TERMS AND CONDITIONS

RENT
Office space:
€ 125.00 per m² per year, plus VAT.

Showroom space:
€ 135.00 per m² per year, plus VAT.

VAT
The starting point is a VAT-taxed lease. The above amount must therefore be increased by the applicable VAT rate. If the tenant does not meet the 90% criterion, the lease will by law be VAT-exempt. In that case, the agreed net rent, excluding VAT, will be increased so that the disadvantage incurred by the landlord is compensated.

LEASE TERM
3 (three) or 5 (five) years, with a subsequent renewal period of 3 (three) years each time.
Shorter lease terms are negotiable.

RENT PAYMENT
The rent, service charges, energy advance and any promotional costs, plus VAT, payable quarterly in advance by direct debit.

RENT REVIEW
Annually, for the first time 1 (one) year after the lease commencement date, based on the change in the monthly price index figure according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), series for all households (2015 = 100), published by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

SERVICE CHARGES
Various supplies and services are provided by and on behalf of the landlord, including maintenance, periodic inspection and testing of (building-related) installations, waste processing, roof maintenance, exterior glazing insurance, staffed reception, mail/parcel service and maintenance of signage.

For the above-mentioned supplies and services, the tenant pays the landlord a fixed, non-offsettable amount of € 39.50 per m² per year, plus VAT.
The fixed service charges are indexed annually, for the first time 1 (one) year after the lease commencement date, based on the development of the monthly price index figure according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), series All Households (2015 = 100), published by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

ENERGY COSTS
In addition, the tenant must pay an advance amount for the following energy costs (costs marked with *), based on year-end settlement, of € 20.00 per m² per year, plus VAT:
– electricity consumption including fixed charges for the installations in the building and for the common areas *
– individual electricity consumption including fixed charges for the leased premises *
– gas consumption including fixed charges for the common areas and the leased premises *
– water consumption including fixed charges for the common areas and the leased premises *
– heat supply for the common areas and the leased premises *

The landlord will charge the tenant an advance for the costs of electricity and gas, both including fixed charges and any meter services. Electricity is charged based on actual consumption as measured by submeters. Heating costs are calculated in proportion to the number of square meters leased. If the submeters show inaccuracies in any given year, the landlord reserves the right to also charge electricity costs based on the number of square meters leased. The landlord will settle the actual costs against the advances paid annually.

PROMOTIONAL COSTS
The landlord will deploy the necessary resources to encourage visitors to come to the Sports Business Center. This also includes organizing open days or other events and all other activities that can contribute to the tenant’s success. Visitor numbers will be promoted in particular through advertisements in relevant online and offline professional media, direct online and offline mailings to visitors, and via the landlord’s social media. In addition, the Sports Business Center has a website on which the tenant will also be featured. A fee of € 10.00 per m² per year, excluding VAT, will be charged to the tenant for promotion. This applies only to showroom space.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
A bank guarantee, ROZ model, or a security deposit equal to three months’ payment obligation including VAT.
