Via Agency may at any time change the country classification method, change the pricing schedules and the rates themselves, and create special cases. Via Agency may at any time choose to offer specific rates that may deviate from the general schedules presented by Via Agency. These may include promotional rates, specific campaigns, and targeted sales approaches.

The criteria, rates, creation of country groups and/or a country's position within a group may change at any time by decision of the Service Provider. Countries and country groups are provided for informational purposes only and may change very quickly.

The Services are provided at the Provider's rates in effect on the day the order is placed, according to the order form previously established by the Provider and accepted by the Client, as indicated in the "Orders & Characteristics" article above. The rates are net, excluding VAT, and are expressed in euros, the reference currency.

Exchange rate

Depending on each country of origin and/or location of the customer, the latter may, according to the legislation in force, have the possibility of paying by credit card. The customer can choose to pay in a currency other than the Euro among the following currencies: USD, GBP, CHF, XAF, XOF, CDF, MGA. In this case, the rate in euros is converted into the currency of his choice on the basis of the exchange rate of the day updated by the supplier that openexchangerates.org every day at 4:15 p.m. (Paris time, i.e. UTC + 1 in winter time and UTC + 2 in summer time). The rate converted into currency appears on the order form and invoices. In the event of a dispute, the reference rates are those denominated in euros. In the event of non-convertibility and/or depreciation of a currency against the Euro, the Service Provider reserves the right to cancel orders whose conversion into Euro has not been executed due to non-convertibility and/or for any reason, including technical, banking, financial, administrative; or, at an exchange rate that is too low or unfavorable to Via Agency. The Service Provider alone reserves the right to decide whether an exchange rate is too low, unfavorable and/or unconvertible for its business.

Payment method

– Payment by SWIFT transfer settles the Services in cash and in full on the day of the Provision of the Services ordered, under the conditions defined in the article “Execution of the service” below, and as indicated on the order form given to the Client. The payment period cannot exceed 30 days after the date of execution of the requested service. The invoice is sent to the Client after payment.

This rate is equal to the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its most recent refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points. Late payment penalties are due without the need for a reminder. The penalties are based on the amounts owed by the Customer and are calculated on the basis of the price including tax shown on the invoice and not the price excluding tax.

Execution of the service

Execution timesThe Services requested by the Client will be provided within 14 working days from receipt by the Service Provider of all the elements necessary for the execution of the services (the technical and administrative elements provided must perfectly correspond to the characteristics requested by the Service Provider) and from receipt of payment for the entire order for payments by SWIFT transfer or from receipt of payment for the first installment of the order for payments by credit card. The period of 14 working days is extended to 30 working days for orders placed during the months of July, August and December.
This deadline does not constitute a strict deadline and the Service Provider cannot be held liable to the Client in the event of a delay in the Provision of Services not exceeding 30 working days.

Ad Compliance. In the case of the sale of advertising space, a deadline for the execution of the service allows the Service Provider to check whether the texts and visuals transmitted by the client are compliant with Via Agency's editorial charter and the technical specifications appearing in the advertising space purchasing interfaces of the Service Provider's sites. This also allows to check whether the selected price scale is compliant with the advertisement transmitted. In the event of non-compliance, the client is informed by email, the finding of non-compliance suspends the deadline for the execution of the service until the texts and visuals are brought into compliance. Compliance is the client's responsibility. The Service Provider may modify the formats of the texts and visuals in order to correspond to the standards defined by the Service Provider to allow, among other things, a good visualization of the clients' advertisements. The Service Provider may offer the Client a compliance service which will be the subject of a specific quote. In the event of refusal to comply, or failure to respond within five working days to a request for compliance from the Service Provider, the Service Provider will not be held liable, the service will be suspended or cancelled at the sole decision of the Service Provider, and the Service Provider will offer the customer a refund for the order less administrative, legal and technical processing costs, the amount of which is equal to 50% of the total amount of the order.
Advertisements and the elements that make up advertisements must fully and completely comply with French law and Via Agency's editorial charter.

In the event that they are translated into one or more languages, only the French text shall be authoritative in the event of a dispute.

Acceptance

These General Conditions of Sale are expressly agreed to and accepted by the Customer, who declares and acknowledges having full knowledge of them, and therefore waives the right to rely on any contradictory document and, in particular, its own general conditions of purchase, which will be unenforceable against the Service Provider, even if it has been made aware of them.
