  4. These general conditions also apply to additional, modified, and follow-up orders from the Client.
  5. The terms and conditions of the Client are expressly excluded.

  7. Uncertainties about the content, interpretation, or situations not regulated in these general conditions will be assessed and interpreted in accordance with the spirit of these conditions. The provisions in the Agreement override these general conditions.
  8. The applicability of articles 7:404 and 7:407 sub 2 of the Dutch Civil Code is explicitly excluded.

  11. If Moonly Software B.V. does not require strict compliance with these conditions on one or more occasions, it does not mean that the provisions are waived and the Company retains the right to demand compliance in future cases.

Article 3     The Offer

  1. All offers made by Moonly Software B.V. are non-binding unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. If the Offer is limited or subject to specific conditions, this will be clearly stated.

  3. The Offer includes a description of the offered Services, detailed enough for the Client to assess the proposal. Obvious mistakes or errors in the Offer do not bind Moonly Software B.V. Visuals, images, or data in the Offer are indicative only and do not provide grounds for damages or rescission. Offers are based on data provided by the Client; they expire if the data is incorrect or incomplete.
  4. Offers or quotations do not automatically apply to follow-up or subsequent orders.
  5. Delivery times and periods are indicative. Exceeding them does not entitle the Client to terminate the agreement or claim damages unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

  1. The Agreement is concluded when the Client accepts an Offer or Agreement from Moonly Software B.V. by returning a signed copy (scanned or original) or giving explicit and unambiguous approval by email.

  4. If the Client cancels an already confirmed Agreement, costs already incurred (including time) will be charged.
  5. The right of withdrawal is excluded unless otherwise agreed.
  6. If the Agreement is entered into by multiple Clients, each is jointly and severally liable for fulfilling all obligations.

Article 5     Duration of the Agreement 

  1. The Agreement is entered into for a fixed term unless the nature, content, or scope of the assignment dictates that it is established for an indefinite period. The duration of the assignment is also dependent on external factors, including but not limited to the quality and timely delivery of information obtained by Moonly Software B.V. from the Client.
  2. Both the Client and Moonly Software B.V. may terminate the Agreement based on a attributable failure to fulfill the obligations of the Agreement if the other party has been formally notified in writing of the default and has been given a reasonable period to remediate its obligations, and if the party in default fails to do so. This also includes the Client’s payment and cooperation obligations.
  3. The termination of the Agreement does not affect the Client’s payment obligations if Moonly Software B.V. has performed work or delivered services at the time of termination.
  4. Parties may terminate the Agreement by registered letter with a notice period of three months. If the Agreement has lasted less than three months, it can be terminated with a notice period of one month.
  5. In the event of early termination of the Agreement, the Client is liable for the actual costs incurred by Moonly Software B.V. up to that point, based on the applicable hourly rate. The (hourly) registration of Moonly Software B.V. is decisive in this respect.
  6. Both the Client and Moonly Software B.V. may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, immediately and in writing without any prior notice of default, if one of the Parties is granted suspension of payments, if bankruptcy has been filed for, or if the relevant company ends through liquidation or another means, other than merger or reorganization. If such a situation occurs, Moonly Software B.V. is under no obligation to refund any amounts already received or to pay damages.
  7. All post-contractual obligations under these terms and the Agreement that by their nature are intended to continue after the termination of the Agreement shall remain in effect after termination. This particularly concerns provisions regarding confidentiality, intellectual property rights, liability, dispute resolution, and choice of law.

