2.Opposability
The  conclusion of the sale leads automatically to the complete and unconditional acceptance of these general conditions of sale.
These general conditions of sale shall apply to the exclusion of any other general conditions, in particular the general conditions of purchase of the buyer.
The Seller reserves the right to modify at any time these general conditions of sale. The applicable version will be  the one  in effect at the time of the conclusion of the sale.

3. Conclusion of the sale
The Seller issues a pro forma invoice  and/or a contract of sale to the Buyer indicating :
- the designation and the specifications of the goods,
- the price of the goods without any taxes and the amount of the deposit to be paid at the order,
- the terms of payment,
- the conditions and delivery times which are provided solely for informative purposes,
- where required the conditions of installation and staff training,
- the possible application of a contractual guarantee.
The sale  is deemed definitively concluded only after return of the pro forma invoice  and/or the contract of sale signed and stamped by the Buyer and payment of the quoted deposit.
By doing so, the Buyer recognizes that the Seller has provided him with all necessary information to express his needs, without any obligation for the Seller to seek for additional  information or to check the supplied specifications, and that he is contracting with full knowledge of the evidence.
Each sale is firm and irrevocable. In case of cancellation by the Buyer, the deposit is non-refundable and remains with the Seller, without prejudice to any damages.

4.Price - payment
Unless otherwise agreed, prices shall be understood to be in EURO, excluding taxes, net without any discount or deduction on the basis of the rate in force at the time of the signing of the order.
The prices may be increased by the Seller in the event of changes or addition of extra goods by the Buyer after the order.
The payment of the deposit takes place as indicated in article 3 and the payment of the balance by the date quoted on the pro forma invoice and/or the contract of sale.
Pursuant to Article L 441-6 of the Commercial Code, penalties for late payment are due the day following the payment date quoted on the the pro forma invoice  and/or the contract of sale if the amounts due are paid after that date.
The interest rate applied for the calculation of these penalities is equal to three times the legal interest rate. A fixed amount of 40 EURO will be due for recovery costs, a additional compensation shall be claimed, upon presentation of relevant proof, if the costs exceed this amount.
In addition, if the Buyer fails to effect payment on the agreed dates, the Seller shall have the automatic right to cancel the contract, 48 hours after an ultimate unsuccessful summons and will be able to freely dispose of  the goods without being troubled in any way in this respect by the Buyer .

5.Delivery
The delivery times are mentionned on the the pro forma invoice and/or the contract of sale as an indication only.  If there is a delay in delivery the Buyer shall not be entitled to claim any penalty nor to require the cancellation of the contract.
The delivery times run from the date of the payment of the deposit.
Unless otherwise agreed, the sales are concluded according to the INCOTERMS ICC 2010. The applicable INCOTERM will be quoted on the pro forma invoice and/or the contract of sale.

Without prejudice to claims taken against the carrier, the Buyer shall notify his reservations within the same timeframe to the Seller. If no such notification has been made by the end of that period, this shall be deemed to constitute implicit  acceptance of the goods, the Buyer will not be able to claim later on for any non-conformities, nor visible defects, nor missing products.
