Terms & conditions
These terms and conditions apply to all quotes, agreements and services of Secrotec B.V. Please read them carefully.
1. Definitions
In these terms "Secrotec" means Secrotec B.V., established in Heerhugowaard; "client" the party entering into an agreement with Secrotec; and "services" all audit, consultancy, web and related services offered by Secrotec.
2. Applicability
These terms apply to all offers, quotes and agreements between Secrotec and the client, unless agreed otherwise in writing. Any purchasing or other terms of the client are expressly rejected.
3. Quotes and offers
All quotes are without obligation and valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. An agreement is formed once the client accepts a quote or assignment in writing (or by email), or once Secrotec starts performance.
4. Performance of the agreement
Secrotec performs the agreement to the best of its knowledge and ability, as a best-efforts obligation. Stated timelines are indicative and not strict deadlines unless expressly agreed. Audits are carried out independently and on the basis of the applicable standards (such as ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 19011).
5. Client obligations
The client ensures that all data, access and cooperation Secrotec needs are available in time and correct. Delays or additional costs resulting from incorrect or incomplete information are for the client's account.
6. Prices and payment
All prices are in euros and exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. Invoices must be paid within 14 days of the invoice date. In case of late payment the client is in default by operation of law and Secrotec may charge statutory (commercial) interest and reasonable collection costs.
7. Term and termination
Ongoing services (such as maintenance or hosting) are entered into for the agreed term and are thereafter terminable subject to a reasonable notice period of one month, unless agreed otherwise.
8. Intellectual property
All intellectual property rights in works, reports and materials developed by Secrotec remain with Secrotec unless agreed otherwise in writing. After full payment the client obtains a right of use for the agreed purpose.
9. Confidentiality
Both parties treat confidential information received in the context of the agreement as confidential. As an auditor, Secrotec handles all findings and business data of the client with care.
10. Liability
Secrotec's liability is limited to the amount paid out by its liability insurance in the relevant case or, failing that, to the amount invoiced for the relevant assignment. Secrotec is not liable for indirect or consequential damage. Audits and advice do not guarantee certification by a certification body.
11. Force majeure
Secrotec is not obliged to fulfil any obligation if it is prevented from doing so by force majeure. In that case the obligations are suspended for the duration of the force majeure.
12. Governing law and disputes
All agreements with Secrotec are governed exclusively by Dutch law. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in the district where Secrotec is established, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
