Vengo sets the application at the disposal of both professional and non professional Transportation Providers.
Only non-professional Transport Providers can then rely on the regulation of sharing economy, as indicated below. If the non-professional Transportation Provider can not appeal to the regulation of sharing economy, he is solely responsible to report its activity to the applicable social, fiscal and tax authorities according to the applicable regulations (activity as self-employed). Vengo can never and under no circumstances be held liable for the consequences of any misuse by a non-professional Transportation Provider and/or for providing incorrect information to the Application.
The professional Transportation Provider acknowledges and guarantees that he is a professional carrier and is subject to the rules relating to carriage of goods by road and, if necessary, holds a valid transportation permit issued in accordance with the law on the carriage of goods by road.
The professional Transportation Provider recognises and ensures that it complies with all the essential conditions for access to the profession, including where appropriate:
Fixed and actual location
Certificate of professional competence
Reliability, i.e. no criminal conviction and/or prohibition from practice or penalty due to serious infringements of the legislation in force.
Financial capacity required for admission to the occupation.
The professional Transportation Provider commits itself to be, if applicable, in possession of all legal, relevant permits before the delivery of transport services. All damages and/or legal actions (including, but not limited to direct and indirect consequential damage) arising from the fact that the Transportation Provider does not have all the necessary and applicable licenses, will exclusively be at the expense of the Transportation Provider.
The non-professional Transportation Provider ensures that the vehicle used by him (private car or company car) meets all legal and contractual (in case the car policy by the employer) requirements to use the Application and to provide the Service as Transportation Provider.
The non-professional Transport provider shall ensure that the loading capacity of the vehicle used is never exceeded at a Service deliverable or provided by him.
It is expressly prohibited to the Non-Professional Transportation Provider to use a vehicle with a loading capacity in excess of 500 kg and/oruse it for the delivery of the Service.
All damages and/or legal actions (including, but not limited to direct and indirect consequential damage) arising from the fact that the non-professional Transportation Provider does not meet all the applicable regulations, only come at the expense of the non-professional Transportation Provider.
If the Transportation Provider meets all the conditions determined by the regulations on sharing economy and Vengo at that time holds the required approval, the Transportation Provider can possibly enjoy other rules relating to payroll tax, income tax, vat, declaration in self-employment status, and such more. It is the full responsibility of the Transportation Provider to inform Vengo at any time and with every provision of the Service of its Statute, the totality of services that he has already delivered and of the applicable regulations and that via (modification of) the user profile in the Application.
Vengo will conform the indications of the User, reduce all applicable amounts, transmit and transfer the amounts, forms and certificates.
Vengo can never be held liable for social, fiscal and VAT claims and/or liabilities and that -understood in the broadest sense- originating from the Transportation Provider or User, End customer as a result of the use of the Application or the delivery of the Service. Vengo is not liable for errors, omissions and errors by the Transportion Provider that delivers a Service under a wrong statute or a not logged on status, including an incorrect appeal on the regulation of share economy (for example, by using several platforms).
After the Service has been provided, Vengo will send the payment of the applicable costs by the End Customer to the Transport Provider, in accordance with the modalities/procedures set out in this article.
After delivery of the Service, in other words after delivery in accordance with the arrangements in the Application, Vengo will, on the one hand and automatically, invoice the End User for the costs of the Application Rate. On the other hand, Vengo will, if necessary by means of self-billing, provide the Transport Provider with the Application Rate applicable to it. Both always in accordance with the modalities as set out in this article.
All costs are immediately due and payable upon expiry of the agreed term of payment, and are paid via the use of the payment method specified in the Account. A receipt and/or invoice will be sent by e-mail which initiates the term of payment.
Vengo reserves the right to to establish and/or review itself additional costs for all services and goods obtained through the use of the Service and Application in accordance with the discretionary power of Vengo and this prior to accepting the assignment.
The amount that is charged for the Service, on acceptance of the order by the Transport Provider, will be charged by Vengo to the credit card of the End customer, without prejudice to other payment methods allowed by Vengo according to its discretion
On behalf of the Transport supplier Vengo will charge transport services provided by the Transport provider to the end customer.
The End customer agrees to pay for all transport services, which he buys from the Transport provider, Vengo will pay the transport services, including any taxes and additional charges as applicable, used by or in connection with the Account of the End customer, to be charged to the credit card account or other payment method, which was specified at registration.
The End customer is always accountable for the timely payment of all costs and to provide Vengo with a valid credit card account to provide for the payment of all costs if no other method of payment was agreed.
