ARTICLE 1.
ORDER ACCEPTANCE All orders placed by the purchaser imply full acceptance of our general sales conditions, notwithstanding any arrangements to the contrary in the general conditions of the purchaser. Orders cannot be accepted by ASSISTANTS RECORD INTERNATIONAL until the order form has been received, accompanied, where appropriate, by settlement of any balance due on the account.
ARTICLE 2.
ORDER CANCELLATIONIf any order is cancelled by the client while it is in the course of execution, the following conditions will apply: 1) All order cancellations must be notified in writing; 2) If 80 % of the order has been completed, the full amount will be invoiced; 3) If 50 % to 80 % of the order has been completed, 80 % will be invoiced; 4) If 25 % to 50 % of the order has been completed, 50 % will be invoiced; 5) If less than 5 % of the order has been completed, 25 % will be invoiced.
ARTICLE 3.
LEAD TIMES ASSISTANTS RECORD INTERNATIONAL shall meet delivery dates indicated on the estimate and on the order confirmation, unless it has been agreed otherwise with the client and provided the client has supplied all necessary material.
ARTICLE 4.
RESPONSIBILITY Any claims against ASSISTANTS RECORD INTERNATIONAL must be made within a period of 30 days following receipt of documents or provision of a service. The purchaser must provide evidence in support of such claims. The client undertakes to provide all elements to justify any claim. ASSISTANTS RECORD INTERNATIONAL cannot substitute for the client in the matter of final vetting of the documents before printing and cannot be held responsible for any additional costs caused by defective vetting. ASSISTANTS RECORD INTERNATIONAL can only be held responsible if vetting has been stipulated on the estimate or confirmation of the order and has been the subject of a supplementary charge. The liability of ASSISTANTS RECORD INTERNATIONAL is limited to the amount of the invoice.
ARTICLE 5.
RATES A.R.I. prices are exclusive of taxes. Invoices are based on the rates in effect on the date of delivery, or, in the case of services, on the date of provision of the service. Invoices are issued with taxes included.
ARTICLE 6.
PAYMENT Payment is normally due on receipt of the invoice. All payment conditions having been accepted, failure to pay, or a defect in the means of payment, on any invoice, will render immediately payable all amounts due to A.R.I. by the client, this within 10 days of notice given by registered letter. Issue of promissory notes or bills of exchange or arrangements to pay by instalments will render all debts due immediately, as specified in the preceding paragraph. It is formally agreed that on all occasions other than those to which A.R.I. has specifically agreed deferred payment of amounts stipulated by invoice, including late and/or defective instruments of payment, shall result in an application of interest charges at a minimum of 1.5 % above bank base rates and the suspension or cancellation of current orders.
ARTICLE 7.
JURISDICTIONAll disputes or litigation relating to this contract will fall within the competence of the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris.
