Refund Protocol

Last updated: January 2026

1. General Refund Principles

SlateVectorWorks provides professional digital engineering services. Given the bespoke nature of our work, refunds are evaluated on a case-by-case basis aligned with project milestones, delivered deliverables, and the terms specified in each individual service agreement.

2. Pre-Engagement Cancellation

If you wish to cancel a service engagement before any work has commenced, you are entitled to a full refund of any advance payments made within 14 calendar days of payment, in accordance with EU consumer protection regulations. Cancellation must be communicated in writing to [email protected].

3. In-Progress Engagements

For engagements that have commenced, refunds are calculated based on the following framework:

  • Phase 1 (Discovery): Upon completion of Phase 1 deliverables, 30% of the total engagement value is non-refundable as this phase involves resource allocation, analysis, and documentation generation.
  • Phase 2 (Engineering): Upon commencement of Phase 2, an additional 40% of the total engagement value becomes non-refundable due to active engineering resource deployment.
  • Phase 3 (Deployment): Upon commencement of Phase 3, the remaining 30% becomes non-refundable as deployment, testing, and documentation finalization are execution-bound activities.

4. Quality Disputes

If delivered work materially deviates from the agreed specifications documented in the service agreement, you may submit a formal quality dispute within 14 days of delivery. We will conduct an independent technical review and, where warranted, either remediate the identified discrepancies at no additional cost or issue a proportionate refund.

5. Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed within 10 business days to the original payment method. Refund amounts are denominated in Euros (€) and any applicable currency conversion fees are borne by the refund recipient.

6. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from refund requests shall first be addressed through direct negotiation. Where resolution cannot be reached, disputes shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the Copenhagen City Court (Københavns Byret) in accordance with Danish law.

Terms of Engagement

Last updated: January 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing this website, submitting an inquiry, or engaging SlateVectorWorks for professional services, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms of Engagement. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not access or use our services.

2. Scope of Services

SlateVectorWorks provides premium web engineering, digital infrastructure, and enterprise platform development services as described on this website and in individual service agreements. The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for each engagement are defined in the corresponding service agreement executed between the parties.

3. Service Agreements

Each engagement is governed by a separate service agreement that supersedes these general terms in the event of conflict. Service agreements define project-specific specifications, milestone structures, acceptance criteria, and payment schedules.

4. Payment Terms

  • All prices are quoted in Euros (€) exclusive of applicable VAT.
  • Invoices are issued upon milestone completion as specified in the service agreement.
  • Payment is due within 14 calendar days of invoice date unless otherwise specified.
  • Late payments accrue interest at the statutory rate under Danish Renteloven (Interest Act).
  • We reserve the right to suspend work on any engagement where payment is overdue by more than 14 days.

5. Intellectual Property

Upon full payment of all invoiced amounts, ownership of all deliverables produced specifically for your engagement transfers to you. SlateVectorWorks retains ownership of pre-existing tools, frameworks, methodologies, and general-purpose code libraries used in the production of deliverables, and grants you a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use such components within the context of the delivered work.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all proprietary information exchanged during the course of an engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the engagement for a period of 3 years.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SlateVectorWorks's total aggregate liability under any service agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid under that agreement. We shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities.

8. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, pandemic conditions, infrastructure failures, or cyberattacks.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate a service agreement with 30 days' written notice. Upon termination, you shall pay for all work completed and accepted up to the termination date. Confidentiality and intellectual property provisions survive termination.

10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These terms and any service agreement are governed by the laws of Denmark. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Copenhagen City Court (Københavns Byret).

11. Amendments

We reserve the right to amend these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through this website or directly via email to active clients. Continued use of our services following notification constitutes acceptance of amended terms.
