They are furthermore non-transferable.

The Client is also authorised in the case of normal operation in their application to modify the delivered merchandise and equipment.

Customs and exportation charges and costs are entirely the responsibility of the Client.

The Client is responsible for all damages caused to the Company in the case of deviation from national and international regulations relative to the control of exportation and importation.

XIV. WARRANTIES - RESPONSIBILITY

Warranties on products sold by the Company are those given the manufacturers of said products

and no other.

The Company transfers to the Client the warranties of the manufacturer concerning the products delivered.

These warranties are valid on condition that merchandise is installed normally and correctly in respect of the recommendations from the manufacturer.

The warranty is invalid, for whatever reason, in the following situations:

- When the use of the product is subject to a modification or a exceptional setup, abnormal or not, unless this modification or exceptional setup has been expressly indicated in the order and has been accepted by the Company, then carried out under their consistent guidance;

- When the product concerned in the warranty has been disassembled, modified or repaired by a third-party;

- When the damage results in product wear incited by a lack of maintenance or lubrication, carelessness, negligence, inexperience or usage of the product in a way unintended or ill-advised by the Company, or within an inappropriate safety framework.

In the case in which the Company takes responsibility, notably in the case of a modification, an exceptional assembly or setup, this would be strictly limited, at the decision of the Company, to a reduction in cost equivalent to the price before tax, or to the free-of-charge replacement of components recognised to be defective; the cost of transport and labour as well as any other damage expenses facing the Client remain the responsibility of the Client.

To enact the warranty in the conditions defined by the manufacturer, the defective product must be accompanied by proof of purchase, and to perform this in the shortest possible time limit.

In any event, if the responsibility of the Company must be called upon as a result of products sold, whatever the cause or nature of the damage caused, this responsibility may not exceed the price, before tax, invoiced for the damaged merchandise, excluding any other compensation of whatever nature and notably excluding compensation of immaterial damages caused as a consequence, direct or indirect, because of a fault with the products.

XV. FORCE MAJEURE

Force majeure events are those of natural cause which are unforeseeable, insurmountable, and outside of those defined in case law, making impossible in any way the execution of the present agreement in anticipated conditions.

Strike by Company staff (including its subcontractors), lack of Company staff (including its subcontractors), notably road transport, breakdowns, temporary work stoppage by Company staff (including its subcontractors) constitute events of force majeure.

The Party affected by a case of force majeure must inform the other in writing as soon as possible and endeavour to put all means in place to reduce as much as possible resultant damages from the situation.

In the case of a force majeure event enduring more than 10 days, the Company retains the ability to terminate by any means the orders affected, respecting an advance warning of 5 working days.

XVI. PERSONAL DATA INFORMATION

The Client consents to the Company’s recording and processing of personal data in relation to commercial purposes, notably in the case of management, finance and recovery of the Client’s debt obligations.

These data are subject to sharing with any third party for the means of executing the contract(s) concerned.

In agreement with the terms of the modified Information Technology and Freedom Law no 78-17 of 6 January 1978, the Client has the right to access, change and delete personal data as well as the right to refuse to their processing through the Company.

 XVII. PRIVACY

The Client recognises the confidential nature of the information or documents of any form to which it has or will have access during the commercial relation with the Company and commits itself and any of its subcontractors to take all precautions necessary to prevent their disclosure.

XVIII. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

The entirety of commercial relations between the Company and its Clients is subject to French law.

By express agreement, all disputes concerning the interpretation or the execution of the present document, even in the case of multiple defendants or enacting a warranty, are under the sole jurisdiction of the Commerce Court of the location of the headquarters of the company where it has jurisdiction. Payments made or accepted do not imply any renewal of or exceptions to this jurisdiction clause.
