Offers and agreements

All offers and other expressions of Fozzels are without obligation, unless otherwise indicated in writing by Fozzels.
The Client guarantees the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by or on behalf of the Client to Fozzels on which Fozzels has based its offer from 2.1, with the exception of obvious typographical errors.
An agreement is established by (digital) signing of an appropriate document by both parties.

Duty of Care Fozzels

In performing the work, Fozzels will exercise the care that may be expected of a professional IT service provider, making every effort to perform the services to the best of its ability. All services are performed on the basis of an obligation of effort.
Fozzels makes reasonable efforts to realize agreed (delivery) dates. However, deadlines are always target deadlines. If Fozzels does not realize a deadline, the client may give Fozzels notice of default, setting a reasonable deadline to still perform. If Fozzels is still in default after that period has expired, it shall be in default.
If fulfillment by Fozzels is hindered by insufficient cooperation by the client, Fozzels will inform the client and try to still fulfill as much as possible. Fozzels is not responsible for delays and damages resulting from the client’s lack of cooperation.

The Client is responsible for the management of authorizations and the provision and timely revocation of access and identification codes. Fozzels is not liable for damage or costs resulting from use or misuse made of the aforementioned accounts, access or identification codes, certificates or other security devices, unless the misuse is the direct result of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of Fozzels’ management.

Third party services

To the extent that Fozzels’ services consist of making a connection to third-party services, as in the case where it has been agreed that a connection is to be made to ChatGPT, the Client itself must arrange for a subscription with that third party and for payment of any subscription fees due. The Customer understands that this may require the Customer to accept the contractual terms and conditions of those third parties, which may contain provisions relating to, for example, user rights, personal data, intellectual property, liability and/or applicable law that differ from the terms and condit
Fozzels cannot accept any responsibility and liability to the Client for third-party services, such as with respect to availability, speed, content quality, functionality or usability.

Fees and payment

Unless otherwise agreed, Fozzels’ work will be invoiced in advance at Fozzels’ standard rates.
Fozzels may index its fees annually in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of CBS. In addition, Fozzels may adjust Fees on an interim basis if subcontractors or suppliers increase their prices. The Client will be informed of such changes in advance.

Intellectual property rights and ownership of data

The data processed by the client using the software developed by Fozzels are the property of the client.
All intellectual property rights to the software, web stores, websites, data files, databases, equipment, training, testing and examination materials or other materials such as analyses, designs, documentation, reports, quotations, as well as preparatory materials thereof, developed or made available to the Client pursuant to the contract, belong exclusively to Fozzels, its licensors or its suppliers. The Client only acquires the rights of use expressly granted by these General Terms and Conditions, the written contract concluded between the parties and by mandatory law.
A right of use to which the client is entitled is non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable and limited to the duration of the agreement that the parties enter into in this context, except insofar as conditions of third parties apply and a different duration results from this. Client may only use the right of use in and for the benefit of its own company or organization and only insofar as necessary for the intended use and never for the benefit of third parties.
Client shall always strictly observe the agreed restrictions, of whatever nature or content, on the right of use.
If requested, the Client shall immediately cooperate with any investigation to be conducted by or on behalf of Fozzels regarding compliance with the agreed rights of use. The Customer shall grant access to its buildings and systems at Fozzels’ first request.
Fozzels indemnifies the client against a claim by a third party based on the assumption that software, web stores, websites, data files, equipment or other materials developed by Fozzels itself infringe an intellectual property right of that third party, on the condition that the client immediately informs Fozzels in writing of the existence and substance of the claim and leaves the handling of the case, including the making of any settlements, entirely to Fozzels. To this end, the Client shall provide Fozzels with the necessary powers of attorney, information and cooperation to defend itself against these claims. This obligation to indemnify lapses if the alleged infringement relates (i) to works or materials made available to Fozzels by the client for use, adaptation, processing or maintenance, or (ii) to changes made or caused to be made by the client to the software, web stores, websites, data files, equipment or other works or materials without Fozzels’ written permission. If it is irrevocably established in law that the software, web stores, websites, data files, equipment or other materials developed by Fozzels itself infringe any intellectual property right belonging to a third party or if, in Fozzels’ judgment, there is a reasonable chance that such an infringement will occur, Fozzels shall, if possible, ensure that the client can continue to use the delivered, or functionally equivalent other software, web stores, websites, data files, equipment or materials. Any other or more extensive indemnification obligation of Fozzels on account of infringement of an intellectual property right of a third party is excluded.
The Client warrants that no rights of third parties oppose the provision to Fozzels of equipment, software, material intended for web stores and websites, data files and/or other materials, designs, and/or other works for the purpose of use, maintenance, adaptation (including further development at the Client’s request), installation or integration, including having the appropriate licenses. Client indemnifies Fozzels against any claim by a third party based on the fact that such provision, use, maintenance, editing, installation or integration infringes any right of that third party.