Article 6     Performance of the Agreement

  1. Moonly Software B.V. will endeavor to execute the Agreement with the greatest possible care, as may be expected of a diligent contractor. All Services are performed on a best-efforts basis, unless a result has been explicitly and specifically agreed in writing.
  2. In performing the Services, Moonly Software B.V. is not obliged to follow Client's instructions if they would alter the content or scope of the agreed Services. If such instructions result in additional work for Moonly Software B.V., the Client must compensate for the extra or additional costs.
  3. Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to engage third parties for the performance of the Services at its own discretion.
  4. If, pursuant to a request or order from a government authority or due to any legal obligation, Moonly Software B.V. performs work relating to Client data, the related costs are solely for the Client.
  5. In case of changes, Moonly Software B.V. may continue the Service provision with the altered version of the software. Moonly Software B.V. is never required to maintain, modify, or add certain features and/or specific properties.
  6. The source code and technical documentation of the Application and/or Website are always excluded from the right of use or subject to transfer to the Client, unless otherwise agreed upon.
  7. Both the Client and Moonly Software B.V. may make changes to the scope and/or content of the Services. The additional costs associated with these changes are at the expense of the Client. The Client will be informed as soon as possible. If the Client disagrees, the parties should consult. The Client may only terminate the Agreement in writing as of the date the change takes effect, unless the change is due to changes in relevant laws or regulations or Moonly Software B.V. assumes the cost of the change.
  8. Moonly Software B.V. is not required to provide the Client with a physical carrier with the software.
  9. If Moonly Software B.V., according to the Agreement, also makes backups of the Client's data, these will be made and kept at agreed fixed moments in accordance with the agreed terms. However, the Client is responsible for complying with any legal retention and administrative obligations.
  10. Moonly Software B.V. is entitled, but never obliged, to verify the accuracy, completeness, or consistency of the materials, requirements, or specifications provided to it, and may suspend agreed work until the Client remedies any deficiencies found.
  11. Unless otherwise agreed, Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to use third-party images, software, and components, including stock photos and open source software, in development, configuration, or adaptation of the Design. The Client indemnifies Moonly Software B.V. from third-party claims relating to the aforementioned use.
  12. Moonly Software B.V. will retain the source files of designs as long as it is providing Services to the Client, or it is reasonably likely to do so. After this period, Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to delete the source files. If the Client issues follow-up assignments after this period, Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to charge costs for redevelopment, repair, or retrieval of these files.

Article 7     Obligations of the Client

  1. The Client is required to provide all information requested by Moonly Software B.V., as well as relevant attachments and related information and data, in a timely manner and/or before the start of the work and in the desired format, for the correct and efficient execution of the Agreement. If the Client fails to do so, it may result in Moonly Software B.V. not being able to provide complete execution and/or delivery of the relevant work. The consequences of such a situation are always at the expense and risk of the Client.
  2. Moonly Software B.V. is not obliged to check the accuracy and/or completeness of the information provided to it or to update the Client regarding information that has changed in the meantime, nor is Moonly Software B.V. responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information compiled by Moonly Software B.V. for third parties and/or provided to third parties as part of the Agreement.
  3. If necessary for the performance of the Agreement, Moonly Software B.V. may request additional information. If the information is not provided, Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to suspend its work until the information is received, without being liable for any damage arising from any cause whatsoever towards the Client. In case of changed circumstances, the Client must notify Moonly Software B.V. immediately, or at the latest within 5 working days of the change becoming known.
  4. The Client is obliged to protect all technical security and other facilities of Moonly Software B.V.’s Website and to respect the intellectual property rights resting on the Website.
  5. The Client must ensure suitable equipment and a suitable working environment.

Article 8     Development of Application and/or Website

  1. Moonly Software B.V. may draw up advice, a plan of approach, planning, and/or reports for the provision of the service. The content thereof is not binding and is purely advisory; however, Moonly Software B.V. will observe its duty of care. The Client decides independently whether to follow the advice.
  2. The Client is required to provide all necessary information completely, accurately, and in the desired format for the development of the Application (including but not limited to data files, software, documentation, advice, reports, analyses, and designs). The term “Application” also includes the Website, where applicable.
  3. The parties will record in writing all features, functionalities, properties, and more of the Application to be developed. The Application will be developed solely on the basis of these written agreements. If the agreements are too brief to meet the Client's wishes, the parties must consult and amend the agreements or Agreement accordingly.
  4. Moonly Software B.V. is at all times entitled to request the Client's approval before delivering any work developed or transferring any associated user license.
  5. The Client obtains a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the Application from the moment the Client has fulfilled all its (payment) obligations, unless parties have explicitly and in writing agreed otherwise. The source files are explicitly excluded from the use of the Client. Unless explicitly and in writing agreed otherwise, source files will not be delivered to the Client.
  6. The Application developed by Moonly Software B.V. is considered delivered when the Client has signed or explicitly approved the Application within a maximum period of 7 calendar days, unless a longer period has been agreed. During this period, the Client may verify the written agreements. After this period passes without response, the Client shall be deemed to have approved the Application. Any remedial work after this period will be counted as additional costs.
  7. The nature of the service means that the outcome depends partly on external factors that may influence development, such as the quality, accuracy, and timely delivery of necessary information and data from the Client and/or their staff. The Client is responsible for the quality, accuracy, and timely delivery of all required data and information.

