Article 4 : Lead time

The non compliance by the customer of the planned calendar or the requirement of deadlines can damage the quality of the work. The customer accepts the consequences. Significant modifications, iterations, delay in the decision-making or late delivery of documents by the customer and necessary for the artwork, push the delivery deadline established between both parties.
Article 5 : Design and Delivery
The customer guarantees to have taken the care of supplying to Mylène Charpentier the most precise possible specifications detailing the nature and the environment of the order to achieve (see Art 3 - 1 of this page). If the customer does not supply a specifications to Mylène Charpentier before the beginning of the realization of the order, or when the specifications do not give indications or recommendations enough precise on the way an element of the artwork included in the order must be approached, both parties agree on the fact that the design of the element is left with the interpretation of Mylène Charpentier.

Article 6 : Billing and Payment
Sauf délai de paiement supplémentaire clairement accordé avec une lettre écrite et signée de la part de Mylène Charpentier, le règlement de la facture est dû au maximum 30 jours après l’émission de celle-ci. Les honoraires doivent être réglés au plus tard à l’échéance du mois qui suit la facturation et non pas selon la réglementation commerciale fournisseur. Le paiement s’effectue par virement bancaire, par chèque à l’ordre de Mylène Charpentier ou via Paypal (frais à la charge du commanditaire). En cas de retard, des pénalités seront exigibles sans qu’un rappel soit nécessaire conformément à la loi (cf: c. com. art L. 441-6, al.2 modifié de la loi du 15 mai 2001). En application de la loi n° 92-1442 du 31.12.1992, une pénalité fixée à 15% du montant net de la facture, par mois de retard entamé, est exigible, sans rappel, le jour suivant la date limite de règlement, ainsi qu’à une indemnité forfaitaire de 40€ (C. Com. art. D441-5). En cas de non-paiement le client prendra en charge tous les frais de recouvrement. Mylène Charpentier se réserve le droit de suspendre toute gestion de commande et toute livraison en cas de refus d’autorisation de paiement de la part des organismes officiellement accrédités ou en cas de non paiement. Mylène Charpentier se réserve notamment le droit de refuser ses prestations de services émanant d’une commande d’un acheteur qui n’aurait pas réglé totalement ou partiellement une commande précédente ou avec lequel un litige de paiement serait en cours d’administration. Le défaut de paiement entraîne la non transmission des droits d’utilisation et de diffusion des créations réalisées, même si les fichiers de création ont déjà été livrés au client. Comme stipulé dans l’Art3 – 1. de ces CGV, dans le cas où des modifications impliqueraient un remaniement substantiel du cahier des charges initial, ces dernières seront facturées en sus du devis initial.
