The Seller’s warranty is, in any event, limited to the replacement or reimbursement of non-compliant or defective products.
ARTICLE 8 – Contractual warranty – Products
In addition to the legal guarantees of compliance and against hidden defects, the Products benefit from a 6-month contractual warranty. This warranty runs from the delivery of the Product(s).
The contractual warranty covers Products against defects in construction or material, excluding normal wear and tear on the material and parts making up the products, deterioration or accident resulting from negligence, supervision or maintenance defects.
In order to qualify for the commercial warranty, it is essential to keep the purchase invoice for the Product(s).
ARTICLE 9 – Intellectual property
The Seller retains ownership of all intellectual property rights to the Products, including those customised at the request of the Customer.
The Customer therefore prohibits any reproduction of the Products without the express, written and prior authorisation of the Seller, which may condition it to a financial consideration.

Personal data collected from the Customer shall be processed by the Seller. It is saved in their customer file and is essential for the processing of their order.
This personal information and data is also kept for security purposes in order

The data processing officer is the Seller. Access to personal data will be strictly limited to the employees of the processing manager who are authorised to process it because of their duties. The information collected may be provided to third parties related to the Company by contract for the execution of subcontracted tasks, without the Customer’s authorisation being required.
In the performance of their services, third parties have only limited access to the data and have the obligation to use it in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation on the protection of personal data.

ARTICLE 11 – Predictability
These Terms and Conditions of Sale expressly exclude the legal system of predictability provided for in article 1195 of the Civil Code for all transactions of sale of Products from the Seller to the Customer.
The Seller and the Customer therefore waive the provisions of article 1195 of the Civil Code and the predictability regime provided for therein, committing itself to fulfilling its obligations even if the contractual balance is disrupted by circumstances that were unpredictable at the time of closing the sale, even if their execution would be prohibitively expensive and to bear all economic and financial consequences.
ARTICLE 12 – Enforced execution in kind
In the event of a failure of either party to comply with its obligations, the party who is the victim of the failure shall have the right to request the forced performance in kind of the obligations arising out of this agreement. In accordance with the provisions of article 1221 of the Civil Code, the creditor of the obligation may continue this forced execution after a simple formal notice, addressed to the debtor of the obligation by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt which has remained unsuccessful, unless it proves impossible or there is a clear disproportion between its cost to the debtor, in good faith, and its interest to the creditor.
By express derogation from the provisions of article 1222 of the Civil Code, in the event of a failure of either party to its obligations, the party who is the victim of the default shall not, by itself, have the obligation performed by a third party at the expense of the defaulting party.
The creditor of the obligation may, however, request in court that the defaulting party advance the sums necessary for such performance.
The failed Party may, in the event of failure to fulfil any of the obligations of the other party, request termination of the agreement as defined in “Contract Termination”.
ARTICLE 13 – Non-performance clause
It is recalled that, pursuant to article 1219 of the Civil Code, each party may refuse to fulfil its obligation, even though it is due, if the other party does not perform its obligation and if such a breach is serious enough, that is, that it could jeopardise the continuation of the contract or fundamentally disrupt its economic balance.
The performance suspension will take effect immediately, upon receipt by the breaching party of the notification of default to the breaching party indicating the intention to enforce the exception of non-performance until the breaching party has remedied the situation, served by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt or on any other durable written medium to provide proof of sending.
This non-performance clause may also be used as a preventive measure, in accordance with the provisions of article 1220 of the Civil Code, if it is evident that one of the parties will not carry out its obligations by the due date and that the consequences of such non-performance are sufficiently serious for the party who is the victim of the default.
This option is used at the risk and peril of the party taking the initiative.
The suspension of performance shall take effect immediately upon receipt by the alleged breaching party of the notification of the intention to enforce the preventive non-performance exception until the alleged breaching party carries out the obligation for which a future failure is manifest, served by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt or on any other durable written medium to provide proof of sending.
ARTICLE 14 – Force Majeure
The Parties shall not be liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of their obligations, as described herein, results from a force majeure event within the meaning of article 1218 of the Civil Code.
The party subject to the event shall promptly inform the other party of its inability to perform and shall justify it to the other party. The suspension of obligations shall not be a cause of liability for failure to perform the obligation in question, nor shall it induce the payment of damages or penalties for delay.
