ARTICLE 4. Offers and quotations, collaboration and termination
4.1 All quotations and offers for Works/ Projects made by Us are not binding and may always be revoked by Us, even before a period for acceptance has expired.
4.2 The Other Party understands and accepts that We (generally) structure Our work in the phases as described below (4.3-4.6).
4.3 The phases and their specific conditions imply:
Sketch phase:
- The non-refundable fee of the sketch phase is, unless otherwise agreed in writing, € 9,500.00, to be paid upon acceptance of the offer and prior to the commencement of the work. The sketch fee is excluding travel and accommodation expenses unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Based on Our understanding of the initial parameters and range of budget provided by the Other Party, we will present, unless otherwise agreed in writing, two design proposals, along with an initial cost estimate.
- The follow-up with the Other Party to discuss the sketch proposals and modify the sketches, if necessary, within the available budget.
- This phase covers one meeting on the Other Party’s premises/location and two video meetings to deliberate and discuss proposals. Additional meetings will be charged separately (as set out in article 7).
- Once the concept is established, the final design will be worked out in renderings accompanied by a specified budget (to be approved by the Other Party), on the basis of which parties enter into the next phase. The budget is to be considered as a reasonable estimate. The total costs of a Work/Project may be higher (or lower).
Production/ development phase:
- Upon the start of development/ production, a 50% down payment of the agreed budget is due by the Other Party.
- The budget includes a contingency reserve. It is Our aim to have any additional adjustments in this phase fit within the initial budget, yet additional costs may arise during the development phase.
- Additional costs which would lead to a budget overrun shall be communicated to the Other Party in advance at all times.
- Leadtime/ production will start upon Our receipt of the down payment.
- We will update the Other Party on the progress. We may provide visual material to keep the Other Party informed on the process of the production phase.
- Upon completion of the Work/Project, We will notify the Other Party. The Other Party is responsible for the arrangement of the pick up or transport/shipment of the Work/(result of) the Project.
- Before shipping, We will send the Other Party full images of the end result.
- Shipping shall only take place after payment (in full) of the project-budget;
- In case of a choice for a pick up by The Other Party, the Work shall be picked up within eight weeks from Our notification of completion of the Work. The risk of damage, destruction or deterioration of the Work transfers to the Other Party at the moment the Work/(result of) the Project leaves our premises. Should the Work/(result of the) Project not be picked up within eight weeks from notification, We may, after sending the Other Party a second notification stating the expiration of the 8 week- term and giving a final term of 1 week to pick up or arrange the transport for the Work/(result of) the Project, sell the Work/(result of) the Project without any right to compensation and/or refund of the Other Party.
4.4 We reserve the right to cancel a Work/Project and/or terminate the Agreement if the Other Party does not approve within due time the excess of an agreed budget as submitted by Us, as well as in any other event that does not allow Us to continue and/or complete the
Work/the Project within the agreed timeframe and/or budget due to circumstances that relate to any imputable acts or omissions of the Other Party or to any fact or circumstance for which the Other Party bears the risk.
4.5 Once the development/ production phase has started, and a Work/Project is cancelled either upon request of the Other Party, or if the Work/Project is cancelled by Us, due to circumstances for which the Other Party is liable and/or bears the risk, such as any default of the Other Party, change of decision making bodies, such as commissions, board members or key-persons, the following cancellation fee will apply and become due upon.
Notification of the cancellation:
• 40 days or more prior to the (estimated) delivery/ pick-up date; 50% of the set production budget.
• 40 days or fewer prior to the (estimated) delivery/ pick-up date; 100% of the production budget.
The Other Party may cancel the Work/Project without cause at reimbursement of 100% of the production budget.
4.6 A cancellation initiated by the Other Party will only be effective if We receive written confirmation of the cancellation.
4.7 All offers made by Us will remain valid for a period of 2 months, unless the offer is revoked by Us at any point of time or another term is communicated. After this period, the offers automatically lapse.
