No special conditions will take precedence over these Conditions of Service unless expressly stated in writing on the final and binding purchase order.

The execution of any service by the Service Provider implies the Client accepts these Conditions of Service and waives his own general terms and conditions. Any other disposition, in the absence of manifest consent, will be ineffective against the Service Provider, regardless of the time at which he/she may have been made aware of it.

That the Service Provider does not exercise one or more of the provisions in these Conditions of Service shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the Service Provider's right to exercise any of the provisions in these Conditions of Service at a later date.

Le fait que le Prestataire ne se prévale pas à un moment de l'une quelconque des présentes conditions générales de vente, ne peut être interprété comme valant renonciation à se prévaloir ultérieurement de l'une quelconque desdites conditions.

  1. Quotes and orders

Each order placed by the Client shall be preceded by a free quote issued by the Service Provider based on the documents or information provided by the Client.

The quote the Service Provider sends to the Client by regular mail or electronic mail shall include:

  • The way in which the service was priced. A service is billed either at a flat rate, at an hourly rate, or based on the Service Provider's rates at the time the quote is prepared;
  • The date of delivery of the service;
  • Any special rates applied because of urgency, specific research, or any other service that goes beyond the services usually provided by the Service Provider.

To confirm an order, the Client must return the unaltered quote with the Client's written approval and signature to the Service Provider by regular mail if the quote was sent to the Client by regular mail. If the Client received the quote by electronic mail, the Client may confirm the order by expressing this clear acceptance by return electronic mail. If the Service Provider does not receive the order confirmation, the Service Provider reserves the right not to commence work on the project concerned.

If confirmation of the order is not received within three (3) months of the date the quote is sent by the means stipulated above, the quote shall be considered null and void.

The Service Provider reserves the right, after informing the Client, to charge an additional fee and/or not to adhere to the delivery date on the Client's initial order in the following cases:

  • Modification or addition of new features by the Client after the initial quote was prepared by the Service Provider, in which case the Service Provider reserves the right to adjust the rate based on the additional volume of work estimated or requested.

In the absence of the Client's express acceptance of the new delivery and/or invoicing conditions, the Service Provider reserves the right not to commence work.
Unless otherwise stated on the quote, costs incurred during the provision of services (travel, courier or postal fees, etc.) shall be charged to the Client.

Any decisions to offer a discount, reduction, or sliding fee scale based on a percentage or flat flee are at the sole discretion of the Service Provider and only for the service to which they apply.
