OCIGO’s Products benefit from the legal guarantees provided that they have been used normally and that the maintenance advice has been followed.

This warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper use of the OCIGO Product or normal wear and tear due to its use. In order to benefit from the warranty on OCIGO Products, it is recommended that you keep the purchase invoice for the OCIGO Product as well as the delivery note.

The calibration service is not covered by the warranty and must always be quoted.

Nevertheless, in the event that the OCIGO Product returned for calibration is defective, OLYTHE will offer to replace it if the warranty is applicable. Otherwise, OLYTHE will propose the replacement of the OCIGO Product at the rates in force on the day of this proposal.

Once the calibration has been carried out, OLYTHE will return the OCIGO Product to the Customer at its own expense.

The Customer is required to check the apparent condition of the products upon delivery. In the absence of any reservations expressly made by the Customer at the time of delivery, the products delivered by OLYTHE will be deemed to be in conformity with the order in quantity and quality.

Reservations are only admissible if they are formulated by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt within three (3) working days following the receipt of the OCIGO Products by the Customer from the carrier and duly confirmed to OLYTHE, and accompanied by all supporting documents: samples, packaging labels, etc. In any case, the reservations formulated by the Customer must be precise and detailed.

Failing this, the delivery shall be deemed to have been made in conformity and without reservation.

In any case, any return will be subject to the prior written agreement of OLYTHE and the cost of return will be charged to the Customer. If OLYTHE confirms the non-conformity of the OCIGO Products, OLYTHE will replace as soon as possible and at its own expense, the delivered OCIGO Products whose non-conformity will have been duly proven by the Customer and approved by OLYTHE. In the absence of replacement, OLYTHE will reimburse the Customer.

OLYTHE’s approval or rejection will be communicated to the Customer in writing and will be determined according to the level of detail of the reservations and the analysis of OLYTHE’s technical services.
Returns of OCIGO Products accepted by OLYTHE will only be replaced (or refunded) if the OCIGO Products are returned in their original, unused condition and after verification and acceptance by OLYTHE’s after-sales service.

 

ARTICLE 10. CALIBRATION

The calibration service is not covered by the warranty and must always be quoted.

Nevertheless, in the event that the OCIGO Product returned for calibration is defective, OLYTHE will offer to replace it if the warranty is applicable. Otherwise, OLYTHE will propose the replacement of the OCIGO Product at the rates in force on the day of this proposal.

ARTICLE 11. WARRANTIES

The OCIGO Products are guaranteed for a period of one (1) year from the day of their delivery.

As such, it is the only one able to supply the original spare parts, accessories and consumables. Failing this, the warranty in this clause shall no longer apply.

Under this warranty, the only obligation incumbent on OLYTHE will be, at its choice, the free replacement or repair of the OCIGO Product or of the element recognised as defective by its services, unless this method of compensation proves impossible or disproportionate. In order to benefit from the warranty, any product must first be submitted to OLYTHE’s after-sales service, whose agreement is indispensable for any replacement or repair. The Customer is responsible for any shipping costs and will not be entitled to any compensation in case of immobilization of the goods due to the application of the warranty.

 

ARTICLE 12. INSURANCE

If the case of major force continues for a period of more than one (1) month, these general conditions may be terminated by operation of law under the conditions provided for in Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code.

In particular, fortuitous or major force events or events arising from economic circumstances (in particular wars, popular movements, epidemics, interruptions or disruptions of transport or postal services, industrial disputes, atmospheric disasters and natural disasters, major incidents affecting suppliers or subcontractors, etc.) which may affect the performance of the contract, or which may result in the cancellation of the contract, legal or governmental measures, etc.) which may cause a total or partial interruption of OLYTHE’s activity, shall entitle the Customer not only to delay delivery, but also to cancel all or part of the Order, without the Customer being able to claim any compensation for this, or to refuse partial performance.

ARTICLE 18. MISCELLANEOUS STIPULATIONS

– Tolerance

It is formally agreed that any tolerance or waiver by one of the Parties, in the application of all or part of the undertakings provided for in this Contract, whatever the frequency and duration, shall not be deemed to constitute a modification of this Contract, nor to generate any right whatsoever.

– Entirety

These provisions (including the GTU, the Order and any appendix referred to as such) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and reproduce in all respects the previous agreements, letters of intent, correspondence and proposals between them, whatever their form or designation and relating to the same subject matter, except for those listed herein.

– Severability

If any of the provisions of the Contract are invalidated in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions of the Contract shall not be affected. In this case, the Parties shall, if possible, replace the cancelled provision with a valid provision corresponding to the spirit and purpose of the Contract.

 

ARTICLE 19. APPLICABLE LAW – SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES

In the event of a dispute, French law alone shall apply, to the exclusion of the provisions of the Vienna Convention of 11 April 1980 on contracts for the international sale of goods.

For any dispute arising from the validity, interpretation, execution or termination of the contract, the Commercial Court of Aix-en-Provence shall have jurisdiction, regardless of the place of delivery, the geographical location of the

Customer or the method of payment, even in the event of a guarantee appeal or multiple defendants or summary proceedings.

Nevertheless, any dispute arising between the parties shall be subject to an attempt at amicable resolution prior to any legal action. The plaintiff shall bear the burden of proof of this attempt.
