The Products and Services offered by Digitalli are intended for use for professional purposes only, within the framework of the Client’s industrial, artisanal, liberal or agricultural activity, which is considered to be a professional (commerçant) within the meaning of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).

However, should DIGITALLI and the Client decide, for one particular sale, to depart from some of the provisions of the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which form an integrated whole, DIGITALLI and the Client shall conclude a mutual agreement in writing setting forth the amendments to the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale, within 10 days following the date of the order confirmation.

Any amendment not concluded as set forth above shall be deemed null and void. In any case, the Client shall not be able to take advantage of any such amendment for other sales.

Article 2 – Order

An estimate can be established by DIGITALLI and communicated to the Client. The prices and conditions indicated for the Products and Services will only be valid for the period of validity mentioned on the quote and may be modified by DIGITALLI after the expiration of this period.

Orders may be taken directly by the Client with DIGITALLI, or through the sales agents or representatives named by DIGITALLI, if any.

The final order shall be sent in writing by the Client to DIGITALLI or its sales agent.

The order is taken in the form of written confirmation by the Client of the quote previously transmitted by DIGITALLI. The sending by the Client of a written acceptance of the quote does not constitute a confirmation of the order, and it is up to DIGITALLI to confirm the order in writing.

Otherwise, the order must be placed in writing by the Client and shall necessarily feature:

• The reference or description of the article;

• The quantity ordered for each item

• The applicable price in euros upon the day of the order:

Any derogation must be mentioned on the order confirmation which will be sent to the Client.

Prices are indicated in Euros and calculated excluding taxes. As a consequence, they will be increased of the applicable VAT rate, subject to the VAT regime applicable to export sale.

DIGITALLI will be able to modify its sale prices at any time, which the Client expressly accepts. However, DIGITALLI commits to invoice the Products or Services ordered by the Client at the prices indicated when the order was placed. Besides, transport prices as well as the rates and amounts of any taxes or deductions that may be applicable may vary. DIGITALLI will inform its Clients as soon as possible, it being reminded that these costs are not fixed by DIGITALLI and are not under its responsibility. Transport costs, as well as taxes and deductions indicated in the order confirmation are communicated as an indication and may, if necessary, be modified.

Regarding Services, DIGITALLI may ask to receive a variable remuneration, in addition to the price of the Services. This variable remuneration will be agreed in good faith between the parties and must be the object of a written agreement. It may, for example, take into account performance criteria or the progress of a project, and be based on the turnover achieved by the Client in the context of a project in which DIGITALLI is involved.

Article 4 – Delivery of the Products and delay in shipment

Delivery is made by the handing over to the first transporter designated by DIGITALLI, unless otherwise agreed upon. In any case, transportation is at the exclusive cost of the Client, unless otherwise agreed upon on the order confirmation sent to the Client and subject to Article 3 above.

Should DIGITALLI find that the announced delivery date cannot be respected, DIGITALLI undertakes to inform the Client at least 2 days before the planned date. In this case, the parties will meet to mutually agree upon a new delivery date.

DIGITALLI reserves the right to send the order in one or several deliveries depending on the availability of its stock. Deliveries are carried out on the basis of availability and sequentially as orders are received. Shipment dates, windows or periods are indicated as precisely as possible but depend on DIGITALLI’s procurement and shipment possibilities. DIGITALLI may ship the goods until the last day of the shipment period or window mentioned on the order confirmation. In case of delayed shipment of the goods, inferior to 3 weeks after the period or window indicated on the order confirmation, or the new date agreed upon in accordance with the above paragraph, the Client shall not be allowed to claim any damages, nor to ask that the order be cancelled.

Save for force majeure events, for which Article 11 below shall apply, in case of delay in shipment, superior to 3 weeks after the end of the delivery period indicated on the order confirmation or the new date agreed upon in accordance with the above paragraph, the Client shall ask DIGITALLI in writing to deliver the goods, by email or registered letter with return receipt.

If the shipment has not been carried out at the expiration of this 6-week period, the Client shall have the faculty to ask for the cancellation of the sale (save for the Products already delivered in accordance with the applicable conditions and subject to Article 8-2 below), and to the exclusion of any other indemnity whatsoever.

In any case, no cancellation will be accepted for restocking orders, even in the absence of shipment within the 6-week period set forth above.

Only the damage mentioned in these reservations will be considered as existing at the time of delivery. Any claim for non-conformity or missing Product upon delivery must be notified by the Client to DIGITALLI within 48 hours of the delivery note by registered letter. After this period, no claim can be taken into consideration.

Similarly, the Client will personally take care of any insurance coverage against all risk of loss or damage caused by or to the Products.

In case the return is authorized by DIGITALLI, the Product must be returned in its original packaging, otherwise DIGITALLI can refuse the return. DIGITALLI also reserves the right to refuse the return of a Product if this not allowed by the agreements between DIGITALLI and the supplier of the Product. DIGITALLI will indicate to the Client the maximum period of time within which the Product whose return is authorized must be received by DIGITALLI, taking into account the return conditions of DIGITALLI’s suppliers. The respect of this deadline is an essential condition for DIGITALLI to take charge of the return. If this deadline is not met, the return will be considered as refused by DIGITALLI.

Products returned without prior formal approval of DIGITALLI shall be held available to the Client, provided the Client does not remain liable of any sum whatsoever to DIGITALLI, and shall not give rise to any credit note.

