Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Besides any other requirements described in the agreement, invoices of the supplier need to meet the legal invoicing requirements, as mentioned on the website of the Dutch Tax Authorities.

Box 90636, 2509 LP The Hague, The Netherlands, indicating the Purchase Order and/or Engagement number (starting with E- of I-). Invoices are to be submitted via e-mail to gsspoland.ap.nl@xe05.ey.com. EY reserves the right to issue additional instructions with respect to invoicing in writing and the supplier is obliged to follow-up such additional instructions. - EY will have the right to suspend payment on its part in the event that the supplier fails to return to EY the files, documents, information, designs, models and any and all copies thereof as referred to in Article 49, and/or the instruments as referred to in Article 59, or fails to return all such instruments and/or files, documents, information, designs, models and any and all copies thereof, or returns them in damaged state at the time of the final delivery or upon first demand. - To the extent not stated otherwise, the agreed prices include any and all additional costs and exclude VAT. Additional costs include, but are not limited to, delivery costs, costs for permits and any and all other levies. - The payment by EY of any invoice in accordance with the Articles 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 (Rates and payment) does not also constitute acceptance of the services or goods delivered, and does not affect any statements made or guarantees or warranties issued by the supplier. - EY’s failure to pay an invoice on the grounds of the presumed incorrectness of that invoice does not give the supplier the right to suspend or terminate its obligations under the agreement. - The price stated in the agreement with respect to the delivery of goods and/or the provision of services will be binding. The supplier cannot pass any changes in wages, taxes and any other cost price determining factors on to EY. * For small and mid-sized suppliers, meaning suppliers with less than 250 employees and a annual turnover up to EUR 50 million and/or a balance sheet total up to EUR 43 million, the following applies: Invoices that are due and payable will be paid within thirty days of their date of receipt to the extent that the Supplier has completely and properly delivered/performed the agreement and to the extent that EY has received a proper invoice. In the event that EY owes the supplier damages due to the delayed payment of an invoice, the amount of such damages will not exceed the amount of the interest referred to in Section 119a of Book 6 of the Dutch Civil Code. Under no circumstances Supplier may demand payment in advance. * For suppliers exceeding the criteria in the previous asterisk, the following applies: Invoices that are due and payable will be paid within 45 days of their date of receipt to the extent that the supplier has completely and properly delivered/performed the agreement and to the extent that EY has received a proper invoice. In the event that EY fails to pay within the said 45-day period, the supplier shall so notify EY in writing within no more than seven days of the expiry of that period. In the event that EY owes the supplier damages due to the delayed payment of an invoice, the amount of such damages will not exceed the amount of the interest referred to in Section 119 of Book 6 of the Dutch Civil Code.
