- Test, download and commissioning
The client is obliged at his own expense to provide data for testing that correspond to business and/or technical practice and is obliged to provide at his own expense all prerequisites for testing in order to realize it in a timely manner and to a sufficient extent.
Commissioning of the Solution, some of its parts, or Services, depending on the content of the whole, may consist of:
- Acceptance and signature of functional and/or design specifications by the Contracting Parties
- Acceptance and signature of the Minutes on taking over the Solution, individual parts of the Solution and/or delivered Services.
Downloading of the Solution, individual parts of the Solution and/or Services will be performed by the Contracting Parties together. The success of the download will be confirmed by the Minutes on the download of the Solution, individual parts of the Solution and/or Services, which will be signed by the project managers of both Contracting Parties.
If the Client does not take over the Solution, a single unit of the Solution and/or Services within two weeks, it will be considered taken over on the day when the last day of the specified period passes.
The download will be considered successful if the Solution, individual parts of the Solution and/or Services meet all the functional and technical requirements defined by the Functional Specification, its attachments, accepted functional and/or design specifications and accepted and performed tests from the test forms that will be previously be defined and mutually agreed upon by the Contracting Parties, and if the Minutes on the taking over of the Solution, individual units of the Solution and/or Services have been signed by both sides.
If the Solution, an individual unit of the Solution and/or Services is put into production at the request of the Client, without tests carried out in accordance with the test forms, the Contracting Parties will define the minimum number of tests that must be carried out after being put into production, and if it is a Solution, an individual unit Solutions and/or Services in accordance with the accepted functional and/or design specifications and defined tests, will be handed over, which will be confirmed by the mutual signing of the Takeover Record.
If the Client uses the Solution, a particular set of Solutions and/or Services for production purposes with or without tests carried out in accordance with the test forms, regardless of whether the Solution, a particular set of Solutions and/or Services is on a development-test environment or on a production environment, it will be considered that the takeover has been carried out if such a Solution, an individual unit of the Solution and/or Services is in accordance with the accepted functional and design specifications, and this will be confirmed by the mutual signing of the Record of Takeover.
If, at the time of collection, delays beyond the agreed terms are determined through no fault of the Supplier, the Supplier does not guarantee any damage due to such a delay.
If the Client does not present reasoned objections to the results of the delivered Solution and/or Services, any of their parts, documentation and/or Software product within two weeks of the takeover, the Supplier may consider them accepted and may rely on them during the next steps in the delivery of the Solution and/or the Service.
Upon acceptance of all parts of the Solution and/or Services and upon signing of the final Project Takeover Record, the project will be considered completed, and the Supplier of the Solution and/or Service will not have any further obligations towards the Client, except for the obligation to eliminate errors in the accepted Solution within the warranty period and/or Services.
- Development, test and production system (or environment)
The Supplier will install the Software Product and/or Solutions for the development, test and production system on the dedicated Installation servers at the Client, at third parties or in the Cloud Infrastructure.
The client is obliged to fully test the Software product on the test system. During testing, he is obliged to use the range of data that is used in the production system and he is obliged to carry out the testing in the scope and in the manner that will be used in production.
As a rule, the Client should carry out the transfer of each Software Product and/or Solution from the test environment to the production environment in the manner defined by the Offer or Functional Specification.
The Supplier warns in advance and expressly points out that, based on the information about the current state of the Installation Servers, it is not possible to deliver Software Products/or Solutions that would be completely faultless. That is why the Supplier, in connection with its own Software products and/or Solutions and/or Software products that it distributes, guarantees only that the delivery and operation of the Software products and/or Solutions, in accordance with the instructions for using these Software products and/or Solutions, will be tested on recommended Installation servers and system software of the Client in accordance with current good practice.
If the Client acquires Installation servers, system software and/or software products, etc. from third parties, the Supplier will, at the request of the Client, provide an assessment of the basic suitability of this equipment and/or product for the desired goals. Costs for tests and installation work on the Customer's equipment are calculated according to the actual cost if they are not already contained in the Functional Specification.