Article 9     Delivery

  1. If the start, progress, or (delivery) of the Services is delayed because, for example, the Client has not supplied all requested information (in time), fails to cooperate sufficiently, advance payment has not been received by Moonly Software B.V., or due to any other circumstance at the expense and risk of the Client, Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to a reasonable extension of the (delivery) period. Under no circumstances are the stated periods considered firm deadlines, nor can Moonly Software B.V. be held liable for exceeding the agreed period.
  2. Any damage and additional costs resulting from delays for reasons mentioned in item 1 are at the expense and risk of the Client and will be charged by Moonly Software B.V.
  3. If the Client must give approval, Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to suspend performance of the Agreement until the Client has granted its approval.
  4. Moonly Software B.V. will endeavor to realize the service provision within the agreed period, to the extent that it can reasonably be expected. In case of urgency, the Client is required to pay the additional costs involved to Moonly Software B.V.
  5. Moonly Software B.V. will strive to provide the Service as much as possible according to the Offer.
  6. Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to sign all its designed and/or developed results or have its name mentioned. Moonly Software B.V. also has the right to use all its designs, drafts, and all items with intellectual property rights, for its own promotion and/or publicity without (prior) express permission from the Client.
  7. After delivery, the Client is responsible for proper compliance with relevant third-party licenses when using the developed design. Moonly Software B.V. will adequately inform the Client about the applicable license terms.

Article 10     Transfer of Risk

The risk of theft, loss, embezzlement, or damage of data, documents, software, databases, and/or items used, created, or delivered in the scope of the Agreement transfers to the Client the moment these are in the actual possession of the Client, or at the moment the website is first put into use by the Client. If and insofar as any damage arises for the Client at that moment, Moonly Software B.V. is obliged to deliver a replacement Application and/or Website at cost price for the information carriers. Reinstallation and/or implementation shall be carried out at the agreed rate unless agreed otherwise.

Article 11     Warranties

  1. Moonly Software B.V. carries out the Services according to the standards applicable in the industry. Any warranty given is limited to what has been expressly agreed in writing. During the warranty period, Moonly Software B.V. ensures a sound and customary quality of the (delivered) product.
  2. The Client can only invoke the warranty of Moonly Software B.V. if the Client has fully met all its payment obligations.
  3. If the Client rightfully invokes the warranty, Moonly Software B.V. is obliged to perform free repair or replacement. If additional damage occurs, the liability provisions of these general terms and conditions shall apply.
  4. Moonly Software B.V. does not guarantee that the Application and/or Website will function without errors and/or interruption. Moonly Software B.V. will endeavor to correct faults in the software within a reasonable period. Correction of faults applies only to what Moonly Software B.V. itself has developed, and defects must be reported promptly by the Client. Moonly Software B.V. may postpone correction until a new software version is put into use. Defects in software not developed by Moonly Software B.V. may be repaired for the Client’s account and risk upon agreement.
  5. The Client accepts the Application and/or Website "AS IS".
  6. The Client must immediately and in detail report any defect to Moonly Software B.V. in writing, in a way that enables Moonly Software B.V. to reproduce and correct the defect. The defect is considered reported when Moonly Software B.V. confirms the notification to the Client.
  7. Any advice delivered by Moonly Software B.V., based on incomplete and/or incorrect information provided by the Client, does not constitute grounds for liability of Moonly Software B.V.
  8. The content of delivered advice by Moonly Software B.V. is non-binding and only serves as advice. The Client decides independently whether to follow the advice of Moonly Software B.V. All consequences from following the advice are at the Client’s risk. The Client may always deviate from the advice without any right to restitution.
  9. Correction also includes the provision of temporary solutions. The warranty never covers the restoration of corrupted or lost data. Moonly Software B.V. is not obliged to restore such data. If agreed, Moonly Software B.V. may assist, but is never liable for, nor required to restore, any corrupted or lost data. The Client must take measures at all times to prevent and limit malfunctions, defects, corruption, and/or data loss, whether or not based on information provided by Moonly Software B.V.
  10. Moonly Software B.V. is not responsible for faults and/or irregularities in the functionality of the Application and/or Website and is not liable for any unavailability of the Application and/or Website. This also includes unavailability due to unforeseen outages or force majeure.
  11. Liability of Moonly Software B.V. for (the functioning of) third-party plug-ins is excluded. Moonly Software B.V. is not liable for damages resulting from changes or work performed on or to the Website of Moonly Software B.V. without express consent from Moonly Software B.V.
  12. During the warranty period, the Client may only appeal to this warranty clause; Moonly Software B.V. is not obliged to compensate damages resulting from detected defects during the warranty period.
  13. If a defect during the warranty period is not subject to free repair, the Client must pay the associated costs.
  14. Moonly Software B.V. does not guarantee that the software, in the context of the SaaS service, will be updated in time due to legislative changes, but will endeavor to do so as timely as possible.

