ARTICLE 2 – PROCESS OF ORDERING

Unless otherwise expressly specified, estimates are valid for 30 calendar days from the date of issue. All prices are quoted in euros, exclusive VAT or any other cost.
Unless otherwise expressly stipulated in writing, any acceptance of the offer by the Client is irrevocable and will give rise to the full payment of the price of the Mission. Accordingly,

any cancellation or termination for any reason whatsoever shall give the right to the payment of the total price, without prejudice to the right of CM-ECREATE to claim the compensation for any damages. Any termination shall be by written notice to CM-ECREATE.

The estimate of the Mission is established on the basis of the information initially provided by the Client.

ARTICLE 3 – DELAY AND DELIVERY

Delivery times are provided for information purposes only. Timeframes shall start on the working day following that of the receipt of complete information and elements from the Client to achieve the Mission.

No other compensation/indemnity will be granted to the Client.
