The Contract is concluded by GIOLIBO LLC’s acceptance of the Customer’s order.
1.2. GIOLIBO LLC’s General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter “GTCS”) shall prevail over the Customer’s terms and conditions, even if the latter specify that they alone are valid.

2.1. The delivery of a model or a photo with a request to carry out a project, implies the commitment to entrust GIOLIBO LLC with the definitive reproduction of the same. Without prejudice to GIOLIBO LLC’s right to request the forced execution of the order by the Customer, in case of cancellation of the order by the Customer, GIOLIBO LLC shall be entitled to a compensation of 20% of the price of the order in addition to the expenses already incurred.
By costs, we mean everything that has directly or indirectly led to the realization of the project (in particular: discussion of the project, travel, administration, designer’s fees, production costs, fixed costs, etc.). These costs will be invoiced by GIOLIBO LLC.
2.2. Our price quotations and order forms are only valid if their acceptance is received within 30 days, the date of the quotation or order form being the proof, and provided that the customer does not make any changes to the elements used to establish the price. After the 30-day period, GIOLIBO LLC shall be entitled to modify the price. Prices agreed upon verbally are only binding on us if they have been followed by a written offer.
2.3. Unless otherwise agreed, all prices given by GIOLIBO LLC shall be in US Dollars (USD).

The creations, graphic projects, sketches or any information whatsoever accompanying the price offer transmitted to the Customer by way of illustration shall remain the exclusive property of GIOLIBO LLC.

The Customer expressly guarantees to have obtained from the persons who may be represented on the graphic creations their written authorization to reproduce their image and to use it in accordance with the provisions of the GTCS. Consequently, the Customer guarantees GIOLIBO LLC against any claim or recourse that would be brought by a person represented on the work because of the use of the latter in the context of the work.
The Customer expressly guarantees to have obtained all the necessary authorizations to represent and use as provided for in the Contract all the elements reproduced, in particular objects, works of art, monuments, private places, achievements, etc. The Customer guarantees GIOLIBO LLC against any recourse that would be brought by the owner or the possessor of the represented objects and/or by the holder of the intellectual property rights on these objects.

In this case, we are entitled to revise the price, if the Customer does not comply with our request within one week after our summons by any appropriate written means (email, fax, letter).
5.3. The execution, at the Customer’s request, of a job in a shorter time than the normal or agreed time, entitles GIOLIBO LLC to charge a supplement.

GIOLIBO LLC shall not be obligated to perform its obligations in case of force majeure, which includes natural disasters, acts and orders of the competent authorities, acts of terrorism or war, fire, theft of equipment, etc., as well as any other event that could not reasonably be foreseen and overcome.
In case of force majeure, the obligations of GIOLIBO LLC shall be suspended until the circumstances preventing the performance of these obligations have been resolved.

Failure to provide the Documents within the time limit set by GIOLIBO LLC shall entitle GIOLIBO LLC to terminate the Contract by granting a prior period of 30 days to provide the Documents. In such a case, the services actually performed until the date of termination of the Contract shall be invoiced to the Customer.
11.1. Unless otherwise agreed, the shipping and packaging costs for the shipment of the order shall be borne by the Customer.
