3. Applicability of general terms and conditions

These terms and conditions apply to all offers, activities, agreements and deliveries of services or goods by or on behalf of the service provider.
The agreement always contains best efforts obligations for the service provider, not obligations for results.

4. Payment and subscriptions of end users

Invoicing and payment takes place in advance. The amount to be invoiced is based on the result of the previous month.
Every user who purchases services from the client is entitled to a free trial of the services for a period of 1 month.
Subscription price = € 19.95 / $ 19.95 (excluding VAT).
The amount to be invoiced as referred to in paragraph 4.1 and 4.2 will be charged for a period of 12 calendar months, or as long as the end user is a customer of the client. After this period, this amount expires and the end user is entitled to continuation of services without this monthly fixed fee. The variable remuneration as described in paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6 continues to apply.
Per user who purchases services from the client, a percentage of the profit realized in the relevant month will be charged to the client for services provided to the end user. This variable part is only applicable per month if a positive return has been achieved in the relevant month based on the services provided by the service provider and the end user has not fallen below its maximum performance.
The percentage referred to in paragraph 4.5 is determined as follows: 20% of the realized positive return will be charged on the monthly invoice if the end user’s balance of all possible bots does not exceed € 50,000. 15% of the realized positive return will be charged on the monthly invoice if the end user’s balance of all possible bots is higher than € 50,000 and no higher than € 250,000. 10% of the realized positive return is charged on the monthly invoice if the end user’s balance for all possible bots is higher than € 250,000.
Five days before the monthly subscription expires, the service provider will send a payment request to the end user on behalf of the client. This payment request is repeated twice until payment has been made or until the subscription has ended.
The end user is not obliged to proceed to payment of the invoice made payable and if payment is not made, the service will be tacitly terminated.
If after termination, the end-user still pays the invoice that has been made payable, the service will start again for a period of one month at the moment the payment has been processed by the service provider.
After termination of the service to the end user, the user’s registration will be deleted after twelve months and will be registered as a new user in the event of a new registration and the 12 months of the fixed fee will commence as described in paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4.
Invoicing per end user by the service provider to the client takes place simultaneously with the executed invoicing to the end user. The payment term is set at 1 week and will be collected by direct debit.
If the client does not pay within the agreed term, he will be in default by operation of law, without any reminder being required. From that moment on, the service provider is entitled to suspend the obligations until the client has fulfilled its payment obligation.
If the client remains in default, the service provider will proceed to collection. The costs related to that collection will be borne by the client. If the client is in default, he owes statutory interest, extrajudicial collection costs and other damage to the service provider. The collection costs are calculated on the basis of the Decree on compensation for extrajudicial collection costs.

5. Payment and subscriptions of end users

Invoicing and payment takes place in advance. The amount to be invoiced is based on the result of the previous month.

6. Other financial agreements

7. Implementation of the agreement

8. Force majeure

These circumstances also include defaults on the part of suppliers or other third parties, no or insufficient availability of the Exchange, power failures, computer viruses, strikes, bad weather conditions and work interruptions.
