Our general terms and conditions of sale

General
Sales made by AX TECH, identified under the number 751 982 760 of Meaux, whose registered office is 14 rue du Poteau - 77101 COURTRY, are exclusively governed by the present terms of sale. The general conditions of sale defined below apply to all our sales and services; they exclude any application of the purchasing conditions of our co-contractors and only authorise personalised negotiation. Our customers' orders are binding, unless we give notice to the contrary within two weeks. No cancellation or modification of an order by the client is opposable to the company.

Prices
The prices attached to these general terms and conditions of sale are exclusive of tax, with VAT in particular being added. These rates may be modified at any time and, for example, in the event of changes in tax or economic data. Changes to the price list do not entitle the customer to cancel the order. Invoices shall be issued in accordance with the price list in force on the day of collection or dispatch of the goods.

Payment
Invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date. Penalties are applied if the sums due are not paid by the payment date indicated on the invoice. These penalties are at an annual rate of 20%. They are payable by operation of law, in accordance with Article L. 441-6 of the French Commercial Code, without the need for a reminder. These penalties shall be capitalised and shall produce interest at the same rate of 20%, as soon as they are due for at least one year. In the event of late payment, a fixed indemnity for collection costs of €100 shall apply. If the purchaser has failed to fulfil any of his obligations in the course of a previous order (in particular, failure to pay or late payment), he may be refused the sale unless he provides satisfactory guarantees or cash payment.

Delivery times and conditions
Delivery times are given for information only and without any guarantee. Delays in delivery do not entitle the buyer to cancel the sale or to refuse the goods. Nor can they give rise to any withholding, penalty or damages. The goods travel at the risk of the customer, who is responsible for checking their good condition at the time of delivery. If the customer notices any damage or missing items, he must make precise and complete reservations on the transport document and reiterate his reasoned protest in the form and within the time limits provided for in Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code.

Force majeure
The occurrence of a case of force majeure has the effect of suspending the execution of our contractual obligations. A case of force majeure is any event beyond our control that impedes the normal functioning of the manufacture or shipment of products. In particular, cases of force majeure include total or partial strikes hindering the proper functioning of our company or that of one of our suppliers, subcontractors or carriers, as well as the interruption of transport, energy supply, raw materials or spare parts.

Retention of title
We reserve ownership of the goods sold until full payment of the invoice and interest. In the event of non-payment on the agreed due date, we shall be entitled to take back the goods and the sale shall be cancelled by operation of law; any advance payments already made shall be retained by way of compensation.
If the distributor fails to pay his invoice on the due date, in full or in part, we shall be entitled to demand payment of the sums still owed by the distributor directly from his end customer to whom he has resold the goods subject to the reservation of title.Furthermore, the buyer shall be responsible for the goods sold as soon as they are physically handed over, the transfer of possession entailing the transfer of risk.

Guarantee of the goods
It is the responsibility of the customer to check the goods on delivery, this check having to relate in particular to the references, the quantities and the quality of the goods as well as their conformity with the order. No complaint will be taken into account after a period of 8 days from the date of delivery. Goods with a non-conformity that is not contested and reported within this period shall be replaced or repaired, to the exclusion of any compensation for damages of any kind. Similarly, if it appears that the goods have a defect, the guarantee is strictly limited to repair or replacement, to the exclusion of any compensation.

Law and jurisdiction
All sales and services provided by our company are subject to French law and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of PARIS.
