- BCA: means the company BERCY CONSULTING & ASSOCIES.
- CLIENT: means the natural or legal person who subscribes to the service(s), for
the purposes of its professional activity.
- General Terms: means this document
- Special Terms: means any document specific to each service offered by BCA.

PURPOSE
In the absence of a contract concluded between BCA and its CLIENT, or of specific provisions agreed in writing by BCA, all sales of equipment, licences, and service provision are subject to these general terms of sale, which constitute the law between the parties.
PRICE
Prices invoiced are prices in euros, exclusive of taxes and exclusive of shipping costs, at the rate in force at the time of acceptance of the order. Shipping costs will be invoiced to the CLIENT in addition to the goods.
ORDER
Every order must be the subject of a proposal established by BCA and confirmed in writing (mail or fax) before delivery. Every order is final only after acceptance by
BCA.
Orders taken into account by BCA may neither be modified nor cancelled or postponed, except with BCA's agreement.
Any cancellation, postponement or modification of an order, accepted by BCA, shall be at the CLIENT's expense.
The first order of any new CLIENT must be accompanied by a K-bis extract less than three months old and a bank identity statement.
Due to the rapid evolution of technologies, BCA reserves the right to supply equipment different from that ordered, provided that the characteristics are equivalent.
PAYMENT TERMS
Payment terms are granted and modified by BCA.
The first order giving rise to the opening of an account must be paid in full upon receipt of the invoice.
Failure to pay all or part of an invoice by its due date shall result in suspension of delivery of orders in progress. Any sum unpaid on its due date shall automatically, and without prior formal notice, be increased by late payment interest calculated on a pro rata temporis basis by applying one and a half times the legal interest rate, and shall result in all remaining receivables becoming immediately due and payable.
RETENTION OF TITLE
Pursuant to Law No. 80-335 of 12 May 1980, goods sold remain the property of
BCA until full payment of the sale price, interest and ancillary costs. In this respect, the remittance of cheques, bills of exchange or any other debt instrument creating an obligation to pay does not constitute payment within the meaning of this provision. Payment shall be deemed effected only upon actual collection by BCA.
In the event of total or partial non-payment of the price, BCA shall be entitled to retake possession of the equipment without prior formalities and, independently of any legal proceedings, to suspend performance of its service provision and/or to suspend the licences granted.
To that end, BCA or a person mandated by it of its choice shall be authorised to enter, during business hours and on business days, the premises where the equipment is located in order to recover it.
The CLIENT holding the goods shall personally bear all risks and, in the event of disappearance or destruction of the goods, shall remain liable for the agreed price.
SOFTWARE
Software is supplied and transmitted on various media. It is exclusively the subject of a licence of use; the publisher and/or designer remain the sole owners of the related copyright.
It is non-transferable and may not be reproduced in whole or in part, except by agreement to the contrary, without the prior written consent of BCA; each authorised copy must reproduce all notices appearing on the original, including the "copyright".
The CLIENT may use the software only in accordance with the terms of the licence granted and under its sole responsibility.
SERVICE PROVISION
Unless otherwise agreed, prior installation (connection, interconnection, etc.), commissioning, staff training, technical assistance, consulting, repair and, more generally, any service provision performed for the CLIENT's needs are not included in the prices of the products delivered.
WARRANTY
Goods benefit from the warranty granted by the manufacturer or publisher, which constitutes the limit of the CLIENT's recourse.
RETURNS
No product shall be taken back or exchanged without BCA's prior agreement.
Receipt of products returned without BCA's written agreement may in no case be considered tacit acceptance of a take-back or exchange.
Failing such agreement, the products shall remain at the CLIENT's disposal and BCA shall be released from any liability relating to all risks, losses or damage suffered or caused as a result.
Returns shall be made at the CLIENT's expense and risk.
DELIVERY
BCA may not be held liable on any grounds whatsoever for any delay in delivery.
Delivery shall be deemed effected as soon as the product is made available to the
CLIENT by the carrier, evidenced by delivery of a receipt signed by the CLIENT.
The CLIENT is required to inspect the goods upon delivery and to lodge reservations with the carrier. Reservations must be formalised in writing (registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt) with BCA no later than seven calendar days after delivery. Failure to lodge reservations and failure to notify BCA shall render any subsequent claim inadmissible.
Goods travel at the CLIENT's risk. Delivery times are given for information purposes only. Goods shall be shipped carriage forward by BCA or any other carrier of its choice.
FORCE MAJEURE
The parties shall incur no liability for any failure due to a case of force majeure.
The following shall be considered as such: export prohibitions issued by a government authority, labour disputes resulting in a general or sectoral strike, late delivery by BCA's distributors and disruptions affecting transport.
If the effects of a case of force majeure continue for more than ninety calendar days, each party shall have the right to cancel the order without compensation on either side.
CLIENTS IN RECEIVERSHIP OR LIQUIDATION
In the event of receivership or liquidation of a CLIENT benefiting from Marketing
Wi-Fi services, the following provisions shall apply:
1. Companies in receivership continuing their activity
Where a company enters receivership proceedings but continues its activity, the following rules shall apply:
- Invoices issued prior to the date of the opening judgment for receivership must
be settled. A message will be sent to the appointed judicial administrator in order to obtain payment of the sums due.
- Invoices issued after the date of the opening judgment for receivership, during
the observation period, remain payable by the company.
- Equipment made available to the CLIENT shall remain in place and in operation
for as long as the company continues its activity.
- In the event of non-payment of sums due, BCA reserves the right to suspend
services and to take the necessary steps with the bodies responsible for the collective procedure.
2. Companies ceasing activity (closure)
Where a company is subject to liquidation proceedings or ceases its activity within the framework of receivership, the following measures shall apply:
- All outstanding invoices must be settled. A message will be sent to the judicial
administrator in order to obtain payment.
- BCA shall proceed with recovery of the equipment installed at the CLIENT's
premises. The judicial administrator and/or liquidator shall be informed of this step.
- In the event of difficulty in recovering the equipment, BCA reserves the right to
take any necessary measure, including legal action, to recover the equipment made available.
These provisions apply without prejudice to the other clauses of these General
Terms of Sale, in particular those relating to unpaid amounts and termination conditions.

