By signing the contract with the Clients, or if no written contract has been concluded, fulfilling the obligations (payment), accepting the delivery, the Client accepts the conditions of use of services and delivered products by Barrage, which are determined by these General Terms.

1. Barrage determines the price of its work according to the time spent, the type and complexity of services performed, and the price of materials used. When concluding the contract, the contracting parties may agree on a price that will be valid only for an individual order, and if there is no such special agreement, the prices will be determined according to Barrage’s valid standard price list.
2. All prices, unless otherwise stated, are expressed in net amount in HRK and without VAT, i.e. other public duties, and are calculated in HRK equivalent at the middle exchange rate of the Croatian National Bank on the day of issuing the invoice.
3. The prices for the services stated in the offers are binding on Barrage within the period stated in the offer, and if such a period is not specified, then they are binding within 15 days from the issuance of the offer. In case of changes in the price for work, materials, or other dependent costs and benefits, Barrage has the right to change its standard price list and will notify the Client at least 30 days before the application of the new price list.
4. Services provided by Barrage at the Client's request, which exceed the originally agreed scope of services, will be calculated based on the standard price list of services applicable at the time of execution of the later ordered service or at a specially agreed price with each Client.
5. Services are provided within Barrage’s normal business hours (Mon-Fri, 09:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m.).

6. Travel, daily allowance and overnight expenses related to the provision of Barrage’s services to the Client will be charged separately. The exact arrangement will be defined in the contract with the Client, and in principle the usual rules apply in accordance with international business practice and the rules prescribed by the regulations of the Republic of Croatia as the seat of Barrage. The time spent on the way to the place of performance of services will be calculated according to the half price in accordance with the valid standard price list.

1. Barrage will make every effort to make all deliveries within the agreed deadlines for the execution of services/delivery of goods.
2. As a goal, the set deadlines can be met only if the Client completes all the necessary work, submits the documentation, confirms the obtained functional specifications and fully fulfils their obligation to cooperate. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the delivery period cannot begin to run before the payment has been made by the Client.
3. Barrage is not responsible for delays in delivery and price increases that occur due to incorrect, incomplete or subsequently changed data and information, orders and/or requests, as well as documentation submitted by the Client. Additional costs that would occur due to the above circumstances will be borne entirely by the Client.
5. If the agreed delivery time is exceeded only due to Barrage's fault, the Client has the right to withdraw from the order within a reasonable time, but with at least a 14-day extension, with a registered letter if the agreed service is not performed within its extended period. Derogation from already performed partial deliveries and services is excluded.
6. If delivery or service becomes impossible due to circumstances that could not have been foreseen at the time of concluding the contract, Barrage has the right to withdraw from the contract, with prior notice to the Client within 5 working days of such circumstance.

1. Barrage will calculate the fee for services rendered in accordance with the offer or contract concluded between the contracting parties. If Barrage provides continuous software maintenance services, it will issue an invoice for the services once a month, unless otherwise agreed in a special contract.
2. If Barrage provides continuous hardware maintenance services (and software that manages or monitors the operation of such hardware), the service invoice will be issued as an advance payment invoice at the beginning of the month prior to the start of the maintenance service for that month.
3. Unless otherwise agreed, the Client is obliged to pay invoices issued by Barrage, including value added tax, but without any deduction or reduction of costs, no later than fourteen (14) days from receipt of the invoice.
4. Adherence to the agreed payment deadlines is an important condition (essential constituent) for the implementation of the delivery by Barrage, i.e. the execution of the contract. Due to non-compliance with the agreed deadlines and method of payment, Barrage is authorized to stop the current works and withdraw from the contract until the payment of funds has been made; or finally withdraw from the contract within five (5) days after the written warning to the Client. In these cases, the Client will bear all costs associated with such derogation, but also the lost profit that Barrage would have made if the contract had been performed in full.
5. If the Client is late with the payment, contractual default interest in the amount of legal default interest shall be charged.
6. If the Client does not comply with the terms of payment or Barrage is aware of circumstances that result in (or will be) a serious threat to the Client's ability to pay, Barrage may demand payment in advance for outstanding deliveries and is not obliged to make further deliveries.
7. Payments are made only by direct payment to business accounts owned by Barrage and displayed on the issued financial acts (invoices, pro forma invoices, calls for payments, offers, etc.). If there are more than one outstanding receivables from the Client, the Client's payments settle the oldest receivable each time. Eventual costs are always settled first, then interest and finally the main receivable.
8. The Client may compensate the liabilities to Barrage only with due receivables from Barrage for which Barrage issues a written consent.

