  • Deliverables: The outcomes, assets, or materials produced by Tellart as part of the Services.

  • Business Days: Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays in the Netherlands.

  • Change Order: A written document describing changes in scope, budget, or schedule as agreed by both parties.

  • Scope of Work (SOW): The document or proposal describing the agreed services, fees, timelines, and deliverables.

2. Scope of Services

These Terms apply to all projects and Services provided by Tellart. The details of each engagement shall be set out in a specific SOW or quotation issued by Tellart and accepted by the Client.

3. Project Management and Communication

Tellart will assign a project team appropriate to the scope and complexity of the work. The Client will be provided with key contact details at project commencement.
Tellart will notify the Client of any event that may materially affect the delivery or schedule of the project. Time is of the essence in fulfilling project milestones. Tellart assumes the Client shall designate a single, authorised representative who will serve as the primary point of contact for the duration of the project. This representative shall be responsible for coordinating and managing input from all Client stakeholders, consolidating feedback, and providing clear and timely direction to Tellart as needed. Tellart shall not be responsible for delays or inconsistencies arising from internal Client coordination or conflicting stakeholder input.

4. Changes to Scope

Requests from the Client that alter or add to the scope of work will be assessed by Tellart for any required changes to schedule, cost, or resources.
No additional work will be undertaken until both parties have approved and signed a Change Order.

5. Termination

Either party may terminate an active project for cause with five (5) Business Days’ written notice if the other party materially breaches its obligations and fails to cure the breach within that period.
The Client may also terminate for convenience with ten (10) Business Days’ notice; in this case, all completed or in-progress work up to the termination date shall be invoiced, along with a termination fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the remaining project fees.

6. Subcontractors

Tellart may engage subcontractors and vendors as it deems appropriate, ensuring proper oversight and quality control.

7. Fees, Invoicing, and Payment

  • Fees are quoted and payable in Euros, exclusive of taxes, unless otherwise stated.

  • Project expenses and materials will be billed separately in accordance with the SOW.

  • Where a quoted amount includes a materials budget, Tellart shall not be obligated to exceed that budget.

  • A Mobilization Fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total estimated project fees shall be invoiced upon acceptance of the proposal and is payable prior to the commencement of any work. This fee secures project scheduling and covers initial planning, resourcing, and administrative costs.

8. Currency Fluctuation

For projects invoiced in currencies other than Euro, Tellart reserves the right to adjust amounts where exchange rates fluctuate more than ±5% from the reference rate on the proposal date.

9. Client Feedback and Revisions

  • Upon full payment, the Client will own the graphical elements of the Deliverables as “works for hire.”

Unless otherwise agreed or under embargo, Tellart may document and publish images or videos of the work for its portfolio and communications.

15. Validity of Quotations

Fees and assumptions stated in proposals or SOWs are valid for 30 days  from the date of issue. If a project has not commenced within this period, Tellart may review and adjust pricing, schedule, and commercial terms.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any related agreement are governed by Dutch law. The competent courts of the Netherlands shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes.
