The provisions of this Article apply to Bookings within the Netherlands.
9.1 A Booking shall commence at the moment the Client and the Courtesan meet, irrespective of the location. Any travel time after the commencement of the Booking shall form part of the Booking duration.
9.2 Within the Courtesan’s place of residence, the minimum Booking duration shall, in principle, be two hours. Where the Booking takes place outside her place of residence, the minimum Booking duration shall, in principle, depend on the one-way travel time to the Client, as follows:

| 1.5 – 2 hours | 4 hours |

Where the Client meets the Courtesan in her place of residence, no contribution towards the Travel Costs shall in principle be payable, unless the travel time exceeds 30 minutes. Outside her place of residence, or where the travel time exceeds 30 minutes, the contribution shall be €1 per kilometre calculated on a door-to-door basis, subject to a minimum of €30, unless the Courtesan travels by public transport, in which case Article 9.4 shall apply.
9.4 Where the Courtesan travels by public transport, the contribution shall be €1 per kilometre from her address to the railway station nearest to the Client’s location, subject to a minimum of €30, and €3 per kilometre from that station to the Client’s location, rounded up to the next multiple of ten.
9.5 Where the Client’s location is difficult to reach, or where the Booking ends so late that return travel by public transport is no longer reasonably possible, TCC shall be entitled to adjust the contribution towards the Travel Costs.
9.6 The Client shall share responsibility for ensuring that the agreed Booking duration is not exceeded. Where the agreed duration is exceeded by more than ten minutes, this shall be deemed to constitute an additional booked hour, to which the applicable extension rules shall apply, unless, before expiry of the agreed duration, the Client informed the Courtesan that he did not wish to extend the Booking and the Courtesan nevertheless failed to conclude the Booking accordingly.
9.7 Where the Client has not paid the Booking Fee prior to the Booking, payment shall be made within ten minutes after commencement, in the privacy of the accommodation. Where the Client meets the Courtesan in a public place, they shall proceed immediately to the private accommodation of the Client for the purpose of making payment.
9.8 Ten minutes before expiry of the agreed Booking duration, the Courtesan shall receive a notification from TCC, after which the Client may, in consultation with the Courtesan, decide either to conclude the Booking or to extend it.
9.9 During the final ten minutes of the Booking, the Client shall allow the Courtesan sufficient privacy to freshen up and leave the location.
9.10 A Booking shall take place in a hygienic, safe and well-maintained private residence, hotel or accommodation of at least four-star standard.

9.11 During the Booking, only those persons for whom the Booking has expressly been made and who are identified in the Booking Confirmation may be present at the location.
9.12 Where the Client notifies TCC that he will be delayed before the Courtesan has departed, the Booking may commence at a later time, provided that the Courtesan agrees. If the Courtesan has already commenced her journey, the Booking shall commence no later than 15 minutes after the original start time. Where the Client reports his delay only at or after the original commencement time, the waiting time shall form part of the Booking duration.
9.13 Where the Courtesan’s arrival is delayed, the Booking shall remain in full force and effect, and the Client shall not be entitled to cancel the Booking, reduce the minimum Booking duration or claim any refund, provided that the Client has been informed of the delay before the Booking was due to commence and the delay does not exceed:
9.14 Where the Courtesan fails to notify the Client of her delay before the commencement of the Booking, the Client shall be entitled, once the delay exceeds 15 minutes, either to cancel the Booking without charge or to propose that the Booking proceed with a shorter duration.
10.1 Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Article, any compensation or Booking Fee payable by the Client pursuant to this Article shall be without prejudice to the Client’s obligation to reimburse all costs actually incurred, including Travel Costs, External Costs and External Services, to the extent that such costs have already been incurred or irrevocably committed at the time of the amendment, cancellation or termination. This shall include non-refundable costs incurred at the Client’s request, such as a non-refundable airline ticket.

10.5 Where the Client cancels a Booking, he shall notify TCC as soon as reasonably practicable by e-mail or WhatsApp and shall ensure that TCC has received and processed the cancellation. A cancellation shall be valid only if the Client clearly and unequivocally states that the relevant Booking is cancelled.
10.6 Where the Client fails to attend the Booking without prior notice, this shall be deemed to constitute a cancellation less than six hours before commencement, and the Client shall remain liable for payment of the full Booking Fee.
10.7 Where the Client has failed, without prior consultation, to provide the essential information required for the performance of the Booking no later than two hours before its commencement, TCC may cancel the Booking. In such event, the Client shall remain liable for payment of the full Booking Fee.
10.8 Where the Client has paid a Deposit, such Deposit shall be set off against the amount payable by the Client under this Article. Any remaining balance shall be refunded, unless these General Terms and Conditions expressly provide otherwise.
10.9 Where the Client repeatedly cancels Bookings or repeatedly withdraws Booking Requests, TCC may treat this as grounds for requiring a Deposit or full payment in advance in respect of any subsequent Booking Request or Booking, as referred to in Article 5.6.
10.10 Where, during the Booking, the Client fails to comply with any requirement set out in Article 6 (Client Requirements), he shall be given one opportunity to remedy such failure within a reasonable period.

If the Client fails to remedy the breach within that period, the Booking shall be terminated immediately without any entitlement to a refund.
10.11 Where the Booking is terminated as a result of the Client acting in breach of these General Terms and Conditions, the full Booking Fee shall remain payable, without prejudice to any contractual penalties or other claims to which TCC may be entitled.

10.14 Where the Client terminates the Booking within ten minutes of its commencement because he is dissatisfied with the Courtesan, no compensation shall be payable, provided that the Client has previously made a Booking through TCC and TCC has no reasonable grounds to conclude that the Client has failed to comply with these General Terms and Conditions. Where the Client has not previously made a Booking through TCC, he shall pay the Courtesan compensation in the amount of €100, provided that he immediately informs TCC and/or the Courtesan of his objection, and in any event within ten minutes of the commencement of the Booking, has not touched the Courtesan, and the Booking takes place in the Netherlands.
10.15 The Client may terminate the Booking without charge where the Courtesan differs materially from her photographs, behaves in a manner inconsistent with the standards of a high-class escort, or where her personal grooming or attire does not correspond with that standard, provided that the Client immediately communicates his objection, stating the reasons therefor. TCC shall determine whether such objection is well-founded.
10.16 Where the Client does not satisfy the conditions set out in Articles 10.14 or 10.15, termination of the Booking within the first ten minutes shall not give rise to any entitlement to a refund, and the full Booking Fee shall remain payable.
10.17 Where the Client terminates the Booking after the first ten minutes, he shall pay for the number of full hours spent with the Courtesan, whereby the current hour shall be deemed to constitute a full hour, subject to the applicable minimum Booking duration.

10.22 Where the Client, of his own initiative, does not make use of all services agreed in the Booking Confirmation, no entitlement to a refund shall arise.
10.23 A rate adjustment as referred to in the second sentence of Article 4.2, resulting from additional requests made by the Client, shall not entitle the Client to terminate the Booking, whether in whole or in part.
10.24 Where circumstances as referred to in Article 6 result in the Booking being performed only in part by the Courtesan, the Client shall not be entitled to any refund.
11.1 TCC and the Courtesan maintain an equal intermediary relationship. The Courtesan shall be entitled to refuse any Booking Request. Accordingly, TCC accepts no responsibility or liability for any act or omission of the Courtesan vis-à-vis the Client.

If performance cannot resume within a reasonable period, both the Client and TCC shall be entitled to cancel the Booking without TCC incurring any liability for damages. Where TCC has already performed part of its obligations, it shall be entitled to invoice the Client separately for that part.
