discretion of the Provider. In the event of non-payment within the set and/or tolerated deadlines, the order may be cancelled.

​

The Provider reserves the right to take any legal action necessary for the recovery of the amount due.
All expenses incurred shall be borne by the Client. The deposit paid upon order remains the property of the service provider as compensation in the event of force majeure and in cases where the breach of contractual commitments is attributable to the Client.
​
​
ARTICLE 5: NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT
​
It is agreed that in case of withdrawal, the Client must notify the Service Provider by any means possible (phone, email, mail) and ensure through a written confirmation from the Service Provider of its good reception.
​
5.1 – Exoneration of Liability and Force Majeure
​
Neither of the parties is responsible for its delay or failure in the execution of its obligations if they are due to a case of force majeure.
The present Contract will be suspended and therefore suspend the Parties in their obligations, in all cases recognized as force majeure by law and jurisprudence and without compensation of any kind. If the impediment is temporary, the performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies the resolution of the Contract. If the impediment is definitive, the contract is automatically terminated and the parties are released from their obligations under the conditions provided for in articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code.
In addition to force majeure, the liability of the Service Provider cannot be incurred in case of non-performance or improper performance of its obligations which is due either to the Client's fault, or to the insurmountable and unforeseeable fact of a third party to the Contract.
​
5.2 – Unforeseeability Clause
​
The Parties intend within the framework of the provisions of Article 1195 of the Civil Code relating to unforeseeability to define as follows and exhaustively the cases of unforeseeability: Major climatic events; Political, economic, or health events of national or international scope likely to lead to a significant economic revision of the Contract.
​
5.3 – Service Provider's Liability
​
The liability of each Party is limited to the commitments undertaken by them under the terms of the Contract.
The liability of the Service Provider can only be incurred in case of proven fault or negligence and therefore cannot be incurred, among other things, in case of delay or suspension of the provision of the service attributable to the Client.
Any delay in delivery or installation on site by the Service Provider cannot give rise to any penalty or compensation, nor justify the cancellation of the order. The liability of the Service Provider cannot be incurred in the event of direct or indirect damage related to the intervention outside the Contract of one or more Service Providers of the Client. The liability of the Service Provider is potentially incurred in the event of material damage caused to the co-contractor due to faults attributable to it in the execution of its service. In no event shall the Service Provider be liable for damages caused to the Client as a result of the use of the service or the goods subject to the service that has proven to be non-compliant with the Service Provider's prescriptions and the rules of the art. Furthermore, the exclusion of any warranty is expressly provided for:
- the damaging consequences of the improper arrangement of objects and places on or in which the service must be performed;
- the damaging consequences of the Client's failure to communicate to the Service Provider any special or exceptional instructions or information to be taken into account for the proper performance of the Services;
- the disappearance or diversion of important documents, valuable objects (venal or sentimental), cash sums or credit or payment instruments. It is the Client's sole responsibility to place the goods concerned, his own and those of the participants, in a secure place;
- the blows or injuries, direct or indirect damages, that the Client or the participants could cause to themselves or to others, notably on the occasion of fights and accidents whether or not related to a pronounced alcoholic state or the use of drugs;
- the damage caused by the Client or the participants to the materials, equipment, and/or premises of one or more other Service Providers involved in the event. The repairs and reimbursements that may be necessary following the aforementioned damage will be borne exclusively by the Client who undertakes to bear the costs of restoration. In the event that these instructions are not followed, the Service Provider declines any liability in case of damage or accident.
In any event, the compensation for any damage suffered by the Client as a result of the Service Provider's actions will be made within the limit of the amount provided for in the contract for the performance of the Services.
​
5.4 – Client's Liability
​
For the smooth running of the service, the Service Provider makes available to the Client its mobile bar and/or its caravan bar, its equipment, its glassware, and its furniture, which remains its full property. From the delivery, the Client becomes the depository and guardian of the goods and equipment delivered. The Client shall indemnify the Service Provider for any damage or total or partial loss, costs, and expenses incurred by the Service Provider and caused by the Client, one of its guests, agents, or employees resulting from the organization of the event. Any broken, lost, or damaged equipment (especially glassware) may be billed to the Client according to the current loss/damage rates. The Client remains responsible for goods of any nature (personal effects, materials) brought to the location of the Service or belonging to the participants, regardless of where the goods are stored. In this respect, the Service Provider declines any liability for damages of any kind (theft, damage...).
The Client declares to be the exclusive organizer of the event and certifies that it takes place in a strictly private setting.
The Client thereby engages its complete responsibility and releases the Service Provider from any liability for any accident, incident of any kind whatsoever, resulting from the consumption of alcohol for the entire duration of the event as well as for the return journey of all persons present at the event. The consumption of alcohol by the guests is entirely the responsibility of the Client, therefore the Service Provider cannot be held responsible. However, the Service Provider will respect the provisions of the Public Health Code and notably refuse to serve alcohol to minors under 18 years of age as well as to any person in an apparent state of drunkenness or manifestly aggressive. If the Service Provider considers that the state of drunkenness and/or aggressiveness of the Client or one of its guests is detrimental to the smooth running of its service or presents a risk to its safety or that of its subcontractors, the Service Provider reserves the right to terminate its service if no action is taken by the Client. The latter will remain liable for the entire amount indicated on the validated estimate.