Normal intervention hours are between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. from Monday to
Friday, except public holidays.
The contractually agreed intervention time is established according to the company's business hours. Failing agreement, the intervention time is defined at best within 48 hours.

Maintenance visits (on-site maintenance only)
If maintenance visits are stipulated in the special terms, they shall be carried out on
BCA's initiative in agreement with THE CLIENT or during a repair call.
This maintenance includes routine checks, cleaning, dust removal, lubrication, replacement of any defective parts and software updates for the equipment recommended and supplied by the manufacturer.
Interventions started but not completed within BCA's business hours shall be interrupted and resumed when normal hours resume.
Upon a request specifically made by the user and after BCA's agreement, repair may nevertheless be continued outside normal hours, with additional invoicing according to the rate in force.
The outcome of an intervention is categorised according to the following cases:
- Case 1: Material damage, absence of equipment (theft, etc.)

probability of internal component degradation
- Case 3: Material malfunction known and identified by airZoon

Price revision
The price may be revised at least annually according to the formula specified in the general terms of service.
CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY
THE CLIENT must allow free access to the equipment during business hours so that

The exact terms and scope are specified in the applicable Special
Terms.
The services include network security mechanisms intended to protect infrastructure, access and usage, without constituting an obligation of result but an obligation of means.
Any subscription, order, invoicing or payment constitutes full and complete acceptance of these General Terms of Sale, Service and Maintenance, available on the website of BERCY CONSULTING & ASSOCIES. The labels appearing on invoices refer to the services defined in these General Terms and, where applicable, in the applicable Special Terms.
MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS
THE CLIENT agrees that proper operation of the equipment depends essentially on compliance with the standards and specifications supplied, continuity of the
Maintenance service, upkeep of the equipment in good condition and its use by competent personnel.
Furthermore, it acknowledges that the complexity and technical nature of the supplies require, in its own interest, compliance with the following rules:
- Except with the prior written agreement of BCA and the manufacturer, the
equipment may not be modified. It may be maintained or repaired only by specialised personnel duly mandated by BCA.
- Any connection of equipment not supplied by the manufacturer must be the
subject of BCA's written agreement. Furthermore, equipment performance is closely linked to use of the software exactly suited to the intended processing.
- Any modification of the electrical network or addition of equipment likely to
affect proper operation of the installations must be the subject of written notification by THE CLIENT to BCA for validation and advice.
Non-compliance with any of these conditions shall entirely release BCA from liability.
REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE INTERNET ACCESS PROVIDER
THE CLIENT shall, where applicable, be responsible for obtaining authorisations and signing contracts with the Internet Access Provider for connection of the equipment to the internet telecommunications network.
If the ISP requires modifications to the installation, these shall be carried out at the
CLIENT's expense.
Data transmission speed guarantees on the equipment depend on the conditions set by the internet operator applicable to use of the equipment, according to the speeds indicated and the capacity of the installation to implement them.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
THE CLIENT shall take care of the equipment, install it in suitable premises under proper conditions, follow all instructions and notices given by the manufacturer in this regard, and observe all directives and advice on use of the equipment.
If additions or reductions are made by THE CLIENT to the system without the manufacturer's written agreement, THE CLIENT shall be responsible for all losses, damage or reduction in performance that BCA may reasonably consider attributable to these modifications and for all costs arising therefrom.
