Terms of sale

1. Scope

These terms govern all services provided by FY FACULTY (Faculty): strategy and communication, print and physical media, digital and LED media, event production, equipment rental and show production.

They apply to professional clients unless expressly agreed otherwise, and prevail over the client's own purchase conditions. Signing a quotation implies full acceptance of these terms.

2. Quotations and orders

Quotations are valid for 30 days and are based on the brief, dimensions, files and dates supplied by the client. An order is firm once the quotation is signed and the deposit received.

Any change to the brief, materials, dimensions or dates after signature is subject to an amended quotation and may affect the lead time.

3. Client files and approvals

The client warrants that it holds the rights to all logos, images, fonts and texts supplied and indemnifies Faculty against any third-party claim.

Production starts only after written approval of the proof (bon à tirer). Approval transfers responsibility for the content, spelling and colour references validated to the client. Print colour may vary slightly between substrates and runs; such variation is not a defect.

4. Lead times, delivery and installation

Lead times run from proof approval and receipt of the deposit. They are given in good faith and may be extended by force majeure, supply shortages, venue access restrictions or late client approvals.

The client is responsible for providing access to the site, power supply, and any authorisations required by the venue, the organiser or the local authority. Waiting time or a return visit caused by unavailable access is invoiced additionally.

5. Equipment rental

Rented equipment remains the property of Faculty at all times. The client is custodian from delivery until collection and is liable for loss, theft or damage at replacement value.

A deposit or bank guarantee may be requested. Equipment must be returned complete, clean and in its original packaging; cleaning, missing accessories and repairs are invoiced. Late return is invoiced at the daily rate.

6. Prices and payment

Prices are quoted in euros excluding VAT. Unless otherwise agreed, a deposit of 40% is payable on order and the balance within 30 days of invoice date.

Late payment incurs interest at three times the legal rate plus a fixed recovery indemnity of €40 (articles L.441-10 and D.441-5 of the French Commercial Code), without prior notice. Faculty may suspend production or installation while an invoice remains unpaid, and retains ownership of goods delivered until full payment.

7. Cancellation

Cancellation after order confirmation is invoiced for all work already engaged: design time, materials ordered, printing launched, reserved equipment and committed staff. Cancellation less than 7 days before an event is invoiced at 100% of the quotation.

8. Warranty, liability and law

Visible defects must be reported in writing within 48 hours of delivery or of the end of installation. Faculty's liability is limited to the amount of the invoice for the service concerned and excludes indirect losses such as loss of profit, image or opportunity.

These terms are governed by French law. In the absence of an amicable settlement, exclusive jurisdiction is granted to the Commercial Court of Marseille.