In case of any apparent defect or non-conformity of the Products delivered (whose return has been authorized by DIGITALLI), as duly ascertained by DIGITALLI under the conditions set forth above, the return shall give rise to the replacement of the Products, or, if such replacement is not possible (especially for Products manufactured in limited edition or upon special request of the Client), to a credit note, to the exclusion of any other indemnity from any reason whatsoever from DIGITALLI.

Return costs shall be borne by the Client. In the event the Products turn out to be indeed defective and a replacement Product is provided to the Client by DIGITALLI, DIGITALLI will bear the cost of delivery of the replacement Product.

Similarly, all orders for export must be paid for in full upon confirmation of the order.

Any derogation to the payment terms set forth above shall be made in the form of a written mutual agreement, according to the conditions set out in Article 1 of the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale. If necessary, a payment schedule will be transmitted by DIGITALLI to the Client with the order confirmation.

The Client shall not be entitled to ask for an amendment of the payment terms once the order has been confirmed.

Any acceptance or verification procedures used to certify the conformity of the goods sent to the Client by DIGITALLI shall not have the effect of either increasing the duration or shifting the starting point of the maximum payment period provided for above.

In accordance with Article 1 of the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale, any waiver to the payment terms set forth above shall be mutually agreed upon in writing between DIGITALLI and the Client within 10 days following the date of the order confirmation.

In the case of payment of the adverse balance, DIGITALLI will make the shipment within the limit of available stock. As a consequence, DIGITALLI shall not be responsible for any missing piece or delay in shipment.

Article 9 – Sanctions for delay in payment or non-payment

Delay in payment is defined as a payment made after the date agreed upon between the parties.

In case of delay in payment, DIGITALLI is expressly entitled to apply an interest rate which shall not be inferior to three times the legal rate in force in France. (The reference rate is that applied by the European Central Bank to its most recent refinancing operation with a 10-point increase).

This interest shall be calculated on the amount of the invoice including taxes.

This penalty shall be due without necessity of a prior reminder, and shall be due upon the day following the payment date set forth on the invoice.

In case of late payment, the Client will also owe DIGITALLI a fixed indemnity for collection costs of 40 €.

In the absence of payment of an invoice upon due date, without necessity for DIGITALLI to send a prior letter of formal notice:

– all sums owed for any cause will be payable immediately;
– all subsequent orders may be cancelled, and shipment of ongoing orders may be delayed.

In case of cancellation, DIGITALLI shall recover the free disposal of the Products, without prejudice to all damages and interest on arrears. The Client shall reimburse all costs incurred in connection with recovery at law of the amounts owed, including the fees of any ministerial officers.

Article 10 – Ownership reserve clause

Transfer of ownership on the delivered Products is delayed until the complete payment of the invoiced price as well as of any additional interests and charges resulting from the delivery. The absence of payment of any invoice will result on the claim of property of the Products by DIGITALLI and the cancellation of the sale if DIGITALLI decides so. Provision of a bill exchange or any other bill leading to an obligation to pay does not replace a payment.

The Client may, at its risks and subject to prior written approval of DIGITALLI, dispose of the Products delivered provided it then pays to DIGITALLI the corresponding amounts remaining owed and informs the purchaser of the retention of title over the Products and of DIGITALLI’s right to claim either the return of the disputed Products from the Client or the payment of the price pursuant to article L.624-16 of the French commercial code.

The Client or its representative may not grant any security interest over the Products without prior approval of DIGITALLI. In the event of attachment of the Products by a third party, the Client shall immediately inform DIGITALLI.

In any case, the risks are supported by the Client as of the date of shipment ex-works, under applicable Incoterms.

Article 11 – Force majeure

Justified inability for DIGITALLI to deliver, due to a force majeure event or unpredictable delay in the delivery of its raw materials or defective deliveries of its providers or services provides, exempts DIGITALLI from any contractual liability. DIGITALLI reserves the right to cancel the orders.

Then, the Client shall not be entitled to claim that DIGITALLI ships the Products on the date previously confirmed, or ask for any indemnity whatsoever.

Any act, fact or event, which delays or prevents in a compelling manner the performance by a party of any of its obligations, which is outside the will of such party and could not be predicted by it, is deemed a force majeure event.

The following shall be considered as force majeure events / Acts of God (without this list being exhaustive):
– Fire, flooding or any other accident causing the total or partial destruction of DIGITALLI, its premises, its stocks or supplies, or the shutdown of its operation;
– Strike or lock-out, without any requirement to seek to discover whether the movement was instigated by the management or work force;
– The lack of driving force or raw materials, resulting from a cause of general order, such as interruption of transportation or electric power, or break of engines;
– Epidemics, pandemics, such as covid-19, as well as all health measures ordered within the framework of such epidemics or pandemics.
– Any other cause out of the will of DIGITALLI resulting in a suspension of work.

Facts listed in the above paragraph shall be deemed force majeure events when they strike any other entity the execution of the sale depends upon.

If the impeachment is temporary, the performance of the obligations of DIGITALLI is suspended. If necessary, the parties may discuss in good faith a written agreement, to set forth the conditions under which DIGITALLI shall perform its obligations, from the end of the impeachment.

If the force majeure event definitively prevents any performance of the agreement, DIGITALLI reserves the right to cancel the order(s), provided it informs the Client in writing.
