Any additional expenses resulting from the delay shall be borne by the Supplier, except in cases of force majeure. <br>In case of non-compliance with the contractual leadtimes, the buyer reserves the right to apply, without prior notice, penalties for delay equivalent to 1% of the amount excluding VAT of the order concerned per day of delay, these penalties being capped at 15% of the amount excluding VAT of the order; or to cancel the order. <br>In the event of early delivery or excess quantity, the Purchaser reserves the right either to accept the Goods or to hold the Goods at the disposal of the Supplier at its own risk or to return them to the Supplier at its own cost and risk.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 9 -

FORCE MAJEURE<\/h2>\n<p>Each party shall notify the other party in writing as soon as possible and no later than ten (10) calendar days of the occurrence of a force majeure event that prevents it from performing its obligations under the contract documents. <br>Obligations whose performance is rendered impossible by the occurrence of an event of force majeure shall be suspended for the duration of such event, subject to the provisions of the \"Termination\" article. <br>The party invoking force majeure undertakes to take all measures to limit the prejudicial consequences of this event for the other party. <br>For the application of this clause, an event meeting all of the following conditions shall not be considered as constituting a case of force majeure: <br>-beyond the control of the party invoking it; <br>-cannot be reasonably foreseen when the order is issued; <br>-Unable to be avoided by appropriate measures ; <br>-prevent the performance of an obligation. <br>The Supplier may only invoke delays of its own suppliers or subcontractors when the cause of such delays can be considered as force majeure under this clause.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 23 - SUBCONTRACTING<\/h2>\n<p>The purchaser having chosen the Supplier in consideration of its competence, the Supplier undertakes not to transfer or assign all or part of the order to a third party without the purchaser's prior written consent. <br>In case of authorization, the assignee will be considered as a full-fledged supplier and will have to comply with all the conditions provided for in the contractual documents. <br>The purchaser reserves the right to transfer or assign the order in whole or in part to any company of the ADDEV Group or in the context of a merger, demerger or partial contribution of assets, to any third party of its choice, subject to sending written notification to the supplier. <br>Supplier authorizes Buyer to make such transfers or assignments and agrees that the assignee shall be solely responsible for performance of the order from the time of notification of transfer or assignment, releasing Buyer from any contractual liability for obligations arising thereafter. <br>Supplier agrees not to subcontract all or any part of the Order to a third party without Buyer's prior written consent. <br>If the supplier is authorized to subcontract, it undertakes to pass on the obligations contained in the contract documents to its subcontractors. <br>The supplier shall remain solely liable to the purchaser for the performance of the subcontracted supply, and may not invoke the possible failings of its subcontractors to limit its liability.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 24 - EXPORTS<\/h2>\n<p>The parties agree to comply with export control laws and regulations applicable to the Supply (including Software where applicable). <br>In the event that the export, or re-export, of all or part of the Supply is subject to obtaining an export license, the supplier agrees to apply to the appropriate governmental authorities for any license or governmental authorization necessary for Buyer's use of the Supply and its delivery to customers or any other end user. <br>The Supplier shall immediately notify the Buyer of the issuance of the export license by the appropriate governmental authorities, or the existence of an exemption, and shall provide the Buyer with a copy of such license or a certificate describing, among other things, the restrictions applicable to the re-export or retransfer by the Buyer of all or part of the Supply to a third party. <br>It is specified that the notification by the supplier to the purchaser of the classification of all or part of the supply and the issuance of the export license are prerequisites for the entry into force of the order. <br>If the export license is withdrawn, not renewed or invalidated due to the supplier's fault, the purchaser reserves the right to terminate the order while retaining the right to compensation for the damage suffered as a result of this breach.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 25 - ETHICS<\/h2>\n<p>The Supplier declares that it has not violated any anti-corruption laws and regulations, that it has not been subject to any civil or criminal sanctions, in France or abroad, for violation of anti-corruption laws and regulations, and that no investigation or proceedings that could lead to such sanctions are pending against it. <br>The Supplier warrants that it complies and will comply with the legal provisions on combating bribery in accordance with the OECD Convention of 1997 and the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) of 2003, and that it has not given and will not give, directly or indirectly, any advantage whatsoever for the purpose of or in consideration of the conclusion of the order. <br>In the event of non-compliance with this clause, the purchaser may terminate the current orders with immediate effect and without compensation, in addition to any recourse it may decide to take against the supplier.