General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTCS)

Clause No. 1: Purpose

The general terms and conditions of sale described below detail the rights and obligations of DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL SAS and its customer in connection with the sale of the following goods: 330ml and 1000ml cartons of mineral water, as well as 500ml bottles of natural mineral water.
Any service provided by DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL SAS therefore implies the buyer's unreserved acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale.

Clause No. 2: Price

The prices of goods sold are those in effect on the day the order is placed. They are denominated in euros and calculated excluding taxes. Consequently, they will be increased by the VAT rate and shipping costs applicable on the day of the order at the time of checkout. 
DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL 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 placed.

Clause No. 3: 

Discounts and rebates
The prices quoted include any discounts and rebates that DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL SAS may grant based on its results or the buyer's assumption of certain services.
Discounts and rebates may be granted to major accounts as part of a development strategy, but they will always be subject to the signing of a specific contract. 

Clause No. 4: Discount
No discount will be granted for early payment.

Clause No. 5: Terms of payment

Payment for orders is made:

By bank transfer before shipment or by credit card. 

Clause No. 6: Late payment

In the event of total or partial non-payment for goods delivered on the date of receipt, the buyer must pay DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL SAS a late payment penalty equal to the legal interest rate.
The legal interest rate applied is that in force on the date of delivery of the goods.

As of January 1, 2015, the legal interest rate will be revised every six months (Order No. 2014-947 of August 20, 2014).
This penalty is calculated on the basis of the total amount including tax remaining due, and runs from the due date of the price without any prior formal notice being necessary.
In addition to late payment penalties, any amount, including the deposit, not paid on its due date shall automatically give rise to the payment of a fixed compensation of €40 for recovery costs.
Articles 441-6, I paragraph 12 and D. 441-5 of the Commercial Code.

Clause No. 7: Termination clause

If, within fifteen days of the implementation of the "Late Payment" clause, the buyer has not paid the outstanding amounts, the sale will be automatically terminated and may give rise to the award of damages to DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL SAS.

Clause No. 8: Retention of Title Clause

DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL SAS retains ownership of the goods sold until full payment of the price, including principal and incidental costs. As such, if the buyer is subject to receivership or judicial liquidation, DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL SAS reserves the right to claim, within the framework of the collective proceedings, the goods sold and remaining unpaid.

Clause No. 9: Delivery

Delivery is made:

    either by direct delivery of the goods to the buyer;
or by sending a notice of availability in store to the buyer;
or to the location indicated by the buyer on the order form.

The delivery time indicated when the order is placed is for information purposes only and is not guaranteed.
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 buyer bears full responsibility for any risks associated with shipping.
In the event of missing or damaged goods during transport, the buyer must note 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, via email with a return receipt requested, to the following address: [email protected]

Clause No. 10: Force majeure

DROPBYDROP INTERNATIONAL SAS cannot be held liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of its obligations described in these general terms and conditions of sale results from a case of force majeure. In this respect, force majeure refers to any external, unforeseeable, and unavoidable event within the meaning of Article 1148 of the Civil Code.

Clause No. 11: Competent court

Any dispute relating to the interpretation and execution of these general terms and conditions of sale shall be subject to French law.

In the absence of an amicable resolution or a contrary provision signed with the customer, the dispute shall be brought before the Commercial Court of Paris, France.
