The prices stipulated in the rates and / or price offers or quotes from Achat Cloud are expressed in euros, excluding taxes, from our warehouses. All fees, duties and taxes are the responsibility of the Customer. Any previously granted discount may be changed with each new order. For the Products, the transport costs are fixed at the delivery according to the tariff in force at the time of the order of the Customer.
Invoices are issued for the Products when they are shipped from our warehouse. They are usually already paid by the Customer when placing the order. Exceptionally and for specific deals the invoice may be made payable at thirty (30) days if Achat Cloud gives it’s acceptance. However, with respect to any new Customer, or in case of default or delay of a Customer in the payment of a previous invoice. Achat Cloud reserves the right to demand cash payment.

Moreover, if the Customer has a credit line granted by Achat Cloud to pay his invoices at a defined term (eg 30 days, …) then any new order increasing the total of the amounts of this new invoice and those due to an amount greater than the credit line granted will automatically lead to the automatic direct debit of old invoices before their due date so that the sum of the amounts of the invoices due and the new order is less than the amount of the granted credit line. If the Customer has not given a direct debit authorization then Achat Cloud may request the payment of old invoices before their due date to accept the order and proceed to delivering it to the Customer.
6. Late payment
Any amount unpaid on its due date will automatically be charged with interests at the rate of one and a half times the rate of legal interest.

The late payment interest will be counted from the 1st day following the payment due date.
In addition, in the event of total or partial non-payment, Achat Cloud will retain any down payments, as a lump sum minimum indemnity without prejudice to any additional damages that it may claim.
