-
De Fabrikrant is entitled to postpone the payment to the Business Seller if, in the opinion of De Fabrikrant, this is necessary to protect its Platform, Customers, third parties, or good name, or if there is a suspicion that the Business Seller is acting in violation of these Terms of Use, including but not limited to situations where there are indications that ordered and paid Items will not be delivered to Customers due to scarcity or fraudulent activities.

De Fabrikrant is entitled to offset all amounts receivable by the Business Seller under these Terms of Use, or receivable amounts under any other agreement concluded with the Business Seller, against the next payment received by De Fabrikrant as specified in Article 6.6. De Fabrikrant may also choose to send an invoice for these amounts to the Business Seller, which the Business Seller must settle within the term specified on the invoice.
