Below you will find the general terms and conditions governing partnerships with Stichting Health Valley Netherlands (hereinafter: ‘Health Valley’). Hereinafter, the term, ‘Partner’, refers to any party that enters into a partnership with Health Valley.
Partnerships
The Health Valley partnership is linked to a legal entity or a natural person and is not transferable.
Registration for the Health Valley partnership is done through the (Dutch) Partnership Registration Form, available on this website.
Partners will be listed on the Health Valley website with their company logo and company profile, including a link to their company website and email address. This information must be provided to Health Valley by the Partner. Health Valley reserves the right to impose additional requirements on the content of the information that the Partner wishes to place on the Health Valley website.
Personal data is processed in the execution of Health Valley's activities. The processing of personal data is subject to Health Valley's Privacy and Cookie Statement, which is available on this website.
The partnership is entered into for a calendar year. The partnership is automatically renewed for the following calendar year unless the Partner has terminated the partnership no later than one month before the end of the current calendar year. Termination of the partnership with Health Valley is done through the (Dutch) Partnership Termination Form, available on this website
Termination takes effect at the end of the calendar year. Health Valley is authorized to terminate the partnership at any time for any reason at the end of the current calendar year.
Partner’s contribution
Partners are annually required to pay a partner contribution. This contribution is determined annually by the board of Health Valley.
With regard to determining the amount of the partner contribution due for any given year, Health Valley assigns a Partner to one of the categories based on the information it has. If a Partner objects to this classification, they must provide evidence to the satisfaction of the Director of Health Valley demonstrating which other category they belong to.
The classification of organizations into size categories corresponds to the definition established by the European Commission (see attachment). The board of Health Valley can change this classification annually, whether or not in response to a change by the European Commission.
Partner Contribution 2027 (the mentioned amounts are exclusive of 21% VAT and are annually indexed):
Basic | € 990,- |
Bronze | € 1.650,- |
Silver | € 3.200,- |
Gold | € 5.900,- |
Platinum | € 16.000,- |
The above rates apply to healthcare innovators. For facilitating and supporting partners, the contribution for the Silver package applies.
Start-up companies pay the reduced partner contribution for a period of three years from the date of their first registration with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van Koophandel). The regular partner contribution applies from the first quarter after this period has expired.
The invoice for the annual partner contribution is issued in the fourth quarter for the following partnership year or, if the partnership is entered into during the course of the calendar year, at another time. The partner is responsible for providing correct correspondence details or notifying any changes to them.
The invoice is provided by post or e-mail and must be paid within 14 days of the invoice date. The Partner is not entitled to suspend or set off payment of the invoice, or otherwise delay payment. Health Valley reserves the right to change the method of collection per calendar year or in the interim.
Partners who enter into a partnership with Health Valley during a calendar year owe the partner contribution in proportion to the number of months they are a member during that year.
Partners who become a member as of 1 October of a calendar year will also be a member for the entire following calendar year. Partners will receive a single invoice for this (pro rata for the relevant year plus the annual partner contribution for the relevant package for the following calendar year)
If the partner contribution is not paid on time, Health Valley may suspend all its obligations towards the Partner. In addition, in the event of late payment, the Partner is in default without any notice of default being required, and Health Valley has the right to terminate the partnership with immediate effect.
A Partner is under no circumstances entitled to a refund of a paid partner contribution.
Health Valley is not liable to the Partner for any failure to perform the agreement, or for any damage suffered by the Partner in connection with the partnership, except in the case of intent or gross negligence on the part of Health Valley. Health Valley is furthermore not liable for any failure on the part of third parties engaged by it, except in the case of intent or gross negligence on the part of Health Valley. Should Health Valley be liable to the Partner, such liability shall in all cases be limited to the partner contribution. The Partner indemnifies Health Valley against any claims by third parties in connection with the performance of the agreement and/or the partnership.
Health Valley reserves the right not to accept applications for partnership. In other words: not all applications inevitably lead to a partner membership.
Commitment
A Health Valley partnership means that a Partner is committed to Health Valley's mission and vision. Partners realize that the network is not only about individual interests, but also about solidarity and collective interests. This means that Partners makes an active contribution, not only in money, but also in time and effort. For example in the form of:
participation in organized activities; from
exchange of knowledge and experience.
By actively participating in the organized activities, Partners show that networking only yields if participants are willing to invest in the network before being able to harvest.
