soon as it is commercially practicable.
5. The merchandise is shipped FOB (“Free-On-Board”), Paris, France.
6. In the event the Purchaser does not collect the purchased goods delivered to the specified destination, the Purchaser

Expenses for holding the merchandise by the forwarder are to be borne entirely by the Purchaser and the Seller reserves all rights to recover damages.
7. The price of the merchandise shall be paid upon the due date of the invoice issued by the Seller. After thirty (“30”) days have elapsed from the due date of the invoice, the Seller is authorized to impose a late payment penalty of 5% of the outstanding balance. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the higher of 5% or the prime lending rate plus 3%.
8. If the order anticipates more than one shipment, the delayed payment of a single invoice relating to each shipment will authorize the Seller to suspend indefinitely all subsequent shipments, without having to send a warning notice to the Purchaser. Additionally, the Seller reserves the right to claim damages arising on account of the Purchaser’s breach of these Conditions of Sale. Other than for breaches related to non-payment or failure to accept delivery, the Purchaser will be deemed to be in default five (“5”) business days after being notified in writing by Seller of any breach of these Conditions of Sale.

If defects are discovered, for which the Seller is deemed responsible, the Seller must immediately be informed, by means of Federal Express, Fax or some other form of expedited communication at the appropriate office at the Seller and, in all cases, within five (“5”) days of the receipt of goods so that the Seller can notify the forwarder, insurance company or any other responsible party. Such notice must specify the nature of the defect identified by Purchaser.
11. Where ordinary examination would not allow the Purchaser to discover defects in merchandise upon receipt, the Seller must be informed of such defect no later than fourteen (“14”) days from receipt of goods. Failure to notify Seller within this time period will be construed as an acceptance of the goods and a waiver of all claims regarding the condition of the goods received.
12. In no instance will Purchaser be permitted to claim any offset against payments owed on invoices to Seller, without having received a credit memo from Seller.
13. In the event that the validity of a complaint is recognized by the Seller and in the event that this complaint cannot be cured through a discount on the purchase price, the Seller, at its discretion, shall either substitute the defective merchandise, or issue a credit memo provided that the defective merchandise has been returned to the Seller. In no circumstances will the Seller be responsible for any damages to the Purchaser, including lost profits or any consequential damages, beyond the purchase price of the specific item of merchandise that is the subject of such complaint.
