These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter “GTCS”) govern all sales of products and services carried out by ADDIDREAM for professional customers. They prevail over any document issued by the Buyer, including its general purchasing conditions, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing and signed by ADDIDREAM. Any order implies full and unconditional acceptance of these GTCS.
The Buyer is responsible for providing a complete set of specifications, including: drawings, 3D files, digital models, technical specifications, tolerances, materials, treatments, applicable standards, quantities, and final usage conditions. ADDIDREAM is only liable for compliance with the documents validated by the Buyer. Any inaccuracy, omission, or inconsistency in the documents provided is the sole responsibility of the Buyer. Any technical recommendations issued by ADDIDREAM are for guidance only and shall not incur its liability.
Quotations are valid for 30 calendar days unless otherwise stated. Prices are exclusive of taxes, packaging charged separately, and apply to the indivisible scope described in the quotation. Any modification of the scope (drawings, quantities, materials, tolerances, treatments, deadlines) results in a price adjustment.
Due to the volatility of raw materials, energy, and transportation costs, ADDIDREAM reserves the right to apply a price adjustment in the event of significant variations in procurement costs, changes in sector indices, or regulatory developments affecting production costs. Adjustments may occur before or after the order, depending on contractual terms.
An order becomes final only after written confirmation by the Seller. Any modification requested by the Buyer after confirmation will require a technical review, an additional quotation, and an adjustment of deadlines. Orders for specific parts, tooling, prototypes, or custom manufacturing are firm and non‑cancellable. In the event of cancellation imposed by the Buyer, all costs incurred remain payable.
Lead times are indicative and begin upon receipt of the order, all files and specifications, and any required tooling. Lead times may be extended in the event of technical issues, supply shortages, production overload, or force majeure. No penalties may be applied without prior written agreement.
Unless otherwise agreed, Products are sold DAP – agreed destination (Incoterms 2020). Risk transfers to the Buyer upon availability of the Products at the agreed location. The Buyer must pursue any claims against the carrier in the event of loss, damage, or delay.
The Buyer must inspect the Products upon receipt. Any claim must be submitted in writing within 15 days of delivery. After this period, the Products are deemed accepted in accordance with Article 1642 of the French Civil Code. Returns are accepted only with ADDIDREAM’s prior written consent.
Prototypes, pre‑series, and test parts are supplied without any guarantee of final performance. Validation of the prototype by the Buyer constitutes acceptance of geometry, tolerances, and industrial feasibility. Any subsequent modification will be subject to an additional quotation.
Tooling created by ADDIDREAM remains its exclusive property, even if the Buyer contributes financially. Tooling is stored for 2 years without a significant new order, after which it may be destroyed without notice. When tooling is supplied by the Buyer, ADDIDREAM does not guarantee its lifespan, and any refurbishment or adaptation costs are borne by the Buyer.
Invoices are payable according to the terms stated in the quotation. In the event of late payment: penalties at the applicable legal rate and a mandatory €40 recovery fee apply. ADDIDREAM may assign its receivables to a factoring company.
Ownership of the Products remains with ADDIDREAM until full payment of the price, in accordance with Article L.624‑16 of the French Commercial Code.
The warranty is limited to replacement or repair of parts acknowledged as defective within one month of delivery. Exclusions include: defects arising from Buyer‑provided files, final usage conditions, normal wear, improper storage, or modifications by the Buyer.
ADDIDREAM’s liability is strictly limited to the amount of the relevant order. All indirect damages are excluded, including: loss of production, loss of business, loss of data, contractual penalties imposed by the Buyer, and commercial prejudice.
Drawings, files, models, prototypes, and technical documents provided by the Buyer are confidential. Improvements, optimizations, or adaptations made by ADDIDREAM remain its intellectual property unless otherwise agreed.
Events considered force majeure include: strikes, fires, pandemics, supply shortages, major equipment failures, cyberattacks, natural disasters, administrative decisions, armed conflicts, etc. Deadlines are extended accordingly without compensation.
The Buyer is responsible for compliance with regulations applicable to the final use of the Products (REACH, RoHS, ITAR, EAR, etc.).
Any dispute shall be submitted to the Commercial Court of Limoges, even in the event of multiple defendants or third‑party claims.
These GTCS cancel and replace all previous versions and apply from the date indic
