TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
Terms and Conditions for the Use of Spread
- Waiver of Client's Standard Terms and Conditions
The client expressly waives the application of their own standard terms and conditions, even if these are issued after the present terms and conditions. Any deviations from these terms must be expressly agreed upon in advance and in writing to be valid. - Payment Terms
Our invoices are payable within 21 working days unless otherwise specified on the invoice or purchase order. In case of non-payment by the due date, Spread reserves the right to charge a fixed interest fee of 10% on the outstanding balance. Spread may suspend any ongoing services without prior notice in the event of late payment.
If payment remains outstanding for more than sixty (60) days after the due date, Spread reserves the right to engage a debt recovery agency. All legal and recovery expenses will be borne by the client. - Withholding Taxes
In certain jurisdictions, tax laws may require the client to withhold taxes on invoice amounts. Any such withholding taxes must be paid by the client to the relevant tax authorities. Under no circumstances will Spread be liable for any costs related to the tax laws of the client’s country. The full invoiced amount remains payable to Spread, excluding any deductions or withholdings due to local tax legislation. - Service Provision and Liability
Spread will make every effort to deliver high-quality services within the agreed timeframes. However, Spread's obligations are best-effort and not result-based obligations. Under no circumstances can Spread be held liable as a third party in any claims for damages made against the client by an end consumer. - Claims and Disputes
Any claims must be communicated to Spread via registered mail sent to its registered office within 8 days of service delivery. Claims submitted after this period will not be considered. - Sales Are Final and No Reimbursements
All sales are final upon confirmation of the order. Spread does not offer refunds or reimbursements for any services rendered, unless otherwise explicitly agreed upon in writing. The client accepts that once payment is made and services are provided, no refunds will be issued under any circumstances. - Software License and Usage
Upon purchase, the client is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Spread in accordance with the terms outlined. The client may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our software unless they have written consent from Spread. - Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights related to the software, including but not limited to trademarks, logos, and source code, remain the exclusive property of Spread. The client is not permitted to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software in any way. - Data Privacy and Security
Spread is committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of client data. The client agrees to comply with applicable data protection regulations, including GDPR, where relevant. Spread is not liable for any unauthorized access to the client's data due to factors beyond its control (e.g., cyber-attacks). - Termination of Service
Spread reserves the right to terminate services if the client breaches any terms of the agreement, including non-payment, misuse of the software, or violations of intellectual property rights. Upon termination, the client will no longer have access to the software, and any outstanding payments will still be due. - Limitations of Liability
Spread’s liability for any claim arising from the use of its software is limited to the amount paid by the client for the services. Spread is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities. - Governing Law
All contractual relations between Spread and the client will be governed exclusively by Belgian law.
