2. COMMON CONDITIONS

These general conditions apply to all the services offered by the Service Provider Company. 
These conditions prevail over all the other purchasing conditions.

Accordingly, the taking of the order equates to adhesion in full with these general conditions of sale and the unconditional acceptance of all of their provisions. With the purpose of satisfying the Customer, the Service Provider Company may be called upon to amend these general conditions and their product ranges.

The Service Provider Company is exempted from any liability in the partial or total performance of the agreement resulting from a fortuitous event such as, for example, total or partial strikes, lock-outs, floods, terrorist attacks or other serious adverse events. The Service Provider Company, however, may not be held liable for any direct or indirect damage that may result from this cancellation. Furthermore, in the event of an inability to take the scheduled cruise for any reason whatsoever (mechanical failure, extreme tides, extreme weather, administrative ban, etc.), a price reduction may be applied to the Customer according to the following rule: 
- should the cruise route be changed: 10% (ten per cent) reduction in the total service amount, 
- should it be impossible to sail (the boat remaining docked): reduction of 15% (fifteen percent) of the total service amount. 

2.5 Insurance/Liability 
The Service Provider Company declares that is duly insured by a notably solvent company for its public operating liability, particularly in the event of food poisoning and in relation to riverway transport of passengers. The Service Provider Company reserves the right to invoice the Customer for any damage caused on board by the Customer themselves or a member of their group. Since the cruises are subject to the rules of river sailing, the Service Provider Company reserves the right to assess the practicable character of the navigable routes. The cruises may be cancelled or changed at any time once the reservation is made, including at the time of departure or during the sail, in application of the above-mentioned rules or in the event of extreme weather likely to endanger the safety of the persons transported. The Service Provider Company declines any liability in respect of the consequences of passengers’ failing to comply with the above rules and police regulations, without prejudice to any damages payments that may be claimed due to the loss they occurred due to this failure to comply. The Service Provider Company may not be held liable for the direct or indirect damage incurred by passengers during the cruise if the latter was caused by one of the following: flash flooding, storms, collision with another boat responsible for the accident, even partially, and any other unforeseeable event. 

2.6 Force Majeure 
The Service Provider Company reserves the right to cancel a service in the event of force majeure (extreme tides, fire, explosion, collapse, natural disaster, administrative constraints, etc.) or any other fact out of its control affecting the site or its vicinity, obliging it to stop its commercial activity as Ducasse sur Seine, temporarily or permanently. The Service Provider Company is exempt from any liability in the partial or total performance of the agreement resulting from an act of force majeure such as, for example, floods, fires, terrorist attacks or other causes|. The Service Provider Company shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect loss resulting from a cancellation resulting from an act of force majeure. 

2.7 Sale price 
Prices are quoted in euros, excl. VAT or incl. VAT. 
The prices can be revised at any time without prior notice. The prices invoiced are those in force on the day of the order. They are subject to the VAT rates in force applicable on the day of the service. Any new taxes/duties or charges that may be created or any change in the current charges or taxes would automatically lead to the prices being readjusted. It is up to the Customer to assess whether the price suits them before validating the order. No subsequent objection to the price may be taken into consideration. 

2.8 Payment methods 
The Service Provider Company accepts inter-bank transfers, payments in cash in euros, cheques drawn exclusively on a bank branch domiciled in France and certain gift vouchers issued by the Service Provider Company or bankcards approved by the reservation department or indicated at the location’s reception. The services may also be delivered in exchange for an (exchange) voucher issued by a company which MUST be approved by the Service Provider Company. 

2.9 Conditions of sale of the giftboxes 
The giftboxes distributed by the Service Provider Company are valid 12 (twelve) months from the day of purchase. Beyond the limit data giftboxes may be neither reimbursed nor exchanged. The reservations for the giftbox services are mandatory and are made subject to the sites’ availability. The giftboxes MUST be presented at the site’s reception on the day of the service. The reservations recorded may be amended or cancelled under the same conditions as those detailed in article 1. 4 and 1. 5 of these general conditions of sale. If the customers or beneficiaries are not present on the day of the reservation, the giftboxes may be neither reimbursed nor exchanged. The giftboxes must be paid for in full when the order is placed and can be sent subject to the payment being collected Lost or stolen giftboxes may be neither exchanged nor reimbursed. 

2.10 Failure to pay 
In the event of agreement on a cost estimate for payment, any payment delay shall, as of right, give rise to late-payment penalties being invoiced. Article L.441.6 of the French Commercial Code specifies that late-payment penalties may be demanded without need for a reminder. These late payment penalties shall be applied on the due date of the principal at the date of the actual payment in full. In accordance with the Law on Modernising the Economy (LME), which came into force on 1 January 2009, the late-payment rate applied is 3% per annum. Any partial objection to the invoice may under no circumstances justify failure to pay the entire service covered by these general conditions. The only failure to pay which will be admitted may relate solely to the amount objected to, subject to the latter being objectively justified and notified to the Service Provider Company by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. 

2.11 The Service Provider Company’s Internal regulations 
These general conditions of sale are completed by the internal regulations of the various locations of the services with which the customer undertakes to comply: behaviour, dress code, prudence and security rules, etc.
