Article 1. Nature of obligations and methods of execution
AGRIFLIGHT undertakes to use its best efforts in the execution of the Services entrusted by the Customer. The commitments entered into by AGRIFLIGHT are exclusively obligations of means.
Upon receipt of a request for Services by a Customer, AGRIFLIGHT analyzes the scope of the request and draws up an estimate describing the scope and the technical and functional specifications of the Services (with specifications if applicable) and submits it to the Customer approval.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the estimate is valid for ten (10) Business Days from the date of issue.
Once the estimate has been accepted, the Order is confirmed and the Contract is concluded between the Parties.
The Order details the Services and specific needs forming part of the contractual framework binding the Parties. No service may be demanded by the Customer if it is not expressly included in the Order.
If, during the execution of the Contract, the need for additional services appears, the purpose of these will either be determined by a new estimate to be accepted by the Customer, or by an unequivocal written exchange between the Parties. Unless expressly provided otherwise, these General Conditions will apply to the additional services to be provided by AGRIFLIGHT.
Article 2. Deadlines
Unless otherwise agreed in the Order, all dates and deadlines mentioned in the Contract commit AGRIFLIGHT to use its best efforts to comply with them. The Client is, however, aware that the execution of the Services may be subject to the vagaries of weather conditions and in this regard releases AGRIFLIGHT from any liability in the event of a delay attributable to weather conditions making it impossible to perform the Services in good conditions. .
In the event of a request to postpone a deadline or date agreed in the Order by the Customer, the Parties will negotiate in good faith in order to establish new deadlines acceptable to both Parties. However, if this request for postponement occurs 2 days before the start date for execution of the Services initially agreed, AGRIFLIGHT will be entitled to claim compensatory compensation in an amount equivalent to 30% of the total amount of the Order.
Article 3. Execution and acceptance of the Services and delivery of the Deliverables
AGRIFLIGHT performs the Services in accordance with what is agreed in the Order.
If the execution of the Services involves the provision by AGRIFLIGHT of Deliverables to the Customer, these are delivered in accordance with the terms defined in the Order.
Once the Deliverables have been delivered and the Services executed, the Customer will have a period of 10 Working Days to notify AGRIFLIGHT of any observations regarding the conformity of the Deliverables and Services with the Order. In the absence of observations within the aforementioned period, the Customer will be deemed to have approved the Deliverables and the Services.
If necessary, AGRIFLIGHT will adapt the Deliverables and the Services to respond to the observations made. This provision of the adapted Deliverables and Services automatically entails the approval of the Client, unless the latter demonstrates within 3 Working Days that the adapted Deliverables and Services still do not respond to the observations made.
Article 4. Customer Obligations
The Customer acknowledges that the implementation of certain aspects of the Contract may depend on its cooperation. The Customer undertakes, with a view to the proper performance by AGRIFLIGHT of its obligations, to:
guarantee AGRIFLIGHT easy, secure and sufficient access to the locations necessary for the performance of the Services on the dates and times agreed between the Parties;

