Remuneration for the Project

Mission bases its fees on a budget-price principle. The Client shall previously approve all projects prior to commencement. If desired, the Consultancy can arrange for invoicing on the basis of actual hours worked. Then the remuneration is calculated at the applicable rates according to current terms and conditions of Mission. Expenses incurred in connection with travel and other costs on behalf of the client, shall be invoiced in accordance with an enclosure. Direct outlays are invoiced in accordance with the offer. Compensation for the use of studio materials etc. is calculated by Mission at 3% of the fee. Mission invoices the client 35% of the agreed estimates at start-up, then the invoicing follows the progress of the project. The invoice is due for 15 days, unless otherwise agreed. Interests will be charged on late payments at the highest rate permissible by law, currently 8,75% p.a. If purchases are made in any other currency than NOK, the Client shall pay any losses incurred in currency exchanges.

Organisation of the Project

Each party shall appoint a person responsible for each Project. Project Leaders shall have the authority to make decisions on any matters that may arise in connection with the implementation of or after the completion of the project. The minutes shall be sent to all participants. If no written comments to the minutes are forthcoming within the given deadline, the content therefore should be considered approved by both Parties.

 The Client does not take over any rights to the Project until the date of delivery. The Client has, when the Project has been delivered and the Remuneration to Mission has been paid in full, rights of beneficial use to the Project in accordance with that which has been agreed in writing. The Client has the right to have changes made in the Project, providing that such changes are legal and do not infringe the rights of third parties. Such changes must be previously accepted by Mission and/or any sub-supplier.

In case of serious delays and if the agreed date of delivery is not adhered to, that causes the Client loss, the Client has the right to cancel the Project.