The performance of the obligation shall be suspended for the duration of force majeure if it is temporary and shall not exceed a period of THIRTY (30) days.
Therefore, as soon as the cause of the suspension of their reciprocal obligations has disappeared, the parties will make every effort to resume the normal performance of their contractual obligations as soon as possible.
To this end, the prevented party shall notify the other party of the resumption of its obligation by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt or any extraordinary act.
If the impediment is permanent or exceeds SIXTY (60) days, this agreement shall be terminated exclusively and simply in accordance with the terms set out in the “Termination for Force Majeure”.
During this suspension, the parties agree that the costs incurred by the situation shall be divided by half.
ARTICLE 15 – Contract Termination
15.1 – Termination for failure to fulfil a sufficiently serious obligation
Notwithstanding article 14.3 “Termination for breach of obligations of a party – termination clause” set out below, the party who is the victim of the default may, in the event of a sufficiently serious breach of any of the obligations of the other party, notify registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt to the failing party, the termination hereof thirty (30) days after the sending of a notice of execution which has remained unsuccessful, pursuant to the provisions of article 1224 of the Civil Code.
15.2 – Termination for force majeure
In the event of force majeure as stated in the article “Force majeure”, it is expressly agreed that the parties may legally terminate this contract, without summation or formality.
15.3 – Termination for failure of a Party to fulfil its obligations – termination clause
In the event of failure by either party to comply with the obligations set out in this contract, the latter may be terminated at the discretion of the injured party.
It is expressly understood that this termination for breach of obligations by a Party shall take place legally THIRTY (30) days after the sending of a notice of execution, which has remained, in whole or in part, without effect, registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt. Such notice shall indicate the intention to apply this clause.
15.4 – Provisions common to termination cases
It is expressly agreed between the parties that the debtor of an obligation to pay under this agreement shall be validly called into notice by the sole liability of the obligation, in accordance with the provisions of article 1344 of the Civil Code.
Services exchanged between the Parties from the conclusion of the contract and until its termination can only find their usefulness by the full performance of the contract, and will give rise to full restitution.
In any event, the injured party may seek damages in court.

The Supplier will replace or repair any warranted Products found to be defective. This warranty also covers labour costs.
Replacement of defective products or parts will not extend the duration of the above warranty.
Finally, the warranty cannot be used if the products have been subjected to abnormal use, or have been used under conditions different from those for which they were manufactured, in particular in case of failure to comply with the conditions set out in the user manual.
Nor does it apply to the event of deterioration or accident resulting from shock, fall, negligence, failure to monitor or maintain, or in the event of processing of the product.
ARTICLE 9 – Intellectual property
The Supplier retains all industrial and intellectual property rights in and to products, photos and technical documentation which cannot be communicated or executed without written permission.
ARTICLE 10 – Processing of personal data
Personal data collected from the Business Customer is processed by the Supplier. It is saved in their customer file and is essentialto the processing of their order. This personal information and data is also kept for security purposes in order to comply with legal and regulatory requirements. It will be retained for as long as necessary for the execution of any applicable orders and warranties.
The data processing manager is the supplier. Access to personal data will be strictly limited to the employees of the processing manager who are authorized to process it because of their duties. The information collected may be provided to third parties related to the Company by contract for the performance of subcontracted tasks, without the consent of theBusiness Customer being required.
In the performance of their services, third parties onlyhave limited access to the data and have the obligation to use it in accordancewith the provisions of the applicable legislation on the protection of personaldata. Except as set out above, the Supplier shall not sell, rent, assign or give access to any third party to the data without the prior consent of the Business Customer, unless required to do so for a legitimate reason.
If the data is transferred outside the EU, the business customer will be informed and guarantees taken to secure the data(e.g. external provider’s membership in the “Privacy Shield”, adoption of standard protection clauses validated by the French Data ProtectionAuthority, adoption of a code of conduct, obtaining a certification from theFrench Data Protection Authority, etc.) will be specified.
In accordance with the applicable regulations, the BusinessCustomer has a right of access, rectification, deletion, and portability of their data, as well as the right to object to processing on legitimate grounds, rights they may exercise by contacting the processing manager at the following postal or email address: [email protected]
In the event of a complaint, the Business Customer may make a complaint to the provider’s Personal Data Protection Officer with the French Data Protection Authority.
