General contract terms for payment supervision and collection
1 Acceptance of assignment
1.1 Uuva Oy is, among other things, a Finnish company offering voluntary and legal collection services. Uuva Oy is a member of Suomen Perimistoimistojen Liitto RY.
Collection permit ESAVI/8728/04.06.05/2016
1.2 The principal undertakes to send one payment reminder for his overdue receivable on his own initiative before starting the collection order with Uuva, unless otherwise agreed between the principal and Uuva.
1.3 Assignments are transferred to Uuva for voluntary collection upon notification by the principal. Assignments can also be transferred through the Uuva Cloud service.
From Uuva Cloud, you can also see the up-to-date status of each order. Uuva has the right, for a justified reason, not to accept a specific assignment or to stop processing an individual assignment. In this case, Uuva will notify the client of the termination of collection actions and the reason for its decision.
1.4 The parties follow good business and debt collection practices in the handling of assignments and undertake to keep confidential matters concerning each other's business secrets. Uuva has the right to use the client's name or other necessary identification information in its reference list, unless otherwise agreed between the client and Uuva.
1.5 Uuva has the right to change the terms of this agreement by notifying the client electronically or otherwise, if Uuva notifies of such changes one month before the time when the changes in question are intended to enter into force. Any changes to Uuva's price list can be ordered by Uuva to be used immediately.
Change notices can be based, for example, on changes in legislation.
2 Authorization
2.1 The receivables from this service contract are transferred to Uuva with all rights at the time of receipt of the order. Based on the transfer, Uuva has the right in the position of a creditor and with the rights to carry out voluntary and legal debt collection measures related to the assignment.
Uuva also has the right to withdraw the funds accumulated in collection and foreclosure and to use them on behalf of the principal. If necessary, Uuva may also use an external agent or expert to handle the debt collection assignment.
3 Expenses and fees
3.1 In voluntary collection, late fees added to the debt capital (including the principal's right to reimbursement of collection expenses and, if separately agreed, possible interest on late payment) are withheld as Uuva's fee for handling the collection order. If the collection efforts are not even partially successful, the unpaid late payments will remain Uuva's losses.
3.2 The costs and fees incurred for the handling of orders shall be charged to the customer in accordance with the valid price list. In case of successful collection, Uuva charges the customer the VAT portion of the notice and collection fee paid by the debtor. The part of the value added tax included in the order will be offset in connection with the accounting performed by Uuva.
Value added tax is 100% deductible in the principal's taxation, if the principal is liable for value added tax on his activities.
3.3 If the client cancels the assignment after the collection measures have already started, or the assignment is unfounded, Uuva has the special right to charge the client an amount corresponding to the collection cost compensation it has withheld according to section 3.1.
4 Undisputed debt matters and subsequent collection
4.1 The majority of matters brought to Uuva's district courts are dealt with in so-called in a summary procedure, which is mainly intended for uncontested debt claims. These measures consist of filing a brief subpoena application and making a foreclosure application. Uuva charges the client the costs of legal collection in accordance with Uuva's current price list.
4.2 Private claims are transferred to legal collection, if the debtor has not paid the claim during voluntary collection, and according to Uuva's understanding, there is no obstacle to starting legal collection in the debtor's credit information. Uuva informs the client by e-mail or in another way it deems appropriate when the claim has been transferred to legal collection and how the legal collection will be carried out in a cost-effective manner.
4.3 Uuva has no responsibility for costs based on the service contract when handling legal collection. Such expense liability can be agreed upon separately. When the receivable capital is small, Uuva generally proposes to transfer the expense risk arising from submitting a narrow subpoena application from the client to Uuva.
4.4 If the debtor pays the amount owed directly to the client by default, Uuva has the right in the last resort to collect any unpaid expenses and other receivables from the debtor by means of legal collection.
4.5 If the debtor is found to be unreserved in the foreclosure or the debtor is otherwise known to be insolvent and it is not meaningful to proceed with legal collection, the claim will be transferred to subsequent collection at Uuva's discretion. In post-collection, active collection actions are taken if there are significant changes in the debtor's ability to pay. Uuva can also provide the client with a credit loss recommendation.
5 Other legal services
5.1 Uuva offers legal advice, litigation and other services requiring legal expertise to the client within the scope of this service agreement, but also based on a separate assignment relationship.
5.2 The initial consultation on the nature of the legal measures and the determination of the receivables' collectability is free of charge for the client.
Exceptionally, the initiation of procedures may require an advance payment.
As far as possible, all costs arising from legal measures are tried to be paid by an external party (for example, the debtor or an insurance company).
5.3 With regard to disputed claims, the client is responsible for the costs that may be ordered to be paid to the other party in court. If the matter declared uncontested by the client turns out to be disputed due to the defendant's response or for some other reason, Uuva has the right to charge the client the legal costs incurred in handling the case in accordance with the current price list, regardless of whether the lawsuit was brought at the client's or separately agreed Uuva's expense risk.
6 Insolvency proceedings
6.1 Uuva will charge the client for the measures resulting from insolvency proceedings against the client of the client (bankruptcy, personal debt arrangement or corporate restructuring), if this has been agreed.
If it is agreed with the client, Uuva can also leave a payment reminder or a bankruptcy petition in assignments with the threat of bankruptcy. Billing for these procedures takes place in accordance with Uuva's current price list.
7 Validity of the agreement
7.1 The service contract is valid indefinitely from the date of signing by both parties of the contract or when delivered electronically, when the client has accepted the terms of the service contract electronically. In both cases, the agreement also enters into force when the first assignment based on the agreement has been delivered to Uuva. An assignment is considered to be based on a contract when the client submits the first assignment to Uuva after receiving the service agreement with its attachments.
7.2 The mutual termination period of the agreement is one (1) month. Termination must be done in writing. Regardless of the termination or other termination of the contract, Uuva has the right to process the Initiated assignments while the contract is in force until its final decision.
8 Use of Funds
8.1 Uuva keeps the client's funds accumulated as a result of collection and enforcement actions in a separate customer asset account and accounts them to the client without delay.
8.2 When a receivable is collected from the consumer, the accumulated funds are allocated in the following order: default interest on the receivable, capital, reminder costs, collection costs and fees. When a claim is collected from a trader (company, registered association, foundation, business name), the accumulated funds are allocated in the following order:
collection costs and fees, default interest on receivables, reminder costs, capital
9 Notification obligation
9.1 Uuva takes care of communication related to debt collection assignments in relation to external parties. The principal refrains from all communication with his debtors while the collection assignment lasts.
9.2 The client undertakes to deliver to Uuva the necessary documents and powers of attorney for handling the assignment without a separate request. The client is responsible for the correctness of the information he gives to Uuva. When submitting assignments to Uuva, the client undertakes that the basis and amount of the assignments are in accordance with the law and are real. Upon the creation of the assignment relationship and during it, the client undertakes to notify Uuva without delay, if the client's customer disputes his payment obligation based on the assignment, partial payment is applied to the receivable to be collected, or any other circumstance affecting the handling of the matter comes to the attention of the client. If the client violates the notification obligation, Uuva is entitled to compensation for the damages caused by the violation.

10.1 Uuva is not responsible for damage caused by circumstances beyond its control, or the prevention of which would require financially or otherwise unreasonable measures compared to the possible damage.
Under no circumstances is Uuva liable for indirect damages.
