Bitmetric will send an invoice for all amounts due and is entitled to invoice in advance and electronically. All invoices must be paid within 30 days of the invoice date. If the User fails to pay an invoice, or pay it in full, within the payment term, it will be in default by operation of law. In such case, Bitmetric is entitled (i) to charge the User the statutory interest for commercial transactions on the outstanding amount, and (ii) to suspend provision of all or part of the Products until the User has paid the outstanding amount in full.
If the User continues to fail to pay an invoice following a demand for payment or a notice of default, Bitmetric will be entitled to refer the claim for collection. Any extrajudicial costs and legal expenses incurred by Bitmetric, including the costs of legal experts, lawyer’s fees, bailiff costs and the costs of debt collection agencies, will in such a case be completely at the User’s expense.

Prices and payment details are specified on the Website and/or in the Products. Certain Products are available for a limited period of one year at no charge.

9. SUPPORT
Bitmetric shall provide the User with a reasonable level of support through the Website and/or e-mail (or other communication channels announced to the User). Bitmetric, however, does not guarantee that all requests for support or bug reports are taken into consideration.
10. GUARANTEES AND LIABILITY
Bitmetric guarantees that the Products substantially operate as described in the documentation; that the Products contain no viruses, backdoors or malicious routines; Bitmetric will use its best efforts to investigate any reported bugs as soon as is practical and to repair such bug or create a workaround (but may delay repairing bugs with limited impact until the next planned update); Bitmetric grants no additional guarantees and/or warranties. In particular, Bitmetric makes no representation or warranties, either expressed or implied, that any services rendered or any design or process which is the result of a particular use of the Products, will not infringe any patent, copyright, or proprietary right of any kind of any third party, and Bitmetric will have no liability whatsoever for any claim or suit against the User by any other party for such infringement.
Except in case of intentional misconduct or gross negligence, the liability of Bitmetric for damages in connection with the Products or the violation of a warranty granted above is limited to an amount equal paid by User under the Agreement over a period of twelve (12) months prior to the damage-causing incident occurred, regardless of the number of events. Bitmetric in no event is liable for indirect damages, consequential damages, lost profits, missed savings or damages through business interruption.
The obligation for Bitmetric to pay compensation will only arise if the User sends written notice to Bitmetric of this damage within fourteen (14) days of the damage occurring.
Bitmetric shall not be responsible or liable for failure to deliver or comply with any provision of this Agreement if such non-performance is due to causes beyond its reasonable control such as, but not limited to, acts of God, government restriction, fire, floods or explosions, acts of terrorism, war, weather, power outages, Internet failures, telecommunication infrastructure failures, network attacks (including D(DOS) attacks), attacks by malware or other harmful software. In such event, the time for performance hereunder shall be extended by the period of time attributable to the delay.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY
Both parties shall refrain from disclosing or using for any other purpose than within the scope of this Agreement, any trade secrets and other information of the other party that has been designated as confidential or the confidential nature of which is known or can reasonably be deemed to be known by the other party.
Both parties accept the duty to observe strict secrecy towards third parties with respect to all that has been arranged for in this Agreement. In addition, the parties accept the duty to observe strict secrecy with respect to all information regarding the activities and organization of the other party, except in as far as such information was already part of the public domain without any involvement of the other party.
12. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is entered into for the (subscription) period stated on the Website or as stated elsewhere (hereinafter: “the Contract Period”). If the Contract Period is not stipulated, it shall be deemed to have been entered into for a Contract Period of 12 months. Unless agreed to the contrary, this Agreement, in the absence of termination in writing reaching Bitmetric at least two (2) months before the end of the Contract Period, shall always be tacitly extended by the same Contract Period.
This Agreement terminates automatically and immediately in case the User enters into bankruptcy, the User applies for a suspension of payments, the assets of the User are seized, the User passes away, or in case the User enters into liquidation, legal dissolution or winding-up.
After termination of the Agreement, regardless of the reason, User must cease all use of the Products. In addition the User must remove all copies (including backup copies) of the Products from all computer systems under control of User.
13. CHANGES TO AGREEMENT
Bitmetric may update or modify this Agreement from time to time, including any referenced policies and other documents. If a revision meaningfully reduces User’s rights, Bitmetric will use reasonable efforts to notify User (by, for example, sending an e-mail to the billing or technical contact you designate in the applicable order, or in the Product itself) at least thirty (30) days before the updates or modifications become effective.
If Bitmetric modifies the Agreement during license term and/or subscription term, the modified version will be effective upon your next renewal of a license term, support or maintenance term, and/or subscription term, whichever applies. In this case, if User objects to the updated Agreement, as your exclusive remedy, you may choose not to renew, including cancelling any terms set to auto-renew.
With respect to Products available for free, accepting the updated Agreement is required for you to continue using those Products. You may be required to click through the updated Agreement to show your acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Agreement after it becomes effective, you will no longer have a right to such Products. For the avoidance of doubt, any order is subject to the version of the Agreement in effect at the time of the order. Changes to the Agreement resulting from mandatory law may be implemented at any time without notification being required and without the User being entitled to terminate the Agreement.
14. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS
Dutch law applies to this Agreement. Unless dictated otherwise by mandatory law, all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement shall be brought before the competent Dutch court for the principal place of business of Bitmetric.
A finding that any particular provision of this Agreement is legally void or unenforceable shall not affect the validity of the entire Agreement. In such a case the parties shall determine a replacement provision that is legally valid and approximates the intent of the relevant provision as much as possible.
The parties can only transfer the rights and obligations arising from the Agreement to a third party with the written permission of the other party. Bitmetric will, however, be authorised to transfer the Agreement, without User’s prior permission or cooperation to a parent company, sister company or subsidiary, or to a third party in the event of a merger or acquisition. Bitmetric will inform User as soon as possible, in writing, after such a transfer has taken place.
