General terms and conditions Logi-Cal bv

These general terms and conditions apply to all agreements between us (Logi-Cal bv, 3500 Hasselt, Spelvojestraat 6, known under the company reference number 0649.860.309, www.heat-box.be and derivative companies) and our clients, insofar as they are not modified by special conditions or separate agreements concluded in writing and without prejudice to the application of mandatory legal provisions. The customer acknowledges having read and accepts the general terms and conditions by logging into or using the Heat-Box application (hereinafter “the Application”), even where they are contrary to the client’s own general or special terms and conditions. The latter conditions shall be binding only if they have been expressly accepted by us in writing. Any amendments to the terms and conditions will be effective upon notification to the customer and will be deemed to have been accepted if a customer re-logs into or continues to use the Application. The general terms and conditions are permanently available, and can be viewed on our website.


1. Price lists, quotes and orders

All our price lists, quotes and contract proposals are without obligation, and are provided as information only and are not binding for us. Our price lists are always available on our website. Our price lists are subject to change without prior notice. Any order, assignment or acceptance of our offer made by the client shall be binding for the client, but shall only bind us following our written acceptance. Any cancellation of an order must be made in writing and shall be valid only subject to our written acceptance.


2. Delivery Periods

Any delivery periods are provided for information purposes only and are therefore not binding. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, delays in the provision of services shall not give rise to penalties, compensation or the cancellation of the order. We reserve the right to perform partial services. The partial performance of an order shall not warrant refusal to pay for the services performed.


3. Pricing and payment

Unless otherwise agreed, the price stated in the current price list applies to the use of the Application. The price is increased annually by 1.9% with effect from the first day of the calendar year.

The order or assignment shall be invoiced at the prices and conditions stated in our price lists or in the quotation accepted by the client. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, prices quoted by us are exclusive of VAT.

The client acknowledges that in case of use of the Application for more than 12 months, the applicable price is automatically increased by 1.9%. The applicability of the new price does not require acceptance from the client.

Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, our invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date into our bank account as stated on the invoice. In the event of full or partial non-payment by the due date, late-payment interest of 10% per annum will be charged, ipso jure and without notice of default. In addition, a fixed compensation of 10% of the unpaid invoice amount will be due, with a minimum of EUR 40 and a maximum of EUR 1,500 without prejudice to the right to claim a higher compensation on the condition that proof is provided of the higher damage actually suffered. The non-payment of an invoice on the due date makes all other claims against the customer immediately due and payable by operation of law.

In the event of non-payment, we are entitled to suspend our services until full payment of all outstanding invoices.

No reason whatsoever, for example complaints regarding the Application or comments regarding an invoice, can result in the customer being able to suspend his payment obligations.


4. Dissolution

Each party has the right to dissolve the agreement with the customer at any time, with immediate effect, without prior judicial authorization or notice of default and without payment of any compensation, in the following cases: (i) if the other party, despite written notice of default whereby a term of at least 7 calendar days is observed, remains in default with the (timely and proper) fulfillment of one or more of its obligations; (ii) in the event of cessation of payment or (application for) bankruptcy or any reorganization by the other party; (iii) upon liquidation or cessation of the other party’s business; (iv) if (part of) the assets of the other party are seized; or (v) if one party has good reason to doubt that the other party will fulfill its obligations to us.

In case of dissolution, each party reserves the right to claim compensation for all costs and damages suffered and all claims against the other party become immediately due and payable.


5. Complaints

We must be notified of any complaints concerning our invoices in writing within 15 days of receipt of the invoice. After this period, invoices shall be deemed as accepted without reservation. The partial payment without reservation is considered as acceptance of the entire invoice.

The client undertakes to verify without delay whether the quality of the service provided corresponds with the agreement. We must be notified of any complaints regarding non-compliance of services in writing within 15 days of fulfilment of the service. After this period has expired, the service shall be deemed to have been accepted without reservation and the complaint shall no longer be taken into consideration. A complaint does not warrant suspension of payment.


6. Intellectual property

Not withstanding any other written agreement, all intellectual property rights relating to the services or products provided by us remain our property and are not transferred to the client under any circumstances.


7. Exclusivity

Not withstanding any other written agreement, there is no exclusivity between us and the client. We can always sell and/or offer the Application, other products and services to which the agreement applies to third parties. In doing so, we shall always respect the proper and faithful performance towards the client.


8. Processing of personal data

Insofar as personal data is processed in the course of performing the work, we undertake to use personal data discreetly and to protect its confidential and private nature. The aforementioned is in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Law of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the other relevant legal regulations in force. We have taken appropriate legal and technical precautions to the best of our ability to prevent unauthorised access to and use of your personal data. Where it is impossible to fully guarantee security, we will implement the appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data. The privacy and cookie statements are permanently available and can be viewed on our website.


9. Liability

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, all our commitments are obligations of means. Without prejudice to mandatory legal provisions to the contrary, we shall only be liable for damage caused by the non-fulfilment of our obligations if and insofar as such damage was caused by our wilful or grossly negligent fault or deceit. We are not liable for any other errors.

In the event that we are held liable for any damage, our liability shall be limited to a maximum of the invoice value of the client’s order, or at least to that part of the order to which the liability relates. We are only liable for direct damage. We are not liable for indirect damage, including but not limited to consequential damage, loss of profit, missed savings or damage to third parties.

In the event of force majeure, our obligations shall be suspended and we shall be legally discharged and not be obliged to fulfil any obligation towards the client. Force majeure on the part of the client is hereby expressly excluded.


10. Applicable law and jurisdiction

All agreements to which these general terms and conditions apply shall be governed exclusively by Belgian law.
