GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
Article 1. Preamble
Any use of the premises provided under the commercial name "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" implies the formal acceptance without exception or reservation, by the client or any representative thereof, of these general sales conditions. The client declares that they have had these conditions in their possession and have taken note of them, and they are also available at any time on the Studio Shapes Paris website at the address shapes.paris. It is understood that the client's acceptance of a quote, the placing of a dated and signed order, the payment of a deposit, or the beginning of execution of services implies acceptance of these terms.
Article 2. Rental Conditions and Operation of the Premises
The client agrees to provide the company in charge of the marketing of "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" prior to each service with a call sheet indicating the names and roles of the persons present on the rented set. Consequently, these individuals will be deemed authorized by the Client to incur any expenses with the company "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS". However, the Client may formally designate a single person in charge of incurring expenses on their behalf prior to that. In the absence of a call sheet or designated person, all individuals present on the set will be regarded as authorized by the Client.
Any service performed by "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" will lead to the creation by the Studio Shapes Paris teams of a set sheet and/or corresponding quote detailing the equipment and services requested by the Client. The set sheet and/or quote serve as the basis for the final billing post-rental. Additionally, for each service, an expense sheet will be completed by the set assistant. This sheet will attest to the expenses incurred by "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" on behalf of the Client.
Studio Shapes Paris is billed by the half-day for a duration of 5 hours, from 9 AM to 2 PM or from 2 PM to 7 PM, or by the day for a duration of 10 hours, from 9 AM to 7 PM. Before 9 AM and after 7 PM, the time of occupancy will be billed at overtime rates, in hourly increments. In accordance with the collective agreement "for technical companies serving creation and events" applicable to the staff of the company "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS", any service lasting more than 14 hours must be scheduled at least 4 hours in advance and be subject to a specific quote.
All our quotes are valid for 7 days and become void if not returned signed and stamped with the mention "good for agreement" within 7 days before the start date of the service. Any order canceled less than 96 hours before the start of the service will be fully billed. Any material or accessory not retrieved within 48 hours following the end of the service will result in the Client paying a daily storage fee calculated based on the volume stored. Items not reclaimed by the Client within 7 calendar days will be disposed of and will incur additional billing.
For security reasons, it is reminded that the Client is responsible for the couriers they employ. Consequently, they agree to drop off and receive their documents themselves with the couriers they mandate. In the absence of the Client, the stamp endorsed by the company "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" on letters or delivery slips does not engage their responsibility nor that of their teams, and solely serves to confirm the delivery personnel's passage; it does not constitute a receipt, nor acceptance of the goods.
Article 3. Recourse, Responsibilities, and Insurance
"STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" commits to providing the Client with premises, equipment, and materials in perfect working condition. The Client agrees to return them in the same state. Otherwise, repair and restitution costs will be billed to the Client upon presentation of the quote or invoice from the competent service provider for each repair. The Client is responsible for any person present at the service location and for the consequences of their actions. The Client agrees to take all necessary security measures for valuable goods they bring into the premises of "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS". They agree to inform the teams and/or managers of "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" in advance.
"STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" cannot be held responsible for any bodily, material, or immaterial damage occurring on the premises, as well as for any theft, deterioration, or damage of any nature that may occur to cash, materials, clothing, or any other goods, including animals, brought by the Client, their representative, or their agents. Consequently, it is up to the Client to take out the necessary insurance to cover all the aforementioned risks. They agree to present the corresponding certificate at the first request of "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS".
Article 4. Files and Digital Services
"STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" cannot be held responsible for loss or deterioration of images or data used by the Client or obtained with equipment made available to them. In the event of any fault attributable to "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS", their liability cannot be engaged beyond providing the same technical means that were made available to the Client, enabling them to reconstruct lost or deteriorated data.
Article 5. Terms and Payment Deadlines
All services are payable as follows:
– 40% deposit upon confirmation of the order
– Balance, i.e., 70%, 48 hours before the day of the service
– Additional services not quoted are payable on the same day by credit card (3% fee), bank transfer, or in cash upon receipt of the invoice.
No discount will be granted.
"STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" reserves the right to include a provision amount covering meal expenses and additional costs in its quotes. It is understood that the corresponding invoice will only state the expenses actually incurred by the Client, justified by the set sheet and the expense sheet. In the event that the advances received exceed the invoice amount, "STUDIO SHAPES PARIS" agrees to refund the difference within 15 calendar days.
In the absence of payment of an invoice at its due date, interest for late payment will automatically and without prior notice be due from the first day following the due date at a rate of three times the legal French interest rate on the sum owed. Furthermore, all other invoices issued to the same Client, even if not due, will become immediately payable as will all future payments relating to one or more invoices. The Client agrees to reimburse all costs and fees incurred due to the contentious recovery of the sums owed, including fees, charges, and/or remuneration of enforcement officers.
Article 6. Disputes
In case of incident or technical dispute, the client must submit their comments in writing within 24 hours following the date of the service (postmark being proof).
