Article 2. USE OF THE SERVICE
2.1. The Service allows the User to compare accommodations on offer by various Providers in a simple and comprehensible way. The Service also allows the User to contact Providers, to check the availability of accommodations, to request quotations from Providers, to post reviews on Providers and to be redirected to Provider websites by means of hyperlinks.
2.2. The Service can immediately be used by the User without an Account. To save details for later retrieval and to use other advanced functions, the User must first register. Once registration is complete, the User can immediately log into the Account and use the Service.
2.3. The User must protect the Account from unauthorised use by means of a username and password. The password, in particular, must be kept confidential by the User. BBE will assume that whatever takes place on the Account of the User after logging in with the associated username and password, takes place under the supervision and guidance of the User. The User will therefore be responsible for all related actions, unless the User has informed BBE that the password is known to another party.
2.4. If misuse of the Account is suspected, the User must notify BBE without delay and the (login) credentials must be changed by the User.
2.5. The User may only post a review on the presentation page of the Provider if it has entered into an agreement with the relevant Provider. BBE reserves the right to delete reviews that, in its opinion, are offensive, vulgar and/or inappropriate.
2.6. Reviews must, at all times, be written and posted by the User in its own capacity. BBE reserves the right to delete reviews of which, in its opinion, the integrity is disputable.
2.7. Personal data is processed during use of the Service. The provisions in article 12 of these Terms and Conditions for Use apply to the processing of personal data.

ARTICLE 3. REGULATIONS FOR USE
3.1. The Service may not be used for activities that violate the law of the Netherlands or other applicable legislation and regulations. This includes using the Service to save or distribute information that is abusive, defamatory or racist.
3.2. Especially, but not exclusively, the following are not permitted:
a. use of the Service without observing the legislation and regulations applicable to the protection of personal data, such as the Wet Bescherming Persoonsgegevens (Data Protection Act). The Service may especially not be used to gather or distribute data belonging to third parties without permission or appropriate necessity;
b. subcontracting the Service or otherwise making it available to other parties;
c. using the Service in a way that causes harassment or disruption to other Users. This includes the use of own scripts or software for the up‐ or downloading of large amounts of data, or excessive enlisting of the Service;

3.4. If, in the opinion of BBE, the performance of the computer system or network belonging to BBE or other parties and/or its internet‐based service provision is threatened by disruption, damage or other risks, especially as a result of the excessive sending of data, the leaking of personal data or the actions of viruses, Trojans or similar software, BBE has the right to implement all reasonable measures deemed necessary in order to avert or prevent such danger.
3.5. BBE at all times has the right to report criminal offences that it has observed. BBE furthermore has the right to provide the name, address and other identifying details of the User to a third party with complaints about the User violating its rights or these Terms and Conditions for Use, as long as the complaint can within reason be accepted as accurate and the third party has a clear interest in acquiring the details.
3.6. In case of repeated complaints about the User, BBE has the right to terminate the Contract.
3.7. BBE has the right to recover from the User losses suffered as a result of violation of the regulations.

ARTICLE 4. COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
4.1. BBE takes complaints and reports of wrongful use on the Website or by other means very seriously. In case of questions, comments, complaints or reports of wrongful use, BBE can be contacted using the contact options on the Website – intended for this purpose – or the contact details at the bottom of these Terms and Conditions for Use.
4.2. The User may submit complaints about the Service, about a Provider or about payments. The User will allow BBE a reasonable period in which to handle such a complaint.

ARTICLE 5. PROMOTIONAL PLATFORM

6.2. The User at all times remains responsible for its use of the Service and for the conclusion of agreements with Providers.

This will not apply to information that the User has expressly marked as confidential.

9.4. The content available on the Website has been complied with the utmost care. However, BBE cannot guarantee that information posted on the Website by itself or by Providers will be accurate and complete at all times.

ARTICLE 10. PAYMENT CONDITIONS
10.1. Unless otherwise indicated alongside the accommodation offer on the Website, the User will – upon booking – directly pay to BBE the amount owing for the agreement established between the Provider and the User via the website.

These debt collection charges will amount to a maximum of: 15% on outstanding amounts of up to € 2,500.00; 10% on a subsequent amount of € 2,500.00 and 5% on a subsequent amount of € 5,000.00, with a minimum charge of € 40.00. BBE may depart from the aforementioned amounts and percentages in favour of the User.

ARTICLE 11. LIABILITY
11.1. The User is aware of the fact that BBE exclusively plays a mediatory role in establishing the agreement between the User and the Provider. BBE cannot be held liable for failures in the observance of this agreement, given that BBE forms no part of the agreement between the User and the Provider. BBE cannot be held responsible for failures in fulfilment of the agreement between User and Provider, given that BBE forms no part of the agreement concluded between User and Provider. These Terms and Conditions for Use constitute the Contract concluded between the User and BBE.
11.2. BBE has no control over the data entered by Users, the offers and information submitted by Providers and the content of agreements between Users and Providers. In addition, the Service is offered to Users free of charge. BBE therefore rejects any possible liability towards Users.
11.3. If, when the actual circumstances surrounding a loss‐incurring event are considered, the rejection of liability is unfair towards the User, not acting in a professional or commercial capacity, or if rejection of liability is not possible according to the law, BBE will only be held liable towards the User for direct losses as stipulated in article 6:96 of the BW (Dutch Civil Code).
11.4. BBE will in no case be held liable for the compensation of indirect losses or consequential losses suffered due to loss of trade or profit, losses due to delay, losses due to misplaced data, losses due to terms exceeded as a result of circumstances, losses due to poor cooperation, information or materials provided by the User, and losses due to information or advice supplied to BBE, the content of which does not expressly form part of the Contract.
11.5. In case of liability as described in section 3 of this article, the maximum payment amount is limited to the compensation of direct losses up to a maximum of EUR 500.00 (excluding VAT).
11.6. The limitation of liability as stipulated in the previous sections of this article will not apply if and insofar as losses are due to intent or gross negligence on the part of BBE management.
11.7. As a condition for any right to compensation to arise, the User must report its loss in writing to BBE within a maximum period of one (1) month following discovery.
11.8. In case of force majeure, BBE can never be held liable for resulting losses suffered by the User.Force majeure can include the failure or dropout of the internet or telecommunication infrastructure, power failures, domestic unrest, mobilisation, war, traffic congestion, strikes, lockouts, operational disturbances, stagnation of supply, fire and floods.

ARTICLE 12. PERSONAL DATA AND SECURITY
12.1. The personal data processed during the provision of Services is governed by the Wet Bescherming Persoonsgegevens (Data Protection Act).

Information about how BBE handles the personal data of Users can be found in the privacy statement.
12.2. BBE will ensure the presence of security at an appropriate level, taking into account the risks posed by processing and the nature of the personal data. Yet, this will only apply if and insofar as such data is present in the systems or infrastructure belonging to BBE.
12.3. There are links to Provider websites and other parties on the Website. These Providers and third parties have their own methods of handling personal data. BBE cannot be held liable for the privacy policies of Providers and third parties.

However, the User can request a copy prior to termination, the cost of which will be for the account of the User.
13.3. BBE may cancel the Contract if the User has not logged in for a period of twelve months. In such a case, BBE will send a reminder email to the email address linked to the User’s Account.
