The mail is kept at the disposal of Client who can pick it up at any time during working hours. This will be delivered only to the Client or persons named, in writing by the latter, Kandbaz may require identification document, at its discretion.

Only instructions sent in writing by the Client sufficiently in advance may be taken into account.

Kandbaz trains its teams in the precise, methodical and professional management of mail and its forwarding. However, omissions or shipping errors may occur due to purely human error. As such, Kandbaz is subject to an obligation of means and shall in no event be liable for the consequences that might have resulted from this type of error or omission, which the Client irrevocably acknowledges.
Within the framework of its activities, Kandbaz may have to carry out legal formalities on behalf of its Clients.
The Client who subscribes to one of the formal offers (constitution of company, statutory modifications …) gives Kandbaz a mandate to carry out these present formalities.
The processing time for formalities fluctuates according to the formalities concerned,, therefore, Kandbaz is liable only for an obligation of means vis-à-vis the Client, including in the case of subcontracting.
It is recalled that Kandbaz is neither a law firm, nor a notary, nor an accounting firm and as such, and as provided for in law N ° 71-1130 of 31 December 1971 reforming certain judicial and legal professions and more specifically Article 54 of the said law: “No person shall, directly or through an intermediary, on a regular and remunerated basis, give legal advice or draft private deeds for others.” , Kandbaz does not provide any advice, whether paid or not, and does not write for others on a regular or unpaid basis, whether paid or not.

Kandbaz does not allow any possibility of retraction on the legal packs, from the moment the first appointment has taken place. Any cancellation or refund is therefore excluded. This principle applies in particular to the Legal Announcement order.
Any order of one of our products implies the Client’s unconditional acceptance to these present CGPS, to the exclusion of any other document such as brochures, catalogues or other materials issued by Kandbaz, which are therefore of indicative value. The Client acknowledges having read, at the time of placing the order, the special conditions of sale set out below and declares to accept them without reservation.

The applicable rates are those in effect on the day the Contract is signed. The fee for the Domiciliation Contract shall be revised by 1 January of each year to a maximum of 3% (three percent) without prior notification. The Client hereby gives his consent.

Invoices must be paid within seven (7) days of their date of issue.

Any reminder issued by Kandbaz will result in the application of the flat-rate recovery fee of 40€ HT (forty euros excluding tax) provided for in the Commercial Code.
In case of a bank rejection, excluding technical incident not attributable to the Payer, the latter must pay to Kandbaz a penalty of 12 € HT (twelve euros excluding tax) per rejected payment request which will be automatically charged without prior notification.
Any dispute over the invoice must be resolved within the month of its issue. In the case of recovery of sums due by judicial or extra-judicial means, all procedural costs (bailiff, court, lawyer …) shall be charged to the Client.
The duration of the contract and the termination terms are indicated in the contract. In the case where the contract provides for a fixed initial period, termination of the contract prior to the indicated term will be possible and accepted in return of full payment of the said period.
All Contracts, other than Domiciliation Contracts, are concluded for a minimum duration of 1 (one) month renewable for the same period by tacit agreement. The Client may terminate the Contract at any time with a one (1) month notice, which will commence on the 1st day of the month following that in which the Letter is sent by Registered Mail with Acknowledgement of Receipt notifying the termination.
The termination of the Contract by Kandbaz shall not give rise to any claim for compensation on the part of the Client, since the Contract is not subject to commercial lease regime and does not give rise to any commercial property rights.
After the termination of the Contract, and except from the case of termination by application of the resolutory clause, the Client shall specify in writing whether he wants a continuation of the mail forwarding service. This continuity of service will be charged at the current rate. Otherwise or in case of Client’s silence, the mails will be returned to the sender with the mention NPAI (Does not live at this Address).
Upon departure, the Client must justify his new address to Kandbaz. He must also provide proof of a Kbis extract or any other original official document of transfer of the Head Office, change of address or its cancellation. Otherwise, the Contract shall take effect on the conditions prevailing at the date of the termination and until the actual production of the said document.
It is specified that the following events are not recognized as a termination of the Client and, as such, do not exempt the Client’s payment of bills:
· After signing the contract the created company never had any activity,
· Change of Manager,
· Transfer of Head Office without prior termination of the contract,
· Hibernation,
· Dissolution without prior termination of the contract.
And generally any event other than the termination of the Contract itself.