ARTICLE 11 – Predictability
These Terms and Conditions of Sale expressly exclude the legal system of predictability provided for in article1195 of the Civil Code for all transactions in the sale of products from the Supplier to the Business Customer.
The Supplier and the Business Customer therefore relinquish the provisions of article 1195 of the Civil Code and the predictability plan provided for therein, committing itself to fulfilling its obligations even if the contractual balance is disrupted by circumstances that were unpredictable at the time of closing the sale, even if their execution would be prohibitively expensive and to bear all economic and financial consequences thereof.
ARTICLE 12 – Enforced execution in kind
In the event of a failure of either party to comply with its obligations, the party who is the victim of the failure shall have the right to request the forced performance in kind of the obligations arising out of this agreement. In accordance with the provisions of article 1221 of the Civil Code, the creditor of the obligation may continue this forced execution after a simple formal notice, addressed to the debtor of the obligation by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt which has remained unsuccessful, unless it proves impossible or there is a clear disproportion between its cost to the debtor, in good faith, and its interest to the creditor.
By express derogation from the provisions of article 1222 of the Civil Code, in the event of a failure of either party to its obligations, the party who is the victim of the default shall not, by itself, have the obligation performed by a third party at the expense of the defaulting party.
The creditor of the obligation may, however, request in court that the defaulting party advance the sums necessary for such performance.
The failed Party may, in the event of failure to fulfilL any of the obligations of the other party, request termination of the agreement as defined in “ContractTermination ».
ARTICLE 13 – Non-performance clause
It is recalled that, pursuant to article 1219 of the Civil Code, each party may refuse to fulfilL its obligation, even though it is due, if the other party does not perform its obligation and if such a breach is serious enough, that is, that it could jeopardise the continuation of the contract or fundamentally disrupt its economic balance.
The performance suspension will take effect immediately, upon receipt by the breaching party of the notification of default to the breaching party indicating the intention to enforce the exception of non-performance until the breaching party has remedied the situation, served by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt or on any other durable written medium to provide proof of sending.
This non-performance clause may also be used as a preventive measure, in accordance with the provisions of article 1220 of the Civil Code, if it is evident that one of the parties will not carry out its obligations by the due date and that the consequences of such non-performance are sufficiently serious for the party who is the victim of the default.
This option is used at the risk and peril of the party taking the initiative.
The suspension of performance shall take effect immediately upon receipt by the alleged breaching party of the notification of the intention to enforce the preventive non-performance exception until the alleged breaching party carries out the obligation for which a future failure is manifest, served by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt or on any other durable written medium to provide proof of sending.
ARTICLE 14 – Force Majeure
The Parties shall not be liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of their obligations, as described here in, results from a force majeure event within the meaning of article1218 of the Civil Code.
The party subject to the eventshall promptly inform the other party of its inability to perform and shalljustify it to the other party. The suspension of obligations shall not be a cause of liability for failure to perform the obligation in question, nor shall it induce the payment of damages or penalties for delay.
The performance of the obligation shall be suspended for the duration of force majeure if it is temporary and shall not exceed a period of THIRTY (30) days.
Therefore, as soon as the cause of the suspension of their reciprocal obligations has disappeared, the parties will make every effort to resume the normal performance of their contractual obligations as soon as possible.
To this end, the prevented party shall notify the other party of the resumption of its obligation by registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt or any extraordinary act.
If the impediment is permanent or exceeds SIXTY (60) days, this agreement shall be terminated exclusively and simply in accordance with the terms set out in the “Termination for Force Majeure”.
During this suspension, the parties agree that the costs incurred by the situation shall be divided by half.
ARTICLE 15 – Contract Termination
15.1 – Termination for failure to fulfil asufficiently serious obligation
Not with standing article 14.3 “Termination for breach of obligations of a party – termination clause” set out below, the party who is the victim of the default may, in the event of a sufficiently serious breach of any of the obligations of the other party, notify registered letter with request for acknowledgement of receipt to the failing party, the termination here of thirty (30) days after the sending of a notice of execution which has remained unsuccessful, pursuant to the provisions of article1224 of the Civil Code.
