ARTICLE 2 – STUDIES - ORDERS All orders are subject to an estimate and a study previously accepted by the Buyer. Our offers are only valid for one (1) month. The submission of an estimate does not constitute a production commitment. Any changes to the study and / or order, or modification or development of products, requested by the Buyer, give rise to an additional cost to be borne by the latter and under the conditions specified in a supplementary estimate. Any study carried out by the Seller remains its property. Any new use, reproduction or other, even in the event of a new order from the Buyer are prohibited, under penalty of damages, unless expressly authorised in writing by the Seller. Sales are only complete after express written acceptance of the Buyer's order by the Seller. Orders will only be put into production after receipt of the deposit mentioned on the order confirmation. ARTICLE 3 – PRICES Our prices are established according to the measurements and specifications communicated to us for the preparation of the estimate. They are based on the economic conditions at the time of acceptance of the order. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, they may be revised according to the variation in the costs of their constituent elements (salaries, charges, raw materials, taxes, etc.) until the day on which the goods are made available. These price variations may under no circumstances be grounds for terminating the order.

They may be revised in the event of a change in currency exchange rates. ARTICLE 4 – PAYMENT TERMS Our payment terms are governed by the LME law of 04/08/2018.

Off-set Without the express and prior written agreement of the Seller, and provided that the reciprocal claims and debts are certain, liquid and payable, no off-set can validly be performed between any penalties for late payment or non-compliance of products with the order and the amounts due in respect of the purchase of products by the Seller. 4.3. Retention of title Until full payment of the price, the Seller reserves a right of ownership on the products sold, allowing it to repossess said products in the event of non-payment.

The delivery of the products may be made at any other place designated by the Buyer with the express written consent of the Seller, provided that the delivery address is specified at the time of ordering. 5.2. Reception The Buyer must check the condition of products upon delivery.

Similarly, the Seller shall not be liable in the event that the use of the products it has manufactured would infringe such a right. The Buyer is obliged to hold the Seller harmless against any possible action by third parties on this basis and to fully indemnify the Seller for any possible convictions, costs and other harmful consequences on this basis.