The payments made are not viable for refund.
The End Customer will receive the invoice by e-mail at delivery. The End customer is deemed to have received the invoice by email on delivery, if the end customer has not requested an invoice from Vengo within 2 days after delivery. The invoice is payable 7 days after the date of dispatch. Late payment will result in the imposition of a rate of interest of 12 % on the entire amount and that from the original payment date, that all to be increased by a flat-rate compensation clause of 50,00 euro. The interests will be automatically capitalized.
If the Transport Provider is an enterprise, the 'Self-Billing' system (self-invoicing or invoice issued by the buyer) will apply to the transport service performed, which will be reimbursed via Vengo, in accordance with the modalities determined by Vengo at that time and which have been passed on by the Transport Provider via the Application.
Vengo and the Transport Provider agree that the settlements (hereinafter referred to as "Self-Bills") as part of the self-billing are subject to an implicit declaration of acceptance by the Provider, as stipulated in Circular 53/2013 (E.T.123.724) of 16 December 2013. This means that each Self-Bill is considered to be accepted from a VAT point of view, unless the Provider responds within two weeks after the month in which the self-invoicing invoice was issued.
Prior to accepting the order, the Transport Provider selects the preferred option regarding the payment term in the Application. This payment term to be selected is:
Either a payment within a period of 10 working days after the completion of The Service, in accordance with the application of the costs specified in the Application.
Either a payment after receipt of the fee for The End Customer's Service to the account of Vengo, plus an administrative processing period of 10 working days.
After completion of the Service, the Transport Provider will receive the self-bill, drawn up by Vengo.
If the Provider has any comments about the content of the self-bill sent to him, he will communicate them to Vengo by means of two copies of a non-acceptance message. This document contains at least the following information: date of issue of the self-bill, information about both parties, and serial/reference number of the self-bill and the reason for non-acceptance.
The Transport Provider shall sign both copies of the non-acceptance notice - including the name and position of the signatory - and send one copy to Vengo. These copies of the notification of non-acceptance will be kept in the accounts of both Parties for a period of 7 years from 1 January following the date of issue.
Each self-bill is consecutively numbered by Vengo. It is the decision of the Transport Provider to register the self-bill in its accounts as follows:
Either a register of outgoing invoices by self-bill (containing only Vengo's self-bill) under the number indicated on the self-bill.
Or a (single) booklet with outgoing invoices that is consecutively numbered in a way that is specific to this booklet. With regard to the latter option, the Provider will keep a chart showing the relationship between the serial number on the self-bill and the number registered in the (single) book for outgoing invoices.
Vengo provides a box on the Self-Bill so that the Transport Provider can fill in a corresponding invoice number itself so that the Transport Provider can easily keep his/her accounts.
Vengo and the Transport Provider declare that they have read and understood this agreement and circular no. 53/2013. If one of the parties is unable to fulfil its obligations under these General Terms and Conditions, the party that has failed to fulfil its obligations is liable to the other party for the consequences of failing to fulfil its obligations.
When the Transport Provider appeals to the law and regulations in relation to sharing economy Vengo will, in accordance with those regulations, deduct the levy payable immediately at the source and transmit it for the account of the Transport Provider to the applicable service. Vengo will still transfer the amount to the account of the Transportation Provider, within the preferred payment period and as communicated through the Application, reduced with the earlier mentioned levy.
Vengo is not liable for any direct, indirect, occasional, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, nor for lost profits, data, personal injury or property damage directly or indirectly related to or resulting from any of the following circumstances:
The use of the application, or the inability to use this, including damage caused by malware, viruses or any incorrectness or incompleteness of the information of the Application, unless such damage is the result of intent or gross negligence on the part of Vengo.

The quality of the transport services requested via the use of the Application is entirely the responsibility of the Transport Provider who provides the transport services to the End User.
The End customer is responsible for the cost of repair for any damage to, or necessary cleaning of vehicles and property of the Transport Provider as a result of the transport of the requested good, if the damage or necessary cleaning exceeds the normal limits of transport.

The principles set out in this chapter only relate to the insurance conditions and obligations of the User, they do not in any way affect the liability and responsibility of the User, and should therefore be interpreted in the strictest sense in case of possible lack of clarity.
