§3 Contract Formation

Service presentations on our website and in marketing materials are non-binding and do not constitute an offer to enter into a contract.

A contract is formed when:

  • The customer submits a binding offer (e.g., through a demo request or service inquiry), and
  • VELENTIS accepts this offer in writing (including email) or begins performance of services within 14 days of receiving the offer.

§4 Payment Terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • All invoices are due within 14 days of issue
  • Payments are to be made net in Euros, plus applicable VAT
  • Payment method: Bank transfer only
  • In case of default, interest shall be charged at 9 percentage points above the base rate

The customer may only offset claims that are undisputed or have been legally established.

§5 Service Performance

Performance deadlines are derived from individual contracts and service agreements. Unless otherwise specified, VELENTIS aims to deliver services within 14 working days from contract formation.

In cases of force majeure (including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, or infrastructure failures), VELENTIS reserves the right to postpone performance or, if performance becomes impossible, to withdraw from the contract without liability.

§6 Data Protection

VELENTIS uses infrastructure within the European Union for data processing and storage. All data processing activities comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national data protection laws.

Where VELENTIS processes personal data on behalf of the customer, a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) shall be concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

§7 Contract Duration and Termination

Indefinite Contracts: Either party may terminate with three months' notice to the end of a calendar month.

Fixed-Term Contracts: Cannot be terminated early unless for cause. Fixed-term contracts automatically expire at the end of the agreed term unless renewed in writing.

The right to extraordinary termination for cause remains unaffected.

§8 Intellectual Property

VELENTIS retains all intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, in its services, software, and deliverables.

Upon full payment, the customer receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the deliverables for their intended business purpose.

The following are expressly prohibited:

  • Reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly
  • Sublicensing or transfer of usage rights to third parties
  • Modification or creation of derivative works without prior written consent

§9 Liability

VELENTIS liability is limited as follows:

Unlimited Liability: For damages resulting from intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, and under mandatory statutory provisions (e.g., Product Liability Act).

Limited Liability: For negligent breach of material contractual obligations, liability is limited to foreseeable, typically occurring damages and capped at the net total remuneration paid by the customer in the last contract year.

Exclusion: Liability for slight negligence in breach of non-material obligations is excluded.

§10 Warranty

VELENTIS warrants that its services will be performed with due care and in accordance with the agreed specifications.

The customer must report any defects in writing within 14 days of discovery. VELENTIS shall have the opportunity to remedy defects within a reasonable period.

  • The customer is responsible for reviewing and approving AI outputs in their business processes

§12 Confidentiality

Both parties agree to treat all confidential information received from the other party as confidential and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent.

This obligation shall survive the termination of the contract for a period of three years.

  • VELENTIS IBERIA, S.L. (Spain): Spanish law applies. Place of jurisdiction is Madrid.

The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.

§14 Severability

Should any provision of these GTC be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
