Website Terms of Use
Terms under which this website may be used. Last updated May 2026.
These terms govern your use of the eucade.eu website. They do not constitute the terms of any service engagement with Eucade; paid services are subject to a separate Service Agreement signed by both parties.
1. About Eucade
Eucade is the trading name of Gerben Bijmholt, operating as a Dutch sole proprietorship (eenmanszaak). Eucade prepares EU cascade funding applications for European SMEs.
2. No legal or financial advice
The content of eucade.eu is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, tax, or grant-eligibility advice. EU funding programmes, evaluation criteria, and award rates change frequently. We recommend consulting the official European Commission Funding & Tenders Portal for authoritative information on specific calls.
3. No guarantee of grant award
Eucade prepares applications to a high professional standard, but EU funding awards are competitive and decided by independent evaluators. No representation is made regarding likelihood of award. On open calls and Joint R&D Eucade works on a success fee basis: €450 for the Application Plan, €950 for writing the application (per partner when several companies apply together), due at submission, and, only if a grant is awarded, a fee of 10% of the cash grant in total, never more than €15,000 per funded company, with everything paid before counted in. If you do not win, it stays at what you paid before, provided the application was submitted. If you withdraw after work has started, or do not submit, the amounts due up front (€450, and €950 per partner once the writing phase has begun) remain payable. If the failure to submit is attributable to Eucade, the €950 is waived or refunded; the €450 remains payable. All amounts exclude VAT. On the Scale-up Track a 2.5% success fee applies to an awarded grant component only, with the Blueprint price deducted in full. Fees are non-refundable, save for the refunds set out in the contract: a formal or admissibility rejection attributable to Eucade, termination by Eucade for compelling reasons, non-submission attributable to Eucade, and the recalculations in the Success Fee Route Module.
4. Intake submissions
Submitting an intake form does not create a contractual relationship. We will review submissions and respond within a reasonable timeframe. We reserve the right to decline engagements that fall outside our scope of practice.
5. Intellectual property
All content on this website, text, layout, graphics, and code, is owned by Eucade or licensed to Eucade. You may not reproduce, distribute, or modify any content without prior written consent, except for personal, non-commercial use.
6. External links
Links to external websites are provided for convenience. Eucade does not control and is not responsible for the content of third-party sites.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Dutch law, Eucade disclaims liability for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages arising from the use of this website. This does not limit any liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory consumer protection law.
8. Applicable law
These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes arising in connection with this website are subject to the jurisdiction of the competent Dutch courts.
9. Changes
