In the event of a request to rectify an invoice, the Company undertakes to issue an amended invoice. However, any amendment due to inaccurate information provided by the Consultant will entail a surcharge of EUR 150,- (one hundred fifty euros) per invoice. Pursuant to the VAT Law, invoices issued to the Client by the Company will expressly refer to the parties to the Invoicing Mandate insofar as they will bear the following mention: “Invoice issued by [Company name] in the name and on behalf of [Consultant’s name/corporate name]”, or any equivalent mention.

The Consultant acknowledges that the updating of any information provided to the Company relating to its legal, accounting and tax situation is essential to performance of the Invoicing Mandate and undertakes in this respect to immediately inform the Company of any change likely to impact its legal, accounting and tax situation (including changes to: registered office, corporate form, VAT status, etc..).

Provided that the Consultant has provided the Company with all necessary and accurate information in due time regarding the Consultant and in respect of the relevant Job to which the invoice relates, the Company undertakes to comply with all applicable legislation on invoicing, and in particular to ensure that the appropriate accounting and tax information (including VAT) is mentioned on the invoices issued. Consultants remain solely responsible for their accounting and tax obligations regarding the issuance of their own invoices.

It is expressly acknowledged that the Company is only an agent of the Consultant, when issuing invoices on his/her/its behalf within the framework of the Invoicing Mandate. Consequently, any liability for tax obligations (including but not limited to VAT declarations and payments) remains with the consultant.

The Invoicing Mandate is one of the Services provided by the Company, the financial consideration for which is included in the Commission payable to the Company under article 5.1.

The Company will provide the Consultant with a copy of all invoices issued under the Invoicing Mandate. The Consultant will promptly dispute any invoices issued by the Company in their name and on their behalf, and no later than three days after the issuance of such invoice.

The Invoicing Mandate will immediately enter into effect as from acceptance (including deemed acceptance) of these Terms and Conditions and remain in effect until the agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever or the Company terminates the Invoicing Mandate.

3.2.5. Provisioning by the Client of the Job Price

Upon each Validation of a Job or Milestone, or if an upfront payment has been agreed upon under the relevant Consulting Agreement., the Client shall transfer the sum agreed upon to the PSP Account put at the User’s disposal by and as is specified by the Company under article 6, allowing the Consultant to start the Job.

By validating the Job or a Milestone, the Client definitively waives any right it may have had to make any claim or take any other form of recourse it might have had against the Company regarding any payment made with this respect. The Company may release the amounts set aside for the Consultant, without any prior formality.

Validation of the Job or of a Milestone by the Client on the Platform results in final payment to the Consultant, after deduction of the commission payable to the Company under article 5.1.

Consultants will start to perform their Job as soon as the relevant Consulting Agreement has been agreed upon. Any Job started before will be at the Consultant’s own risk and peril. The Company shall not be liable to the Consultant for any losses incurred as a result of the Client’s failure to comply with this article 3.2.5.  The Consultant expressly waives any right or remedy it may have against the Company in connection with this article 3.2.5.

The Client shall not request cancellation of any sums paid electronically through the Platform, by way of its financial institution (or otherwise), after the Validation of any Job or Milestone.

The Company may have to withhold any sums due to the Consultant, by reason of a court or bailiff order; the Consultant expressly holds the Company harmless with this respect.
