Unless otherwise agreed in specific written terms, every order automatically constitutes the buyer’s acceptance of our general terms and conditions set out below, notwithstanding any conflicting provisions contained in the buyer’s own general purchasing conditions.
Payment terms (in accordance with the laws of 31/12/1992 and 15/05/2001)
Unless otherwise agreed in advance, invoices are payable immediately.
Where a different payment term has been agreed in advance, a discount of 0.3% per month will be applied if payment is made before the date shown on the invoice.
In the event of non-payment by the due date, a late-payment penalty of 1% per month of delay will be applied, together with a fixed compensation of €40 (forty euros) for debt recovery costs. Any invoice with a total including VAT of less than €120 (one hundred and twenty euros) will not be subject to a bill of exchange and is payable immediately by cheque, without discount.
Acceleration clause
Any payment period granted by our House shall include an acceleration clause: a single unpaid instalment, even in respect of accepted bills of exchange, shall render the outstanding balance immediately due and payable.
Penalty clause
In the event of unpaid debts entrusted to a specialised organisation for amicable or legal recovery, a penalty of 10% of the amount owed, with a minimum of 500 euros, will be applied as damages, in addition to the aforementioned late-payment penalties.
Retention of Title Clause
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, our goods are sold subject to a retention of title clause. This clause is enforceable against the buyer and other creditors, unless the parties have agreed in writing to waive or amend it. Accordingly, the goods sold shall remain our property until their price has been paid in full. The acceptance of bills of exchange shall have no effect in this respect and shall in no way prevent us from enforcing this clause. The risks relating to the said goods shall pass to the buyer upon delivery.
Choice of domicile and jurisdiction
Service of process is elected at the registered office of CAVROIS UNI-D. In the event of any dispute relating to the performance of a sales contract or payment of the price, or to the interpretation or performance of the clauses and conditions set out below, the Paris Commercial Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction, regardless of the place of delivery, the payment method accepted, or even in the event of third-party proceedings or multiple defendants.
Names
