The agreement legally ends after expiry of the established period, without requiring notice to that effect.
Article 4: Price and price change
The price is established on the basis of the rates applicable at that moment, which are set by the entrepreneur.

Dutch law applies to all disputes in connection with the agreement. Only the Disputes Committee or a Dutch judge is authorized to take cognizance of these disputes.
In case of a dispute about the realization or execution of this agreement, the dispute must be submitted to the entrepreneur in writing or in another form to be determined by the Disputes Committee, not later than 12 months after the date on which the holiday maker submitted the complaint to the entrepreneur.
In case the entrepreneur wants to bring a dispute before the Disputes Committee, he must ask the holiday maker to express his opinion within five weeks whether or not he wants to come to the Disputes Committee. The entrepreneur must thereby announce that he will consider himself free to bring the dispute before the court after the aforementioned period has passed.
In those places where the terms and conditions speak of Disputes Committee, a dispute can be submitted to the court. If the holiday maker has submitted the dispute to the Disputes Committee, the entrepreneur shall be bound by this choice.
For the handling of disputes, reference is made to the Regulations of the Recreation Disputes Committee. The Disputes Committee is not authorized to hear a dispute that relates to illness, injury, death or the non-payment of an invoice that is not based on a material complaint.
A fee is payable for handling a dispute.
Article 15: Performance bond
HISWA RECRON shall take over the obligations of a HISWA RECRON member towards the holiday maker, imposed on him in a binding opinion by the Disputes Committee, under the conditions agreed upon between HISWA RECRON and the Consumer Disputes Committee (Stichting Geschillencommissie voor Consumentenzaken), if the entrepreneur in question has not complied with them within the period of time set in the binding opinion. See www.recron.nl/nakaomingsgarantie
If the proprietor has submitted the binding decision to the civil court for review within two months of its date, any compliance with the binding decision will be suspended until the civil court has handed down its decision.
The application of the compliance guarantee requires that the holiday maker makes a written appeal to HISWA RECRON.
