Terms & Conditions
Terms & Conditions
1. The Service
DutchSponsors is a paid subscription service that delivers, by email, a daily selection of job vacancies from employers in the Netherlands able to provide visa sponsorship, matched to the profile supplied by the subscriber. DutchSponsors links to the original postings; applications are submitted directly through the employer's own systems, not through DutchSponsors.
2. Scope and limitations
DutchSponsors is an aggregation and notification service. It is not an employer, a recruitment or employment agency, or an immigration adviser, and is not a party to any application, employment relationship or immigration procedure. DutchSponsors does not place candidates and does not process applications.
3. Independence and sources
DutchSponsors is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) or any employer listed. Employer and sponsorship information is obtained from publicly available sources, including the IND public register of recognised sponsors.
4. No guarantee; no advice
- Inclusion of an employer on the recognised-sponsor register does not guarantee that the employer is recruiting, that a particular role will be sponsored, or that an application will be successful.
- An employer's status as a recognised sponsor does not imply that every vacancy offered by that employer is eligible for visa sponsorship.
- Sponsorship status, salary thresholds and immigration rules are subject to change.
- DutchSponsors does not warrant the accuracy, completeness or availability of any listing and does not provide legal or immigration advice. The subscriber is responsible for verifying information before relying on it.
5. Eligibility and account
The subscriber must be capable of entering into a contract and must provide accurate profile information, and is responsible for the account and the email address provided.
6. Subscription, billing and cancellation
The Service is offered on a rolling monthly plan and/or fixed-term commitment plans (for example 3, 6 or 12 months) at a reduced monthly rate; available plans are shown at checkout.
- Rolling monthly plan: billed monthly in advance with no fixed term; cancellable at any time, with access continuing until the end of the paid month.
- Commitment plans: the selected term applies at the agreed rate. On expiry of the initial term the plan continues on a rolling monthly basis, cancellable at any time on no more than one month's notice (Wet Van Dam), and does not renew for a further fixed term. Notice is given before the term ends.
- Renewal of any plan may be cancelled at any time; a committed term runs to its end, subject to the right of withdrawal (Section 7).
- Prices are displayed inclusive of VAT before ordering, together with the duration, renewal terms and cancellation method. The order is presented as an order with an obligation to pay.
7. Right of withdrawal
Consumers have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts. As the Service is digital and commences immediately, express consent to commence within the withdrawal period is requested at checkout; where withdrawal occurs within 14 days, a proportionate amount is payable for the part already supplied. Full details and the model form are set out under Right of withdrawal and refund.
8. Acceptable use
The Service must be used lawfully and for the subscriber's own job search. Alerts may not be resold, scraped, redistributed or shared as a common feed.
9. Intellectual property and third-party data
Job and company data is obtained from publicly available listings and registers, is not owned by DutchSponsors and is provided for information only. Company names and marks are the property of their respective owners and are used solely to identify the relevant employer and to link to its posting; such use does not imply affiliation or endorsement. DutchSponsors's own text, design and compilation are its intellectual property.
10. Automated matching
Matching is based on information provided by the subscriber and on information extracted from publicly available job listings. It is automated, may infer values such as seniority or field, and results may be incomplete or inaccurate. It constitutes a recommendation only and does not produce a decision with legal or similarly significant effect.
11. Communications
The Service includes daily alert emails. Each email identifies DutchSponsors as sender and contains a one-click unsubscribe facility.
12. Availability
DutchSponsors aims for high availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted operation and may modify or suspend features.
13. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, DutchSponsors is not liable for the accuracy of third-party listings, for any employment or immigration outcome, or for indirect or consequential loss (see the warranties, disclaimers and refund sections below). Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the fees paid in the 3 months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability or right that cannot be excluded or limited under Netherlands law, including mandatory consumer rights and the statutory conformity guarantee for digital services (Articles 7:50aa ff. of the Dutch Civil Code).
14. Indemnity
The subscriber shall indemnify DutchSponsors against claims arising from misuse of the Service or breach of these Terms.
15. Termination
The subscriber may terminate at any time by cancelling. DutchSponsors may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms.
16. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Disputes are subject to the competent courts of the Netherlands, without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights.
17. Amendments
These Terms may be amended; the current version is published here with its date.
18. Severability
If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
19. Service provided “as is”
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free operation. DutchSponsors may modify or suspend features and is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control. These disclaimers are subject to the mandatory-consumer-rights section below.
20. Information, sources and no guaranteed outcome
Job, employer and sponsorship information is obtained from publicly available sources, including employers' career pages and the IND public register. DutchSponsors does not control this information and does not warrant that it is accurate, complete, current or available; listings and sponsorship status may change at any time and should be verified with the employer and on the official IND website before being relied upon.
- The appearance of an employer in the Service indicates an apparent ability to sponsor only; it is not a representation that the employer is recruiting, that a role will be sponsored, or that the subscriber will be hired. An employer's status as a recognised sponsor does not imply that every vacancy it offers is eligible for visa sponsorship.
- DutchSponsors does not guarantee any job offer, visa or residence permit, or other outcome, and is not a party to any application, employment relationship or immigration procedure.
- Nothing provided through the Service constitutes legal, immigration or recruitment advice; DutchSponsors is not an immigration adviser, lawyer, recruiter or employment agency. Any thresholds or rules referenced are indicative, and the IND and a qualified adviser should be consulted.
21. Third-party websites
The Service links to third-party websites, including employers and applicant-tracking platforms. DutchSponsors does not control such sites and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, security or privacy practices; access is at the user's risk and subject to the relevant third-party terms.
22. Mandatory consumer rights
23. Relationship with statutory rights
The disclaimers above concern third-party data and outcomes outside DutchSponsors's control. They do not, and cannot, exclude DutchSponsors's obligation to provide the Service as described. These terms should be read together with the Privacy Policy.
24. Statutory right of withdrawal
A consumer entering into a distance contract has the right to withdraw within 14 days without giving reasons, under Article 6:230o of the Dutch Civil Code implementing the EU Consumer Rights Directive. The period runs from conclusion of the contract.
25. Immediate commencement
As the Service is digital and commences immediately, express consent to commence within the 14-day period is obtained at checkout, together with acknowledgement that a proportionate amount is payable for the part supplied if withdrawal occurs during that period. A record of this consent is retained.
26. Cancellation and withdrawal
- Cancellation: a subscription may be cancelled online via the account, through the same channel used to subscribe. A rolling monthly plan runs to the end of the paid month; a committed term runs to its end and then continues monthly (see Terms, Section 6).
- Withdrawal within 14 days: by email to hello@dutchsponsors.nl or using the model form below. Receipt is confirmed without undue delay.
27. Refunds
Where withdrawal occurs within 14 days, the amount paid is refunded, less a proportionate amount for the period during which the Service was active, within 14 days of notice and using the original payment method. The proportionate amount is calculated against the total price of the selected plan, including for fixed-term commitment plans. Outside the withdrawal period, cancellation of a rolling monthly plan ends future renewals with access continuing to the end of the paid month; a committed term runs to its end before continuing on a monthly basis. No refund is made for the remainder of a committed term except where required by law.
