Clause No. 1: Purpose

The general terms and conditions of sale described below outline the rights and obligations of the company Riki le Plectrier and its customer in relation to the sale of the following goods: accessories for musicians.

Any service provided by the company Riki le Plectrier therefore implies the buyer's full acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale.

The prices of the goods sold are those in effect on the day the order is placed. They are stated in euros and calculated excluding taxes. Consequently, they will be increased by the VAT rate and the applicable shipping fees on the day of the order.

The company Riki le Plectrier reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. However, it undertakes to invoice the goods ordered at the prices indicated at the time the order is placed.

Clause No. 3: Discounts and Rebates

The proposed prices include any discounts and rebates that the company Riki le Plectrier may grant based on its results or the buyer's assumption of certain services.

Clause No. 4: Discount

No discount will be granted for early payment.

Clause No. 5: Payment Terms

Orders can be paid for by:

• by cheque;
• by credit card;
• by Paypal;

If full or partial payment of the goods delivered on the day of receipt is not made, the buyer must pay a late fee to the company Riki le Plectrier equal to three times the legal interest rate.

The legal interest rate used is that in effect on the day the goods are delivered.

As of January 1, 2015, the legal interest rate will be revised every 6 months (Ordinance No. 2014-947 of August 20, 2014).
This penalty is calculated on the total amount including VAT of the outstanding sum and runs from the due date of the price without any prior formal notice being required.

In addition to late fees, any sum, including the deposit, not paid by its due date will automatically incur a fixed compensation of 40 euros for recovery costs.
Articles 441-6, I paragraph 12 and D. 441-5 of the French Commercial Code.

Clause No. 7: Resolutory Clause

If within fifteen days following the implementation of the "Late Payment" clause, the buyer has not paid the outstanding amounts, the sale will be automatically terminated and may entitle the company Riki le Plectrier to claim damages.

Clause No. 8: Retention of Title Clause

The company Riki le Plectrier retains ownership of the goods sold until full payment of the price, including principal and accessories. Therefore, if the buyer undergoes a reorganization or liquidation proceeding, the company Riki le Plectrier reserves the right to reclaim, as part of the collective procedure, the goods sold and unpaid.

 

Consequently, any reasonable delay in the delivery of the products shall not entitle the buyer to:

• the award of damages;
• the cancellation of the order.

The risk of transportation is fully borne by the buyer.

In the case of missing or damaged goods during transport, the buyer must make all necessary reservations on the order form upon receipt of the said goods. These reservations must also be confirmed in writing within five days of delivery, by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt.

The responsibility of the company Riki le Plectrier cannot be invoked if the non-performance or delay in performance of any of its obligations described in these general terms and conditions is due to a force majeure event. Force majeure is understood as any external, unforeseeable, and irresistible event as defined in Article 1148 of the French Civil Code.

Any dispute regarding the interpretation or execution of these general terms and conditions of sale is governed by French law.

 

In the absence of an amicable resolution, the dispute will be brought before the Commercial Court.
