General Terms and Conditions

These general terms and conditions apply to all brokerage services of Imperial Bridge Trade B.V. Version 1.0, October 2026.

Definitions

1. IBT: Imperial Bridge Trade B.V., registered in the Trade Register of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce, user of these terms and conditions.
2. Client: the (legal) person acting in the course of a profession or business who requests IBT to establish a connection.
3. Partner: a supplier, manufacturer, contractor or service provider nominated by IBT or included in IBT’s network.
4. Mandate: the written record of the engagement, its scope and IBT’s fee.
5. Introduction: any act by which IBT brings a Client and a Partner into contact with each other, including the provision of details.
6. Brokerage fee: the fee agreed in the Mandate for IBT’s services.

Applicability

1. These terms and conditions apply to every enquiry, quotation, Mandate and agreement between IBT and a Client or Partner.
2. Deviations apply only if agreed in writing between the parties.
3. The applicability of any general terms and conditions of the Client or Partner is expressly rejected.

Nature of the services

1. IBT acts solely as an intermediary. IBT does not perform any work itself, does not supply goods and is not a party to the agreement concluded between Client and Partner.
2. The execution, delivery, quality and performance of the agreement between Client and Partner are the full responsibility of those parties.

Formation of the mandate

1. An enquiry via the website or otherwise is without obligation and does not oblige IBT to accept an engagement.
2. An engagement is formed at the moment the Mandate has been confirmed in writing by both parties.

Verification and best-efforts obligation

1. IBT performs its services to the best of its knowledge and ability. IBT is bound by a best-efforts obligation, not an obligation of result.
2. Verification of Partners takes place on the basis of the information available at that time and documentation provided by Partners. IBT does not warrant its accuracy or completeness.
3. An Introduction does not constitute any guarantee as to the suitability, solvency or performance of a Partner.

Brokerage fee

1. The amount and method of calculation of the Brokerage fee are set out in the Mandate.
2. The Brokerage fee is also payable if an agreement between the Client and a Partner introduced by IBT is concluded within the period stated in the Mandate following the Introduction.
3. Invoices are payable within fourteen days of the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Confidentiality

1. The parties shall treat all information received from each other in the context of the brokerage as strictly confidential.
2. This obligation remains in force after termination of the engagement.

Non-circumvention

1. The Client and Partner are not permitted to bypass IBT by doing business directly, outside IBT, with a party introduced by IBT during the period stated in the Mandate.
2. In the event of a breach, the breaching party owes the Brokerage fee that IBT would have received had the agreement been concluded through IBT, without prejudice to IBT’s right to full compensation.

Liability

1. IBT is not liable for any damage arising from the execution, delivery or non-performance by a Partner or Client.
2. Any liability of IBT is limited to the amount of the Brokerage fee received under the relevant Mandate.
3. IBT is never liable for indirect damage, including consequential loss, loss of profit and missed savings.

Governing law and disputes

1. All legal relationships with IBT are governed exclusively by Dutch law.
2. Disputes shall be submitted to the competent court of the District Court of Rotterdam.
