Terms and Conditions of Sale

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

Our terms and conditions of sale, delivery, and payment apply to all our deliveries. They are the sole basis of any agreement and cannot be contradicted or amended by other conditions included in or appearing on purchase orders or in correspondence, except by our express acceptance. Under no circumstances may these orders and requisitions be made subject to conditions requested by the buyer, and any commitments made by our representatives or other delegates of our Company can only bind us through written confirmation or signed by the Company itself. Our prices are in € (euro) and represent our basic price list.

Our shipments are understood to be ex our Andard (49) site, unless otherwise specified. Our goods always travel at the recipient's risk and peril, even if delivered carriage paid. All goods must be checked upon receipt, and claims, to be valid, must be made within 48 hours of receipt of the aforementioned goods. In the event of damage noted upon receipt, no claim will be accepted if all usual reservations have not been duly made with the carriers.

In the event of a recognised error in the execution of an order, we are only obliged to replace the goods. Goods that have already been used cannot be replaced. Returns will only be accepted after prior agreement from us.

Our delivery times are given as an indication only. We cannot accept any request for cancellation due to late delivery, except in cases of force majeure and after formal notice has been given by registered letter giving us 15 days in which to dispatch the goods. In particular, strikes, floods, interruptions to transport services and other clauses that permanently hinder or stop our deliveries or those of our usual suppliers are considered to be cases of force majeure for the application of this clause. In the event of force majeure, which releases us from any responsibility with regard to delivery times, we reserve the right to either suspend or cancel contracts in progress, without compensation. Any failure to pay by the set dates shall immediately release the Company from any obligation whatsoever towards the purchaser. A dispute over a specific matter may not lead to the refusal of payment for products that are not in dispute. Generally speaking, the terms of payment may not be delayed under any pretext whatsoever, even if there is a dispute. We reserve all rights and privileges until our deliveries have been paid for in full. In the event of the return of drafts or notes, the costs of return, protests, new negotiations and interest shall be borne by the drawee. The return of an unpaid bill automatically results in the entire debt becoming due and payable.

In the event of any dispute arising from or in connection with a delivery or its payment, the courts of Angers shall have exclusive jurisdiction, regardless of the terms of sale and the method of payment accepted, even in cases of incidental claims, multiple defendants, or third-party claims, notwithstanding any contrary clauses that may appear in our customers' general terms and conditions.

Acceptance of a payment by money order, bank transfer, bill of exchange, cheque or any other instrument, to a town other than Angers, shall not in any way constitute a waiver of this essential jurisdiction clause.

Any special agreement or any derogation from any of these general conditions must be the subject of specific written stipulations from us, with all the general conditions defined above, which are not expressly modified or repealed by these special stipulations, retaining their full and entire effect.
