By entering into a contract through the Clicplanning website, the client undertakes to respect the website user charter which forms an integral part of the contract. The charter is a living document.
"Clicplanning" is a trademark protected internationally.
The Clicplanning website, its logo, its design and layout, the elements it contains and the services it offers are protected under legislation relating to intellectual and industrial property rights (copyright, authors' rights, brands, drawings and models, commercial secrets, etc.). The signing up of a contract through the Clicplanning website involves no transfer to the client of rights whatsoever in respect of such elements which may not be copied or imitated.
Within the sole framework of the management of its marketing and communication actions in regard to its contacts, Clicplanning only grants the client a non-exclusive, non-transferable license for Clicplanning online services in accordance with the terms laid down in this document.
The Clicplanning online service may be used by clients and their associated user accounts and/or their representatives acting on their behalf, not including subsidiaries and/or head offices.
Clients shall refrain from diverting to their own uses or those of third-parties, the concept or any Clicplanning elements or components of the Clicplanning online service. Clients shall refrain from using any operation models and any documents whatsoever made available to them within the context of their use of the Clicplanning online service and/or beyond the duration of this contract.
5.1. All prices and delivery charges are shown on the site in euros, 21% Belgian VAT not included (see prices/orders page on Clicplanning's website).
Clicplanning makes every effort to display accurate prices. If the price displayed were to prove to be incorrect, we shall not be held liable to delivering the service or the product at a price displayed. Clicplanning will inform you of the error and will convey the correct price to you. We will ask you in such a case whether you wish to maintain your order or cancel it. Clicplanning reserves the right to change its prices at any time, without prior notice, before an order is executed.
5.2. Clicplanning has established specific rates based on a "unit credit" system for its e-mail, encrypted e-mail and SMS message dispatching services as well as for the verification of portable telephone numbers.
Under the proviso of the limitations and conditions described above, one "unit credit" generally represents the equivalent of 1 message sent or 1 verification of a portable telephone number.
The number of "unit credits" required to send a message or verify a portable telephone number may be less than, equal to or greater than one (1) "unit credit". The number of "unit credits" varies as a function of the pack and volume purchased, destination country, operator, telecommunication network and market-price fluctuations.
Clicplanning is dependent on the prices applied in the telecommunication market and may, at any time and without prior notice, alter the number of "unit credits" necessary to carry out an operation, even after the client has purchased "unit credits" or packs.
The "unit credits" may be used up to a maximum of 24 months from the date of purchase. After this time, the unused balance of "unit credits" is finally and irrevocably lost.
The service is automatically suspended if the balance of "unit credits" available is at zero (0) or insufficient to carry out the desired operation.
The client will ensure that there is, at all times, a "unit credit" balance sufficient to allow the proper execution of the services requested and will assume total responsibility for any suspension of services resulting from the balance being insufficient.
The number of "unit credits" required, their period of validity, pack prices and terms are displayed on our website on the prices/orders page.
5.3. The other services offered by Clicplanning are sold in accordance with the terms, limitations and prices displayed on our website on the prices/orders page.
5.4. Clients benefiting from VAT exemption for Clicplanning services must establish the legal conditions for such exemption when placing their orders, and comply with Belgium legislation. The request for VAT exemption must be made when ordering. Any subsequent request for VAT refunds will be rejected. The legal conditions are checked by Clicplanning during and after receipt of the order. In the event of there being an abusive request, VAT fraud or attempted fraud, Clicplanning will immediately block the client's account without prior notice and will keep the amounts received in lieu of damages.
Any order placed through the Clicplanning website is placed on condition of acceptance by ourselves and implies that the client accepts without reserve the general terms of sale and the user charter.
Once the order has been placed, an e-mail acknowledging receipt of the order will be dispatched. The only purpose of such an e-mail is to confirm receipt of your order and does not amount to acceptance of such. Clicplanning reserves the right to decline any purchase offer for any reason whatsoever.
The e-mail acknowledging receipt of the request will be followed by a second e-mail confirming the order and inviting the client to make a payment.
The contract is only established between the two parties once the requested payment has been made.
The prices for the services purchased are as mentioned on the order form such as confirmed when the order is accepted by Clicplanning.
Services are paid in advance upon receipt of the acceptance of the order.
Payments are made in euros, by credit transfer (order-filling and bank-collection charges are payable by the instructing party), by credit card (see list of cards accepted by Clicplanning) or by any other means of payment shown on our site on the prices/orders page. Unless there is specific prior agreement, cheques are not accepted.
The credit cardholder is fully responsible for any amounts due. By placing an order and by providing data in order for payment to be made, the client accepts that his/her credit card be debited by the amount due.
Clicplanning takes all possible steps to ensure that the order and payment data is secured.
For payments by credit card, Clicplanning uses an encryption process essential to ensuring a high level of transaction security. The encryption process ensures that the data relating to your credit card is protected.
In the secured zones where the Clicplanning.com URL begins with 'https://' (where the 's' means secured), the data is encrypted and therefore protected before being transferred via the Internet. Were such data to be intercepted, it would not be readable by any third party.
All of the information contained on this website is protected by specific protection systems.
Clients have access to the services forming the subject of the contract after their payment has been received.
When the payment is made by credit card, access to services is granted after the periods mentioned on the Clicplanning website.
When payment is made by bank transfer, access to the site is only granted after payment has been actually received.
Clicplanning does its utmost to allow access to services within the periods mentioned on its website. These delivery times are, however, mentioned for information purposes only and Clicplanning shall not be held liable in the event of their being exceeded.
Clients may not renege on their purchases after the orders have been placed.
The consumers referred to in Article 1.7 of the Belgian Act dated 14 July 1991 relating to commercial practices and consumer information and protection, i.e. "any physical person or moral entity who/which acquires or uses for purposes other than professional, products or services placed on the market" shall not be able to avail themselves of the option to renounce purchases within the seven-day period stipulated under Article 80 of the Act, if the contract entered into via the Clicplanning site is a contract for the supply of services the implementation of which began, with the consumers' agreement, before the expiry of the seven day renunciation period.