Confidential information

The Client and Fozzels shall ensure that all information received from the other party which is known or should reasonably be known to be of a confidential nature shall remain secret. This prohibition does not apply if and insofar as disclosure of the data in question to a third party is necessary pursuant to a court order, a statutory regulation, on the basis of a legally issued order by a government authority or for the proper performance of the contract. The party receiving confidential data shall use it only for the purpose for which it was provided. Data shall in any case be considered confidential if it is designated as such by one of the parties.
Client acknowledges that the software provided by or through Fozzels is always of a confidential nature and contains trade secrets of Fozzels, its suppliers or the producer of the software.

Security

If Fozzels is required under the agreement to provide some form of information security, such security shall conform to the specifications on security agreed upon between the parties in writing. Fozzels does not guarantee that the information security will be effective under all circumstances. In the absence of an expressly defined method of security in the agreement, the security will meet a level that, given the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope and context of the information to be secured known to Fozzels, the purposes and normal use of its products and services and the likelihood and severity of foreseeable risks, is not unreasonable.
Fozzels is entitled to unilaterally adjust the security measures from time to time and make technical and organizational changes.
Client is responsible for and shall adequately secure and maintain adequate security of its systems and infrastructure.
The access or identification codes, certificates or other security devices provided to the Client by or on behalf of Fozzels are confidential and shall be treated as such by the Client and shall be made known only to authorized personnel from the Client’s own organization. Fozzels is entitled to change assigned access or identification codes and certificates. Client is responsible for the management of authorizations and the provision and timely revocation of access and identification codes.
Where Fozzels has agreed with the client to provide hosting services, security will be provided by the supplier specified in the agreement. In this context, the terms and conditions of the relevant supplier (including its security policy) shall apply in the relationship between Fozzels and the Client, setting aside any provisions deviating therefrom in these General Terms and Conditions. The supplier’s terms and conditions are available via [insert url]. Fozzels will hold the supplier accountable for proper compliance with its contractual obligations to Fozzels.

Privacy

Client shall indemnify Fozzels against claims of persons whose personal data have been or are being processed for which Client is responsible by law, unless Client proves that the facts underlying the claim are attributable to Fozzels.
The responsibility for the data, which are processed by the client using a service of Fozzels, lies with the client. Client warrants to Fozzels that the content, use and/or processing of the data is not unlawful and does not infringe any right of a third party. Client indemnifies Fozzels against any legal claim by a third party, on any basis whatsoever, in connection with these data or the performance of the contract.
If Fozzels performs services for the client as a processor, as referred to in personal data protection legislation, the client shall, at Fozzels’ first request, enter into a processor’s agreement in accordance with Fozzels’ model.

