CHAPTER V
Termination of Participation in the Bizky Program
§ 1 General Rules
- The Agreement concluded under these Terms and Conditions may be terminated by the User with a one-month notice period, effective at the end of the month. Termination can be made in written or documentary form using the Platform or by sending an email to wyjscia@bizky.ai. This provision does not affect separate provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions.
- Without excluding other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the Organizer may terminate the agreement with immediate effect in the event of: a) gross violation of the agreement (including these Terms and Conditions) by the Participant, b) causing damage or the risk of damage to the Organizer’s property, c) a third party filing a claim against the Organizer in connection with activities conducted within the Project, d) violation of the personal rights of the Organizer by the Participant, e) the Participant undertaking actions or omissions within the Project’s activities that constitute a violation of the law.
- If the Participant’s business venture exceeds the scope of testing the business idea, particularly due to its significant financial turnover, the Organizer may terminate the agreement with a one-month notice period. The statement of termination is preceded by an analysis of the Project’s activities, which does not preclude the possibility of individual arrangements between the Organizer and the Participant regarding their participation in the Bizky Program.
- The Organizer’s termination of the agreement with the Participant occurs with a one-month notice period, effective at the end of the month. In any case where the Project’s liquidation period is longer than the notice period specified above, the Parties agree that, without the need for additional actions, the notice period is extended until the completion of the Project’s liquidation.
- On the date of the termination statement or the occurrence of another circumstance causing the termination of the Agreement, the Parties proceed to liquidate the Project. The Participant is obliged to carry out settlements and the liquidation of the Project with the participation and in agreement with the Organizer’s Representative, in accordance with the detailed Project settlement procedure, which will be provided through electronic communication channels, including the following obligations.
- During the liquidation process, ongoing business conducted within the Project’s activities must be concluded, the Project’s assets monetized, unpaid receivables collected, the Organizer’s liabilities arising from the Project’s activities satisfied, and all Costs covered.
- In connection with the liquidation of the Project, the Participant is specifically obliged to: a) terminate all agreements entered into within the Project’s activities and fulfill or settle obligations under these agreements or personally assume the obligations from these agreements and obtain necessary consents from the Project’s counterparties to transfer obligations to the Participant and present relevant documents, b) timely fulfill obligations related to the settlement of funds and cash registers, if retail sales were conducted using a cash register within the Project, c) settle the Project’s bank accounts and funds accumulated therein, d) liquidate data collected in personal data sets or transfer them and send relevant prior information to the subjects whose data was collected and processed, e) settle and provide HR documentation related to agreements concluded within the Project, f) settle fixed assets and intangible assets accumulated within the Project.

Failure to return the cash register results in charging the Project an Additional Cost according to the rates specified in Annex No. 1.
- After the liquidation period of the Project, the value of the Project’s assets is calculated. The remaining assets after the liquidation are paid to the Participant in accordance with the relevant legal provisions. For unsold fixed assets, the Organizer takes steps to sell these fixed assets to the Participant at their market value or transfer them in another form to the Participant’s ownership.
- If any third party makes a claim or allegation of rights violation after the Project’s liquidation, the Project’s liquidation is reopened, and the Project is obliged to bear the Basic Cost. Reopening the liquidation under the circumstances specified in the previous sentence does not require a separate agreement or additional formal actions. The provisions of these Terms and Conditions apply to the reopened liquidation.
- Reopening the liquidation also occurs in any cases of disclosing circumstances significantly affecting the outcome and decisions made in connection with the Project’s liquidation, particularly in the case of debt repayment previously written off as uncollectible, or disclosing unfinished interests, including unpaid or unsatisfied liabilities, as well as incurring additional costs related to the Project’s activities.
