General Terms and Conditions

I.Applicability
Geniozz BV operates under several trade names, including Flying Squad and Tripod Academy. All services, activities, training programmes, workshops, and learning events offered under these names are provided by Geniozz BV and governed by these General Terms & Conditions.
These provisions apply to all legal relationships between Geniozz and its clients concerning work to be carried out by Geniozz for the client, including any offer made by Geniozz to perform such work.
II.Proposals
All offers and proposals are free of engagement and will only be made in writing. The approximate duration of the work will be stated, unless a final date of delivery is explicitly agreed upon at the client’s request.
The client can terminate the agreement if Geniozz does not deliver or delivers late. In that case, termination takes place by registered letter and is only possible after Geniozz has been notified of default and given a reasonable period to comply with its obligations. The termination applies only to the part for which no (timely) delivery has yet occurred. In that case, the client is required to pay for the work performed and, if the delivery shortcoming is not attributable to Geniozz, to pay the full order sum.
III.Invoice and payment
Client shall pay all invoices in accordance with the payment conditions stated in this article and on the invoice, unless both parties have agreed on specific other terms for the relevant project. If no specific conditions are stated, Client shall pay within 30 days of the invoice date. The order sum shall be paid as follows:
-
If the order sum is less than €5,000, the order sum shall be paid in one payment after delivery has taken place or the service has been performed;
-
If the order sum is €5,000 or more, 50% of the order sum shall be paid when the order is placed, and 50% after delivery has taken place or the service has been performed;
If an invoice is not paid within the agreed term, the client owes interest of 1% per month from the day on which it defaults until the day the invoice(s) are fully paid to the supplier. If the client still fails to pay the amount owed, including interest, after notification of default, Geniozz is entitled to increase this amount with collection costs, judicial and other recovery costs, including the costs of counsel and other incurred extrajudicial costs.
IV.Suspension of delivery
Geniozz is entitled to suspend the delivery or the performance of services to the client until the client has met its payment obligations. The client waives all rights to invoke discount, debt comparison or compensation.
V.Intellectual property
All intellectual or industrial property rights on all goods and services developed, made available or delivered for the order rest exclusively with Geniozz or its licensors, unless explicitly agreed otherwise. The goods and services may only be used for the purposes for which they are intended. Client shall not reproduce material or make copies of it unless this has been explicitly agreed with Geniozz in writing. If information carriers are used (including video tapes, DVDs, CD-ROMs, drawings, etc) for the performance of an order, only the right of use to these information carriers is acquired. The information carriers remain Geniozz’s property unless explicitly agreed otherwise. If a client acts in violation of copyright, it shall forfeit a fine per violation equal to the value of the order, plus an additional 100% of that amount, and this amount shall be forfeited. It shall be paid immediately without further notification of default, as referred to above, all this without prejudice to our right to charge the suffered damages, increased by any interest and costs. If the client's materials are used in an order, they shall not be used for any purpose other than their intended use, and after use, they will be returned to the client upon the client's first request.
If this material is lost, however, the client has no right to damages unless this can be attributed to our intent or gross negligence, or to the gross negligence of staff working at Geniozz.
Where applicable, all information in any form shall be handled confidentially by Geniozz. All information provided by Geniozz must be handled in the same manner.
VI.Purchase conditions
Any purchase terms and conditions of purchasers that contradict these delivery and payment terms and conditions are explicitly rejected by Geniozz and do not apply unless agreed otherwise in writing.
VII.Legal relations
Without prejudice to these conditions, “The New Rules 2005 Legal relationship client-architect, engineer and consultant DNR 2005” from ONRI, the Dutch association of consulting engineers, applies to all legal relations between Geniozz and its clients.
VIII.Disputes
All disputes and collection measures about the agreements concluded with Geniozz, excluding all other provisions, will be presented to the court having jurisdiction in the District of Amsterdam or in the place of residence/registration of the client, at Geniozz’s discretion.
IX.Report disclaimer
Geniozz has taken great care in composing their reports and has conducted the investigation using current techniques, knowledge, and experience. Reports from Geniozz are exclusively meant for and directed to the ordering customer of Geniozz. Appendices added to their reports form an integral part of the reports and cannot be used independently. Reports from Geniozz have been composed to provide the ordering customer with optimal clarity and enable them to improve their business processes. Findings in their reports are therefore not suitable for publication for third parties. Third parties cannot, therefore, derive rights from their reports or the incorporated investigation results.

Geniozz accepts no responsibility, and the ordering customer safeguards Geniozz against any damage of any kind to the ordering customer and/or third parties arising from the use of their reports. The ordering customer shall not summon Geniozz, her employees, or third parties engaged by Geniozz as witnesses, experts, or otherwise in procedures related to the subject of their reports.
