- The rules for indexation of rates set out in § 8 of the Terms and Conditions apply to the monthly fee for the Hourly Subscription, unless the Offer provides otherwise.

- After the end of the Hourly Subscription, Solvti does not grant the Client new monthly allocations of hours. Unused and unexpired hours remain valid until the end of their 12-month validity period and may be used on the existing terms, without the Client being obliged to pay additional remuneration for their mere use.
- The end of the Hourly Subscription does not entitle the Client to request a cash refund for unused hours.
§ 7. Hourly Settlement and monthly work
- In the Hourly Settlement model, Solvti settles the Services according to the time actually worked and the rates indicated in the Offer, order, price list or other arrangement of the parties.
- Unless the Offer provides otherwise, Hourly Settlement is made monthly, on the basis of a time report for the given month.

- The Client may submit objections to the time report within 5 Business Days of receiving it. Failure to submit objections within this period constitutes acceptance of the report.
- Objections to part of the time report do not entitle the Client to withhold payment of the undisputed part of the remuneration.
- If the Client requires working time to be registered in the Client’s system, the Client should provide Solvti with access to that system, instructions for its use and the possibility to verify data. Lack of such access does not release the Client from the obligation to pay remuneration for the working time actually performed by Solvti.
- If the Client orders a specified level of availability or engagement of the Solvti Team in a given month, remuneration may be due for the reserved availability, regardless of the actual number of tasks assigned to Solvti, if this follows from the Offer.
.
§ 8. Remuneration, payments and indexation of rates
- Solvti’s remuneration is specified in the Offer or another arrangement between the parties.

- In the case of payments made through payment operators or payment platforms, the available methods may include in particular payment card, bank transfer, Przelewy24, BLIK, Apple Pay or other methods made available by the payment operator. The availability of payment methods may depend on technical settings, country, currency, type of transaction and the rules of the relevant payment operator.
- The Client acknowledges that in the case of an invoice issued through the National e-Invoicing System, the invoice is deemed received by the Client on the date on which the invoice is assigned an identifying number in the National e-Invoicing System, unless mandatory provisions of law provide otherwise.
- If it is not possible to issue, send or make an invoice available through the National e-Invoicing System, in particular for technical reasons, failure, unavailability of the system, exclusion of a given type of invoice from the KSeF obligation or application of transitional provisions, Solvti may issue or deliver the invoice in another legally permissible manner, in particular electronically to the e-mail address indicated by the Client.
- The Client is obliged to provide Solvti with correct, complete and up-to-date data necessary to issue an invoice, in particular the name or business name, address, NIP, EU VAT number or another appropriate tax identification number. Solvti is not liable for the consequences of the Client providing incorrect, incomplete or outdated invoice data.
- Late payment entitles Solvti to charge statutory interest for delay in commercial transactions and compensation for debt recovery costs, if this follows from the law.
- In the event of payment delay, Solvti may suspend the provision of the Services, suspend access to Work Results, refuse to commence further work or make further cooperation conditional on payment of arrears, prepayment or establishment of additional security.
- Suspension of the provision of the Services due to non-payment does not constitute non-performance or improper performance of the Agreement by Solvti and does not release the Client from the obligation to pay remuneration due for performed work, reserved availability, an Hour Package or an Hourly Subscription.
- Solvti is entitled to index rates, as a rule, once in each calendar year.
- Irrespective of the date of acceptance of the Offer or conclusion of the Agreement, standard rate indexation is carried out in November, with at least one month’s notice, so that the new rates may apply from 1 January of the following year.

- The time of Travel to the Client is determined as the shorter of the following times:
a. travel time calculated from Solvti’s registered office in Wroclaw to the Client’s registered office or another place indicated by the Client;
b. travel time calculated from the place from which the member of the Solvti Team actually departs to the Client’s registered office or another place indicated by the Client.
- The time of Travel to the Client reduces the Hour Package or Hourly Subscription or is settled under Hourly Settlement, depending on the cooperation model adopted by the parties.
- If more than one member of the Solvti Team travels to a Client visit, the Travel to the Client time of each of them is calculated and settled separately.
- The return time of a member of the Solvti Team from the Client is not recorded or settled to the Client and is borne by Solvti, unless the Offer expressly provides otherwise.
- In the lump-sum or fixed-price remuneration model, the time of Travel to the Client is settled additionally according to the hourly rates indicated in the Offer, and if the Offer does not indicate such rates, according to Solvti’s standard rates applicable at the time of the travel, unless the Offer provides otherwise.
- If accommodation for a member of the Solvti Team is necessary in connection with the provision of the Services outside Solvti’s standard place of work, the cost of accommodation is covered by the Client on the terms set out in this paragraph.
- The Client may independently book and pay for a hotel for a member of the Solvti Team if the Client expressly informs Solvti that it prefers this method of arranging accommodation.
- If the Client does not expressly indicate that it books and pays for the hotel independently, Solvti books the hotel and re-invoices the accommodation cost to the Client, adding an administrative fee of 5% of the net accommodation value.
- The administrative fee referred to in sec. 12 is shown as a separate item on the re-invoice or another appropriate accounting document.

- Lack of cooperation by the Client, delay in providing information, lack of access, lack of decisions, lack of approvals, changes of assumptions, incorrect data or incomplete documentation may affect the schedule, cost, scope and possibility of performing the Services.
- In the event of lack of cooperation by the Client, Solvti may suspend the provision of the Services after first calling on the Client to remove the obstacle, unless the nature of the obstacle justifies immediate suspension.
- The deadlines for performing the Services are extended accordingly by the duration of the obstacle and the time needed by Solvti to reorganize the work.
- If Solvti remains ready to provide the Services and the provision of the Services is impossible or hindered for reasons attributable to the Client, Solvti may charge remuneration for readiness if this follows from the Offer, the nature of the cooperation or the parties’ arrangements. Unless the parties have agreed otherwise, one day of readiness corresponds to 7.5 hours of work.
- The Client is obliged to make backup copies of data, configuration, code, databases and environments before Solvti starts work, unless making a backup copy has been expressly ordered from Solvti as a separate Service.

- If the parties have agreed on acceptance of Work Results, the Client should submit objections within 5 Business Days from the date on which the Work Results are submitted for acceptance, unless the Offer indicates another deadline.

- The Client’s objections should be specific, justified and indicate the extent to which the Work Results are inconsistent with the Offer or the agreed specification.
- Objections concerning elements not indicated in the Offer, changes of scope, new requirements, a different business concept or Client preferences may be treated as a change in the scope of work and be subject to additional valuation.
- Use of the Work Results by the Client in a production environment, making them available to end users or further developing them by the Client constitutes acceptance of the Work Results, unless the parties have agreed otherwise.

- As a rule, the Services are provided on Business Days during Solvti’s working hours, unless the Offer provides otherwise.

Payment of the contractual penalty does not exclude Solvti’s right to claim damages exceeding the amount of the contractual penalty.