Liability

The total liability of Fozzels on account of attributable failure to perform the contract or on any legal ground whatsoever, expressly including any failure to perform a warranty or indemnification obligation agreed with the client or wrongful act, is limited to compensation for damages as elaborated in this article.
Direct damage is limited to a maximum of the amount of the price stipulated for that agreement (excluding VAT). If the contract is primarily a continuing performance contract with a term of more than one year, the price stipulated for that contract shall be set at the total of the fees (excluding VAT) stipulated for one year. In no event, however, shall Fozzels’ total liability for direct damage, on any legal basis whatsoever, exceed €250,000.
Indirect damages, including but not limited to consequential damages, lost profits, lost savings, diminished goodwill, damages due to business interruption, damages resulting from claims of client’s customers, are excluded.
Fozzels is never liable for damage caused by or attributable to third parties – whether or not part of the services and or other work provided by Fozzels – including but not limited to software suppliers and hosting parties.
Unless performance by Fozzels is permanently impossible, Fozzels’ liability for attributable failure to perform a contract arises only if the client immediately gives Fozzels written notice of default, setting a reasonable time for the cure of the failure, and Fozzels continues to fail imputably to perform its obligations even after that time.

Force majeure

Neither party is obliged to fulfill any obligation, including any legal and/or agreed warranty obligation, if it is prevented from doing so as a result of force majeure. Force majeure on the part of Fozzels includes: (i) force majeure of suppliers of Fozzels, (ii) improper performance of obligations of suppliers prescribed to Fozzels by the client, (iii) defectiveness of goods, equipment, software or materials of third parties whose use has been prescribed to Fozzels by the client, (iv) governmental measures, (v) electricity failure, (vi) failure of internet, data network or telecommunication facilities, (vii) (cyber) crime, (cyber) vandalism, war or terrorism and (viii) general transportation problems.

Duration and termination

If and to the extent that the agreement between the parties is a continuing performance agreement, the agreement is entered into for the agreed term, failing which the term of one year shall apply.
The duration of a fixed-term contract is tacitly renewed each time for the duration of the originally agreed period, with a maximum of 1 year, unless the client or Fozzels terminates the contract in writing, observing a notice period of three months before the end of the period in question.
Each of the parties shall be entitled to dissolve the contract on account of an attributable failure to perform the contract only if the other party, in all cases after a written notice of default which is as detailed as possible and in which a reasonable period is given to remedy the failure, imputably fails to fulfill essential obligations under the contract. The client’s payment obligations shall in all cases be considered essential obligations under the agreement.
If, at the time of the dissolution, the client has already received performance in execution of the contract, such performance and the related payment obligations shall not be the object of undoing, Amounts invoiced by Fozzels before the dissolution in connection with what it has already duly performed or delivered in execution of the contract shall remain due in full and shall become immediately payable at the time of the dissolution.
If an agreement which by its nature and content does not end by completion has been entered into for an indefinite period, it may be terminated in writing by either party after proper consultation and stating reasons. If no period of notice has been agreed upon between the parties, a notice period of three months must be observed. Fozzels shall never be liable for any compensation on account of termination.
The Client is not entitled to prematurely terminate a contract of assignment entered into for a definite period, or a contract that ends by completion. Fozzels is permitted to terminate such a contract in writing, observing a notice period of three months. Fozzels shall never be liable for any compensation on account of termination.
If a contract ends, not through the fault or omission of the client, Fozzels may, at the request of the client, choose to support the client on the basis of its rates applicable at that time, to ensure that a new supplier or the client itself can take over the performance of the contract (whether or not in part).

General provisions

The Client shall never sell, transfer or pledge its rights and obligations under a contract to a third party without Fozzels’ prior consent. Fozzels is entitled to sell, transfer or pledge its claims to payment of fees to a third party.
If any provision of these General Terms and Conditions is void or is nullified, the other provisions of these General Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force. In that case, Fozzels and the client will enter into consultation, with the aim of agreeing new provisions of as much the same scope as possible to replace the void or nullified provisions.
The applicability of purchasing or other conditions of the client is expressly rejected.

Applicable law and disputes.

The contracts between Fozzels and the client are governed by Dutch law. Applicability of the Vienna Sales Convention 1980 is excluded.
Disputes will be submitted to the competent court of the District Court Midden- Nederland, location Utrecht.
