Edge from Flywheel General Terms of Business

Our General Terms of Business‍

‍These General Terms of Business (“Terms”) provide the terms and conditions which will apply to everything we supply to you.

Process for entering into Contracts
1. When the parties agree terms for us to provide Services and/or Deliverables to you, we will capture those terms in writing (an “Order Form”).
2. Whichever is earlier of you signing an Order Form, completing an online registration form and clicking “accept” or similar assent where applicable, is your offer to purchase the Services and/or Deliverables from us on these Terms (an “Offer”). Our signing of an Order Form, sending of a confirmation email or supplying Services and/or Deliverables, (which includes any necessary preparatory work), to you in accordance with the Order Form is acceptance of your Offer (“Acceptance”) and creates a binding contract consisting of the Order Form, these Terms and any relevant Module Terms (a “Contract”).
3. No other terms and conditions, (including, without limitation, your own terms, the pre‐printed terms on the back of any PO, or those implied), will apply to a Contract unless we have agreed in writing.
Term and Termination
1. A Contract starts on the Start Date specified in the Order Form (the “Start Date”) and will continue until the earlier of:
  1. the specific end date included in the Order Form (if any);
  2. termination by notice in accordance with any specific provisions of the Order Form (if any); or
  3. termination in accordance with these Terms.
2. Neither party is entitled to terminate, delay, suspend or vary a Contract other than in accordance with these Terms.
3. A party may immediately terminate a Contract by giving the other party written notice if the other party materially or repeatedly breaches the terms of that Contract, and, (where the breach(es) are capable of remedy), fails to remedy such breach(es) within 30 days of receiving written notice requesting remedy of the breach(es).
4. A party may immediately terminate a Contract if the other party is subject to an Insolvency Event.
Our warranties

3. You are not entitled to set‐off any amount we owe you against any amount you owe us.

In certain jurisdictions, we may be required to collect and remit sales tax in connection with your purchase of Services and Deliverables. Any such taxes will be added to the fees and reflected on your invoice.
9. Following the first anniversary of the Start Date, but not more than once in each year of a Contract, we may automatically increase any fees by an amount not exceeding the lower of (i) the percentage increase in the Applicable Price Index in the preceding year plus 5% and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law.
