Last updated: 1 February 2025
1. Introduction
These terms govern the billing and payment conditions applicable to the software development and programming services provided by Alex Abbas Deselaers («skanndar»), hereinafter "the service provider".
By engaging my services, the client accepts the following conditions:
2. Services and Quotes
- Any additional development or modification beyond the scope of the initial quote will be charged separately, subject to the client's prior approval.
- Delivery times and specific conditions will be set out in the contract or service agreement.
3. Payment Methods
Payments may be made through the following methods:
- Bank transfer: indicating the invoice number as the reference.
- Credit/debit card
- PayPal/Bizum
Payment must be made in euros (€), unless expressly agreed otherwise.
4. Payment Terms and Conditions
- The client must pay the invoice within a maximum of 15 days from the issue date.
- For long-term projects, an advance payment of 33% may be required before starting work, and the remainder will be paid in partial deliveries or upon completion of the service.
- If payment is not made by the agreed date, the service may be suspended until the outstanding amount is settled.
5. Late Payment Interest and Surcharges
- In the event of late payment, the late-payment interest provided for in Spanish Law 3/2004 on combating late payment will apply (the ECB rate plus 8 percentage points, on an annual basis).
- If the debt persists after 45 days, debt-collection services or legal advice may be used.
6. Billing and Error Correction
- If the client detects any error in the invoice, they must report it within a maximum of 7 days from receipt by emailing skanndar@skanndar.top.
- No claims regarding invoices will be accepted once this period has passed.
7. Cancellations and Refunds
- As the services provided are digital and personalised, no returns or refunds are accepted once work has begun.
- If the client decides to cancel an ongoing project, they must pay for the work carried out up to the cancellation date.
- If the service includes a warranty for corrections or maintenance, it will apply according to the conditions agreed in the contract.
8. Intellectual Property Rights
- Unless otherwise agreed, the developed code may not be resold or reused without prior authorisation.
- The client will receive the rights to the developed software only once full payment for the project has been made.
- We reserve the right to include the project in our portfolio, unless the client expressly requests otherwise.
9. Dispute Resolution
- Any dispute arising from billing or payment will be resolved in accordance with Spanish law.
- Both parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Barcelona, Spain.
