1. General Conditions (hereinafter the "GC")
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, these GC (as they may be amended from time to time) apply to all contracts entered into between GPC Gov and a client and to all services and assignments entrusted to and accepted by GPC Gov, including any consequential services and new services and contracts. Any conclusion of a contract between GPC Gov and the client and any solicitation of our services, after communication of these GC, constitutes acceptance of the GC by the client.
In the event that the GC were only communicated to the client after the conclusion of the contract or after the request for services, the client's acceptance of the GC shall be deemed to result from the absence of written objection within 8 calendar days of the communication of the GC.
These GC form an integral part of the contracts entered into between GPC Gov and the clients.
These GC apply to the exclusion of all others. Each clause constitutes a separate and independent provision. If any provision were to be considered null or unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
The term "Subscription Agreement" means the contract entered into between GPC Gov and the client for the periodic notification to the client of public tenders that may potentially be of interest, comprising the order form, invoice(s), and these general conditions.
Periods expressed in months or years shall be calculated from date to the eve of the corresponding date.
For registered mail, the period shall commence from the day following the date of the postal stamp.
The day of expiry is included in the period.
2. Beneficiaries of Information provided by GPC Gov and use thereof
All notices, information, notes, advice, notifications, etc. provided by GPC Gov (the "Information") are provided for the exclusive benefit and exclusive information of the recipient, in their capacity as a client of GPC Gov. The client undertakes to (i) not use the Information other than for their personal benefit (ii) not use the Information to create publications or provide services of any kind and (iii) not transfer or assign the Information in any manner whatsoever. The Information may not be used by third parties and we assume no liability towards them, except with our written consent.
The Information may therefore not be copied, cited, transmitted to a third party or made public, in whole or in part, nor used for any other purpose, without the prior consent of GPC Gov, unless disclosure is required by law or by a competent authority (in which case, the client shall be required to inform GPC Gov in advance, unless prohibited by law).
The Information may only be used by the client within their company and solely by the persons mentioned in the Subscription Agreement.
GPC Gov reserves the right to terminate, with immediate effect, the contract(s) entered into with the client in the event of a breach by the latter of the provisions set out in this Article 2 of the GC. In such case, (i) if it concerns a Subscription Agreement, the price paid by the client for the remaining period shall remain acquired by GPC Gov as a lump-sum indemnity and (ii) if it concerns a service agreement other than those included in the Subscription Agreement, the client shall be liable for the payment, by operation of law and without prior notice, of a lump-sum indemnity equal to the total amount of the price agreed between GPC Gov and the client for said services.
3. Duration of the Subscription Agreement and renewal
The Subscription Agreement is entered into for the duration specified in the order form, commencing on the date of the first invoice issued (the "Initial Term").
In the absence of notification by the client or by GPC Gov, by registered post, of its wish not to renew the Subscription Agreement at least 60 calendar days before the expiry thereof, the Agreement shall automatically renew for a period equal to the Initial Term under the same conditions as the initial Subscription Agreement, except as stipulated in Article 4, paragraph 2, of the GC. The same shall apply if such extension or subsequent extensions are not terminated by the client or GPC Gov at least 60 calendar days before the expiry of the extension by registered post. In the event of termination of the Subscription Agreement by the client that does not comply with the conditions referred to in the preceding paragraph, the price paid by the client for the remaining period of the Subscription Agreement shall remain acquired by GPC Gov as an indemnity.
4. Pricing of services provided by GPC Gov
The price of services provided by GPC Gov shall be either (i) in the case of a Subscription Agreement, the price specified in the order form, or (ii) the price agreed between GPC Gov and the client for services other than those included in the Subscription Agreement.
The price of the Subscription Agreement shall be increased at each renewal, without prior notice, by an amount equal to 3% of the price of the Subscription Agreement for the preceding period.
Furthermore, the price agreed between GPC Gov and the client for services other than those included in the Subscription Agreement may be adjusted by us, upon notification to the client, if it appears, during the provision of service(s), that certain circumstances were not known or were not brought to our attention from the outset, or if other circumstances beyond our control arise, such that additional services are required.
Invoices may also include external costs not included in the agreed price and incurred in the course of the services provided.
Any expenses we incur in the course of a matter (for example, travel costs outside Belgium, accommodation costs outside Brussels, any applicable transaction fees (including bank charges), expenses related to the production of external documents, etc.) shall also be included on the invoice.
