The treatment agreement is concluded when the client instructs Amsterdam Plastic Surgery to perform treatments. Before concluding the treatment agreement, the client is informed about the intake procedure used, intended results, possible risks and consequences, alternatives for the treatment, the price of the treatment and method of payment, the cooling-off period, and the actions to be taken after the conclusion. of the treatment agreement.
The client will provide Amsterdam Plastic Surgery, partly in response to its questions, to the best of its knowledge with the information and cooperation that it reasonably requires for the execution of the treatment agreement and records this in an extensive anamnesis statement and questionnaire. Each client must identify himself with a legally recognized proof of identity.

Amsterdam Plastic Surgery will perform the treatment to the best of its knowledge and ability and in accordance with the requirements of good workmanship. Amsterdam Plastic Surgery has the right to have certain activities performed by third parties, if and insofar as the proper execution of the agreement requires this. Amsterdam Plastic Surgery does not need to obtain permission from the client for this. The doctor has an effort obligation and no result obligation.

 

5. Cancellation/suspension of the treatment agreement:
Termination or suspension of the treatment agreement is possible if the client behaves improperly or improperly towards Amsterdam Plastic Surgery or its employees or the volunteers working there and/or towards fellow clients.
There are circumstances that prevent the execution of the assignment and that cannot be attributed to Amsterdam Plastic Surgery. These include: strikes in other companies; wildcat strikes or political strikes in the Amsterdam Plastic Surgery business; an unforeseeable shortage of personnel; a general lack of the necessary raw materials and/or other necessary goods or services that are necessary for the execution of the assignment; unforeseeable stagnation at suppliers or other third parties on which Amsterdam Plastic Surgery depends; general transport problems and/or, the cancellation and/or change of flights.
These circumstances are examples of force majeure, insofar as they make it impossible or unreasonably difficult to carry out the assignment.

In the period of force majeure, the obligations of Amsterdam Plastic Surgery are suspended. If that period lasts longer than three months, both parties have the right to dissolve the agreement, without any obligation in that case.

If Amsterdam Plastic Surgery has already partially fulfilled its obligations at the time of the force majeure, it has the right to invoice the part already performed separately.