In accordance with the General conditions as well as the agreed and particular clauses that are described in these insurance conditions, the bvba Vengo has endorsed insurance policies at the company(s) represented by NV Induver insurance, with social Office at 3550 Heusden-Zolder 9 market square, bus 22 and registered with the competent authorities under the following numbers:
The endorsed policies that the SPRL Vengo has ratified, acting for its own account and/or account of who it may concern, are clarified in the following insurance conditions:
All general goods that are part of the professional activity of the End customer are insured for damage, theft and non-delivery. The following goods however are excluded from any claim on insurance from Vengo or of the Transport Provider by the End customer:
Is always excluded from insurance – without prejudice to the liability of the user – the fee by total/partial loss, damage, delay in delivery and/or costs caused by:
The End customer will be able to opt for an insurance against compensation offered by Vengo, with the following options (which from time to time can be modified by Vengo on a discretionary basis after explicit message):
The evaluation of the insured value will be based on the invoice. The transport costs, freight charges, customs duties, expected profit, any value increases and VAT shall under no circumstances be assured.
In case of damage the intervention of the insurer depends on the insurance option chosen by the End Customer. Depending on the Goods and the Transport Provider one or more options are offered to the End Customer. These opportunities are not complementary and therefore there will always be one possible insurance option to be chosen by the End Customer.
In the event of underinsurance the selected insurance will reimburse the damage only in proportion to the insured limits and the right amounts in risk.
If the End Customer selects the option of the Application of a complete waiver of recourse towards Vengo, this has the consequence that Vengo is under no contractual liability as a broker – freight forwarder nor as an actual carrier where it concerns the transported goods, specifically the direct and material damage, including theft and non-delivery caused to the goods and/or objects of third parties.
In the selection of the End customer to take out an insurance for an exact yet limited value of the goods within the predefined limits of 500 EUR, EUR 1250, 2500 EUR or 5000 EUR, coverage will be provided for all material damage and/or losses during road transport (according to article 6.5 of the Property insurance of Antwerp DD. 20/04/2004).
It is always the responsibility of the End customer to check the Transport Provider on his possession of a C.M.R.-insurance, if the End customer considers this necessary. Vengo will only play a facilitating role in the delivery of the necessary data of the Transport Provider. In any case, the C.M.R.-insurance only covers for the execution of the transportation by Transport Providers with a transport permit and a valid C.M.R. document. However, Vengo never checks the connected Transport providers explicitly on their possession of these documents as a C.M.R.-goods insurance or other cargo insurance. The End customer will not be able to hold Vengo liable for damages according to the C.M.R.-Convention, other similar laws or general conditions of carriage, as for example used AVC (Netherlands), RHA (UK) or contrats types (France) that are applicable in the country within which the transport is carried out.
In case of damage the exemption on the part of the Insurer depends on the by the End Customer chosen insurance option as described above.
At the option of complete waiver of recourse an exemption for 100% of the damage claim will be valid.
When opting for damage up to a certain maximum amount of 500,00 EUR, 1.250,00 EUR, 2.500,00 EUR or 5.000,00 EUR the exemption is nil.
The warranty commences at the time that the goods and/or objects are taken, in exchange for the document to be drafted by the Transport Provider, and ends at the time they have reached and been unloaded at the destination listed on the consignment document. If no consignment document is signed, under no circumstances the in Article 5 mentioned C.M.R.-insurance applies. All other insurances will remain in full force and commence at the time that the Transport Provider indicates in the Application to have taken the goods and end at the time that these have been indicated in the Application to have arrived at the destination.
The by the End Customer chosen insurance is only valid for damage or loss to the Goods within the European Union, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Damage or loss will only be guaranteed through the insurance if it is transported by road transport. Transport can also be carried out by the self-employed without transport permit or private individuals.
The packaging must be customary and adjusted to the nature of the goods and the intended journey, this is to say, according to the business practices.
Are applicable according to this insurance conditions, the goods for own account or by whom it may concern and, as far as there was given a mandate to ensure, for notice of a claim, according to the choice made in accordance with article 5.
All risks of intermediate storage as well as any transhipment as well as the risks related to the manufacturing process are not to be borne by the Insurer. Also the risks of war, strikes and riots are not covered.
Any damage claim must be declared to the Insurer as soon as possible via Vengo, i.e. as soon as the End customer has taken note of this.
In order to facilitate and speed up the settlement of damage, the End customer as well as the receiver of the goods are requested to transmit to the Insurer, in the shortest time possible, through the mediation of Vengo, a complete file, consisting of the following documents:
If the End Customer fails to submit the completed documents, Vengo will be exempt from any compensation for damage and/or losses during road transport caused by an accident as well as in the event of loss and/or theft of the Goods in General. For submitting an insurance file or questions regarding refunds you can contact us via info@vengo.technology or via the phonenumber +32 11 91 08 91.
