For the purposes of applying these general terms and conditions of sale, it is agreed that ASMI and the client shall collectively be referred to as the “Parties”.
Any order for a product offered for sale on the site assumes that the client has read and accepted these general terms and conditions of sale. Therefore, the order may not be validated unless the client has ticked the “I confirm that I have read the general terms and conditions of sale, which I accept” box.
As a result, the fact of placing the order implies that the client adheres completely and without reservation to these general terms and conditions of sale.
ASMI reserves the right to alter, at any time and without notice, the contents of these general terms and conditions of sale. Should a condition not be met, the matter will be settled by the practices and French laws currently in force with respect to distance selling.
If one or several stipulations of these terms and conditions of sale are held to be invalid or declared as such in accordance with a law, a regulation or following a decision given by a competent court of law, the other stipulations shall retain all their power and consequences.
The client may save or print out these general terms and conditions of sale on the condition that it does not alter them.
