PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS
All our purchasing orders are subject to the general terms described below. The fact of accepting our purchasing order implies relinquishing the general terms of sale of the Supplier, the adoption of the special terms of the order and the present general terms.
Dispensations to the present terms may be granted by common agreement between ourselves and the Supplier, providing that they are written on the order. These dispensations will be applied exclusively to the order in question without the Supplier being able to benefit from them for other business. All material or work supplied in producing this order must be in conformity both with the applicable stipulations, with the codes and standards prescribed and the rules of the art of the profession.


ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS
We are only validly committed by an order issued in the proper way by our Purchasing Dept. The order will become final only after we have received the acknowledgement attached to our order, duly approved and stamped with Supplier's sales stamp. No commercial or technical modification to our order may be made on this acknowledgement, unless in case of prior express agreement from us, in the form of a separate amendment. If the acknowledgement is not returned within 8 days following the issue of the order, we reserve the right to cancel it by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. In this case, the Supplier relinquishes any claim to compensation from us. The acknowledgement must be sent to the address mentioned on the order form.
