Clause 6: Late payment
In case of total or partial non-payment of delivered services, the buyer will be reminded and must justify the reasons or force majeure for the delay. The assignment will be suspended.
If no amicable solution is found, EG2SI reserves the right to claim compensation and penalties for recovery costs, in accordance with Article L441-10 of the French Commercial Code (late penalties are due without reminder) from the day following the due date indicated on the invoice.

- In accordance with the description of the client's needs at the time of the order.
The delivery time indicated at the time of the order is for reference only and not guaranteed.
Therefore, any reasonable delay in the completion of services or deliverables shall not entitle the buyer to:
- Claim for damages;
- Cancel the order;
In case of disagreement on the quality of deliverables, the buyer must express all necessary reservations. These must also be confirmed in writing within five days of the disagreement, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.
Clause 8: Force majeure
EG2SI shall not be held liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under these terms results from a force majeure event. Force majeure refers to any external, unforeseeable, and irresistible event under Article 1218 of the French Civil Code.
Clause 9: Termination – Contract resolution
- 9.1 Termination for breach
If one of the parties fails to fulfill any of its essential contractual obligations and does not remedy this within 30 days following a formal notice sent by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, the other party may terminate the contract by right, without prejudice to any damages.
- 9.2 Termination for convenience
Each party may terminate the contract at any time, provided that it notifies its decision in writing with a 30-day notice. Services performed up to the effective termination date shall be invoiced pro rata.
- 9.3 Effects of termination
Termination of the contract, for any reason, does not affect rights and obligations already arisen between the parties. Clauses relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, liability, and jurisdiction shall survive the termination
- 9.4 Early client disengagement
For services invoiced hourly or daily, EG2SI undertakes to remain available to the client as per the expressed needs, based on a forecasted schedule or an implicit or explicit agreement for regular involvement. This availability commitment implies voluntary limitation of allocation to other projects
In the absence of written notice of mission end or temporary suspension, any unilateral disengagement by the client (unplanned activity reduction or service stoppage) without 30 days’ written notice will entitle EG2SI to invoice a disengagement compensation equal to 50% of the average monthly amount invoiced over the last 3 months, pro rata to the unnotified notice period.
This provision aims to cover opportunity losses due to unnecessary maintained availability and to ensure minimum planning visibility for EG2SI.
