1. Applicability 

These Terms and Conditions apply to any offer by Legal Freaks to you as a professional customer (hereinafter "Customer") who purchases our goods and services for professional purposes, unless we expressly agree otherwise.  

Placing an order through Legal Freaks' website or accepting the offer constitutes express acceptance of our Terms and Conditions, the most recent version of which is always available through our website. We reserve the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time for future orders whereby each new version will have a new version number and will be available via the website.  

In case of any inconsistency between a provision of these Terms and Conditions and a provision indicated on a respective product and/or services page, or on the quotation, the respective provision on the quotation shall prevail.  

2. Our offer 

Our offers are purely indicative and non-binding and lapse if they have not been accepted by the Customer within 14 calendar days. Quotations only acquire legal validity as an agreement by the Customer's signature and return of the quotation.  

If in the quotation we refer to man-days, we assume working days of 8 hours. If in the quotation we refer to hours, the hourly rate is always included in the quotation.  

The Parties always determine by mutual agreement the place from where the services will be performed as well as the days on which the services will be performed.  

3. Price and payment 

Quoted prices are always shown in EURO and exclusive of VAT.  

When you order custom work, Legal Freaks reserves the right to invoice 20% of the quote before work begins. The balance will then be invoiced at the end of the project. 

All invoices, unless otherwise indicated on the invoice, are payable within 14 days of the invoice date. In the event of non-payment on the due date, we will automatically and without notice increase the invoice amount by a fixed compensation of 10% with a minimum of 75 euros and with interest of 1% per month from the due date, whereby each started month will be charged for a full month. The compensation remains due even if you were to pay the late invoice in principal. Interest on the amount due will be calculated from the moment you are in default until the moment of payment of the amount due in full. Furthermore, in case of non-payment of an invoice on its due date, all debts will become due.  

If you do not agree with an invoice, you must notify us within 7 business days of receipt of the invoice, stating the reasons for the protest. However, protesting an invoice does not cancel your payment obligation.  

4. Our services  

We undertake to provide the services in a professional manner with all reasonable skill and care, in accordance with relevant standards and requirements (including good industry practices) and in compliance with the current A.V., the quotation and all applicable laws. Moreover, our services are resource commitments. 

 The Customer understands and accepts that both delivery times and deadlines always depend on the timely delivery of information, documents, ... from the Customer and are therefore indicative. However, we will make all reasonable efforts to deliver on time.  

In any case, the agreed delivery deadlines are extended to the extent that the Customer has not delivered or has lost time in submitting preparatory documents or preparatory work of any kind. Additional orders may also give rise to an extension of the delivery. If an advance payment is requested, the start of the deadlines will begin upon receipt of this payment.  

The Customer expressly agrees that we may use subcontractors to perform (parts of) the agreed offer.  

5. Warranties, liability and insurance  

We shall never be liable for indirect or consequential damages, such as loss of income, third-party claims, loss of data, even if we have been advised of the possibility of the occurrence of such damages.  

Our liability with respect to direct damages will be limited to in-kind recovery by making improvements, re-performing the services to be provided and/or delivering the products.  

Our liability shall in all cases be limited to fifty percent (50%) of the amounts invoiced and effectively paid by us to the Customer in connection with the damaging services and/or products in the 6 months preceding the claim with a maximum of 25.000EUR. We explicitely exclude claims based on extra-contractual liability. 

The Customer expressly waives the application of Art. 6.3. new B.W. on the extra-contractual liability of auxiliary persons, within the limits of the law. 

6. Force Majeure  

Force majeure is any circumstance beyond our will and control that prevents the performance of our obligations in whole or in part. By this we mean, inter alia, illness of staff or engaged third parties, strikes, fire, business disturbances, energy failures, failures in a (telecommunication) network or connection or communication systems used and/or the unavailability of our website at any time, non or non-timely delivery of suppliers or other engaged third parties. In case of force majeure Legal Freaks is not obliged to fulfill its obligations. In that case we can either suspend our obligations for the duration of the force majeure, or dissolve the agreement definitively.

If the Customer acts in violation of this article, he is obliged to compensate the damage that the Legal Freaks suffers as a result. Such compensation shall be equivalent to the gross remuneration for the previous 12 months of the person concerned. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that this is a reasonable estimate of the cost of hiring and training such person.
