Law: Contract(s)

Dutch term or phrase: opzeggingsvergoeding

Indien de gebruiker de overeenkomst voortijdig zou opzeggen (voor andere redenen dan het niet naleven van BENMAR's verplichtingen onder deze overeenkomst) en/of indien deze overeenkomst zou worden ontbonden ten laste van de gebruiker, dan is deze laatste een forfaitaire opzeggingsvergoeding verschuldigd van 460,00 euro (vierhonderd zestig euro) voor elke maand verschil tussen de contractuele minimumduur en het aantal maanden dat de overeenkomst werd uitgevoerd.

forfaitaire opzeggingsvergoeding (contract) liquidated damages for termination ; (employment) all-in severance pay

Explanation:
Perhaps the 'forfaitaire' should somehow be reflected and previous ProZ answers added to, as well as straight business contracts distinguished from employment severance packages.

How to get round 'een' forfaitaire opzeggingsvergoeding in the first case: a liquidated damages package for early termination.

Example sentence(s):

The second link is particularly interesting, as it presents a long bilingual table of instances of usage in EU texts.

Note to reference poster

Asker: Hi Thanks for the help! I also already saw the previous Kudoz translation (in lieu of notice) but I was unsure if the 'opzeggingsvergoeding' for an fired emloyee is the same kind of 'opzeggingsvergoeding' when a business contract between two businesses is terminated. Maybe the rich English language has two different terms for this. And thanks a lot for the invaluable webitext-link!