Article 12     Use and Maintenance of Application and/or Website

  1. Moonly Software B.V. grants the Client a user license for the agreed upon and developed Application and/or Website for use during the Agreement, within the context of the SaaS service. The right to use the Application and/or Website is non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-pledgeable, non-sublicensable, and limited to these conditions.
  2. If agreed, Moonly Software B.V. will perform maintenance on the Application and/or Website. The scope of the maintenance extends to what is explicitly agreed between the parties. Even if not agreed, Moonly Software B.V. may carry out maintenance or interrupt its services if it deems necessary for maintenance. Maintenance may cause interruptions, which do not entitle the Client to compensation.
  3. The Client is required to promptly report any defects, errors, or other malfunctions in the Application and/or Website in writing to Moonly Software B.V., after which, in accordance with its standard procedures, Moonly Software B.V. will correct errors or make improvements to the best of its ability. Moonly Software B.V. may first apply temporary solutions and then jointly determine a structural solution with the Client if necessary.
  4. The Client is required to cooperate upon first request of Moonly Software B.V.
  5. Despite Moonly Software B.V.’s maintenance obligations, the Client remains independently responsible for the management and use of the Application and/or Website.

For maintenance purposes, Moonly Software B.V. is authorized to check (data) files for computer attacks, viruses, and unsafe and/or illegal actions, as well as perform other necessary maintenance activities. The Client is also responsible for instructing and use by third parties engaged by the Client.
  7. Maintenance, in principle, consists of (i) corrective, (ii) preventive, and (iii) adaptive maintenance. In the event of corrective, preventive, and/or adaptive maintenance, Moonly Software B.V. is authorized to (temporarily) take the SaaS service wholly or partially offline. The Client has no right to any compensation during such interruption. Moonly Software B.V. will, if possible, perform interruptions outside office hours and will not do so longer than necessary.
  8. Any agreements regarding a service level (Service Level Agreement) are only valid if explicitly agreed in writing. The Client must always promptly inform Moonly Software B.V. of all circumstances that affect, or could affect, the service level and its availability.
  9. Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to make changes to the technology of the data or telecommunications network and other changes to the services offered. These changes may affect the equipment used by the Client, for which Moonly Software B.V. is not liable for any damages.

