These general terms and conditions apply to all quotes, workshops, training and freelance assignments of StudioFG. StudioFG works only for businesses, organisations and self-employed professionals, not for consumers. We have written these terms as clearly as we can. If you have a question, feel free to e-mail info@studiofg.nl.
If the Dutch version and this translation differ, the Dutch version prevails.

Article 2 – Definitions
- StudioFG: the business above.
- Client: the company, organisation or self-employed professional who asks for a quote or enters into a contract with StudioFG, in the course of their business or profession.
- Participant: someone who attends a workshop or training, on behalf of the client or as the client.
- Services: workshops, training and courses (on location, in-company or online), and freelance work in computational design and automation, such as design, consultancy, scripts, plug-ins and integrations with Rhino, Grasshopper and Tekla.
Article 3 – Scope
These terms apply to every quote, price indication and contract of StudioFG. The client’s own general terms only apply if StudioFG agrees to them in writing. Arrangements that differ from these terms are made in writing; e-mail counts as writing.
Article 4 – Price indications and quotes
- Prices on the website are indications. The final price is in the quote, which is based on the number of participants, the content, the duration and the location.
- A quote is valid for 30 days, unless it states a different period.
- All prices exclude VAT. The quote states what is included and which costs may be added, such as travel and accommodation or venue hire.
- Obvious mistakes or errors in a price indication or quote do not bind StudioFG.
Article 5 – The contract
The contract is concluded as soon as the client accepts the quote in writing or by e-mail, or as soon as StudioFG confirms a request in writing. Changes to the assignment are agreed together; if they affect the price or the schedule, StudioFG says so in advance.
Article 6 – Scheduling and rescheduling
We schedule dates and times together. Either party may ask to reschedule; we then agree on a new date together. Rescheduling is free of charge.
Article 7 – Cancellation
- The client may cancel a workshop, training or assignment in writing or by e-mail, preferably as early as possible. Anything not yet delivered can be cancelled free of charge. Anything already delivered or done, such as part of a workshop or hours already spent on an assignment, is invoiced proportionally.
- What exactly applies depends mostly on what was agreed for the assignment; arrangements in the quote or order confirmation take precedence.
- A participant who cannot attend may be replaced by a colleague free of charge.
- If a workshop or training cannot go ahead because of illness or force majeure, StudioFG agrees on a new date with the client. If that is not possible, StudioFG refunds any advance payment for the part not delivered. StudioFG is not otherwise liable for damages.
Article 8 – Performance
- StudioFG performs the services carefully and to the best of its ability. This is an obligation of effort: StudioFG does not guarantee a particular result unless this has been expressly agreed.
- For an in-company workshop, the client provides a suitable room with a screen or projector, internet and computers, unless agreed otherwise. Participants have the required software (such as Rhino, Grasshopper or Tekla) with a valid licence or trial version on their own computer, unless agreed otherwise.
- For online workshops, the participant provides a computer with a stable internet connection, camera and microphone.
- For freelance work, the client provides the information, files and access needed, on time. The client tests delivered scripts, plug-ins and automations in its own environment before using them in production. Errors are reported as soon as possible; StudioFG then looks for a solution together with the client.
- StudioFG may, after consultation, engage others to perform the services.
Article 9 – Payment
- StudioFG sends an invoice. Please pay within 14 days of the invoice date, unless the quote states a different term.
- Freelance work on an hourly basis is invoiced monthly or on completion, based on the hours worked, unless a fixed price or other arrangement has been agreed. For longer assignments we may agree payment in instalments.
- If payment is late, StudioFG first sends a reminder. If payment still does not follow, the statutory commercial interest is due and StudioFG may charge extrajudicial collection costs.
Article 10 – Intellectual property
- Course materials, example files, scripts and Grasshopper definitions from StudioFG remain the property of StudioFG. Participants may use them for their own work, but may not resell, publish or use them to give training themselves.
- For freelance work, once paid, the client receives the right to use and adapt the result (such as designs, scripts and plug-ins) for the agreed purpose. Transfer of the rights themselves is agreed in writing.
- Reusable components, such as StudioFG’s own scripts, components, libraries and methods, remain StudioFG’s, also when they were used or improved in an assignment. StudioFG may always use the knowledge and experience gained in an assignment in later projects, without using the client’s confidential information.
- StudioFG may show the work in its portfolio, unless the assignment has been agreed to be confidential.
Article 11 – Confidentiality
Both parties keep the other’s confidential information secret, such as project data, files and business information, also after the contract has ended.
Article 12 – Liability
- StudioFG’s liability is always limited to the amount invoiced for the assignment concerned, and for ongoing assignments to the amount of the last six months. StudioFG is not liable for indirect damage, such as consequential loss, lost profit or lost data. Always back up your own files.
- These limitations do not apply in the event of intent or deliberate recklessness on StudioFG’s part.
Article 13 – Force majeure
If StudioFG cannot keep an agreement because of circumstances beyond its control, such as illness, outages or extreme weather, this is force majeure. We then look for a solution together, such as a new date (see article 7).
Article 14 – Complaints
If you are unhappy about anything, please let us know as soon as possible at info@studiofg.nl, with a clear description. We respond within 14 days. If finding a solution takes longer, we let you know within those 14 days when you can expect a full answer.
Article 15 – Privacy
How StudioFG handles personal data is described in our privacy policy.
Article 16 – Applicable law and disputes
All contracts are governed by Dutch law. We always try to resolve a dispute together first. If that fails, the District Court of The Hague has jurisdiction.
Article 17 – Changes
StudioFG may change these terms. For an ongoing contract, the version that applied when the contract was concluded remains in force.
