Any other attempt to alter or amend these Terms will be deemed void and have no effect.

Any modifications to these Terms contained within a Contract are effective as to that Contract only and will not modify the Terms for any other purpose whatsoever. These Terms cannot be modified except in a written document signed by all parties.

1. Order And Delivery Policy

   1. Price quotations and purchase orders are not binding upon either party until an Order Confirmation is delivered. The Order Confirmation is subject to availability by Licensor.

   2. After an order has been confirmed the hours allowance becomes contract binding: The Client is then committed for that amount and even if The Client cancels the project or decides to change provider for any reason, that amount remains due. The Client is still liable for any damage or loss The Supplier should incur regarding the Client’s decisions.

2. Return Policy

The Supplier will not accept the return of supplied licences unless such returns are admissible as per the Licensor’s return policies. If the licences received are not those detailed in the Contract, The Client shall inform The Supplier no later than 10 business days of delivery.

The Client shall accept the billing model and will pay the fee in accordance with the deadline specified by the third party. The Client is responsible to ensure to agree with the billing model offered by the third party.
