Terms and conditions

All our contracts are governed by our special conditions and by these general conditions which prevail over any clauses or indications contained in documents (general, special or other conditions) issued by the client, regardless of when they were sent to us.

Article 1 - Offer and order

  1. Unless otherwise agreed, the validity period of our offers is one month.
  2. Any order that has not been preceded by a written offer from us will only be binding on us if we have accepted it in writing.

Article 2 - Prices

  1. Our prices are in euros, excluding VAT. Any increase in VAT or any new tax that may be imposed between the time of the order and the time of delivery will be charged to the customer.
  2. Unless otherwise stated in our offers, our prices are for delivery to our premises. If we take care of the transport or its organisation, we will invoice the customer for the transport costs.
  3. Our prices only apply to the supply and services described in the offers on the basis of the agreed specifications, to the exclusion of any other work and services that will be invoiced in addition to the planned price.
  4. Any change in the agreed specifications will only be binding on our company if it has accepted it in writing and will result, if necessary, in an increase of the initial price.

Article 3 - Payment and claims

  1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the work performed by our company is payable as follows: -30% down payment on order, the balance when the project is handed over or on print order. By way of derogation from the above, we shall also be entitled to request additional advance payments as the work progresses in the event of an order for an amount exceeding 10,000.00 euros or if the client requests a major revision of the project.
  2. Our invoices are payable in cash at our registered office, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Article 4 - Obligations of the parties and limitation of liability

  1. The customer undertakes to send us, under his responsibility, all the elements necessary (texts, photos, logos, approvals) for the execution of the contract in a finalized and usable version, as soon as the contract is concluded. The customer shall be solely liable in the event of any claim by third parties relating to the elements provided.
  2. The equipment that the customer has made available to us will be stored in our workshops at the customer's risk, who must ensure that it is insured if necessary. We cannot be held liable for any loss or theft.

We cannot be held liable if there are differences between the computer visualization and the final result of the products. The reproduction of colours visible on a screen and on another medium can in no way be guaranteed.

Article 5 - Time limits for execution

We are entitled to terminate the agreement, ipso jure, by notifying the customer of our intention by registered letter, in the event of serious breach by the customer of one of his contractual obligations, in particular, if there are payment delays of an invoice for more than 30 calendar days, or if it appears that he will not perform or seriously risks not performing one of his main obligations, even before this obligation is due, in particular in the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or judicial reorganisation.
