GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

 

1. INTRODUCTION


Arcure is a company incorporated under the Laws of France as a joint stock company (société anonyme - S.A.), with a share capital of 582 524,90 euros and its registered office located at 108 avenue Roger Salengro - 91600 SAVIGNY-SUR-ORGE, France, the company is registered under the number B 519 060 131 with the Trade and Companies Register of Bobigny . Arcure is a company that offers complete solutions for danger zones around moving heavy vehicles and in particular off-the-shelf systems for video detection of pedestrians intended for moving industrial heavy vehicles and various associated services (hereinafter the "Products"). The Products are based on an alarm system, which in no way reduces the liability of the driver and their employer in the event of a collision; the detection system offered by the Products is designed to be used as a complement to the safety practices already deployed. The Products are not designed to detect small objects. As with any detection system, it is always possible that an object or a pedestrian may not be detected. Thus, the supervision and control of the vehicle as well as operational safety remain the responsibility of the driver and the authorities responsible for the organisation of safety.

12.2. Warranty 

12.2.1. Purpose of the warranty against hidden defects 

A hidden defect shall mean a hidden defect in the Product that renders the relevant Product unfit for purpose and that was not capable of being revealed to the Purchaser at the time of delivery. The warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of the defective parts or reimbursement for the Product and shall exclude compensation for any other damage. Pursuant to the warranty against hidden defects, the Seller shall only be obligated to replace, at its expense, the defective Products, without the Purchaser being able to claim any damages, for any reason whatsoever.

This warranty shall be limited to hidden defects that appear within a period of two (2) years following the delivery of the Product.

The Purchaser may only benefit from the warranty if it notifies the Seller by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within a time-limit of fifteen (15) clear days from the discovery of the defect and within the time-limit referenced in Article 12.2.2. The notice shall be required to include a description of the defect, under penalty of the Purchaser losing the benefit of the warranty.

Repairs shall be conducted at the place where the Product is located, unless the Seller deems it more appropriate that the Product should be sent to it or sent to another location it has specified.  In the event that the Product is repaired on the Seller's premises, once the Seller has notified the Purchaser of the quote, the Purchaser shall have three (3) months from the date of such notification to accept it; failing which, and subject to an unsuccessful formal notice, the Seller may freely dispose of the Product, which shall be considered abandoned, without any particular formality to be performed, nor compensation to be paid to the Purchaser.
