TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Article 1. Application of general terms and conditions
1.1 These general terms and conditions apply to all offers and services (in-
cluding designs, web developments, online marketing services, seo and
search engine optimisation services, “caretaker” services, subscription
formulas and the lease, sale and maintenance of equipment) of and
agreements with Agile, notwithstanding conflicting provisions stated
on documents of the client. These general conditions also apply to all
occasional orders and performances of Agile. By relying on or using a
service of Agile, and thus by placing an order, the client acknowledges
that he has received a copy of these terms and conditions from Agile
and irrevocably accepts its implementation to the exclusion of all other.
1.2 These terms and conditions may be modified at any time by Agile. Mod-
ifications shall take effect from the second month following the month
in which the notice was given of the modification. If the client does not
accept these modifications, he may terminate the contract by means of
a registered cancellation addressed to Agile, within a period of 1 month
following the date on which the notice was given. If applicable, the agree-
ment shall end the moment that the modified conditions take effect.
1.3 These terms and conditions revoke and supersede all previous, while the
applicable version can always be consulted on the website of Agile.

Article 2. Offers and quotations – orders
2.1 All offers, quotations, estimates and financial proposals of Agile are
without obligation and are only submitted for informational purposes
until such time that the client accepts. The order by the client can only
exist when the quotation is signed in agreement within eight days,
unchanged, and returned to Agile. Every order by the client is binding
for the client. Client orders are irrevocable. The client is deemed to
know the features, characteristics, etc. of the goods and/or the service
and chooses the type of material and/or service based on his needs and
under his sole responsibility. The order replaces all previously completed
and/or verbal agreements. The order will be executed from receipt of
the advance payment.

Article 3. Cancellation of the order
3.1 Agile reserves the right to refuse an order entirely or partially, even if
the order is based on a price estimate prepared by Agile. If Agile only
partially accepts an order, they shall inform the client of this and the
client will be deemed to accept this, except when a registered letter is
sent indicating the cancellation of the entire order, within 5 working
days after sending the abovementioned notice. In such a case, the use
of the service and/or receipt of the goods shall at least apply as accep-
tance of the contract and these terms and conditions.
3.2 The cancellation of an order by the client is possible as long as Agile has
not yet started its activities with regard to the order, or as long as no
goods have been supplied yet; always subject to payment of a cancella-
tion fee of 40% of the agreed price, with a minimum of 500 EUR.

Article 4. Deliver – completion
4.1 The accepted order will be delivered to the best ability within the period
specified in the contract and failing this, within a reasonable period.
Quoted delivery or completion dates are purely indicative and do not
produce any result obligations on the part of Agile. Delay in delivery
or completion does not entitle the client to any compensation or price
reduction, nor the dissolution of the agreement.
4.2 If parties have expressly agreed on a delivery date, this date will be ex-
tended if the client fails to provide the required information, documents,
original, pictures (timely) and to accept the finale samples (timely), or
if the client places additional orders that are not related to orders for
which a delivery date has been agreed to.
4.3 If Agile, due to any cause beyond its control or due to force majeure, is
unable to perform an accepted order or services or to do so within the
specified delivery or completion date, Agile may, by simple notification,
extend the delivery or completion date or terminate the contract without
owing any compensation.

Article 5. Risk
5.1 All goods belonging to the client and in the possession of Agile (located
at the address of the company or in its collocation spaces), will be
stored at the risk of the client.

Article 6. Guarantee
6.1 If the goods or services provided by Agile (placing a website, web appli-
cation or other online application on a live environment) shows visible
defects upon delivery or completion or is materially non-compliant with
the order, the client should indicate this at that directly on the delivery
slip, invoice or transport document. The client shall inform Agile via
registered mail of the visible defects or non-compliance within 5 work-
ing days following delivery, along with a copy of the document stating
this fact, as mentioned above. After this period, the goods or delivered
service is considered to have been finally accepted by the client.
6.2 Agile does not issue any guarantee or indemnity for latent defects in
delivered goods. Rendered services have a guarantee period of 3 months
following completion, but absolutely no indemnification for latent defects.
The guarantee is also limited to the detailed technical aspects of a project
and should be such that the use of the website, web application or other
online application is prevented by it. There is absolutely no guarantee to
other aspects (visual, ease of use etc.) that does not prevent use.

Article 7. Payment procedures
7.1 Unless otherwise specified, prices and rates are those that apply at the
time the quote is accepted and the contract is concluded.
7.2 The price is irreducible and, in particular, cannot be discounted if a part
of the service, entirely or partially, cannot be performed.
7.3 With each order, the customer must pay 40% of the invoice amount in
advance. The services will only be started following the payment of this
advance payment. For projects over 50 man-days, a milestone * invoice
will be prepared upon validation of the development of half of the devel-
opment by the client, this is 30% of the total cost. The remaining 30% (or
60%) will be invoiced upon completion. The payment of the final invoice
should always take place prior to completion of a live environment.
7.4 Unless otherwise specified, invoices will be prepared prior to the rendering
of any services, billing period or delivery, and all invoices are payable
in cash on the bank account of Agile indicated on the invoice, unless
otherwise agreed or specified on the invoice. In the absence of a regis-
tered letter, protesting to the invoice, within 14 days after the date of the
invoice, the invoice shall be deemed to have been irrevocably accepted.
7.5 Any payment received by Agile will first be settled to the accrued interest
and damages, followed by the principal sum of the first overdue invoice.
7.6 If the invoice is unpaid on the date of expiration (Agile currency ac-
count), then the amount is automatically and legally, and without any
prior notice, increased by a fixed compensation of respectively € 25 for
an amount less than or equal to € 250, € 50 for an amount between
€ 250 and € 500, and 15% for an amount of € 500 or more per
invoice, with a maximum of € 5,000 per invoice, as well as by way of
default interest of 1% per month, where a part of a month counts as a
whole month, until the day of actual payment, without affecting its right
to reimbursement of the legal costs and compensation for all relevant
recovery costs.
7.7 Accrued interest, which are due for a full year at least, will in their turn
be increased by the same interest rate.
7.8 In case of any unpaid balance, Agile is entitled to suspend any further
delivery and / or performance awaiting full payment and dependent

on a guarantee and / or debit order, in which the client undertakes to
comply with within 8 days following the first request thereof by Agile,
failing which Agile is entitled to terminate the contract at the expense
and risk of the client. Moreover, the guarantee is then legally lifted,
without this lifting extending the guarantee period.
7.9 In the event of an unpaid balance, every invoice or claim, even if not
expired, shall be immediately claimable.
7.10 The services are invoiced irrespective of whether it was used or not.

Article 8. Complaints – protesting the invoice

by registered mail. For complaints or disputes relating to the delivered
goods or services, the period commences on the day after completion.
With respect of the invoice, the period begins on the date of invoice.
In the absence of a timely protest, the services / invoices are finally
accepted and payment is due.

deceit, for any damages caused by the delivered by its goods and / or
