The supply of goods and services to which these General Terms and Conditions apply (non-exhaustive):

Goods:

- Sale or rental of hardware (controller units with 4G, cameras, masts, etc.)

- Provision of, for example, masts, generators, purchased or rented by ASORECO from a third party.

Services:
- Licence to use the 'C-SITE' software platform and store data on a secure cloud server environment - the software system takes images (photos) at a specified frequency, to be determined in advance in consultation with the CONTRACTOR

- Services that include installation, project coordination, specific services at the request of the CONTRACTOR such as maintenance, on-site interventions, links to websites or intranet sites, links to social media channels, masking of images, stitching of images from multiple cameras and livestream.

- Provision of services (e.g. mobile data connection) consumed by ASORECO from a third party.

All offers made by ASORECO to CONTRACTOR are valid subject to material errors. Unless otherwise agreed, offers are valid for one month from the date of dispatch to CONTRACTOR.

Offers are always provided on the basis of the data supplied by CONTRACTOR (e.g. verbal information, planting plan, measurement statement, desired and feasible execution period). The price indicated in the offers is in principle a fixed price at which ASORECO shall deliver the goods and/or services on the basis of the information provided. If, however, the information provided turns out to be incomplete or incorrect, this may lead to a revision of the price offered in the offer.

An agreement is only concluded as soon as authorised representative of CONTRACTOR has explicitly confirmed the offer by means of an order confirmation. This order confirmation can be the signing and sending of the offer or the sending of an order form (see article 4 below) or a confirmation for approval by e-mail or any other form of written confirmation.  

Each order by the CONTRACTOR must be accompanied by an order form or similar document containing at least the following information:
- the correct number and type of goods and services
- selected frequency of the images
- site address (and delivery address if different from site address)
- site reference
- the details of the contact persons of the CONTRACTOR for the order
- the billing details (including e-mail) and, if required, the purchase order number/internal approval document, reception receipt and/or specific invoicing procedure
- and, more generally, any useful information in the context of ordering and delivery (e.g. specific features of the site).

Preferably, all information should be sent to ASORECO by e-mail at support@asoreco.com.

If the customer cancels the order, ASORECO shall be entitled to charge all costs already incurred and lost revenues (of any kind) as compensation. Such compensation shall always amount to a minimum of 10% of the amount excluding VAT as foreseen in the approved offer.

All deliveries are made to the delivery address specified by CONTRACTOR on the order form. Deliveries shall be made in consultation with the contact person of CONTRACTOR at the site (or at the delivery address). If the delivery is accompanied by installation (see article 6 of the General Terms and Conditions), ASORECO shall itself bring the ordered goods, unless otherwise agreed. From the moment of delivery (both at the time of purchase and at the time of rental), the goods fall under the full responsibility of the CONTRACTOR, such as for theft and damage. In the case of the purchase of goods from ASORECO, these remain the property of ASORECO until full payment of the invoice, and the CONTRACTOR expressly agrees with this retention of title. The CONTRACTOR may at no time sell, resell, alienate or otherwise encumber the goods before the ownership of the goods has been transferred.

The CONTRACTOR explicitly agrees that he himself and at his own expense will provide a power supply up to the selected location for the camera(s)/controller unit(s) on site. If specific procedures are applicable on the site (e.g. access) for which ASORECO has to incur costs, these are not included in the offer, unless otherwise agreed.

Unless otherwise agreed, the installation shall be carried out by ASORECO or an employee (this may also be a subcontractor under the responsibility of ASORECO). At the time of the order or at the latest at the time of a prior site visit (if required), the concrete modalities of installation (time, place, availability of facilities and materials, etc.) will be agreed.

ASORECO undertakes to guarantee a turnaround time of 14 working days until the installation, under normal circumstances, from the time the order is placed and the provision of all necessary information. However, this is indicative and as such can never be considered as a fatal deadline. Prior to installation, the CONTRACTOR will cooperate fully in order to ensure that the installation runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. ASORECO is committed to carrying out the installation according to the rules of expertise and standards that may be expected from a professional company active in the sector.