Article 13     Hosting Services

  1. If the agreed service includes the storage and/or transmission of Client-supplied material to third parties in the context of (web) hosting, the following provisions apply. Even if Moonly Software B.V. manages the Client’s hosting account and Client access is limited to the website's control panel, Moonly Software B.V. may impose restrictions on the account size.
  2. The Client is prohibited from publishing or distributing data via the Application and/or Website contrary to Dutch law and regulations, which in any case includes: data without the right holder’s permission, defamatory information, information that is offensive, discriminatory, threatening, racist, incites hate, or contains child or otherwise criminal pornography. Also, information that violates third-party privacy (including stalking), as well as torrents, spam, and hyperlinks to such content on third-party websites.
  3. In the event of (possible) criminal activities, Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to report this and provide the information supplied by the Client to the competent authorities, as well as perform any actions requested from it as part of the investigation.
  4. Moonly Software B.V. reserves the right to terminate and/or dissolve the Agreement with the Client in the event of abuse as described above and/or possible criminal acts by the Client.
  5. The Client must refrain from causing any damage or actions that could reasonably be expected to harm other Clients or servers. If the Client sends spam, is repeatedly warned, and temporarily suspended, Moonly Software B.V. may permanently deny access, without compensation. The Client can then only use email by purchasing an external email service linked by Moonly Software B.V. to the domain or website. The loss of email functionality due to this does not entitle to a price reduction.
  6. The Client indemnifies Moonly Software B.V. against all damages as a result of the above. Moonly Software B.V. is not liable for any damage suffered by the Client due to its actions.
  7. The Client is prohibited from reselling and/or renting out the service, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
  8. Moonly Software B.V. may set a maximum to the amount of storage space the Client may use for the Service. If exceeded, Moonly Software B.V. may charge extra. There is no liability for inability to send, receive, store, or amend data if a storage limit is reached.
  9. In the case of excessive data traffic, Moonly Software B.V. may, at its discretion, temporarily take the Client’s website offline. This includes DDoS attacks, brute force attacks, server overload, or any other disturbance by the Client to Moonly Software B.V.’s server.
  10. In addition to legal obligations, any damage arising from unprofessionalism or failure to comply with the above provisions is for the Client’s account and risk.

Article 14     Connectivity

  1. Each month, the Client's actual usage will be reviewed. If actual use differs from expected use, the extent of the service may be adjusted. An increase takes effect immediately. A decrease can only apply at the end of the agreed period.
  2. Data traffic cannot be carried over to a following month and/or other equipment, unless agreed otherwise.
  3. Data traffic means all network traffic generated by the Client, incoming and outgoing. Both in- and outbound traffic is calculated together, including email traffic. Clients must not send mass mailings and/or newsletters via standard email accounts.
  4. Moonly Software B.V. may set a monthly maximum on data traffic for the Client. If exceeded, Moonly Software B.V. may charge extra as specified on the Website. It is not liable for any consequences of exceeding the agreed traffic limit.

Article 15     Domain Name Registration

  1. Moonly Software B.V. offers domain registration upon the Client’s request at the applicable rates. The Client is responsible for being aware of relevant legislation. The Client is aware that domain registration does not equate to trademark registration.
  2. Domain name registration, including application, assignment, use, and holding of a domain name, is always subject to the rules of the relevant registration authority. Moonly Software B.V. only has a best-efforts obligation and offers no guarantee regarding assignment. The Client is responsible for submitting the correct domain name and cannot hold Moonly Software B.V. liable for incorrectly registering a domain due to a (typing) error, even if caused by Moonly Software B.V. The Client must verify this and change it if necessary.
  3. The Client owes Moonly Software B.V. a fee for the registration, use, and possession of the domain. The Agreement is for an indefinite period but can be canceled monthly; payment must be made yearly in advance.
  4. The Client indemnifies Moonly Software B.V. for all third-party claims regarding intellectual property rights and any claims related to the use and holding of the domain name, including claims related to the content of the webshop, where Moonly Software B.V. is the domain holder or administrator. The Client always remains fully responsible and liable for all third-party claims. Moonly Software B.V. will exercise its right of recourse where possible.

Article 16     Notice and Takedown

If and to the extent that there is an infringement of the rights of Moonly Software B.V. or third parties and/or unlawful conduct by the Client, Moonly Software B.V. is entitled to immediately suspend or exclude the part of the SaaS service or the Client. Moonly Software B.V. will immediately remove any infringing/harmful information. This may limit the Client’s use of the SaaS service. Moonly Software B.V. is not liable for any damages resulting from the (temporary) suspension of the service and/or deletion or transmission of the Client’s data.

Article 17     Additional Work and Changes

  1. If, during the performance of the Agreement, it appears that the Agreement needs adjustment or additional work is required at the Client's request to achieve the intended result, the Client is required to reimburse this additional work at the agreed rate. Moonly Software B.V. is not obliged to comply with such a request and can require a separate Agreement.
  2. The Client may make or have changes made to the scope and/or content of the SaaS service. The additional costs will be charged to the Client. If the Client disagrees, parties should consult. The Client may only terminate the Agreement in writing as of the change date, provided it is not due to statutory changes or if Moonly Software B.V. bears the costs.
