Terms and Conditions.

1. Definitions

Contractor: DesignCheck, a general partnership (Dutch v.o.f.), based in Mijdrecht, KvK 42175517, VAT NL870043213B01.
Client: the natural or legal person who commissions an assignment.
Assignment: any web design, SEO, audit or maintenance engagement as described in the quote or the agreement.

These terms apply to all offers and assignments of DesignCheck. If an agreement says otherwise, the agreement prevails.

2. Offers and quotes

All offers are non-binding and valid for 30 days, unless stated otherwise. The DesignCheck Audit (1-page report) is free and without obligation.

3. Execution

We carry out assignments to the best of our judgment and ability. Deadlines stated in quotes are target dates, not strict deadlines.

4. Delivery & handover

We first put a new website on a temporary address so the client can review it. It then goes live on the client's domain. With a website package we then take care of hosting, maintenance, updates and the workspace for as long as the agreement runs. The domain remains the client's. Email is not part of our offering and stays with the client's own provider. When the agreement ends, the client receives an export of the website and, if the domain is with us, the transfer code.

5. Rates and payment

Rates are stated in the quote or the agreement and are exclusive of VAT. For an order through the website, the client pays in advance via Mollie and monthly amounts are collected automatically. An invoice is payable within 14 days. Late payment incurs interest at the statutory Dutch commercial rate.

6. Intellectual property

After full payment, copyright in what we make for the client, such as the website, copy, photos and a logo, transfers to the client. This does not apply to standard components, DesignCheck's own building blocks and third-party software (open source or licensed); the client may keep using these for the delivered website, within their licenses. The software of the workspace remains DesignCheck's.

7. Liability

Our liability is limited to the amounts the client paid us in the twelve months before the damage. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages. These limitations do not apply in case of intent or gross negligence.

8. Confidentiality and personal data

Both parties treat confidential information as such and do not share it with third parties without written consent. If we process personal data on behalf of the client, we make processing arrangements under Article 28 GDPR; for an order through the website, these are in the agreement. Our privacy statement also applies.

9. Changes and additional work

Changes to scope are recorded in an additional quote. Work outside scope is invoiced at the standard hourly rate.

10. Applicable law

Dutch law applies to all agreements. Disputes are submitted to the District Court of Midden-Nederland (Rechtbank Midden-Nederland).
