1.3. These general terms and conditions of sale apply without restriction or reservation to all sales concluded by the Supplier with Clients of the same category, regardless of any clauses that may appear in the Client’s documents, and in particular its general terms and conditions of purchase.
Any order for Services or Products placed in any form whatsoever with the Supplier automatically entails the Client’s acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale, which prevail over any clause set out in purchase orders or any document of the client.
The information appearing in the Supplier’s catalogues, brochures and price lists is given for guidance only and may be revised at any time.
The Supplier is entitled to make any amendments to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale that it deems useful.
In accordance with applicable regulations, the Supplier reserves the right to derogate from certain clauses of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, depending on the negotiations conducted with the Client, by drawing up Special Terms and Conditions of Sale.
Article 2 – Orders
Sales are only final after express written acceptance of the Client’s order by the Supplier. Confirmation of the Supplier’s acceptance of the Client’s order will be evidenced by the drawing up of a quotation signed by the Client. In the event of unavailability of the ordered Product, the quotation will automatically lapse and be cancelled by operation of law, without any compensation being owed to the Client. The Supplier will inform the Client of such unavailability as soon as possible, and any deposit paid by the Client will be refunded immediately. For a Vending Machine, unavailability may be noted up until its commissioning date.
In addition, the Supplier has electronic ordering means (including acceptance and confirmation) (e-shop) allowing the Client to order certain Products (in particular Consumables) with the greatest convenience and speed. For orders placed exclusively on the e-shop, the registration of an order on the Supplier’s e-shop is completed when the Client accepts these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the general terms of use by ticking the box provided for this purpose and validates its order. This validation implies acceptance of the entirety of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and of the general terms of use of the Supplier’s e-shop and constitutes proof of the sales contract.
Receipt and acceptance of the order shall be confirmed by email. The data recorded in the Supplier’s computer system constitutes proof of all transactions concluded with the Client.
Service Subscriptions are only final after express written acceptance of the Client’s Subscription order by the Supplier. Confirmation of the Supplier’s acceptance of the Client’s Subscription will be evidenced by the drawing up of a Subscription enrolment form signed by the Client. Any Subscription modifications requested by the Client will only be taken into account if they are notified in writing at least thirty (30) days before the next billing date, after the Client signs a form amending the initial form.
Article 3 – Subscription Term and Commitment
3.1 Initial Service Subscriptions are entered into from the date on which the service is provided by the Supplier for an initial term of one (1) year and shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.
3.2 Optional services Subscriptions are entered into from the effective date stated on the Subscription form for an initial term of one (1) year and shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. This term constitutes a firm and irrevocable commitment, during which the Customer shall remain liable for all payments due under the Agreement.
Article 4 – Termination of Subscriptions
Service Subscriptions may be terminated, in writing, by the Client and by the Supplier subject to two (2) months’ notice before the expiry of the current contractual period, except in cases expressly provided for by law and in the event of transfer or permanent discontinuation of the Vending Machine to which the Subscription applies, it being specified that each month commenced is owed in full.
Any request for early termination, outside the cases mentioned above, will give rise to the immediate payability of a termination indemnity corresponding to 100% of the monthly instalments remaining due until the end of the commitment period. This indemnity is payable in full at the time of termination and may not be spread out. The Client acknowledges that this indemnity constitutes fair compensation for the loss suffered by the Supplier as a result of the early termination. Any request for early termination must be sent by the Client in writing.
Notwithstanding the provisions relating to the commitment term and to early termination penalties, each party may terminate the Subscription contract by operation of law in the event of serious or repeated breach by the other party of one of its essential obligations.
In the event of a breach by the Supplier of its contractual obligations, the Client shall first give the Supplier written notice of such breach by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt and require the Supplier to cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such notice. If, at the end of this period, the breach persists, the Client may terminate the contract without notice and without owing the monthly instalments remaining due until the end of the commitment period initially subscribed.
In the event of a breach by the Client of its contractual obligations, in particular in the event of a payment default not remedied within fifteen (15) days following the sending of a formal notice, or in the event of fraudulent use of the services, the Supplier may terminate the contract by operation of law. In this case, the sums remaining due until the end of the commitment period will become immediately payable, by way of damages.
Termination of the contract, whatever the cause, will result in the immediate deactivation of access to the services associated with the Subscription, without prejudice to the damages that the injured party may claim.
Article 5 – Assistance – Technical Support
The Supplier provides a maintenance, servicing and repair service for the Vending Machines under the following conditions:
A telephone assistance service, Technical Support, useful for diagnosing breakdowns or malfunctions of the Vending Machines, is available Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday and public holidays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and then from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Making an appointment is recommended in order to reach the Technical Support; appointment requests are made by email at the following address: sav@fldtech.fr or via the electronic telephone appointment calendar made available to Clients on the website https://www.fldtech.fr/ under the “E-boutique” tab / “Rendez-vous” tab.

