlineMarketingMan cannot automatically be held responsible for changes over which it has no decisive control.

8.6. Data from supplier feeds, external databases, marketing platforms, or market research may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated. The relevant party assesses that data with appropriate professional care.

9.3. AI systems and automated tools may produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading information.

9.4. For agreed work, OnlineMarketingMan applies review measures reasonably appropriate to the engagement, the available information, and the potential consequences of errors.

9.5. The use of automated systems does not release OnlineMarketingMan from its own contractual obligations to perform with due care.

9.6. AI-generated outputs do not automatically guarantee that the content is factually, commercially, technically, or legally complete and correct.

9.7. Where personal data, confidential business information, or protected materials are processed through external AI systems, applicable statutory and contractual requirements must be observed.

9.8. Rights in AI-assisted outputs and opportunities for commercial reuse are determined by applicable law, licensing conditions, and individual contractual arrangements.

13.4. OnlineMarketingMan is in principle given a reasonable opportunity to investigate an alleged deficiency and, where appropriate, remedy it, unless the law or circumstances prevent this.

13.5. Failure to achieve a commercial result does not, by itself, prove deficient performance.

13.6. Where agreed technical or substantive specifications have demonstrably not been met, the deficiency is assessed against the agreement and applicable legal standards.

13.7. Acceptance of a deliverable does not automatically waive rights concerning hidden defects or other failures for which such a consequence has not been validly agreed.

Article 14 – Liability and Mitigation of Loss

14.2. For separate paid engagements, OnlineMarketingMan's aggregate liability arising from one event or a series of related events is limited, to the extent permitted by law, to no more than 100% of the agreed fee for the relevant engagement, excluding VAT.

14.3. For ongoing paid engagements, aggregate liability is limited, to the extent permitted by law, to the fee excluding VAT payable for the relevant services during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event causing the loss. For a shorter engagement, the fee for that period applies.

14.4. For joint business initiatives, investment relationships, and collaborations without a separate engagement fee, the parties must set out an appropriate liability arrangement in the individual collaboration agreement. The fee-based limits in the preceding paragraphs do not automatically apply to such collaborations.

14.5. In the absence of a valid specific liability arrangement, liability is assessed under applicable statutory rules.

14.6. To the extent permitted by law, liability for indirect and consequential loss is excluded. This may include lost profits, lost revenue, unrealized savings, loss of goodwill, reputational harm, business interruption, and lost commercial opportunities.

14.7. If an item of loss is legally classified as direct loss, the applicable liability limitations are assessed separately under this article and the law.

14.8. OnlineMarketingMan does not guarantee specific revenue, profitability, conversion rates, search rankings, advertising results, commercial growth, or payback periods.

14.9. OnlineMarketingMan is not automatically liable for loss arising solely from incorrect or incomplete information supplied by the counterparty, unless the inaccuracy should reasonably have been detected and addressed when exercising due care.

14.10. OnlineMarketingMan is not liable for errors, disruptions, or failures caused exclusively by third parties for which it bears no responsibility under the agreement and applicable law.

14.11. This does not automatically exclude liability where OnlineMarketingMan is itself responsible for choosing or directing a third party or for that party's performance.

14.12. Each party remains responsible for its own contractual obligations and statutory responsibilities, including product safety, consumer rights, data protection, and compliance with applicable regulations.

14.13. Where loss results from multiple acts or circumstances, causation, attribution, and any contributory fault are assessed under applicable law.

14.14. The counterparty must take reasonable measures to prevent or mitigate loss and inform OnlineMarketingMan as soon as reasonably possible upon becoming aware of a potentially loss-causing circumstance.

14.15. OnlineMarketingMan is given the opportunity, where reasonably possible, to investigate an alleged error and propose appropriate measures to limit loss.

14.16. Contractual limitations of liability do not apply where prohibited by mandatory law or where their application in the particular circumstances would be unacceptable under standards of reasonableness and fairness, including relevant cases of intent or conscious recklessness.

14.17. The liability arrangement applies regardless of whether an insurance payout exists or its amount. Insurance does not automatically create a higher contractual liability cap.

14.18. The fact that an activity falls within the scope of an insurance policy does not mean that every loss, claim, or foreign proceeding is actually covered by that insurance.

14.19. Deviations from this liability arrangement, including higher limits, performance guarantees, penalty clauses, or broader indemnities, require prior express written agreement.

14.20. Where the counterparty requests expanded liability, OnlineMarketingMan may require prior assessment of insurance coverage or additional contractual arrangements.

Article 15 – Third-Party Claims and Indemnification

15.1. Each party represents that it is entitled to use the data, materials, marks, software, images, documents, and other protected works it makes available for the agreed purpose.

15.2. The counterparty indemnifies OnlineMarketingMan, to the extent permitted by law, against substantiated third-party claims arising directly from unlawful or unauthorized use of materials supplied by the counterparty.

15.3. This indemnity does not apply to the extent that the claim was caused or increased by a breach attributable to OnlineMarketingMan.

15.4. In joint e-commerce activities, liability and any indemnities relating to product safety, intellectual property, consumer claims, and supplier disputes are agreed separately where the nature of the collaboration requires it.

15.5. OnlineMarketingMan informs the counterparty of a relevant third-party claim as soon as reasonably possible.

15.6. The parties carefully coordinate the handling of such claims, taking into account applicable statutory obligations and any rights of liability insurers.

15.7. Neither party may, without legally valid consent of the other, settle a claim in a way that directly creates new obligations for that other party.

15.8. More extensive indemnities, warranties, or hold-harmless obligations apply only if validly and expressly agreed.

Article 16 – Intellectual Property, Concepts, and Usage Rights

16.1. Pre-existing intellectual property rights in methods, expertise, documents, technology, software, models, templates, designs, content, and other materials remain vested in the original rights holder.

