User registration via web form(s) published on the varstrategies.com site or placing an order or closing a subscription or contract (all four hereafter referenced as ‘’agreement’) implies a formal acceptance of the current terms and conditions, to the exclusion of the application of those of the client. Any derogation from these terms must be agreed to in writing and signed by both parties.

This agreement may be concluded by and via the use of the publicly accessible website and visitors declare to have taken note and accept these terms and conditions, which therefore also apply to users who are no (paying) clients (yet). These terms and conditions are therefore applicable to any information consultation, order, subscription and agreement. If these terms are changed, the amended version is effective as of the date of publication at https://varstrategies.com/terms and this for any current or future agreement. The user or client guarantees the accuracy and completeness of the provided business and personal data and also guarantees to legally and duly represent their corporation. If the provided business and personal information change at any time during the agreement, then the user or client agrees to notify VAR Strategies via email to info@varstrategies.com of these change(s) or to correct the changed information themselves on the corresponding profile page on the varstrategies.com website. If an agreement was concluded by electronic means then all media will be accepted as written evidence on paper (web form, email, fax, electronic scan of signed document, etc..).

Article 2

VAR Strategies invoices are due 30 days following the invoice date, unless otherwise specified on the invoice. If payment is not received by the due date the amount due will automatically be increased with late payment interest of 1% per month. Moreover, the amount due will also be increased with 15% with a minimum of € 50,00. If the client requests that VAR Strategies invoices are addressed to a third party, the client will guarantee payment. The waiver for one-time “setup” costs (eg in the context of a promotion) is always tied to the timely payment of the due dates in the corresponding subscription plan. If payment is not received within 30 days after the due date, the amount due will automatically be increased with the related “setup” costs, according to the pricing table published on https://varstrategies.com/pricing. A client who wishes to pay the pro forma invoice exempt of VAT, on account of the exoneration in accordance with Article 138 §1 of the directive 2006/112/CE must fulfill the following conditions:

All agreements shall be tacitly renewed for the same duration and should be terminated by registered letter addressed to VAR Strategies BVBA, Blauwe vogellaan 13, 1150 Brussels, Belgium at least 30 days prior to the monthly or annual renewal date. If the client mandated VAR Strategies to collect payment of its invoice through “SEPA Direct Debit” or “recurring credit card payment” then VAR Strategies will be notified by the client about any changes in account numbers or credit card numbers and expiry dates during the term of the agreement.
