Any dispute on an invoice shall be raised in good faith and addressed to Greenomy ([email protected]) within 30 days following the date of the invoice. Parties commit to resolve the dispute in good faith and in a timely manner.

4.5. Fees Revision and Indexation

Greenomy reserves the right to amend the Fees in the event of a modification in the scope of the Services.