5.5 – Cancellation of the Service
​
Unless otherwise agreed, if the Client cancels the reservation or terminates the present Contract before the operation, the Service Provider will retain the deposits paid regardless of the reason for this cancellation. In addition, the Client remains liable for the full price of the Contract for the right of withdrawal in case of withdrawal or cancellation by the Client less than three (3) calendar months before the date of the Service.
In the event that, for a justified reason and independent of its will, other than a case of force majeure, the Service Provider finds itself unable to perform all or part of a scheduled service, its liability shall be strictly limited to the reimbursement of the deposit paid by the Client.
No other sum may be imputed to the Service Provider as compensation, whether for moral prejudice, to cover any expenses incurred by the Client, or for an expected financial loss related to the partial or total non-performance of the service.
​
​
ARTICLE 6: EPIDEMIC
​
The Parties understand that any governmental, local restriction or any decision of a competent authority generally aimed at canceling the event will result in a refund of half of the deposit paid, less any sums already incurred by the Service Provider for the holding of the Service.
To the extent that the event is maintained in a configuration different from that provided for in the estimate (for example, a reduction in the number of guests), the Service Provider reserves the right to cancel the service for economic reasons, with a refund of the deposit, less any sums already incurred by the Service Provider for the holding of the Service.
​
ARTICLE 7: DISTRIBUTION
​
The Service Provider may reproduce or distribute all or part of the event data on social networks or on advertising media.
Event data includes photographs or videos related to the event and/or taken during the event, which may have been temporarily or definitively assigned to it by the Client. Hereby, the Client acknowledges assigning the rights relating to event data within the meaning of Article 9 of the Civil Code and the associated jurisprudence, notably the right to image. As such, it expressly authorizes their publication on the internet or on advertising media. To do so, the Client declares to have obtained express authorizations from third parties appearing in the event data, notably those of parents or guardians for minors, and thereby releases the Service Provider from any claims from third parties against it seeking to prohibit the publication of event data or to claim damages. The Client declares to be informed of the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article and to have the possibility to refuse any publication and assignment of rights of event data by mentioning "Read and approved, refusal of publication and assignment of rights" on the copy of these general terms and conditions appearing on the estimate.
​
ARTICLE 8: PROPERTY RIGHT
​
The Service Provider retains ownership of the goods sold until full payment of the price, in principal and accessories. In this respect, if the buyer is subject to receivership or judicial liquidation, the Service Provider reserves the right to claim, within the framework of the collective proceedings, the goods and services sold that remain unpaid. The Service Provider retains ownership of all intellectual property rights to studies, drawings, models, and all its creations made (even at the request of the Client) for the provision of services to the Client.
The Client therefore refrains from any reproduction or exploitation of said studies, drawings, models that may have been communicated to it.
ARTICLE 9: SUBCONTRACTING
​
The Service Provider may entrust to a third party the execution of all or part of the material or intellectual services without this being able to justify a breach of contract by the Client. Otherwise, the breach will be wrongful. However, the Service Provider undertakes to inform the Client before the execution of the service.
​
ARTICLE 10: PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE
​
10.1 – Place and Date of the Event
​
The bars, goods, and related services will be delivered and provided at the places and dates previously indicated by the Client.
In the event of a specific request from the Client regarding the conditions of provision of the Services duly accepted in writing by the Service Provider, the associated costs will be subject to a specific additional invoice, based on a prior estimate accepted by the Client.
If the date of the event were to be modified by the Client, the Service Provider cannot be held responsible for the costs incurred.
The Client undertakes to engage the Service Provider for the newly agreed date, failing which the deposit will not be refunded.
If, on the chosen new date, the Service Provider is not available, the contract will be canceled and the tariff conditions relating to the cancellation of the contract will be applied.
If the location of the event is changed, additional kilometric charges may be added to the initial rate at the rate of €1.50 per additional kilometer.
The Service Provider also reserves the right to cancel its service without financial compensation if the additional distance is greater than 150 km from Nimes or if the accessibility of the location is not suitable for the reception of a caravan.
​
10.2 – Client's Provision Obligation
​
It is the responsibility of the Client to provide the Service Provider with free access to electricity and water supplies throughout the duration of the service (installation and dismantling included). The connections must comply with French standards. The water and electricity consumed by the Service Provider in the provision of the Services will in any case remain the responsibility of the Client.
The Client undertakes to provide access to the kitchen or at least to provide a secure, suitable space to store the Service Provider's equipment. The Client will be responsible to the Service Provider for the replacement of stolen equipment outside of the Service Provider's presence and that of its employees. It may be agreed that the Client must provide the Service Provider with certain specifically designated equipment on the dates and times scheduled for its intervention. It is the Client's responsibility to ensure that they comply with applicable standards, to ensure their maintenance and upkeep, and to pay any insurance premiums related to them.
The Client must ensure that the Service Provider can easily access the chosen reception location on a ground suitable for receiving a caravan. Ms. L. requires a hard, flat surface (and if possible level) approximately 6 meters long and 4 meters wide.

