Terms and conditions

These terms apply to the use of this website and to all quotes and agreements of Mekova (in formation), unless agreed otherwise in writing.

1. Website

The information on this website has been compiled with care but is general in nature. Prices on the website are indicative and exclude VAT; no rights can be derived from the website. Texts, logo and design of this website are the property of Mekova. The website's source code is public for inspection; that does not grant a right to reuse the brand or the content.

2. Quotes and agreement

A quote is valid for thirty days. An agreement is formed as soon as the client confirms a quote or scope document in writing (including by email). The scope document states the package, the maximum hours per week, the term and the hourly rate.

3. Performance

Mekova performs the engagement to the best of its knowledge and ability, using its own methods and resources. Mekova has an obligation of effort, not of result, unless explicitly agreed otherwise. The client provides the access, information and cooperation needed in good time. Mekova is free to work for other clients and may, after consultation, be replaced by an equally qualified professional.

4. Prices and payment

At the end of each calendar month, Mekova invoices the hours actually worked at the agreed hourly rate, with a timesheet. No more than the package's maximum hours per week is ever invoiced, unless extra hours were agreed in advance. All amounts exclude VAT. The payment term is fourteen days from the invoice date. Mekova may adjust its rates annually as of 1 January and will announce this at least one month in advance.

5. Term and termination

A Partner package runs for at least three months; the exact term is stated in the scope document. The agreement ends when that term expires, unless both parties extend it in writing. The hours per week can be changed per calendar month between the 8-hour and 12-hour packages, if agreed before that month starts. Delivery Maintenance is only available after a Partner package, runs per calendar month and can be terminated in writing by either party as of the end of the month.

6. Intellectual property

After full payment, the client owns the code, workflows, tests and documentation made specifically for them. Mekova retains the right to use general knowledge, methods and reusable templates that are not specific to the client elsewhere.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties keep the other's confidential information secret, also after the engagement ends. Mekova handles access to the client's systems, repositories and secrets with care and only uses them for the engagement.

8. Liability

Mekova's liability is limited to direct damage and to no more than the amount invoiced in the three months before the event that caused the damage. Mekova is not liable for indirect damage, such as consequential loss, lost profit or loss of data. These limitations do not apply in case of intent or deliberate recklessness.

9. Governing law

Dutch law applies to these terms and all agreements. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in the district where Mekova is established.
