the intended condition of use.
1.3 Client validation of the order is deemed to be an acceptance of the present conditions, prices and product packaging, with full knowledge of the
associated facts and without any reservations. If an ordered product is not available, the Client will be informed and have the option to cancel the order
or be offered a replacement product.

In the case where the prices are increased due to currency fluctuations, the Client may cancel the order, without indemnity, if such cancellation takes place within the seven days after placing the order. After that period, the order will be considered to be definitive at the new price.
ARTICLE 3 : PAYMENT – RETENTION OF OWNERSHIP
3.1 All sums paid by the Client, in advance with the order, are considered down-payments and not deposits. The payments modalities are: cheque, bank transfer. The Client guarantees SAS AXELIFE that he has the authority to use the payment method chosen when the purchase order is validated. Each payment must be made in the same currency as that of the invoice. In the case where a cheque is used, payment will only be considered complete when the cheque has cleared the bank. The Purchaser will be responsible for objecting, by all legal means, attempts by third parties to seize, confiscate, or in any way take possession of the purchased goods. As soon as he is aware of any such attempts, he must advise the vendor so that the Vendor can protect his interests. An invoice will be created and issued for each delivery. Invoices issued by AXELIFE SAS are
payable before the product delivery date.
3.2 The Client shall not reduce the amount indicated on the invoices, by any sums that AXELIFE SAS may owe him. In the case of a deferred, or late,
payment, three times the legal interest rate, applicable from the day following the due date indicated on each invoice, will be applied. The Client shall also be responsible for all fees incurred to collect contentious payment.
3.2 In the event that sums, owed under the sales contract, are not paid by the invoice due date, as well as non-execution of any of the Purchaser’s commitments, shall automatically lead to a request for all sums owed and the Vendor reserves the right to suspend execution of his own obligations until complete payment of arrears, and, if the Vendor so chooses, eight days after notification, by registered mail goes unheeded, the sales contract will be automatically cancelled without the requirement for any legal formalities. Recall of the product, by the Vendor, automatically means the Purchaser must pay for damages due to depreciation and unavailability of the concerned goods, for any reason whatsoever. In consequence, the Purchaser must, under the penal law, pay an indemnity of 1.5% of the agreed price, for every month he withholds recalled goods. If contract cancellation renders the Vendor a debtor for down-payments previously-received from the Purchaser, he will be authorised to pay that debt from the funds owed under the aforementioned penal clause. In the case of a total, or partial, payment default, the Purchaser must pay the Vendor a late fee equal to three times the legal interest rate applicable, in France, on the product delivery date. This late fee will be calculated from the amount still owed, excluding taxes, and will be applied from the payment due-date, without any prior formal notice being required. There will no compensation by reciprocal credits other than that specified above.