Repairs, including those performed under a warranty, shall be carried out by replacing parts with identical parts, whether new or used, provided that such parts are in good working order.
The Supplier may under no circumstances be held liable for the impossibility of supplying spare parts, in particular due to the discontinuation of manufacture by the original manufacturers or suppliers, technological obsolescence, or any other reason beyond its control.
In the event of unavailability of spare parts, the Supplier will endeavour to offer the Client, as far as possible, appropriate alternative solutions, without this constituting an obligation of result.
In the event of a breakdown, malfunction, temporary unavailability or total or partial shutdown of a Vending Machine, regardless of the cause, the Supplier undertakes only to use its best efforts to intervene within a reasonable time following notification by the Client, subject to technical constraints, the availability of spare parts and access to the Vending Machine.
It is expressly agreed that:
- the Supplier shall not be liable to pay any compensation or grant any price reduction in respect of any loss of business, loss of profit, loss of turnover, loss of customers or, more generally, any indirect or consequential loss resulting from the unavailability of the Vending Machine;
- the Client expressly waives any claim in this respect, except in the event of the Supplier's gross negligence or wilful misconduct, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Training on the use of the Vending Machine may be organised on request and will be the subject of a separate invoice at the applicable rate.
The Supplier also offers service provisions which are the subject of a separate quotation and invoice.
To ensure the proper technical functioning of the Vending Machine, the Supplier provides Clients with consumables approved at the technical and hygiene level. In the event of the use of consumables not supplied and not approved by the Supplier, the Supplier may not be held liable for defects and may cease to provide maintenance of the Vending Machine.

The prices of the services, transport and installation are those appearing on the Supplier’s price list in force on the day the order is received.
Any costs incurred as a result of a change of delivery address after the Supplier’s receipt of the order shall be borne exclusively by the Client. Likewise, in the event of specific requests by the Client concerning the packaging or transport conditions of the ordered Products, duly accepted in writing by the Supplier, the related costs will be the subject of a specific additional invoice.
Article 9 – Transfer of ownership - transfer of risks
The transfer of ownership of the Products, for the benefit of the Client, is suspended until the issuance of the final delivery or commissioning invoice issued by the Supplier and full payment by the Client of this invoice, in principal and ancillary amounts, even in the event of the granting of a payment deadline, and regardless of the delivery date of such Products.
It is expressly agreed that the Supplier may enforce its rights under this retention of title clause in respect of any amount owed to it against all Products in the Client’s possession, such Products being contractually deemed to be the unpaid Products. To this end, the Supplier will send the Client a formal notice by any written means allowing receipt to be attested (registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, email with acknowledgement of receipt, extrajudicial act), inviting it to regularise its situation within three (3) business days of receipt of such formal notice.
Upon expiry of this period, without full payment of the amounts due, the Supplier may, without further formality:
- claim and take back the unpaid Products in compensation for all its unpaid invoices, without prejudice to its right to rescind sales in progress and to any other action it would be entitled to bring against the Client;
- remotely shut down the Vending machines or interrupt any service offered to the Client, until the purchase price of the Products has been paid in full.
The Supplier will organise the operations to take back the Products, setting the practical arrangements (date, time, place and means of transport), after having informed the Client in writing. The Client undertakes to provide access to the Products concerned and to facilitate their removal, and shall not object thereto or make such access subject to any condition whatsoever. Any obstacle placed by the Client to the proper execution of the take-back operations will engage its liability and may give rise to summary proceedings at the Client’s expense.
The Client will remain responsible for the Products until they are actually taken back by the Supplier. The costs associated with the repossession operations (including transportation, handling and travel expenses) shall be borne in full by the Client and shall be added to the amounts due under the unpaid invoices.
Notwithstanding this retention of title clause, the risk in the Products shall pass to the Client upon delivery: the transfer to the Client of the risks of loss and deterioration of the Products will take place upon delivery and receipt of said Products, regardless of the transfer of ownership, and this whatever the date of the order and of payment thereof.
From delivery of the Products, the Client shall have custody of the Products and shall be responsible for their safekeeping. It is however, expressly agreed that, for each “Renaissance” Vending Machine, namely one that has already been the subject of a commissioning prior to the one carried out for the Client, the Client accepts such Vending Machine is in its condition as at the date of signature of the quotation and assumes full responsibility for it from that date when the Vending Machine is not refurbished at the Supplier’s workshop and is sold on site.

