TERMS & CONDITIONS
The following Terms & Conditions of Sale will govern all sales transactions except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the buyer and LTA MEDICAL.
1. APPLICATION AND ENFORCEABILITY
These general terms and conditions of sale govern all sales contracts concluded between LTA Médical and its customers. Consequently, the fact of placing an order implies the full and unreserved acceptance by the buyer of these general terms and conditions of sale. The application of any general terms and conditions of the buyer is expressly excluded.
2. ORDER TAKING
Orders are placed by fax, mail or internet. The sales contract between LTA Médical and the buyer only takes effect once the order has been the subject of written confirmation by LTA Médical. In the absence of such written confirmation, the contract may also come into effect upon shipment of the order to the buyer.
3. PRICES
Invoices are established according to the price in effect on the date of delivery. All prices indicated on the invoice are expressed in Euros excluding tax, for delivery in Metropolitan France.
4. PAYMENT – TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Payment terms are 30 days net from the date of invoice without discount, unless otherwise specified. Any amount not paid within these deadlines shall automatically give rise to the granting of late payment penalties in the form of late payment interest calculated at a rate equal to the most recent refinancing rate of the European Central Bank increased by ten percentage points on the day of invoicing of this late payment interest. These penalties will run until full payment is made. Failure to meet a single deadline will automatically result in the immediate payment of all outstanding receivables. Similarly, failure to meet a single deadline may result, at the sole initiative of LTA Médical, in a request for payment upon placing an order for any new order. Late payment will also entitle LTA Médical to fixed compensation for recovery costs due to the creditor in the event of late payment, in accordance with Article 121-II of Law No. 2012-387 of 22 March 2012. This compensation is currently set at 40 euros by Decree No. 2012-1115 of 2 October 2012.

All our goods, even those shipped free of charge, travel at the buyer’s risk to the requested place of delivery.
6. DELIVERY TIMES
Delivery times are given as an indication only and there can be no compensation for late deliveries.
7. PARTIAL DELIVERIES
