Application Plan Order

Contract package 2026.5 — 24 September 2026 — FINAL, adopted for use (client decision of 24 September 2026). The Dutch version is leading.

This is the order under which Eucade prepares an Application Plan, concluded through the online checkout. The Dutch text is leading and is available at eucade.eu/application-plan-order-nl; this English version is provided for information. This Order is read together with the General Terms.

This Application Plan Order (the “Order”) is concluded between Eucade, a sole proprietorship (eenmanszaak) under the laws of the Netherlands, established in Rotterdam, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 98799037, VAT identification number NL005355058B68, represented by Gerben Bijmholt (“Eucade”), and the business party that places the order through the online checkout on eucade.eu, as identified by the company details entered at checkout (“Client”). The full business address is recorded in the Dutch Trade Register and is provided on request via [email protected]. Terms defined in the General Terms of Eucade (the “General Terms”) have the same meaning in this Order.

1. Service

1.1 Eucade prepares an Application Plan for the Target Call stated at checkout. The Application Plan comprises: a structured outline of the application against each evaluation criterion of the Target Call; a budget frame; a list of the documents still missing and of the points of eligibility to be verified; and Eucade’s written assessment of whether to proceed with an application.

1.2 For a joint transnational call (such as Eurostars), the Application Plan also covers an outline of the consortium — the roles and contributions of the partners — and the national funding rules of the countries the consortium spans, to the extent these have been published by the funding bodies concerned.

1.3 The Application Plan is an assessment made with due professional care on a best-efforts basis. It is not a warranty of eligibility, admissibility or award (clause 4.1 of the General Terms).

2. Fee

2.1 The Application Plan Fee is a fixed amount, exclusive of VAT: (a) €450 for an open call (cascade/FSTP); (b) €950 for a joint transnational call with a consortium of up to two partners, plus €475 for each additional partner. The fee under (b) is invoiced in full to Client as the sole contracting party, including where the fee is presented per partner.

2.2 The Application Plan Fee is payable in full when ordering, through the online checkout. Clause 3.3 of the Service Agreement (VAT and the reverse-charge mechanism) applies mutatis mutandis; Client provides a valid VAT identification number at checkout where the reverse charge is to apply.

3. Formation and acceptance

3.1 This Order is formed upon Eucade’s receipt of payment of the Application Plan Fee, after Client has expressly accepted this Order and the General Terms (contract package 2026.5) by ticking the acceptance box at checkout. Both documents are made available before ordering, in Dutch and English, in a format that allows them to be stored and consulted.

3.2 This Order exists in Dutch and English. In the event of any discrepancy between the two language versions, the Dutch version prevails, which Client expressly accepts by ticking the acceptance box.

4. Commencement, declining and delivery

4.1 Eucade may decline the order within two (2) working days of payment, without stating reasons (clause 3.4 of the General Terms). In that case the Application Plan Fee is refunded in full and no further obligations arise for either party.

4.2 Work is deemed to have commenced upon Eucade’s dispatch of the written kick-off confirmation.

4.3 Eucade delivers the Application Plan within five (5) working days of the kick-off confirmation and of receipt of the complete input requested in it. If Eucade has not delivered within ten (10) working days of receipt of that complete input, Client may cancel this Order in writing and the Application Plan Fee is refunded in full.

4.4 Save as provided in clauses 4.1 and 4.3, the Application Plan Fee is non-refundable once work has commenced.

5. Credit against the application fee

5.1 If Client signs a Service Agreement with Eucade within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Application Plan, for the Target Call covered by the Application Plan or for another call or cut-off recommended in it, the Application Plan Fee is credited in full against the Fee under that Service Agreement, in accordance with clause 3.1 of that Service Agreement. After that period no credit is given.

6. No obligation to continue

6.1 This Order creates no obligation for either party to enter into a Service Agreement. Eucade may advise against proceeding; that advice forms part of the service.

7. Ownership

7.1 Notwithstanding clause 11.1 of the General Terms, the Application Plan accrues to Client, which may use it for any application, with or without Eucade. Clause 6.2 of the Service Agreement applies mutatis mutandis. Eucade retains ownership of its methodologies, prompts, templates and tools.

8. Liability

8.1 Eucade’s total liability under or in connection with this Order is limited to the amount of the Application Plan Fee, except in cases of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of Eucade. Clauses 8.1, 8.3 and 8.4 of the General Terms apply.

9. Third parties and personal data

9.1 The Application Plan is prepared for Client’s use only. Third parties, including consortium partners, derive no rights from it. Client indemnifies Eucade against claims by consortium partners and other third parties relating to the Application Plan or its use, except in cases of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of Eucade.

9.2 Insofar as Eucade processes personal data on behalf of Client in preparing the Application Plan — in particular data relating to representatives of consortium partners — Eucade acts as processor and the Data Processing Annex of contract package 2026.5 applies mutatis mutandis.

10. Relationship to other documents

10.1 This Order involves no submission and no portal work; the Letter of Engagement / Power of Attorney and clauses 3.5 and 5.5 of the Service Agreement do not apply to it.

10.2 The General Terms apply to this Order. In case of conflict between this Order and the General Terms, this Order prevails (clause 2.4 of the General Terms).

10.3 This Order is governed exclusively by the laws of the Netherlands. Disputes are submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the District Court of Rotterdam (clause 15 of the General Terms).

Contract package 2026.5 — final, adopted for use and signature — 24 September 2026. Concluded through the online checkout; no signature required (clause 3.3 of the General Terms).
