General Terms and conditions of sale (GTCS)

The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTCS) are sent systematically to all customers ; this automatically implies that, when orders are placed, the customer or reseller accept the GTCS without reservation and the GTCS take precedence over any other nonbinding, such as sales brochures or catalogues, produced by our company. No special conditions shall take precedence over the General Terms and Conditions of Sale without our formal, written agreement. Any contrary condition put forward by the customer is therefore invalid without our express agreement, regardless of which time it was brought to our notice. The fact that we do not assert one or other of these terms and conditions at a given time does not mean that we renounce the right to assert them subsequently.
The present terms and conditions cancel and replace the previous terms and conditions of sale as well as all special agreements.

PURCHASE ORDER

Please respect the position of the personalised logo/text, etc., as shown in the catalogue. The positioning may be different by request and with our agreement. Purchase orders are not firm until we have all the documents required to fulfil it.
It is not worth making reservations for orders in June or July, etc., without sending the personalisation data at the same time.
RENEWED ORDERS: please notify us of the invoice date of the previous order. Also, if you wish us to use a special colour for the personalisation, you must send us a ready-made sample and, in all cases, a photocopy of the personalisation.

PERSONALISATION

If quantities are beneath the minimum order quantity, the flat-rate price of the quantity above applies.
Quantities may vary by 5 percent more or less. Customers should warn their own customers of this when taking the order.
Any change in the colour of the personalisation on the same purchase order for the same article shall be subject to an additional charge of 12 euros.
Certain customers are complaining more and more frequently about the poor performance of the personalisation over time ; this being the case the customer hereby declares to have been informed that the yardstick for print quality is the “adhesive tape test” and that, if this is conclusive, we are in no way liable for claims by the customer’s own customers.

SAMPLES

Samples are always payable (1st columm of prices, non personalised) and are non-returnable whatever the quantity.
If the customer does not specify his order, they can be shipped WITH or WTHOUT branding depending on availibility.

No orders will be accepted by telephone.

Customers are the sole beneficiaries of their purchase orders and these may not be ceded without our agreement.

On reception of goods, the customer shall express any reservations at the moment of unlading. Should any packages be open or damaged, the client must check off the defective/missing articles in the presence of the delivery agent and confirm this by registrered letter to the carrier within 48 hours. We will not replace any products at our own cost if these reservations have not been made as stated above.

If customers return goods to us due to an error on their part, they will be invoiced for 35 euros in warehousing costs. The risks and costs of the return (carriage) are payable by the customer.
Goods may only be returned with our agreement. Any goods which are returned without our agreement will be kept at the customer’s disposal and no credit note will be issued for them. We will issue a credit note for goods which are returned with our agreement once the quality and quantity have been verified. The customer forfeits any deposits in the case of returns of goods which do not comply with these conditions.

Should the customer have resold our goods, we also reserve the possibility to claim payment of the price of the goods held by the subsequent purchaser, the reservation of title being transferred of the price of sale. In the case of staggered delivery, title will be transferred as and when the delivered batches are paid. Defaults on payment of any one of the sums due may lead us to reclaim the goods. On delivery of the goods, all risks, including accident and force majeure, and storage are transferred to the customer.

SPECIAL CREATIONS

The imprints, plans, models and moulds which we manufacture or have manufactured for special shapes created to customer specifications remain our property. The payment asked of the customer (costs of mould), which is solely parti- cipative, is in no way representative of the value of these elements and does not entail transfer of any kind to the customer.
