TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AÏKO SAS
Clause 1: Purpose
The general terms and conditions of sale described below detail the rights and obligations of AÏKO SAS and its customer with regard to the sale of the goods it offers in its catalog.
Any service provided by AÏKO SAS therefore implies the purchaser’s unreserved acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale.
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 of the order. AÏKO SAS 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 AÏKO SAS may grant on the basis of its results or the buyer’s assumption of responsibility for certain services.
Clause no. 4: Discount
No discount will be granted for early payment.

Clause 6: Late payment
In the event of total or partial non-payment for goods delivered on the date of receipt, the purchaser must pay AÏKO SAS a late payment penalty equal to three times the legal interest rate. The legal interest rate is that in force on the day of delivery of the goods. As of January 1, 2015, the legal interest rate will be revised every 6 months (Ordinance n°2014-947 of August 20, 2014). This penalty is calculated on the amount due, inclusive of tax, and runs from the due date of the price without the need for prior notice. In addition to 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 for collection costs. Articles 441-6, I paragraph 12 and D. 441-5 of the French Commercial Code.
Clause 7: Resolutory clause
If, within fifteen days of the implementation of the “Late payment” clause, the purchaser has not paid the outstanding sums, the sale will be automatically cancelled and may entitle AÏKO SAS to claim damages.
Clause 8: Retention of title clause
AÏKO SAS retains ownership of the goods sold until full payment of the price, in principal and in accessories. In this respect, if the purchaser is the subject of receivership or liquidation proceedings, AÏKO SAS 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 purchaser, or by sending a notice to the purchaser that the goods are available in the store, or at the place indicated by the purchaser on the order form. The delivery time indicated when the order is placed is given as an indication only and is in no way guaranteed. Consequently, any reasonable delay in the delivery of products shall not entitle the purchaser to claim damages or to cancel the order. Transport risk is borne entirely by the buyer. In the event of missing or damaged goods in transit, the purchaser must make all necessary reservations on the order form upon receipt of 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
AÏKO SAS cannot be held liable if the non-execution or delay in the execution of one of its obligations described in the present general terms and conditions of sale results from a case of force majeure. Force majeure is defined as any external, unforeseeable and irresistible event within the meaning of article 1148 of the French Civil Code.
Clause 11: Jurisdiction
Any dispute relating to the interpretation and execution of these terms and conditions of sale shall be governed by French law. Failing amicable resolution, the dispute will be referred to the Bordeaux Commercial Court.