1. Barrage will rectify, free of charge, defects in its domain that occur within the warranty period of six (6) months from the start of use of the product.
2. Liability applies only to repetitive errors that are important to the proper operation of the product and that are reported in writing within three (3) days after they occur. In the event of a justified request, the defects will be remedied within a reasonable time, whereby the Client will enable Barrage to implement all measures necessary to identify and eliminate the defects.
3. If the Client erroneously and without proper factual substrate and documentation claims that there are defects or errors and if it causes additional costs to Barrage, those costs will be calculated separately and as such shown in a special invoice that Barrage will issue to the Client in analysing such alleged defects or errors.
4. Barrage will provide consulting, assistance, elimination of errors and malfunctions for which the Client is responsible, as well as other changes and additions for an appropriate fee. This also applies to the elimination of errors if the Client himself or a third party has made changes to the program, items on which services, additions or other interventions have been performed. In the event of such interventions performed by the Client himself or a third party, Barrage's further liability for the operation of the product is completely excluded.
5. If the subject of the order is a change or amendment of already existing products, services or objects on which the services were performed, the responsibility then refers exclusively to the change or amendment. In such cases, the liability for the basic product, service or object on which the services were performed, which are the subject of changes or additions, cannot be constituted in any case.
6. The Client must take care at his own risk to provide the product and data related to the product that is subject to change or amendment.
7. The existence of defects does not release the Client from his obligation to pay for the services rendered/goods sold.
9. Barrage warrants that the supplied hardware and software do not contain any data copying equipment, programmed code lock and other restrictions on use, and that they are free of third party rights.
10. As a rule, the delivery will always contain documentation on the delivered products in the Croatian language, and when it is appropriate to the individual situation, the documentation will be prepared in English as commonly used in international business practice.

1. As part of the legal regulations, Barrage will be liable for damages if the Client proves that Barrage caused the damage intentionally or due to gross negligence. Barrage is not exclusively liable for direct damage up to the amount paid by the Client to Barrage for the delivered services/products.
2. Barrage shall in no case be liable for the loss of data if the Client has not taken care of the appropriate data security and backup, and has not requested otherwise from Barrage in the service specification.
3. The Client is obliged to notify Barrage of any claims for damages within one month from the day of finding out about the damages, otherwise the Client loses the right to demand them. Claims for damages, which the Client did not notify Barrage within one month from the day they became known to the Client, are considered obsolete.
4. The provisions on liability claims do not apply if their application is excluded by the contract.
5. If the service is performed according to the explicit instructions of the Client, the Client is solely responsible for the violation of the protected rights of the third party and is obliged to compensate Barrage if it is called upon to pay for certain damage.
6. Barrage is not responsible for the adequacy of a particular service/product in terms of their adequacy to the intentions and business purposes for which the Client procures them. Business outcomes are uncertain and Barrage assumes no responsibility for the Client's business ventures.

1. The developed application or software solution and the entire programming process, documentation related to the same, source code and all its modifications, and all other procedures performed by Barrage when performing services for the Client, including graphic and web design, are the copyright works of Barrage, exclusive property of Barrage and it claims all the rights it has as an author, in accordance with the provisions of the Croatian Law on Copyright and Related Rights (Zakon o autorskom pravu i srodnim pravima) or EU regulations on copyright and other related rights.
2. Certain data and materials such as appropriate texts, databases, photographs, animations, logos, trademarks, the brand and other contents of the website that are not the product of Barrage's engagement belong to the Client if the owner of the above.

6. The Client has no right to use the documents made available by Barrage (e.g. drawings, project substrates) as well as the software for purposes other than those stipulated in the contract.
7. In the event that the product or service, which is the subject of delivery, is protected by some form of intellectual property rights, Barrage is obliged to provide the Client with the level of intellectual property rights necessary for the use of the product or service by the Client.
8. Intellectual property rights may be regulated differently by a separate contract for an appropriate fee.

1. The contract concluded between Barrage and the Client may end before the expiration of the time for which it was concluded, due to termination, for the following reasons:

   3. if the Client does not fulfil any of the obligations from the contract,
   4. if the Client violates the obligation to keep data from these General Terms and Conditions,

   7. if one of the contracting parties becomes insolvent and a pre-bankruptcy settlement procedure, bankruptcy procedure or liquidation procedure is initiated against it;
2. Barrage has the right to unilaterally terminate the contractual relationship if the Client violates his obligations, the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions or Brrage’s Special Conditions of Sale, and does not eliminate these violations within a reasonable time.
3. If the termination of the contract is the fault of the Client, Barrage is entitled to compensation under the general rules of contract law.

The contracting parties may terminate the contract only in writing.
6. In case of initiating bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings against one contracting party, the bankruptcy trustee or liquidator is obliged to notify the other contracting party of initiating bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings, in writing, within 30 (thirty) days from the date of initiating these proceedings. In that case, the contract shall be deemed terminated on the day of initiating bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings, and the contracting party against which one of these proceedings has been initiated shall reimburse all claims to the other contracting party.
7. Both parties are obliged not to transfer, delegate or give over the contract, in part or in full, to a third party without the prior written consent of the other party.
