Terms & conditions
These terms apply to all offers and agreements of MAAS·studio. They are drawn up under Dutch law; the Dutch version prevails in case of any discrepancy.
1. Definitions
- Studio: MAAS·studio, KvK 92837465;
- Client: the party entering into an agreement with the Studio;
- Service: designing, building and delivering a website and related services.
2. Applicability
These terms apply to every quote and agreement unless agreed otherwise in writing. The Client's own terms are expressly rejected.
3. Quotes and fixed price
Audit, mockup and proposal are without obligation and free of charge. The proposal states one fixed price and the defined scope. A quote is valid for 30 days.
4. Formation of the agreement
The agreement comes into being once the Client accepts the proposal in writing (including by email). These terms are made available before or upon conclusion (art. 6:233 Dutch Civil Code).
5. Performance and delivery
The Studio performs to the best of its insight and ability. The guideline for delivery is 4–6 weeks after approval and receipt of the required materials. Stated periods are target periods, not strict deadlines.
6. Client cooperation
The Client provides the required text, images and access in good time. Delays here may shift the planning and delivery accordingly.
7. Payment
- 50% at the start (proposal approval), 50% on delivery before launch;
- Payment term 14 days from the invoice date;
- Amounts exclude 21% VAT. Late payment incurs the statutory commercial interest.
8. Intellectual property and transfer
After full payment, the rights to the delivered design, code and content transfer to the Client. Until then all rights rest with the Studio. The Studio may show the work in its portfolio unless agreed otherwise in writing.
9. Aftercare and warranty
For 6 months after delivery, the Studio fixes defects attributable to it free of charge (bug-fix warranty). Changes or extensions outside the original scope are not covered.
10. Liability
The Studio's liability is limited to the amount invoiced for the relevant assignment, with a maximum of €5,000. The Studio is not liable for indirect or consequential damage. This limitation does not apply in case of intent or wilful recklessness.
11. Hosting and domain
Domain name and hosting are registered in the Client's name and are the Client's property. Their costs are separate from the fixed project price.
12. Personal data
Processing of personal data takes place in accordance with the privacy statement. Where the Studio processes personal data on behalf of the Client, the parties conclude a data processing agreement (GDPR art. 28).
13. Cancellation
If the Client cancels after approval, the work already performed is payable, with a minimum of the first instalment (50%).
14. Force majeure
In the event of force majeure, obligations are suspended. If force majeure lasts longer than 60 days, both parties may dissolve the agreement without any duty to compensate.
15. Governing law and disputes
All agreements are governed by Dutch law. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in Rotterdam.
