In the absence of this acknowledgement of receipt, the start of the performance of the purchase order will be automatically considered to be an implicit acceptance of the terms of the purchase order.

4. Packaging – Packing

The products will be protected by packaging which is appropriate for resistance to the transport method used. All deliveries must be made in packaging stipulated by SEPHORA and, in the absence of a stipulation, in accordance with the norms and standards in force.

Deliveries are made ‘Duty Delivery Paid’ (DDP) to the delivery address, in accordance with the incoterms definition, and the risks are transferred at the time and place of delivery. The Supplier will insure the products at its own cost against loss, theft, breakage, damage, and any other risk during the transport to the place of delivery. The fact of taking delivery of the order does not constitute a presumption of acceptance of the order with regards to its conformity with the specifications.

The Supplier must enclose a detailed slip reiterating the packing list and the type of packaging and the information appearing on the order enabling the products and their quantitative control to be identified. A copy of this slip will be sent simultaneously with the shipment by fax or letter, to SEPHORA’S Purchase Department.

The delivery deadlines and the possible deadlines for performing the services stipulated in SEPHORA’S order are mandatory.

SEPHORA reserves the right to terminate any purchase order or part of the purchase order which is not delivered and/or executed within the contractual deadlines, except for a case of force majeure.

It undertakes to prove having taken out the insurance as well as the payment of the premiums on SEPHORA’S first request.

12. Essential clauses – Maintaining obligations

If any one of the stipulations in these general purchase conditions is invalid, this will not make the whole of the general purchase conditions invalid. In the event of cancellation, the parties will in all circumstances endeavor to renegotiate an economically equivalent clause, in good faith.

If one of the parties does not invoke right it has under these general purchase conditions, this cannot be interpreted in any way as being an express or tacit waiver by this party to exercise the said right in the future.
