Terms and conditions

These terms apply to the use of this website and to all quotes and agreements of Mekova (in formation), unless agreed otherwise in writing.

1. Website

The information on this website has been compiled with care but is general in nature. Prices on the website are indicative and exclude VAT; no rights can be derived from the website. Texts, logo and design of this website are the property of Mekova. The website's source code is public for inspection; that does not grant a right to reuse the brand or the content.

2. Quotes and agreement

A quote is valid for thirty days. An agreement is formed as soon as the client confirms a quote or scope document in writing (including by email). The scope document states the form of the engagement, the hours per week, the term and the fixed fee.

3. Performance

Mekova performs the engagement to the best of its knowledge and ability, using its own methods and resources. Mekova has an obligation of effort, not of result, unless explicitly agreed otherwise. The client provides the access, information and cooperation needed in good time. Mekova is free to work for other clients and may, after consultation, be replaced by an equally qualified professional.

4. Prices and payment

Ongoing engagements are invoiced monthly in advance at a fixed fee; a Delivery Sprint is invoiced as stated in the quote. All amounts exclude VAT. The payment term is fourteen days from the invoice date. Mekova may adjust its rates annually as of 1 January and will announce this at least one month in advance.

5. Term and termination

A Partner engagement has an initial term as stated in the scope document, usually four months. After that it continues monthly and either party may terminate in writing with one calendar month's notice.

6. Intellectual property

After full payment, the client owns the code, workflows, tests and documentation made specifically for them. Mekova retains the right to use general knowledge, methods and reusable templates that are not specific to the client elsewhere.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties keep the other's confidential information secret, also after the engagement ends. Mekova handles access to the client's systems, repositories and secrets with care and only uses them for the engagement.

8. Liability

Mekova's liability is limited to direct damage and to no more than the amount invoiced in the three months before the event that caused the damage. Mekova is not liable for indirect damage, such as consequential loss, lost profit or loss of data. These limitations do not apply in case of intent or deliberate recklessness.

9. Governing law

Dutch law applies to these terms and all agreements. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in the district where Mekova is established.
