2.4 Deadline
The budget includes:

GIGA4 shall make every effort to provide the Services to the Customer on the agreed date, but shall not be liable for circumstances or events beyond its control, such as delay on the part of the Customer or its employees in providing response, remedies or making decisions, as well as delay, interruption or malfunction of the Services attributable to third parties, or acts or omissions of Public Authorities or force majeure.
In the event that the provision of the service is stopped due to one of these events, the project will be paused, freeing up the time reserve that GIGA4 has set aside for the development of this project. At the time of reactivation, the project would be rescheduled in the GIGA4 schedule to the nearest free space and counting on the time remaining from the time the project was stopped, the delivery date having been moved to a more distant date by simple mathematical obviousness.
In the event that the project is stopped for a cause attributable to the Client or its collaborators, GIGA4 reserves the right to apply the following:
- In case the project is stopped for more than 6 months, a fee of 50€/month (+VAT) from that moment for the maintenance of the website in our development environment.
- In the event that the project is held up for more than 18 months, the contract is terminated and the customer must pay GIGA4 the amount outstanding up to that time according to the progress of the project.
In the event that the project has not been delayed due to the above causes and its estimated delivery is delayed due to a cause attributable to GIGA4, the Customer may demand the following:
- In the event that the project is delayed by more than 3 months, an indemnity of 5% of the amount paid for this project for each additional month of delay up to a maximum of 50% (10 months)
- If the project is delayed by more than 13 months, the contract will be terminated and GIGA4 will have to pay the customer 100% of the amount paid for the project.
2.5 Acceptance
Acceptance of the provision of a service offered by GIGA4 by the applicant shall be deemed to have been given when the applicant so indicates to GIGA4 through the means of communication provided for this purpose and, if an initial payment is required, the applicant pays the consideration requested in accordance with the payment schedule provided.
2.6 Execution
After acceptance, GIGA4 will inform the customer of the new start date if this has been modified in the period between the preparation of the quotation and its acceptance.
The Client accepts the provision of the Services detailed in the quotation but not any other, the execution of tasks not detailed in the quotation will not be taken for granted.
During execution GIGA4 may present drafts or ideas and ask the Client for feedback or decision making to move the project forward.
It is possible that during the performance of the Service, GIGA4 or the Customer may become aware of the need to add, modify or remove requirements or tasks in such a way that may change the initial quotation. In which case, the development of the Service will be paused and we will return to item 1 of this procurement process.
2.7 Completion
When the tasks or services detailed in the quotation have been completed by GIGA4, the client will be notified by email, who will then have a period of 10 working days to approve the work performed.
During this period, the client may submit by email a report that will include possible corrections, bugs found and/or minor modifications that do not involve the start of a new service, as well as any questions regarding the work performed. This rectification process may be carried out once more, and the customer will have 2 revisions to request possible changes.
GIGA4 reserves the right to decide whether such requests for changes are part of the work specified in the initial quotation and should therefore be included in the quotation or whether a new contract would in fact be necessary to meet such changes.
Once the client has given the go-ahead or 10 working days have passed without any report from the client, the client will be asked for the final payment of the project, unless it has already been made before.
The project or service assignment is terminated at this time.
