The Contract formed between MintHR and the Customer is composed of the following documents:

  1. The Subscription Agreement and its possible annexes and amendments
  2. The present general sales conditions.

In case of contradiction between one or more conditions of the contractual documents composing the Contract, the Parties will consider the stipulations of the Subscription Contract and its possible annexes and amendments first.

The Parties agree that no handwritten annotation added by the Customer will have any value unless expressly accepted by MintHR and stipulated in an appendix to the Agreement.

The Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement of the Parties.

The execution of the Agreement implies that the Customer has accepted without reservation the present general conditions.

 

  • Acceptance and evolution of these general conditions

By signing, the Customer declares that he has read the entire Agreement and duly accepted all its terms and conditions without reservation.

The Parties acknowledge that the acceptance of the Agreement by electronic means has the same value between the Parties as an agreement on paper.

MintHR reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions unilaterally. These modifications will be opposable to the Customer after having been published by any means.

Any modification of the present terms and conditions will be communicated to the Customer by electronic or postal means within thirty (30) calendar days before they take effect.

In case of termination of the Agreement, whatever the cause, all sums due by the Customer to MintHR at the effective date of the ending will have to be paid.
