CONDITIONS FOR EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE RENTAL
Any rental signifies the client’s full agreement to the present general rental conditions and nullifies any document originating with the client even if FORMESPACE has been made aware of it.
Article 1: ordering
The client must place the order in writing indicating the quantity and the reference numbers of the furniture or equipment rented , the agreed price, the dates, and the rental location. The order becomes final once the client has signed the order confirmation or the estimate drawn up by FORMESPACE with the general rental conditions attached. The same will be true for any request for modification and/or additional order. Payment for the entire order, including insurance charges, must accompany the order. Any order which does not include payment cannot be honoured. All first-time orders from a new client must also include its business and banking information in order to establish its account. If not, the order cannot be accepted by FORMESPACE.
Article 2: changes – cancellation
Circumstances such as problems arising from availability of inventory and fabrication turn-around may sometimes lead FORMESPACE to substitute furniture and equipment of quality identical to that ordered. The client is considered to have accepted it unless this replacement material has been refused at the time of receipt of the order confirmation. The client will remain liable for any order cancelled, even partially, and will be billed for the entire amount . By special arrangement, FORMESPACE may accept a cancellation in writing, which will, in any case, give rise to the billing of a withdrawal penalty equivalent to 20% of the total amount of the order, including tax.
Article 3: pricing
All prices listed by FORMESPACE, including those listed on its electronic sales site, are understood to be in Euros, not including taxes or discounts, and for the duration of less than 10 days. Transportation is included only for fairs and trade shows taking place within a radius of 40km of our warehouse. Transportation is not included in other cases.
Article 4: late fees
In cases of payment past due, the client will automatically be assessed without notification. A late fee equivalent to two times the legal interest rate in effect on the due date. If one bill payment is missed, all other bills due or not yet due become immediately payable without notification of further procedure.
Article 5: delivery – return
Delivery of the equipment is performed by FORMESPACE under the conditions set forth in the order confirmation forwarded to the client. The client is responsible for the equipment rented from the time of its delivery until its return. Equipment rented in good condition must be used as intended and the client promises not to treat it or let it be treated in a way which may damage it. The client is liable for any damage, loss, or theft of the equipment which may occur. The client must make all arrangements necessary to ensure against these risks, and generally speaking, against any damage for which he or she will be held responsible. In case of damage, the client will be liable for paying the cost of repair or replacement of the items if they cannot be repaired. The equipment or furniture must be restored to FORMES¨PACE empty of all its contents as of the close of the event. FORMESPACE will in no case become liable for the loss or damage to objects which were not removed from the furniture rented. The equipment or furniture remains the exclusive property of FORMESPACE and may not be moved, transferred, or lent in any way.
Article 6: insurance fees
An insurance fee will cover the renter against risks of theft (provided that a report ahs been filed), or damage from the day preceding the official opening until the closing day. If the renter declines the insurance, he or she assumes full liability in case of damage or loss of the equipment.
Article 7: penalty clause
If the client’s insolvency makes a judicial collection necessary, the client promises to pay, in addition to the principal amount, costs, expenses, and fees ordinarily and legally owed by the client, damages set at 20% of the principal amount including taxes.
Article 8 : law and assignment of jurisdiction
Contracts entered into by FORMESPACE are subject to french law. In cases of problems of interpretation or execution of the present document, even in cases of appeal concerning guarantee or plurality of defendants, the Limoges Tribunal of Commerce has sole jurisdiction.
