The general conditions of sale described below govern all sales of the Company’s products.
If the buyer fails to inform our Company by registered letter, at the latest within 8 days of dispatch of the acknowledgment of receipt of the order (this period being 15 days for the buyer residing in abroad), his disagreement with one or other of the provisions below, the buyer is deemed to have accepted them, notwithstanding any contrary stipulations which may appear on his own documents and except, possibly, the effect of special conditions previously and expressly agreed.
All our exchanges can be carried out on all media (written, internet, telephone) but in the event of a dispute, only signed writings will have probative value over all other documents.
The change of situation of the buyer, the dissolution, or the modification of the company, the death, the incapacity, the legal reorganization or the procedure of safeguard, the legal liquidation or the bankruptcy, this enumeration being only enunciative and not limited to, allow us to cancel the contract or to require guarantees.
Any service performed by the Company therefore implies the purchaser’s unreserved acceptance of these general conditions of sale. Furthermore, it is understood that these general conditions of sale can be translated into one or more foreign languages. In case of inconsistency between different versions of these general conditions of sale, the French version will prevail.

PRICE VALIDITY

Our prices are denominated in euros and are exclusive of tax. Consequently, they will be increased by the VAT rate and the transport and/or packaging costs applicable on the day of the order.
The prices of certain materials may be subject to revision on the day of delivery depending on the prices of certain metals and currencies.
The prices of any item whose delivery date is scheduled beyond a period of 1 year from the date of receipt of the order, are subject to increases unless agreed in writing on our part.

MINIMUM ORDER

Given our management costs, no order of less than 100 euros excluding tax can be registered. In addition, for tubular armored elements, heating cartridges, or equipment made up of these elements, any order requiring special production may be subject to a minimum quantity per product.

DELIVERY TIME

Delivery is made:
– by direct delivery of the goods to the buyer
– at the place indicated by the buyer on the order form
Except for an express clause appearing in this document and containing the formula “imperative deadline accepted” or “imperative date accepted”, the dates and deadlines for availability fixed on the order acknowledgment of receipt are only given as an indication.
They cannot, in case of delay, be a pretext for the cancellation of the order or the refusal to accept the delivery.
No compensation or penalty can be demanded in the event of late delivery unless they have been accepted by us expressly and in writing.
War, strikes, epidemics, interruption of transport, shortage of equipment, incident, accidents, delays in the delivery of our raw materials, and in general all clauses likely to lead to unemployment even part of our factory, are declared cases of force majeure which authorize the suspension and delay the execution of the orders.

In the event of total loss, the buyer who wants us to intervene with the carriers with a view to making a claim must send us the request by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within 15 days from the date of receipt of the invoice corresponding to the delivery. Our intervention in this case does not constitute, on our part, the acceptance of the risk of transport which remains the responsibility of the buyer.

COMPLAINTS AND RETURNS OF GOODS

The buyer has a firm period of 15 days from the date of delivery of the goods or from the date of first presentation or availability of the goods, to formulate the reservations which would justify the non-conformity of this delivery with the order. After this period, no amicable or legal complaint from the buyer can be accepted.
Parts judged to be defective by our customers must, after notice, be returned to us free of charge in our workshops. No returns will be accepted if shipped collect.

The warranty cannot under any circumstances give rise to a return, a refund or an exchange for another material. We cannot be held liable in the event of poor resistance to corrosion of the materials used in our manufacture if this results from the conditions of use of the resistors.

The same will apply in particular to any dispute resulting from incidents of payment of drafts or bills drawn on the occasion of this contract.