5. Invoicing and non-payment
The price of the Subscription Agreement shall be invoiced in full, at the beginning of the contract, for the entire Initial Term. In the event of renewal of the Subscription Agreement in accordance with Article 3 of the GC, the price for the renewal period shall be invoiced, for that renewal period, 30 calendar days before the renewal date.
The price of services other than those included in the Subscription Agreement shall be invoiced regularly, as the services entrusted to us are performed, even if the agreed services have not been fully completed. GPC Gov reserves the right to request payment of a retainer before any service is provided and to only commence the provision of services after payment of such retainer.
Unless otherwise stipulated, our invoices are payable within 14 calendar days from the date of the invoice, without any set-off, deduction or suspension whatsoever.
The details of the bank account to which payment must be made are indicated on our invoices or in the contract entered into with the client.
Any dispute regarding an invoice must be notified to us by registered post without delay and in any event within 14 calendar days from the date of the invoice. Beyond this period, the invoice shall be considered irrevocably accepted.
Invoices that remain unpaid within 14 calendar days from their issuance shall automatically, without any notification or formal demand, bear late interest of 12% per annum, as well as a lump-sum penalty of 10% of the unpaid amount with a minimum of 50 euros, without prejudice to the right to claim additional compensation for damages suffered and costs incurred if these prove to be higher.
Furthermore, in the event of non-payment of an invoice (or part thereof) at its due date, we shall have the right, upon written notification, to (i) suspend the Subscription Agreement and/or suspend our provision of services (in the event of services outside the subscription) and/or (ii) terminate the Subscription Agreement and/or any other contract binding us to the defaulting client. In the event of termination of the Subscription Agreement due to non-payment of all or part of an invoice or invoices, the client shall be liable for the payment, by operation of law and without formal demand, of a lump-sum indemnity equal to the full amount of the Subscription Agreement price.
In the event of non-payment of an invoice, all other claims not yet due concerning said client shall become immediately payable by operation of law, without prior formal demand and regardless of any payment terms that may have been granted.
6. GPC Gov's liability
Insofar as the services provided by GPC Gov consist solely of informing clients about public tenders (i.e. GPC Gov provides said information "as is"), GPC Gov is not liable for the content, reliability, relevance, applicability, or timeliness of the information communicated to the client, nor for the content of the information available on its website.
Furthermore, GPC Gov is also not liable for any delay, poor or non-receipt of information sent to the client, in the event that such delay, non-receipt or poor receipt is due to force majeure or any event beyond the control of GPC Gov.
GPC Gov does not offer any guarantees as to the results obtained by the client following the use of the services offered by GPC Gov. GPC Gov does not guarantee the award of public tenders to its clients either.
GPC Gov shall also not be liable for any failure of its website in the event that such failure is due to force majeure or any event beyond the control of GPC Gov.
GPC Gov offers no guarantees in relation to the tools made available, the website, emails, applications, and cannot be held liable for any failure of any kind insofar as such failure results from force majeure or an event beyond the control of GPC Gov.
In particular, the client is solely responsible for the configuration of their email inbox, including their firewalls, antivirus, antispam, and junk mail filters.
7. Personal data
GPC Gov shall process the personal data communicated to it with the utmost care.
GPC Gov processes the personal data of its clients for the purposes of:
(i) the provision of services in accordance with the contract;
(ii) keeping its clients informed of news, relevant information (via newsletter for example), organised seminars, services offered by GPC Gov, etc., unless the clients wish to unsubscribe.
The data transmitted by clients in the context of the Subscription Agreements shall only be communicated, retained and used within the framework of the performance of the contract and its follow-up, and in accordance with applicable legislation.
In addition to the data communicated by clients in the context of the Subscription Agreements, GPC Gov also processes certain personal data concerning you when you contact us.

8. End of relations
In the event of termination of the relationship between GPC Gov and the client in accordance with these GC or the provisions set out in the contract(s) binding us, the client shall remain liable for the payment of services related to the work performed by GPC Gov prior to notification of the end of our relationship, as well as costs and expenses incurred by GPC Gov until the date of cessation of services for the client, notwithstanding the payment of any other indemnity/compensation provided for in the contract(s) binding us and/or in these GC.
9. Applicable law and competent courts
All disputes arising in connection with (i) a service performed by GPC Gov (ii) a contract entered into between GPC Gov and the client or (iii) the legal relationship established with the client or another third party, shall be governed by Belgian law.