PRICE OF SERVICES
The services corresponding to this contract shall be remunerated by means of a fee, the flat-rate amount of which is defined in the special terms.
The price of a service may be revised in the following cases:
1. at each contract due date;
2. according to increases in the rates of third-party suppliers and service
providers;
3. at least once per year according to a formula taking into account the SYNTEC
index.
For 2., the change observed shall automatically be passed on to the rate for services charged by BCA.
For 3., the formula taking into account the SYNTEC index is established as follows:
P1 = P0 x (S1/ S0)
P1: revised price
P0: original contract price (at month M0)
S0: reference SYNTEC index retained at the original contract date
S1: latest index published at the revision date
The texts in force at the time of each invoicing shall automatically apply.
In the event of a change compared with the initial configuration, where applicable under the client's contract, a maintenance contract amendment shall be indexed; service terms shall be updated; and the fee shall be adjusted.
PAYMENT TERMS
The fee is payable annually, quarterly or monthly, in advance at the beginning of each period (payment in advance) in accordance with the special terms.
Payment is made upon receipt of the invoice.
Any payment delay exceeding 30 days from the invoice date shall automatically justify daily interest at the discount rate increased by three points.
In the event of non-payment, BCA reserves the possibility of suspending any intervention with eight days' notice.
If this measure has no effect, BCA may terminate the contract without notice.
Payment method & processing fees
Payment for services is made primarily by bank card or SEPA direct debit, via the secure payment gateways made available by BCA.
As an exception, payment by bank transfer is authorised.
However, this method entails manual processing and specific accounting reconciliation. To that end, a flat administrative processing fee of €45 incl. tax may be applied for each payment made by transfer.
This amount is payable in addition to the incl. tax amount of the invoice concerned.
It is intended to cover the costs induced by this non-standard method (processing time, risk of error, manual allocation, etc.).
Fees relating to direct debit rejections
In the event of rejection of a bank direct debit or a card payment, administrative and technical fees in a flat amount of €15 excl. tax per rejection and per new direct debit attempt shall be invoiced to the Client.
These fees are intended to cover the costs borne by BCA (bank charges, processing costs and management of rejections).
BCA reserves the right to invoice these fees either:
- by adding them to the next invoice issued,
- or by issuing a separate supplementary invoice.
These fees are payable immediately upon issuance of the corresponding invoice.
The Client acknowledges that these fees constitute legitimate and proportionate consideration for the costs generated by the payment incident, and accepts their application without reservation.
ASSIGNMENT
THE CLIENT may in no case assign the benefit of this contract without BCA's written agreement.
DISPUTES
This contract is governed by French law. This document and any amendment signed by both parties constitute the sole contract binding them.
In the event of material breach by either party of one of the clauses of the contract or of the general maintenance terms, the other party may terminate the contract with immediate effect.
BCA may also terminate the contract with immediate effect in the event of filing for bankruptcy, judicial reorganisation, liquidation of assets or amicable liquidation of the CLIENT.
Where the manufacturer is unable to supply the necessary spare parts, BCA shall not be held liable.
BCA may not be held liable if performance of the contract is delayed or prevented in whole or in part due to social conflicts or force majeure.
RENEWAL
Renewal
This contract is concluded for one year with tacit renewal by periods of one year (unless terminated in accordance with the conditions provided).
ELECTION OF DOMICILE
Whatever the payment method and the place of use of the equipment, the parties assign exclusive jurisdiction to the courts of BCA's registered office.
