The general terms governing Funding Surfer consultancy, funding research, application and project-support services. These Terms govern consultancy and related services provided under the Funding Surfer name. Individual offers, statements of work or contracts may contain additional or different provisions.

Legal entity: SRL Funding Surfer

These Terms apply to services provided by Funding Surfer and to related offers, orders, invoices and agreements, unless a written agreement expressly provides otherwise. A person or organisation requesting or purchasing services is referred to as the “Client”.
Services may include funding strategy, opportunity research, project development, grant-application support, consortium building, stakeholder outreach, studies, training and project-management support.
The precise scope, deliverables, timetable, responsibilities and price will be specified in an offer, statement of work or other written agreement.
The Client must provide timely, complete and accurate information, cooperate reasonably, review deliverables and decisions, and ensure that documents submitted to funding authorities are authorised and accurate.
Funding Surfer may rely on information provided by the Client and is not responsible for delays or deficiencies caused by incomplete, inaccurate or late information.
Fees, taxes, payment dates and any reimbursable expenses will be stated in the relevant offer or invoice. Work may begin after written acceptance and, where specified, receipt of an advance payment.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees remain payable for work performed even where the Client later decides not to continue with a funding opportunity or application.
Information identified as confidential, or which should reasonably be understood as confidential, will be handled with appropriate discretion and used for the agreed assignment.
Information may be shared with employees, subcontractors, experts or project partners who need it to perform the service and who are subject to suitable confidentiality obligations. Confidentiality does not apply to information already public, independently developed, lawfully received from another source or required to be disclosed by law.
Funding Surfer may engage selected experts, consultants or subcontractors where appropriate. Funding Surfer will use reasonable care when selecting them, but the engagement and responsibility structure may be further defined in the relevant offer or agreement.
Funding opportunities, programme rules, budgets, deadlines and interpretations may change. Advice and reports are based on information available at the time and on the information provided by the Client.
Funding Surfer does not guarantee the availability of a programme, the eligibility of a project, a positive evaluation, a grant award or the execution of a grant agreement. Final decisions are made by the relevant authorities and evaluators.
Funding Surfer provides an obligation of means, not an obligation to achieve a particular funding result. To the extent permitted by applicable law, liability is limited to direct, proven loss caused by serious contractual fault and will not include indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity or consequential damage.
Any monetary cap or exclusion should be aligned with the final legal entity, insurance arrangements and client contract before publication.
Pre-existing templates, methodologies, tools and know-how remain the property of their respective owner. Unless otherwise agreed, the Client may use paid deliverables internally and for the relevant funding or project purpose.
Third-party materials remain subject to their own licences and rights.
Personal data is processed in accordance with the Funding Surfer Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Either party may terminate an assignment in accordance with the relevant offer or contract. Funding Surfer may suspend work for overdue payment, lack of cooperation, unlawful instructions or a material breach. Fees and expenses incurred up to termination remain payable.
If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. The parties should replace the invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely reflects its intended purpose.
Unless mandatory law or a written agreement provides otherwise, these Terms are governed by Belgian law and disputes are submitted to the competent courts of Brussels.
The current version of these Terms will be published on the website. Material changes apply prospectively unless otherwise agreed in writing.
