TERMS OF SALES

AVENT MEDIA GROUP (hereinafter « AVENT MEDIA GROUP ») is a Marketing & Digital communications agency that uses the latest technological platforms to define and anticipate consumer behavioral issues. AVENT MEDIA GROUP offers a wide range of Services (hereinafter the « Service(s) ») and creates different types of marketing campaigns on behalf of Advertisers.
In the case of media plans (purchase of space), paid referencing (sponsored links), AVENT MEDIA GROUP acts as an intermediary on behalf of the Advertiser; and therefore is part of a signed mandate certificate in principle for each calendar year.

By entrusting a Service, the Advertiser accepts the constraints inherent in the multiple aspects and capacities of the complex and evolving media that is the Internet. The Advertiser acknowledges that AVENT MEDIA GROUP is only bound by a simple obligation of means (unless otherwise explicitly stated on the order form in terms of an obligation of result) and declares 1/ that it has the full capacity of commitment of its company and 2/ that it has full competence and understanding of the terminologies and tools used and more generally of the content of the Service entrusted to AVENT MEDIA GROUP at the time of the order and subsequent exchanges.

The Service is subject to the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereafter: « GTC ») and the Special Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereafter: « STC ») established at the time of the order; the GTC and STC prevail over any other terms and conditions of purchase of the Customer.
In the case of a media plan (purchase of space) and/or paid referencing (sponsored links), the Service is also subject to the GTCs of the media.

1/ Orders
The sending of an estimate to the customer (in the form of an order form or mandate contract) only commits AVENT MEDIA GROUP after validation by its Management. The order form summarizes the agreed services, the main terms and conditions, and the budget dedicated to the Service; the terminology used can always be specified by AVENT MEDIA GROUP upon consultation of the glossary or simple request. The sending of a signed order form by the Advertiser constitutes acceptance without reservation of the GCS and CPV by the latter. AVENT MEDIA GROUP reminds you that its GCS are always available on request and can be freely consulted 24 hours a day on its website; the GCS are in principle attached to the order and/or mandate and are therefore always binding on the Customer. AVENT MEDIA GROUP reserves the right to modify its GCS, provided that it informs the Advertiser by any means, and the Advertiser undertakes to regularly consult the GCS available on the Internet before placing any order.

2/ Evidential force of electronic notifications
All data, information, files and any other digital element exchanged with the Client, as well as any expression of will, including by electronic means, relating to the Service shall constitute admissible, valid, opposable and probative evidence of a private act. The Advertiser undertakes not to contest the admissibility, validity, opposability or probative force of the aforementioned elements of an electronic nature or in electronic format, on the basis of their electronic nature. In the absence of proof to the contrary, these elements will be valid and opposable between the parties in the same manner, under the same conditions and with the same probative force as any document that would be drawn up, received or kept in writing. All notifications must be sent by e-mail to the e-mail addresses indicated by each of the parties. It is therefore incumbent on the Customer to ensure at all times that the postal or electronic contact details and data communicated to AVENT MEDIA GROUP under the terms of the order form and relating to its account are up to date and accurate throughout the duration of the Service. To this end, the Advertiser undertakes to notify AVENT MEDIA GROUP without delay, in writing, of any change in these elements.