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 26 - TERMINATION<\/h2>\n<p>Either party may terminate the order by sending the other party a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt in the following cases: <br>-in case of non-performance by the other party of any of its contractual obligations thirty (30) days after formal notice by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt remained without effect; <br>-in the event of the commencement of safeguard, recovery or liquidation proceedings against the other party, subject to the applicable provisions of public policy; <br>-in case of non-performance by the other party of its obligations following the occurrence of an event of force majeure whose duration would exceed one month from its notification to the other party, or resulting in a delay making the time of execution of the order incompatible with its purpose, or permanently preventing the execution of the order; <br>-in all cases provided for by the regulations in force. <br>In the event of termination of the order by the Purchaser due to the Supplier's fault, the Purchaser reserves the right to execute or have executed all or part of the order at the expense of the Supplier. <br>The supplier undertakes to communicate all the elements necessary for the realization of the Supply, on request of the purchaser. <br>In all cases of termination, for whatever reason, each party shall remain obligated to fulfill its contractual obligations until the effective date of termination, without prejudice to any damages that the complaining party may obtain as a result of the damages suffered as a result of the defaulting party's failure to perform its obligations.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 27 - DATA PROTECTION<\/h2>\n<p>If the supplier is obliged by law or by a mandatory judicial or administrative decision to disclose the purchaser's data directly or indirectly, the supplier undertakes to inform the purchaser immediately, to use all legal means at its disposal to oppose such requests and to take all necessary measures to minimize the impact of the disclosure of the stored data and to redirect the administrative or judicial authority to the purchaser. <br>In the event of a third party request for access to Buyer's data, the Supplier shall reject the request and redirect the third party to request the data directly from the Buyer. <br>The parties undertake to comply with the applicable regulations on the protection of personal data, and in particular to use personal data only for the purposes of executing the order, to put in place all necessary security measures to protect this type of data, to ensure the compliance of any transfers outside the European Union, to delete this data at the end of the period of retention agreed between the parties or at the legal deadline, and to comply with the requests of the persons concerned. <br>Each party also undertakes to notify the other party of any data breaches that have an impact on the processing of such data. <br>Within the framework of the management of their respective customer\/supplier files, the parties may transmit to each other the contact details of the persons in charge of managing their commercial relations, and thus each act as a non joint data controller.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 28 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS<\/h2>\n<p>The fact that a party does not avail itself of any of its rights under the contractual documents shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights for the future. <br>If a provision is invalid, the other provisions shall remain in force, and the parties shall endeavour to adopt a new provision that can replace the provision in question in order to maintain the contractual balance. <br>The supplier is acting in its own name and on its own behalf and has no power or authority to bind the buyer. <br>Nothing in the Contract Documents shall be construed to create between the Supplier and the Buyer any agency, joint entity, or agent\/employer Relationship.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 29 - APPLICABLE LAW<\/h2>\n<p>By express agreement between the parties, the contractual documents are subject to French law, excluding the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods.<\/p>\n<h2>ARTICLE 30 - COMPETENT JURISDICTION<\/h2>\n<p>Any dispute relating to the formation, validity, interpretation, execution, termination or resolution or their consequences, of any of the contractual documents is the exclusive competence of the Commercial Court of Lyon, except for derogatory provisions with regard to the nature of the dispute, notwithstanding plurality of defendants or appeals in warranty.<\/p>\n<p>However, the parties may by mutual agreement agree, before any referral to the court, to resort to mediation.<\/p>\n<p>The General Purchasing Conditions in French language shall prevail over any translation, should discrepancies or missing terms be identified.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Terms and Conditions of Purchase Find our General Terms and Conditions of Purchase in .pdf Download ARTICLE 1 -