Article 5. Intellectual Property Rights
AGRIFLIGHT remains the holder of the Intellectual Property Rights (on the Services, including the Deliverables and the processes used as a result of the use of the Components). Unless expressly agreed otherwise in the Order, AGRIFLIGHT is therefore free to reuse any element of the Services and Deliverables in the context of similar services provided to third parties, or to incorporate these Services or Deliverables in whole or in part as a component in any product developed/marketed by AGRIFLIGHT.
Upon full payment of the price agreed in the Order and provided that the Services and Deliverables have been accepted by the Customer, AGRIFLIGHT grants the Customer a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable operating license for all Rights Intellectual Property held by AGRIFLIGHT relating to the Deliverables mentioned in the Order. The territorial scope and duration of this license are defined in the Order or, failing that, the license is deemed granted for the territory of Belgium and for a duration covering the duration of the Intellectual Property Rights on the Services / Deliverables Covered.
Unless otherwise provided in the Order, this license is granted within the limits of what is necessary for the Customer's internal needs, excluding any use for the benefit of third parties.
In the event that a third party claims any right (in particular intellectual property) over all or part of a Deliverable, AGRIFLIGHT undertakes to modify the Deliverable in order to replace any disputed element with a royalty-free element or to negotiate with the third party the right for the Client to continue to exploit said Deliverable. No other form of compensation will be owed to the Customer by AGRIFLIGHT.
Article 6. Client component to be integrated into the Services/Deliverables
If the subject of the Contract implies that elements are made available to AGRIFLIGHT for the execution of the Services, the elements provided remain the property of the Customer, who alone bears the risks of deterioration, loss or theft.
Customer grants AGRIFLIGHT a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Customer Component for the sole purpose of performing the Services in accordance with the Agreement, to the exclusion of any other use for any purpose unless authorized in writing client.
When the Client delivers the Client Component for integration or use in the Services or Deliverables, the Client assumes sole responsibility for the use of said Client Component in the Services/Deliverables.
The Customer also ensures that it provides AGRIFLIGHT with Components that comply with the technical constraints and/or minimum quality requirements required based on the choices made in the configuration of the Services and Deliverables, in accordance with the specifications contained in the Order. Particularly in this regard, the Client's collaboration constitutes an essential element for the successful completion of the Services.
The Intellectual Property Rights held by AGRIFLIGHT on the Services and Deliverables in accordance with Article 5 do not include the rights to the Client's Component which remain in any event the exclusive property of the Client.
Article 7. Guarantee of eviction
The Client guarantees AGRIFLIGHT against any recourse from third parties who consider that its rights (including its Intellectual Property Rights) are violated due to the subject of the Services and/or Deliverables requested by the Client from AGRIFLIGHT or due to the use by AGRIFLIGHT of Components provided by the Customer in the performance of the Services. In particular, the Customer will be responsible for:
all damages owed to the claiming third party, including advice costs and all costs linked to any procedure, such as in particular the costs of a bailiff or legal expert, procedural compensation;
all costs incurred by AGRIFLIGHT to protect its interests (in particular technical advice costs, lawyers' fees, including during the negotiation of an amicable settlement – AGRIFLIGHT preserving its free choice of advice, mediation costs and arbitration);

8.1. Prices of Services
In return for the Services, the Client will pay AGRIFLIGHT the price set in the Order, and, where applicable, in any additional Order.

The Customer shall be responsible for and shall pay all other taxes, duties, or similar charges of whatever nature levied, assessed, charged or collected, for or in connection with the Services provided.
The recurring nature of certain prices (rental services, for example) will be mentioned in the Order, if applicable. In this case, AGRIFLIGHT is free to modify its prices by notifying the Customer by email at least three months before the end of the current contractual period.
Likewise, AGRIFLIGHT will be free to pass on any price increase from its subcontractor(s), even during the contractual period. In this case, however, the Customer will benefit from the right to terminate the Services concerned, without compensation, within the month following notification of the price increase justified by a change in the prices of the subcontractor(s).

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Order, the fixed price set in the Order is payable in cash in installments:
- 30% of the price upon signing the Order, as a deposit;
- 70% after Acceptance of the Services or the last Deliverable by the Client.
The execution of the Services only begins after receipt of the deposit payment (35%) made by the Client. The balance of the price will be invoiced upon Acceptance of the Deliverables in accordance with Article 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3, payment is deemed to constitute Acceptance of the Services, unless the Client expressly expresses reservations before paying.
However, when Services are provided on a continuous basis (rental, for example), monthly invoicing in advance will be sent to the Customer.
All invoices are payable no later than 30 days from the date of issue of said invoice.
In the event of late payment, any amount due and not paid in due time bears, automatically and without prior notice or reminder, interest at the legal rate.

In the event of contestation of an invoice by the Customer, the latter must indicate in writing the reasons why he disputes all or part of the amounts covered by this invoice within a reasonable period, in no case exceeding ten (10) Working Days.
Article 9. Responsibilities
Unless expressly provided to the contrary, AGRIFLIGHT's obligations under this Contract constitute obligations of means.

In any event, AGRIFLIGHT's total liability for direct damages resulting from a violation of this Agreement is limited to a maximum amount of compensation (in principal, interest, court costs, attorneys' fees) equivalent to 40% of the amount (excluding VAT) included in the Order covering the disputed services.
AGRIFLIGHT will not be responsible for any delay or failure in the performance of the Services when this is attributable to a failure by the Client to fulfill its own obligations.
Article 10. Force Majeure
No Party may be considered to be in default of executing this Contract if its execution is prevented or delayed by a case of Force Majeure.

As of this notification, the Party invoking the Force Majeure event is exempted from the performance of its obligations which are absolutely prevented, limited, or compromised due to this Force Majeure event and this Party will not be considered to be in default of performance nor will it be subject to any liability.
If the Force Majeure continues beyond twenty (20) Business Days or if the Party invoking the Force Majeure event informs the other Party of the fact that it becomes reasonably certain that it will no longer be able to perform one's obligations under this Agreement, the Parties undertake to negotiate in good faith in order to find a reasonable solution.