The Client must also provide the necessary space for the installation of the bar(s) and/or the bar caravan.
The Client guarantees the Service Provider easy access to the location of the Service. The Client is informed that compliance with these obligations constitutes an essential condition for the acceptance of the Service by the Service Provider. It must provide all relevant information in a timely manner, particularly on the accessibility of the premises and the location of the Service Provider and its equipment.
Any proven difficulties and/or the absence of the possibility of delivering the bar(s) in the absence of a reserved parking space, the Service Provider will be entitled to refuse to perform its service. If the Service Provider decides to perform the Service, handling and logistics fees may be invoiced to the Client in addition to the initially agreed price
.
The Service Provider cannot be held responsible under any circumstances for the possible consequences of unpredictable weather.
The Client must anticipate any problems in this regard.
The Client is informed that the Service Provider will need a minimum of 2 hours for installation and 2 hours for dismantling its infrastructure.
Finally, the Client undertakes to provide a hot or cold dish during the hours of intervention to all Service Provider personnel.
Except in cases of force majeure, the Client's failure to fulfill its obligations releases the Service Provider from its obligation to provide the Services. However, the deposit paid on order and the balance of the price will remain due. The Client undertakes to collaborate in good faith with the Service Provider. The Client undertakes to keep the Service Provider closely informed of any changes related to the organization of the Service. Any change related to the Service that results in an increase in cost will be fully borne by the Client. The Client also has the obligation to implement all means it deems necessary and sufficient to prevent or reduce the effects of a breach of contract caused by a force majeure event. The Client must inform the Service Provider as soon as possible in the event of any event preventing it from performing all or part of its contractual obligations. No deliberate concealment of elements related to the Service likely to delay, hinder, disrupt, or disorganize the project shall be tolerated by the Service Provider, who reserves the right to terminate the contractual relationship without notice and without refund of the deposit paid.
​
The Client undertakes not to intervene directly, before, during, or after the event, with suppliers, subcontractors, personnel, and employees of the Service Provider. If, after a possible termination of the contract, the Client were to organize or have organized the event that was initially defined by the Service Provider, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the plagiarized projects would be due to the Service Provider.
It naturally undertakes to pay the Service Provider on the agreed dates and amounts.

The Service Provider undertakes to implement all necessary means to satisfy the Client in the organization of the Service as defined by the terms of the estimate. However, it cannot be held responsible for fortuitous events, force majeure, or acts of third parties. Nevertheless, it will endeavor, when possible, to find solutions to overcome any difficulties that arise. The estimated quantities at the time of establishing the estimate are given for information purposes only.
The Service Provider cannot be held responsible in the event of high turnout and/or stock shortage during the provision of services.
In the event that guests ask the Service Provider to prepare drinks other than those initially planned, only the Service Provider can decide whether to accept them or not, depending on the turnout, complexity, and available or provided stocks.

The parties also undertake to enforce this obligation on all members of their staff, each vouching for the other.
By exception, the Client authorizes the Service Provider to mention it among its client references in its commercial documents, regardless of the medium (brochure, website, etc.).