If, on the agreed day of installation, it appears that installation is not possible for a reason attributable to ASORECO, except in the case of force majeure on the part of ASORECO, the Parties shall agree on a new feasible installation date. Only if ASORECO fails to respect this second installation date will the CONTRACTOR be entitled to cancel the order, without the CONTRACTOR being entitled to compensation from ASORECO, except in the case of serious misconduct or gross negligence on the part of ASORECO.

If, on the agreed day of installation, it turns out that it is not possible to install at the agreed time for a cause attributable to the CONTRACTOR (contact person not present, no electricity supply, etc.), ASORECO reserves the right to charge the costs incurred for transport, materials and hours (including waiting time) for this separately, except in the case of force majeure demonstrated by CONTRACTOR.

If the installation reveals the need for additional materials or facilities which could not be foreseen based on the information supplied by the CONTRACTOR at the time of the offer, ASORECO is entitled to pass them on to the CONTRACTOR, at the prices or hourly rates applicable at that time.

If the CONTRACTOR chooses not to have the installation carried out by ASORECO but to carry it out itself or by an employee, ASORECO will provide the necessary instructions and advice for installation. If it appears that the goods do not meet the necessary quality requirements, the installation must be discontinued and any shortcomings must be reported to ASORECO in writing without delay. In the event of installation by the CONTRACTOR or a person appointed by him, ASORECO shall not be liable in any way for any fault or defect in the installation which would lead, for example, to undesired quality of the image, etc.

The goods will always be used by the CONTRACTOR as a reasonable man, even if the CONTRACTOR has purchased them.
After installation, goods may not be moved by the CONTRACTOR after installation, unless expressly approved by ASORECO. The CONTRACTOR bears all responsiblity for this where appropriate.

All damage of any kind to goods or theft of these goods (even if the CONTRACTOR has purchased them) must be reported to ASORECO within 24 hours after the determination.

ASORECO does not take any responsibility if damage or theft would lead to loss of recorded images, etc.
In the event of theft of or damage to goods leased or made available by ASORECO to the CONTRACTOR, the CONTRACTOR shall reimburse ASORECO for this in full and agree to the replacement of the goods at the then current prices.
In case of rental of the goods, the CONTRACTOR will sign in advance a loan agreement with a description of the rented goods.

All prices mentioned on offers, order forms, invoices or any other document are expressed in euros, excluding VAT (at the applicable VAT rate at that time) and any other taxes or contributions. When shipping goods, additional shipping costs may be due, which will be borne directly by the CONTRACTOR or charged by ASORECO to the CONTRACTOR.

Unless otherwise agreed, the invoicing of the delivered goods and services shall be done in advance for the entire estimated duration of the project (hardware, software, services provided by ASORECO and any goods and services of third parties). However, the Parties may agree to invoice the progressing services (software and any third-party services that are invoiced periodically) also periodically, but always with a minimum period of 6 months.

Unless otherwise agreed, the invoices are payable into the account of ASORECO, 30 days after the invoice has been sent to the e-mail address indicated on the order form. The CONTRACTOR hereby expressly agrees to the electronic sending of the invoice by e-mail. Absence of any purchase order number, internal approval document, etc. which was not communicated by the CONTRACTOR at the time of the order (order form) can not in any way give rise to an extension of the payment term.

Complaints with regard to an invoice are only admissible if the CONTRACTOR informs ASORECO of them in writing within a period of 10 working days after the date on which the invoice was sent (by registered letter or by e-mail to the contact person within ASORECO with a copy to info@asoreco.com). If the CONTRACTOR fails to do so, the invoice will be considered as irrevocably accepted by the CONTRACTOR.

