Agreements

Materialisation of an Agreement

All offers and tenders of Supplier are free of obligations, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the offer or the tender. A formulated tender does not oblige Supplier to supply a part thereof against a corresponding part of the price offered.

The Supplier can state a period of validity for each offer or tender. If no period of validity is stated, a period of validity of 21 days shall be assumed.

After acceptance of the offer by Client, immediate revocation by Supplier is possible. In case of revocation the Agreement does not materialise and Supplier is therefore obliged to repay all payments that have already been received from Client. Supplier can refuse a prospect Client for reasons of its own.

An Agreement can materialise in two ways:

  • if the Client confirms the offer or tender in writing, per e-mail, or in way to be specified further;
  • if the Client confirms the offer or tender in writing, per e-mail, or in way to be specified further;
  • if the client starts using or purchasing the Product or Service from the offer or tender. In the latter case the Supplier shall send a confirmation of the materialisation of the Agreement to client in writing or per e-mail.

Client herewith authorises Supplier to include his or her personal data in a personal register, in as far as necessary for the implementation of and compliance with the Agreement. This personal register is only accessible for Supplier and shall not be made available to third parties, unless Supplier is obliged to do so by virtue of the Law or a judicial verdict.

Duration of an Agreement

The Agreement is entered into for the term as determined in the Agreement, or the term that is stated in the offer and/or the Supplemental Terms & Conditions for the respective Product/Service. If both the Agreement and the Supplemental Terms & Conditions do not state provisions with regard to the duration of the Agreement, then a term of one (1) year automatically applies.

Renewal of an Agreement

An Agreement shall be renewed in accordance with the arrangements established thereto in the Agreement. If both the Agreement and the Terms & Conditions do not contain provisions with regard to renewals, then the Agreement is tacitly renewed with a period equal to the period that ends at that time.

Cancellation of an Agreement

Both the Supplier and the Client are entitled to cancel an Agreement with due regard of the cancellation term agreed to in the Agreement. If the Agreement does not contain provisions with regard to the cancellation term, a period of two (2) weeks applies in case of short-term Agreements (shorter than 3 months), and a period of one (1) month applies in case of long-term Agreements (3 months or longer).

Both the Supplier and the Client are entitled to immediately cancel an Agreement if:

  • the counterparty has (temporarily) filed for postponement of payment or this has been granted to him;
  • the counterparty is in state of bankruptcy or a claim for bankruptcy has been filed against him;
  • the company of the counterparty is liquidated;
  • the activities of the counterparty have factually ceased to exist;
  • the counterparty is in default.

Implementation of an Agreement

Information obligation and collaboration

The Client obliges himself to provide the Supplier with all necessary data that the Supplier needs in order to be able to supply the Product or carry out the Service. The Supplier obliges himself to explicitly indicate as soon as possible which information is needed and to offer and/or start using a suitable communication channel for the respective information.

If he Supplier depends on the collaboration of the Client for the supply of the product and/or carrying out the Service then Client obliges himself to provide the necessary collaboration. The Supplier obliges himself to explicitly indicate as soon as possible what the collaboration should consist of.

The Client is aware that when the necessary information from and/or collaboration by the Client is lacking this can result in a delay of the supply of the Product and/or carrying out the Service. If the occasion arises, the Supplier shall inform the Client on this.

Confidentiality

Both parties are obliged to confidentiality towards third parties with regard to data of a confidential nature in whichever form, unless prior permission has been granted for this, or when this data within reason can be regarded as non-confidential, or if the counterparty has published this data in any way by itself. If one of the parties is obliged by virtue of the Law or a judicial verdict to provide data on the counterparty to government authorities or to agencies appointed to that means by the authorities, the confidentiality obligation for that specific situation lapses.

Supplier shall treat data from or on Suppliers, Agreements, and Products and Services supplied with due diligence. Data is not provided to third parties. Data is not made available to government agencies unless a legal obligation or a judicial measure exists to that means.

Supplier shall register and keep information on the Client, including personal data on representatives of the Client, only when this is needed for the execution of activities within the framework of the Agreements entered into in this respect.

Supplier is entitled to (temporarily) shut down the Hosting Account or to limit the use thereof without prior notification in as far as this is necessary for emergency maintenance and/or urgent adaptations or improvements of the Hosting Account to be carried out by Supplier, without this resulting in a right for compensation of damages from the Client towards Supplier. Supplier shall make his best efforts to limit such situations to an absolute minimum.

Supplier is authorised to apply modifications to the Hosting Account if the Supplier judges that this is necessary because of the quality and/or availability of the Hosting Account for the Client, or for the quality and/or availability of the provision of services to other clients of Suppliers and/or to third parties.
