Where no financing agreement has been negotiated in writing, the client declares that they have the financial means to settle any invoice relating to the offer in question and acknowledges full responsibility for payment.

With regard to emergency interventions, an offer may not be issued prior to the intervention. The prices of emergency interventions will be communicated to the client upon request.

Article 2: Offer and contract

1. Offers made by CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. remain free and non-binding unless expressly designated as binding in each individual case. In such case, CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. shall be bound by its offer unless a specific validity period is indicated in the offer.

2. Illustrations, drawings, weights and measurements mentioned in the offer are not binding and are provided for indicative purposes only, unless expressly stated as binding by CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. Information concerning the subject of the contract or its use generally constitutes descriptions of work only and shall not constitute guarantees.

3. All copies, drawings, illustrations, photographs, plans and technical documentation relating to the offer, as well as concepts and cost estimates, remain the exclusive property and copyright of CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. Without prior consent, they may not be used in whole or in part, nor disclosed or made accessible to third parties. They must be returned immediately upon first request to CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. if the offer is not accepted.

4. Where the contract is concluded through acceptance of a signed order or contract by the client with CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A., the service provider reserves a maximum processing period of ten working days following receipt of the order.

6. Contracts, orders, order confirmations and acceptance declarations must be in written form to be valid and may be transmitted by fax or email.

Article 3: Payment and invoicing

All interventions are payable immediately on site upon completion of the service, in cash or by bank card to the technician. The products and goods sold remain the property of CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. until full payment of their price has been received.

CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. reserves the right to repossess goods installed at the client’s premises in the event of non-payment following an intervention.

Article 4: Execution and performance deadlines towards the client

Compliance with the delivery deadline agreed in the signed contract with CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. requires that all commercial and technical issues between the parties have been resolved and that the client has fulfilled all their obligations.

Delivery deadlines offered by CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. shall only commence once these obligations and formalities required for the execution of the delivery deadline have been satisfied.

Labour disputes, riots, government actions, other cases of force majeure, and unforeseen and unavoidable obstacles beyond the direct responsibility of CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A. shall release the service provider from compliance with delivery deadlines. This also applies to unforeseen delivery failures by partners of CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A.

The service provider undertakes to inform the client without delay of the beginning and end of such disruptions.

If delivery is delayed or becomes impossible due to such circumstances without fault on the part of CORPORATE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES S.A., any claims by the client shall be excluded.

The client acknowledges having been informed that in certain cases damage may be unavoidable during emergency door opening.

Article 6: Payment for interventions

Interventions must be paid immediately after completion of the service, on site, in cash or by bank card to the technician. An invoice will be issued to the client.

If exceptionally a payment period is granted, it shall be stated on the invoice. In the absence of any contrary indication, all invoices are payable immediately upon receipt.

In the event of non-payment by the due date indicated on the invoice, or where no payment period is specified, within a maximum period of 15 days from the date of the invoice, late payment interest shall automatically apply without prior notice, in accordance with the provisions of the amended law of 18 April 2004 on payment terms and late payment interest.

In the event of non-payment by the due date, a fixed compensation of EUR 60 shall be due in respect of recovery costs.

A formal notice letter may be sent to the client after the due date. The sending of such notice shall incur additional fixed administrative fees of EUR 50.

The company reserves the right to claim additional compensation if the actual recovery costs incurred exceed the aforementioned fixed amounts.

Article 7: Acceptance of works

Any request for intervention made by telephone, email, written message or any other means of communication constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale by the client.

Any complaint relating to the work carried out must be made before the end of the intervention and immediately reported to the technician on site, in order to allow for an immediate correction if necessary.

In the absence of a complaint raised before the end of the intervention, the work shall be deemed compliant and accepted by the client.
