​

2.2 Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the quotation, all quotations from FEAGLE are without obligations. Offers are not automatically valid for future orders. The total price for a project is only indicative and confers no rights to the customer. In the quotations of FEAGLE deadlines are indicative and cannot be considered as an obligation for FEAGLE. Crossing the date of delivery shall not entitle to compensation for damages nor will not lead to a rescission of the contract or a price reduction. 

​

ARTICLE 3 - PRICES 

​

3.1 All our prices are, unless stated otherwise, in Euro excluding VAT and other taxes. FEAGLE is entitled to adjust the agreed price only if principal changes to the originally specified job, scope or specifications are made or asked.

​

ARTICLE 4 – ORDERS 

​

4.1 After receiving the receipt of a written approval by the customer, the order will be considered as a confirmed order. Subsequently, FEAGLE will submit a purchase order and proposal for project planning which should be approved by both parties. 

​

4.2 FEAGLE then sends an advance invoice (30%) to the customer. After payment of the advance invoice, the kick-off meeting will be planned and the customer will receive a link to the project materials. Through this link, all documents, designs, illustrations and videos are consultable until 15 days after the completion of the final product. The kick-off meeting is possibly by telephone or video call, conference call or in a face-to-face service. 

​

4.3 FEAGLE reserves the right to modify the start of the project or to postpone delivery of the marketing materials if the customer fails to pay an invoice. The delivery can be postponed by the non-removal of the watermark or by not granting rights to download from the online platform. 

​

4.4 When the client fails to report a change(s) to the confirmed order, such requests could lead to additional costs and changes in the proposed delivery date(s). 

​

4.5 During the implementation of the project, FEAGLE can ask the customer to make certain choices and make decisions within a predetermined period of time. After the kick-off meeting, the customer receives a schedule in which the responsibilities of both FEAGLE and the customer are listed. Should the customer fail to respond to FEAGLE's request or to respect the predetermined term, FEAGLE has the right to decide instead of the customer and start the next phase in the planning. It is no longer possible to return to the previous phase with the guarantee that no additional costs will be charged or that the agreed planning can be respected. 

​

When the customer did not provide his input or feedback at the agreed date, FEAGLE reserves the right to postpone the project, adjust the project planning unilaterally and to invoice the costs and fees owed by the customer at that time. 

​

In case FEAGLE is unable to continue the project without the input of feedback from the customer and that the client refuses to respond within 15 days, FEAGLE reserves the right to terminate the agreement with the customer and immediately cancel every subsequent step in the confirmed order, without prior consultation and without payment of any compensation to the customer. In such a case, the customer cannot claim any compensation. 

​

4.6 Unless stated otherwise, FEAGLE provides three phases in which the customer can overhaul: 

​

1) 2 revisions after the presentation of the copywriting 

2) 2 revisions after the presentation of the graphic design. 

3) 1 revision after the delivery of the first and 1 revision after the delivery of the second version of the marketing materials. 

​

4.7. If the client wishes to make changes or corrections (such as changes in copy-writing, design etc.) that could have been reported during one of the revision rounds after the approval of the marketing materials, FEAGLE reserves the right to invoice the extra costs associated with the implementation of these changes. 

​

ARTICLE 5: DELIVERIES 

​

5.1 Upon receipt of the final delivery, the customer has the obligation to check the marketing material for visible errors. Such errors will be reported to FEAGLE specifically and accurately in writing at the latest 10 working days after the final delivery of the video. After that period, the project is considered finished and the invoice follows. Belated requirements are not accepted. 

​

5.2 Complaints regarding visible errors are only valid and are only accepted if the customer has not used or edited the marketing materials. A complaint does not release the customer from the obligation to pay the related invoice. 

​

5.3 All changes and / or corrections requested by the customer after the aforementioned 10 working days will be considered as a request for adjustment and will be charged as an extra cost. 

​

5.4 The submission of a complaint does not release the client from his payment obligations.