16.2. Merely discussing or presenting a business idea does not automatically give another party an exclusive right to that idea, an ownership interest in a future concept, or an entitlement to exploit it.

16.3. To the extent that ideas, concepts, methods, or general knowledge are not protected by intellectual property rights, exclusive rights arise only where validly agreed or provided for by applicable law.

16.4. For jointly developed commercial concepts, arrangements concerning ownership, copyrights, trademark rights, domain names, databases, software, usage rights, and commercial exploitation are documented separately.

16.5. A financial contribution or substantive participation in a project does not automatically mean that all intellectual property rights are jointly owned.

16.6. Where OnlineMarketingMan develops specific deliverables for a client in exchange for payment, the client receives, after full payment and unless otherwise agreed, a nonexclusive, nontransferable right to use them for the agreed business purposes, to the extent that OnlineMarketingMan is authorized to grant that right.

16.7. A transfer of copyright or other intellectual property rights requires a separate, sufficiently specific, and legally valid written agreement.

16.8. The client may not resell deliverables as a standalone commercial product, sublicense them, or exploit them outside the agreed usage scope without permission, to the extent that the relevant rights belong to OnlineMarketingMan or another rights holder.

16.10. OnlineMarketingMan remains entitled to reuse general professional knowledge and experience, while respecting confidential information, contractual restrictions, and protected rights of other parties.

16.11. Using a collaboration partner's name, logo, or specific confidential results as a commercial reference requires prior consent unless a valid arrangement already authorizes this.

Article 17 – Confidentiality and Confidential Business Information

17.1. The parties handle confidential information received in the course of negotiations or agreements with due care and in confidence.

17.2. Confidential information may include business models, supplier terms, margin structures, purchase prices, revenue data, technical configurations, commercial strategies, customer databases, and nonpublic business information.

17.3. Confidential information is used exclusively to assess or perform the agreed business activities, unless validly agreed otherwise.

17.4. Confidential information may not be disclosed to third parties without permission, except where legally required or necessary for the agreed performance and subject to appropriate safeguards.

17.5. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to information demonstrably already public, lawfully received without confidentiality obligations, or independently developed without using the confidential information.

17.6. Each party takes reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect confidential information.

17.7. The duty of confidentiality survives termination for as long as the information should reasonably remain confidential.

17.8. For commercial initiatives, the parties may enter into a separate nondisclosure agreement where the sensitivity of business information or the stage of negotiations warrants one.

Article 18 – Privacy, Data Protection, and Digital Security

18.1. The parties comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant.

18.2. Each party is responsible for lawful processing of personal data for which it acts as a controller under applicable law.

18.4. Where the parties jointly determine the purposes and means of processing, they assess whether additional arrangements between joint controllers are required.

18.5. Personal data is shared and processed only to the extent that an appropriate lawful basis exists and the data is necessary for the relevant purposes.

18.6. The parties implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures reflecting the nature of the data and the risks of processing.

18.7. In e-commerce activities, responsibility for customer data, order information, marketing consent, returns data, and other personal data is determined by actual business operations and applicable statutory obligations.

18.8. International transfers of personal data take place in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

18.9. Personal data breaches and other relevant security issues are handled in accordance with statutory and contractual notification and cooperation obligations.

18.10. On termination of a collaboration, personal data and access rights are deleted, transferred, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable arrangements and law.

18.11. The general processing of personal data through OnlineMarketingMan.com is further explained in the Privacy Policy published on the website.

Article 19 – Force Majeure

19.1. Force majeure means a circumstance that prevents a failure to perform from being attributed to the party concerned under the law, the agreement, or generally accepted standards in society.

19.2. Serious disruptions to international communications, essential digital infrastructure, energy supply, logistics chains, government measures, or other external circumstances may constitute force majeure depending on their nature and effects.

19.3. Reliance on force majeure is justified only to the extent that the event actually prevents or makes performance impossible and the applicable statutory conditions are satisfied.

19.4. Ordinary commercial setbacks, unfavorable margins, or a failure to generate expected revenue do not automatically constitute force majeure.

19.5. The affected party informs the counterparty as soon as possible about the nature and expected consequences of the force majeure event.

19.6. During a valid force majeure event, obligations actually affected may be suspended to the extent allowed by law and the agreement.

20.1. OnlineMarketingMan may enter into business agreements and collaborations with businesses and organizations within and outside the Netherlands, the EU, and the European Economic Area.

20.3. The choice of Dutch law is governed by Article 21, subject to private international law and applicable mandatory provisions.

20.4. International collaboration may involve digital market analysis, e-commerce concepts, software development, supplier integrations, distribution models, and other commercial activities.

20.5. Responsibility for foreign permits, tax obligations, product safety, local sales requirements, and consumer protection is determined by the parties' actual roles, the agreement, and applicable law.

20.6. OnlineMarketingMan does not guarantee that foreign legislation, platform terms, import requirements, logistics restrictions, or tax rules will remain unchanged.

20.7. Where necessary, the parties document arrangements concerning contract language, invoice currency, international bank charges, tax treatment, any withholding taxes, and other cross-border financial obligations.

20.8. If these Dutch General Terms and Conditions are translated into other languages, the Dutch text is the governing version, unless the parties expressly agree in writing to another authentic version and applicable law permits this.

20.9. A foreign choice of law, choice of court, arbitration clause, or special international liability arrangement is accepted only when validly and expressly agreed in writing.

20.10. These terms and separate agreements cannot create or expand insurance coverage. Additional arrangements may be necessary for international activities outside the usual substantive or geographical scope of an insurance policy.