In any case, the Client will assume the costs and risks for the ongoing operation of the device, including technically and organizationally adequate data security, protection against unauthorized access and virus attacks.
- Remote access
In order for the Supplier to implement the Offer and quickly support the Client in the event of a guarantee or other assistance, a system for remote electronic access will be established. Remote electronic access implies a Personalized VPN that the Client will provide for each employee of the Supplier who will work on the Project. Any other configuration (eg IPsec site2site VPN) increases the administrative effort for both parties and requires additional licenses. Also, a different VPN setup than the personalized one directly affects the responsiveness and quality of the service provided by the Supplier's consultants. The Supplier will provide all the necessary information for the Supplier's consultants who will work on the Project before the start of the activities, and the Client is obliged to provide personalized access in a timely manner so that the activities can be started according to the agreed deadlines.
Each Contracting Party bears the costs incurred in its premises (for Installation servers, system software, software products, telephone connections, etc.). Both project managers will jointly decide on the method of technical solution and on the relevant security risks.
The Client may limit remote access, for example only at certain times of the day, only for certain employees of the Supplier or according to other agreed criteria.
If, due to the impossibility of remote access, the Supplier incurs damage or additional costs in the part for which the Client is responsible, this additional cost can be charged separately to the Client. The supplier does not guarantee any damage due to the impossibility of remote acces.
- Delivery for maintenance and support
The phase of maintenance and support of the Software Products and/or Solutions begins with the signing of the Minutes on Downloading and Downloading the Software Products and/or Solutions. The exact start date of the maintenance and support phase, as well as the execution details, will be determined jointly by the Project Managers of the Client and the Supplier.
Regarding the maintenance of the Software Products and/or Solutions and the scope of the Services that the Supplier must provide in this regard, a separate contract on maintenance and support will be concluded.
- Change request
The change request is an integral part of every Project. A change request is a process of changing the functionality that changes the functionality of the Project in relation to the functionality defined by the contract. The request for change must always be in writing and its implementation should be according to a pre-defined procedure. After a precisely defined change request, the Client will decide on its implementation and confirm the costs related to its implementation in writing. The scope of work defined by the change request is not part of the individual contract or Offer, but will be regulated by a separate addendum to the contract or a new contract, with the application of the previously agreed fee.
- Other project assumptions
The Supplier and the Client agree to work together and in full and open communication with the common goal of quality delivery of the project within the given project deadlines.
If there are changes in assumptions during the delivery of the project, the Supplier's project manager will without delay inform the Client's project manager about how they affect the implementation of the project and the agreed deadlines and deliveries. Project managers of the Contracting Parties shall meet without delay and jointly adapt the Project Plan, in writing in the form of an addendum to the contract.
In cases where the Supplier requests information from the Client, it will be delivered to him in a timely manner and in accordance with the project plan.
The Client shall provide the Supplier with adequate access to all information and data sources necessary for the delivery of the project.

The Client will promptly (in accordance with good business practice) respond to the Supplier's inquiries related to all activities necessary to realize the project in question.
If within two weeks after the delivery of the final documents of an individual phase, comments and revised documentation are not delivered by the Client, the final documents of the phase will be considered accepted.
- Price and terms of payment
All prices, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in EUR and without VAT. VAT, if it is calculated in accordance with regulations, is calculated during invoicing and is borne by the Client.
The Supplier will calculate the license for the Software Product in accordance with the Offer, and will issue an invoice for the Services once a month. In the case of orders that include multiple quantities or items, or program modules, the Supplier may make partial deliveries, or issue partial invoices, usually by delivery stages.
The amount stated on the invoices shall be paid by the Client to the account of the Supplier indicated on the invoices within 30 days from the date of issue of the invoice. On the day of issue, the invoice will be sent electronically to the Client's address and/or by post in paper form, and in case the Client is a public institution, the invoice will be delivered in the form of an eInvoice.