Service interruptions inherent in the maintenance operations of WebPilot and the Click & Collect application will be the subject of prior communication to the Client, via WebPilot.
Any Vending Machine warranty Service, subscribed by subscription or by single invoicing, includes the Supplier’s coverage of the cost of spare parts and labour, excluding travel costs, on the occasion of any repair occurring in metropolitan France excluding Corsica during the subscribed warranty period, with the exception of the repair of the following elements: screen, computer and payment system.

- the use of unsuitable electrical power supply or any other cause having the same effects,
- the use of consumables not sold by the Supplier (boxes, cooking plates and labels),

11.4 Regulatory compliance of the WebPilot software
The WebPilot software is developed and maintained in compliance with French legislation and regulations in force on the date it is made available.
In general, the Supplier may not be held liable for any administrative, tax, criminal or other penalty imposed on the Client by the competent authorities of its country (outside France), resulting from the Client’s failure to comply with the regulations applicable to its activity, whatever the cause.
It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure, under its sole responsibility, the compliance of its activity with all the legal and regulatory obligations in force in its country of establishment and in any country in which it carries out its activity.
If any modification to WebPilot is required to ensure its compliance with any regulation, legislation, technical standard or administrative decision applicable in the Client’s country (outside France), the associated development costs shall be borne exclusively by the Client. The following are targeted, on a non-exhaustive basis: the tax obligations of the Client’s country (in particular electronic invoicing, standards applicable to receipts, specific taxes), personal data protection requirements, as well as any obligation imposed by a local public authority.
The Client shall be solely responsible for monitoring the regulations applicable in its country. As such, it is its responsibility: to monitor the application of legislative and regulatory texts likely to affect the use of the software; to inform the Supplier in writing, within a reasonable time, as soon as it becomes aware of a regulation or a regulatory change requiring an adaptation of the software, in order to allow the Supplier to carry out the developments under satisfactory conditions; to provide the Supplier with all the texts, technical specifications and official documents necessary to carry out the development.
The Supplier may not be held liable for any delay in bringing the software into compliance, nor for any penalty or loss suffered by the Client, resulting from a failure or delay in the transmission of regulatory information by the Client.
Upon receipt of a written notification from the Client, the Supplier and the Client must meet within fifteen (15) business days in order to: validate the regulatory qualification of the request and set an estimated completion schedule taking into account the applicable entry-into-force constraints. A detailed development quotation shall be submitted to the Client for its prior written approval before any analysis, preparatory steps or development work is commenced.
No regulatory development shall be initiated without the Client’s prior written agreement on the corresponding quotation and specifications.
It is specified that the Supplier is not required to carry out a regulatory development if it exceeds its technical or operational capacity, including if the Client bears the related costs.
The provisions of this article shall apply to all contracts that are being performed on the effective date of these GTC, including those entered prior to that date, provided that the Client continues to use the WebPilot software after the effective date of these GTC. The continued use of the WebPilot software by the Client after notification of the update of these GTC constitutes unreserved acceptance of Article 11.4 in its version in force.
11.5 Regulatory compliance of the Vending Machines
The Vending Machines comply with French legislation and regulations in force on the date they are made available.
In general, the Supplier may not be held liable for any administrative, health, tax, customs, criminal or other penalty, or for any other cost imposed on the Client by the competent authorities of its country (outside France) and the related financial consequences, resulting from the Client’s failure to comply with the regulations applicable to the installation, operation and use of the Vending Machine, whatever the cause.
The Client shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the installation and operation of the Vending Machine comply with all legal and regulatory requirements in force in its country of establishment, in particular those relating to health and food standards, hygiene, safety, town planning and the occupation of the public highway, as well as in any other country in which it carries on its business.

Article 13 – Intellectual property
The Supplier shall remain the owner of all intellectual property rights and know-how relating to the Services, whether such rights are owned by the Supplier or licensed to it by third-party licensors.
Where software is necessary for the use of a Service, the Supplier grants the Client a personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable and non-transferable right of use over the latter, limited to the duration of the services subscription.
This right is granted only for the sole purpose of allowing the Client to use the Services, to the exclusion of any other purpose.
The Client strictly refrains from any other use of the aforementioned software, in particular any adaptation, modification, correction, translation, arrangement, distribution and decompilation, without this list being exhaustive.
