Terms & conditions of sale
B2B terms applicable to all commercial relationships between INTERESSENS SAS and its professional clients. 2026 edition.
Article 1 — Scope
These terms govern the contractual relationships between INTERESSENS SAS (hereafter "INTERESSENS") and any professional client (hereafter "the Client") in the context of perfume and cosmetic manufacturing, filling, sourcing and shipping services. Any order implies full and unreserved acceptance of these terms, which prevail over any other purchase condition of the Client.
Article 2 — Quotes & orders
Any quote issued by INTERESSENS is valid for 30 days from its date of issue. The order becomes firm upon receipt of the signed quote and the stipulated deposit. Any subsequent modification will be subject to a costed amendment.
Article 3 — Prices & payment terms
Prices are expressed in euros, excluding tax, ex works (Incoterm EXW Montauroux) unless otherwise specified. Default payment terms are:
- 40 % deposit on order,
- 30 % upon validation of final samples / proofs,
- 30 % balance before shipment.
Any payment delay automatically triggers the application of penalties at the legal interest rate plus 10 percentage points, as well as a flat-rate recovery indemnity of € 40 (Article L.441-10 of the French Commercial Code).
Article 4 — Lead times & delivery
Production lead times are indicative and run only from the receipt of all validated elements (formula, packaging, final artwork, payments). INTERESSENS shall not be held responsible for any delay caused by force majeure or by an act of the Client.
Goods travel at the Client's risk and expense from the moment they are taken over by the carrier, in accordance with the agreed Incoterm.
Article 5 — Retention of title
Delivered goods remain the property of INTERESSENS until full payment of the price. In the event of non-payment by the due date, INTERESSENS reserves the right to reclaim the goods.
Article 6 — Conformity & claims
Any claim regarding the conformity of delivered products must be made in writing within 8 working days of delivery. Beyond this period, the goods will be deemed accepted. INTERESSENS' liability is limited to the replacement of non-conforming products or the refund of their purchase price, to the exclusion of any indirect damages.
Article 7 — Intellectual property & confidentiality
The formula developed on the Client's behalf belongs to the Client in full ownership. INTERESSENS undertakes not to reuse it for the benefit of any third party. Reciprocally, the Client warrants that it holds all rights on the elements provided (trademark, packaging, graphic creations) and indemnifies INTERESSENS against any infringement action.
Both parties mutually undertake to maintain strict confidentiality on all exchanged information, during the term of the contract and 5 years after its end.
Article 8 — Force majeure
INTERESSENS shall not be held liable for any failure to fulfill its obligations in the event of force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code — including but not limited to strikes, social conflicts, raw material shortages, customs restrictions, pandemic, natural disaster.
Article 9 — Applicable law & jurisdiction
These terms are governed by French law. Any dispute relating to their interpretation or execution falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of Draguignan, France, notwithstanding multiple defendants or warranty actions.
