General terms
1. Application and validity
Any service, including development, consultancy, research, programming, design, implementation, etc. is delivered regardless of whether the supplier (hereinafter referred to as “Webnorth”) acts as the main or sub-supplier according to these “General Terms”. The Customer’s indication of special or general terms in the tender material, order, acceptance, terms of purchase, etc. is not considered a deviation from these terms unless Webnorth has accepted the deviations in writing.
2. Services
Webnorth must deliver the service for which a separate agreement on a project has been specified (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”). Webnorth is entitled to have its obligations under the Agreement performed by subcontractors.
If one of the solutions proposed by Webnorth includes software or other things to which Webnorth does not have rights. It is the Customer’s responsibility to enter a separate agreement with the third party in this regard.
The Services shall be deemed delivered upon their transfer to and acceptance by the Customer. Webnorth bears the responsibility for the service until the transfer date, at which point responsibility passes to the Customer.
All time plans provided by Webnorth are to be considered approximate and non-binding, unless otherwise specified in the Agreement. Any delay on deliverance by the Customer or 3rd party may affect the time plan and ultimately final deadline.
2.1 Process
Acceptance of delivery:
Once the handover of the specified service has been held, the Customer has 14 days to make changes and corrections to the project, as well as to accept the project. If the Customer does not take any action within the 14 days, the delivery is automatically accepted. Changes and corrections must be submitted to Webnorth in one complete and adequate list. Once the corrections are made, the project is automatically accepted by the Customer.
The Customer’s digital solution can be on standby on our staging server for up to 30 days. The service and hosting agreement must then be started and invoiced. If the Customer does not have a service and hosting agreement, the Customer’s digital solution will be transferred to another server paid for by the Customer after no more than 30 days. The transfer will be invoiced per hour. The hourly rate is DKK 750 excl. VAT.
The Customer has a 3-month full warranty on the digital solution. If the Customer chooses a service and hosting agreement at Webnorth the digital solution is secured with a warranty. The full warranty depends on each agreement and will be outlined in the agreement.
Publication:
Webnorth cannot be held responsible for any 3rd party delay in the publication phase, including Apple, Google, the Customer’s existing hosting or other 3rd parties needed for the delivery. The Customer is aware that, among other things, 3rd parties can delay publication to a large extent, and if the project is rejected by the third party, it is the Customer’s responsibility to secure an extra budget for changes at Webnorth.
Webnorth cannot be held responsible for the lack of compatibility with the Customer’s hosting provider if this is a third party. It is the Customer’s responsibility that the server they or their 3rd party supplier meets the minimum requirements that our digital solution must have. It is always recommended to have a service and hosting agreement with Webnorth, which guarantees reliable hosting that is compatible with the customer’s digital solution.
2.2 Services not included; texts, images and other content
Insertion of texts, images and general content is not part of the delivery unless it’s specified under the project’s specification.

Services:
Each service includes an accepted budget and specification. When a specific task starts and Webnorth can see that the estimated task is not doable within the estimated hours, Webnorth can re-estimate the task and present this to the client.

- Accept the new estimation.
- Reject the new estimation (The task will be removed from the budget).
- Research after an alternative solution (This investigation is out of scope and is an add-on to the project).
Vouchers:
The Customer must pay the voucher before we can start a task. Webnorth is obliged to provide the Customer with an estimate for all tasks that take more than five hours.
