Terms and conditions

01What these terms cover

These terms cover this website and the Digital Bricks Statement of Work application. They are not the commercial terms of any engagement. The scope, price and delivery of a project live in the Statement of Work itself and in the master services agreement attached to it.

Where anything on this website disagrees with a Statement of Work that has been signed by both parties, the signed document is the one that counts.

02Who may use the application

• Staff accounts. Accounts are created by a Digital Bricks administrator and belong to one named person. They are not to be shared, and you are responsible for what is done under yours.

• Roles. What an account can do depends on its role. Only an administrator can approve a Statement of Work and issue the link that sends it to a customer.

• Customer links. A link to a document is issued for the named recipient and the people they choose to show it to. It is not a public address and should not be published.

03The documents themselves

A Statement of Work becomes binding when it is accepted by an authorised representative of the customer, together with the master services agreement referenced in it. Until then it is a proposal and can be withdrawn, corrected or superseded.

Nothing published on this website is an offer, a quotation or a price list. Prices exist only inside a specific Statement of Work, are stated exclusive of value added tax unless the document says otherwise, and are valid for the period the document states.

04Acceptance and electronic signature

A customer accepts a Statement of Work in the browser, by confirming their name and role and applying a signature. Under Dutch law and the eIDAS regulation an electronic signature of this kind is capable of having the same legal effect as a signature on paper.

The person accepting confirms that they are authorised to bind their organisation. At the moment of acceptance the application records the signatory, the time, and a cryptographic hash of the document exactly as it stood, and files an archive copy. From that point the version cannot be edited. It can only be superseded by a new version that both parties can still read.

05Link validity and expiry

Every customer link has an expiry date, set when the document is issued. After that date the link stops working and the proposal has lapsed. Extending it is a deliberate act by a Digital Bricks administrator, and re-issuing a lapsed proposal produces a new link rather than reviving the old one.

An expired link is not by itself a withdrawal of a commercial offer, and a lapsed proposal is not a refusal to do the work. If a link has stopped working, ask your Digital Bricks contact to issue a new one.

06Availability

The application is provided for business use. We work to keep it available and to keep issued links reachable, but we do not promise uninterrupted service. Maintenance, a platform incident at our hosting provider or a change of version can all interrupt it.

If a link is unreachable when a deadline matters, contact the person who sent it. Deadlines that fall inside an interruption are handled sensibly rather than mechanically.

07Intellectual property

The application, this website, the service catalogue, the clause library and the generated wording are the property of Digital Bricks B.V. Receiving a Statement of Work gives you the document and the right to use it for the purpose of evaluating, agreeing and administering the engagement described in it.

It does not give you a licence to the catalogue, the clause library or the application, and it does not permit reuse of the wording in another supplier's proposal.

08Acceptable use

• Do not attempt to reach a document that was not sent to you, to guess or manipulate a link token, or to interfere with the expiry of a link.

• Do not scan, probe, scrape or load-test the application, and do not attempt to decompile or reverse engineer it.

• Do not upload material you have no right to share, or anything that would put confidential information of a third party into a document.

• Reporting a problem. If you find a security weakness, tell us at max@digitalbricks.ai before telling anybody else, and give us a reasonable period to fix it. We will not pursue anyone who reports in good faith and does not access data beyond what is needed to demonstrate the issue.

09Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or for death or personal injury, and nothing limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.

Liability for delivered work is governed by the master services agreement attached to the relevant Statement of Work, and the limits in that agreement apply. Beyond that, this website and the application are provided as they are, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from their use.

10Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Netherlands. Disputes that cannot be resolved between us are submitted to the competent court in Amsterdam, without affecting any mandatory right you have to bring proceedings elsewhere.