The client is not authorized to transfer claims to third parties.
If the Client is late with the payment of the invoice, the Supplier has the right to calculate statutory default interest.
- Software products
The prices specified in the Offers for the Software products are binding until the date specified in the validity of the Offer. Any price increases by the manufacturer of the Software products that occur after the specified date will be charged to the Client, if he has not previously accepted an Offer with more favorable terms.
- Services
The prices stated in the Offers and price lists for the Services are binding on the Supplier for 30 days from the date of issue of the Offer, unless otherwise stated in the Offer. After that, if the Offer is not accepted earlier with more favorable terms, the Supplier may include the resulting increases in labor and material costs, i.e. other costs and fees, in its Service prices.
Services that the Supplier provides at the request of the Client and that exceed the initially agreed scope of Services will be calculated on the basis of the unit prices per roles stated in the Offer.
Services are performed within the usual working hours of the Supplier (Mon.-Fri. 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.) on working days in the Republic of Croatia. If, exceptionally and at the request of the Client, the Services are provided outside normal working hours, additional costs will be calculated separately as specified in these General Terms and Conditions and in the contract.
- Travel and overtime expenses
Travel expenses, per diems and overnight expenses will be charged separately to the Client. The exact arrangement is defined in the contract, otherwise the usual regulations apply in accordance with Croatian law. The time spent on the road will be calculated according to the time actually spent.
When providing Services outside of working hours as requested by the Client, the following additional costs will be calculated for one hour of the Services provided as a percentage of the agreed price of the Service:
- for overtime work (Mon.-Fri. 18:00-22:00) 50%
- for night work (Mon.-Fri. 22:00-6:00) 50 %
- for work on Saturdays 50%

- Deadlines and the right to withdraw
The supplier will try to adhere to the agreed deadlines from the mutually agreed Project Plan, which contains the deadlines for the activities of both parties and their interdependencies.
The execution deadlines set as a goal can only be respected if the Client completes all the necessary work on time, submits the documentation, confirms the obtained functional specifications and fulfills its obligation to cooperate.
The Supplier is not responsible for delivery delays and price increases that occur due to incorrect, incomplete or subsequently changed data and information, or documentation provided by the Client. Additional costs that would occur as a result will be borne by the Client.
Due to unforeseeable and unexpected events, eg due to force majeure, disputes with workers, natural disasters or system outages that are not under the control of the Client or the Supplier, each of the Contracting Parties may re-determine the deadlines.
If the agreed delivery deadline is exceeded solely due to the Supplier's fault, the Client is authorized, but with at least a 14-day extension of the deadline for fulfillment, to withdraw from the order in question by registered letter if, even within the extended deadline, the agreed Service is not performed in its important parts.
Deviation by the Client from already completed partial deliveries and Services is not allowed.
Adherence to the agreed payment terms is an important condition for the Supplier to carry out the delivery, i.e. the execution of the contract. Due to non-compliance with the agreed payments, the Supplier may stop ongoing work and withdraw from the contract within one week after a written warning. The client will bear all costs and damages that are related to this.
If the Client does not comply with the terms of payment or if the Supplier is aware of circumstances the consequence of which is (or will be) a serious reduction of the Client's creditworthiness, the Supplier is authorized to demand payment in advance for deliveries that have not yet been made.
Payments are made only by direct payment to the Supplier. If several claims are opened from the Client, the Client's payments settle the oldest claim each time. Possible costs are always settled first, followed by interest and finally the main claim.
The Supplier retains ownership rights and intellectual property rights over Software products and Solutions and on documentation intended for the Client as a user until full payment.
- Confidentiality and personal data
The contracting parties undertake to keep each mutually agreed contract confidential and thereby undertake not to, without the prior written consent of the other contracting party, disclose to unauthorized persons or any third party information related to or related to the contract, and in particular that the same shall not disclose to direct and indirect market competitors of other Contracting Parties.
