GENERAL
CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. General clause :
Our sales are subject to current general terms and conditions as applied
to all purchases.
2. Confidentiality :
All reports, plans, designs and documents provided by the Vendor remain
his property. They may not be given to third parties, for any reason whatsoever.
3. Constitution of the Contract :
We acknowledge receipt of all requests for information. After careful
study a quote is prepared containing specific clauses as well as the general
terms of sale. If the Purchaser accepts the quote, the order will be deemed
to have been accepted by us after payment according to the modalities
and time limits laid down in our offer or quote.
4. Time Limits :
Production deadlines are set out in the quote and are purely for information.
Any possible delay in delivery will not give the Purchaser the right to
cancel the order or to claim compensation.
5. Delivery - Transport - Insurance :
Our objets d'art are packed for transport under normal conditions and
are insured against loss or possible damage during transit. It is imperative
that the Purchaser checks the condition of the goods on delivery as damage
can occur. In case of any problem, the Purchaser must inform the transporter
within the relevant legal time limits and also immediately inform the
Vendor by email and then in writing.
Transport costs are the responsibility of the Purchaser and are calculated
and set out in the initial quote.
6. Prices - Payment - Taxes :
Where delivery is to an agreed address outside the European Union, the
prices quoted do
not include tax and duty payable. ( DDU, Incoterms 2000 ).
For customers of countries within the European Union the prices quoted
are inclusive of
all taxes and free of customs duty.
Prices are given in the quote and remain fixed upon receipt of payment
and our
confirmation of agreement. Because of the unique character of our objets
d'art, payment,
including a provisional sum to cover transport costs, must be made at
the time the order is
placed. In order to ensure the security of transactions, payment is to
be made in advance
by inter-bank transfer. Customers will be advised of our bank details
upon acceptance of
the quote.
7. Guarantee :
Articles which are sold are guaranteed against possible hidden defects
according to Article
1641 of the Civil Code. If a customer believes he has found a defect,
he should
immediately provide the Vendor with relevant proof. The Vendor reserves
the right to
undertake any verification he considers necessary. The Purchaser agrees
to accept the
Vendor's recommendations.
8. Litigation : Competent Legal Authorities
- Law applicable :
In the absence of agreement, any eventual lawsuit relating to a sale made
by us will be the exclusive domain of the French courts and more precisely
that of Quimper, France in the first instance. The French legal authorities
will apply French Law.