In the event of non-payment or overdue payment of an invoice, the CONTRACTOR shall be liable by operation of law and without a reminder or notice of default to pay the legal interest on the amount not paid or paid late. In addition, the CONTRACTOR shall be liable by law and without a reminder or notice of default on any invoice that has not been paid or that has not been paid on time for a fixed compensation of 5% on the amount in question, with a minimum of 150 euros per invoice, as well as any (extra-)legal costs. In the event of non-payment or overdue payment of an invoice, ASORECO also reserves the right to suspend the current delivery of services and/or goods.

ASORECO is and shall remain at all times the owner of the intellectual property rights of the C-SITE software in the broadest sense of the word.

Intellectual property rights are understood to mean any patent, copyright, trademark, drawing and/or design rights and or any other rights, including sui generis rights to databases as well as technical and/or commercial knowledge, methods and concepts, whether or not patentable, in the broadest sense of the word.

In the event of infringement of intellectual property rights in any sense whatsoever by the CONTRACTOR or an employee in the broadest sense of the word, the CONTRACTOR shall pay a lump sum of 25,000 euros, plus 1,000 euros per day from the day the infringement is established, whereby ASORECO reserves the right to demand a higher amount if it can demonstrate that the damage suffered is greater.

The images themselves made by the goods (cameras) within the framework of this agreement become the legal property of the CONTRACTOR and he decides autonomously on the use of the images and bears any responsibility in this respect. The images can be consulted up to 3 months after the end of the provision of services and can be transferred to the CONTRACTOR on a data storage medium of his choice.

ASORECO reserves the right to use a limited number of images and/or timelapses created for the CONTRACTOR for promotional and/or marketing purposes without the prior express approval of the CONTRACTOR, while of course respecting the rules of privacy and the protection of personal data.

Failure of cameras connected to the C-SITE software platform are automatically detected by the platform via a monitoring procedure.

If the C-SITE platform no longer receives photos from the location of the camera, this will be automatically detected and communicated via e-mail to the designated contact persons of the CONTRACTOR.

This is done at default at 4 fixed times:
- 4 hours after detection and no reconnection in the meantime
- 24 hours after detection and no reconnection in the meantime
- 48 hours after detection and no reconnection in the meantime
- 96 hours after detection and no reconnection in the meantime

After these periodic mails, one more personal contact will be made via our service desk with the contact person provided by the CONTRACTOR via the intake document before the start of the project. This can be done by e-mail or by phone.

All subsequent actions undertaken by ASORECO at the request of the CONTRACTOR shall therefore be applied according to the current support rates, as listed in the price list in ANNEX 5. Action shall only be taken by ASORECO after consultation and approval by the CONTRACTOR.

We also expressly refer to the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to follow the advice of the service desk as a reasonable man and to take responsibility for the power supply on site.

Asoreco's customer service is available every working day from 9 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. on +32 9 279 12 60 or support@asoreco.com, with the exception of public holidays.

Complaints about the delivery of goods and services must always be made in writing (by letter or e-mail to support@asoreco.com) within 8 working days after the fact to which the complaint relates has been established.

The CONTRACTOR is at all times, and this from the moment of delivery, liable for the purchased or rented goods that were made available to him by ASORECO.

In the event that the goods show a defect that is not due to delivery, the obligation of ASORECO shall be limited to repair or replacement, to the exclusion of any compensation. Goods that show a defect must be returned to ASORECO by the CONTRACTOR in mutual agreement.

The warranty period on the goods is limited to the legal warranty period of the manufacturer or supplier (in principle 2 years) and starts from the delivery date. All claims outside the warranty period are the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR.

The CONTRACTOR can have the goods insured in his name against theft and/or damage and ASORECO can provide the product codes and description if requested.

ASORECO supplies the goods and services according to the rules of art and standards that may be expected from a professional company active in the sector.

ASORECO's liability extends to direct damage that is directly the result of the non or defective handling of its services, to the extent that this is not due to a shortcoming on the part of the CONTRACTOR himself or any third party. Under no circumstances shall ASORECO be liable for any indirect damage.

