Clause 1: Purpose

The general conditions of sale described below detail the rights and obligations of the T3S company (Tecnic Sérigraphie service) and its customer within the framework of the sale of the goods having been the subject of a request for price
Any service performed by the company T3S (Tecnic Sérigraphie Service) therefore implies the buyer’s unreserved acceptance of these general conditions of sale.

The placing of an order by the Buyer obligatorily entails its waiver of any General Terms and Conditions of Purchase or of any provision contrary to these Terms and Conditions. Orders are firm and final and no cancellation or modification will be possible without the Vendor’s prior written acceptance. Unless it is demonstrated that the cancellation is the Vendor’s fault, any deposits paid will be retained by the Vendor as damages.

if no complaint has been made one month after delivery, the order will be deemed to be compliant

Clause 2: Price

The prices of the goods sold are those in force on the day the order is taken. They are denominated in euros and calculated exclusive of tax. Consequently, they will be increased by the VAT rate and transport costs applicable on the day the order is placed.

T3S reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. However, it undertakes to invoice the goods ordered at the prices indicated when the order is registered.

Clause 3: Discounts and rebates

The prices quoted include any discounts and rebates that T3S may grant on the basis of its results or the assumption of responsibility by the purchaser for certain services.

Clause 4: Discount

Aucun escompte ne sera consenti en cas de paiement anticipé

No discount will be granted for early payment.

Orders are paid for as follows

– Either by cheque or by bank transfer within 30 days of the end of the month on the 15th.
For all first orders, the buyer must pay the full amount of the invoice on the basis of a proforma invoice, unless previously agreed with T3S.

Clause 6: Late payment

In the event of total or partial non-payment of the goods delivered on the date of receipt, the buyer must pay T3S a late payment penalty equal to three times the legal interest rate.

The legal interest rate is that in force on the date of delivery of the goods.

From 1 January 2015, the legal interest rate will be revised every 6 Months (Order no. 204-947 of 20 August 2014).

This penalty is calculated on the amount outstanding, inclusive of tax, and runs from the due date of the price without the need for any prior formal notice.

In addition to the late payment penalties, any sum, including the deposit, not paid by the due date will automatically give rise to the payment of a fixed penalty of 40 euros, due as recovery costs.

Clause 7: Resolutory clause

If, within fifteen days of the implementation of the “Late payment” clause, the buyer has not paid the outstanding sums, the sale will be cancelled by operation of law and may give rise to a claim for damages against T3S.

Clause 8: Retention of title clause

T3S retains ownership of the goods sold until full payment of the price, in principal and in accessories. In this respect, if the buyer is the subject of receivership or liquidation proceedings, T3S reserves the right to claim, within the framework of the receivership proceedings, the goods sold and remaining unpaid.

Clause 9: Delivery

Delivery is made

• Either by handing over the goods directly to the buyer
• at the location indicated by the buyer on the order form

– Allocation of damages Cancellation of the order
– The transport risk is borne in full by the buyer, except for export sales.

In the event of missing or damaged goods during transport, the purchaser must make all necessary reservations on the order form upon receipt of the said goods. These reservations must also be confirmed in writing within five days of delivery, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

Clause 10: Force majeure

T3S may not be held liable if the non-execution or delay in the execution of one of its obligations described in these general terms and conditions of sale results from a case of force majeure. In this respect, force majeure refers to any external, unforeseeable and irresistible event within the meaning of Article 1148 of the French Civil Code.

Clause 11: Delivery tolerance

Due to manufacturing uncertainties, we are not obliged to provide our customers with the exact quantities ordered. The tolerances allowed on the quantities ordered and which the buyer is obliged to accept are limited to the following percentages to be applied to the figure indicated on the print order, or on the quantity appearing on the order if there was no print order: from 5 to 10% depending on the media. These tolerance percentages apply to work carried out in one or two colours. These percentages are doubled for work carried out in three or four-colour process on one or both sides.

Clause 12: Guarantees