Subject to ASORECO's proven serious misconduct or gross negligence on the part of ASORECO:

- ASORECO shall never be obliged to pay any compensation to the CONTRACTOR or any third party;
- ASORECO shall never be liable for any loss or corruption of images/data, technical defect of the goods, theft of the goods, power failure, network failure, consequential damage, trading loss, indirect trading loss, (potential) loss of profit and/or turnover, change in atmospheric or weather conditions, faulty or improper actions of the CONTRACTOR or any third party

If, for whatever reason, ASORECO is nevertheless obliged to compensate any damage, the damage shall never exceed an amount equal to the invoice value of the goods and services to which it relates.

The execution of an agreement between the Parties shall be suspended in whole or in part if one of the Parties is unable to fulfil its obligations due to force majeure or any other exceptional cause beyond its control, such as government measures, seizure, measures of public order, war, fire, flood, explosion, strike, business interruption, failure to obtain any permits, power failure, prolonged failure of the telecommunications network or any other communication system used, etc. The Party prevented from fulfilling its obligations, within the limits of this prevention, is exempted from fulfilling its obligations. It should, however, make every effort to fulfil its obligations as soon as possible once the cause of the obstacle has been removed. The Party wishing to invoke a force majeure circumstance must immediately inform the other Party of the commencement and probable outcome of such circumstance.

Parties may terminate an agreement or order concluded between them at any time with immediate effect, without (additional) notice of default and without payment of compensation in the following cases:

- Failure to comply with one of the Parties, after prior notice of default with a recovery period of 10 working days, with one of the obligations in the agreement concluded between the Parties, except in the case of force majeure;
- Bankruptcy, liquidation, cessation of activities or WCO request of one of the Parties;
- A reasonable doubt that either of the Parties will fail to fulfil its obligations (whereby ASORECO as supplier of the goods and/or services may, as the case may be, request security to be provided on first request).

In the event of termination by ASORECO, all claims which ASORECO has against the CONTRACTOR shall become immediately due and payable and ASORECO shall reserve the right to claim compensation for all damage, costs, interest, etc. suffered.

The CONTRACTOR or any company affiliated with it (within the meaning of Article 11 of the Companies Code) or natural person shall refrain from recruiting employees (whether employees or self-employed) from ASORECO for a period ending 12 months after the end of the agreement between the Parties.

In the event of a breach of this obligation, the CONTRACTOR will pay a lump sum of 25,000 euros, with ASORECO reserving the right to demand a higher amount if it can prove that the damage suffered is greater.

For the processing of the personal data, the parties respect the Belgian legislation on the protection of privacy (Belgian law of 8 December 1992 and, as of 25 May 2018, the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR)).

The CONTRACTOR is the data controller in the sense of the abovementioned privacy regulations and is therefore the one who determines the purpose of and means for the processing of personal data. ASORECO is only a processor within the meaning of the abovementioned privacy legislation and processes the personal data solely for the benefit of or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR.

The CONTRACTOR, as the data controller, and ASORECO, as the processor, declare that they will comply with the privacy regulations. The customer fully indemnifies ASORECO against all claims of third parties in this respect.

In the use of the images, the Parties shall at all times guard the privacy and comply with the applicable legal rules in this respect.

In terms of privacy, the following should be noted:

- a personal log-in with a password should be used to consult the images;
- the images do not allow 'personal characteristics' such as the colour of the iris to be recognised;
- the images are stored on a secure external https. The images are stored on a secure external https:// environment (FTP server);
- images (photos) are taken at a certain frequency, no continuous recording (video recording) is provided;
- at the entrance of the site the CONTRACTOR will hang a poster (supplied by ASORECO) to inform all persons entering the site of the presence of cameras, the images of which can be used for monitoring and/or communication purposes;
- on request of the CONTRACTOR, masking of persons and/or zones can be provided to make faces and/or zones 'blurred' (this is set via the software) - depending on the requested functionality this may involve additional costs;
- the objective of taking the images does not involve active surveillance or security of the construction site and therefore the camera legislation of 2007 does not apply according to the Data Protection Authority
