Source text - Spanish XIV.- LA MULTA Esta parte de la resolución es de un grado de arbitrariedad fenomenal. El articulo 46 de la ley en su inciso b) establece que la multa “se graduara en base a: 1. La perdida incurrida por todas las personas afectadas por la actividad prohibida; 2. El beneficio obtenido por todas las personas involucradas en la actividad prohibida; 3. El valor de los activos involucrados de las personas indicadas en el punto 2 precedente, al momento en que se cometió la violación.” Como presupuesto básico para que se pueda aplicar la multa esta el que se haya cometido la violación a la ley. En el artículo 49 se establece que se deberá considerar la gravedad de la infracción, el daño causado, los indicios de intencionalidad, la participación del infractor en el mercado, el tamaño del mercado afectado, la duración de la práctica o concentración y la reincidencia o antecedentes del responsable, así como su capacidad económica. Es importante señalar que aparece como una constante para la fijación de la multa la existencia de un daño, y por el otro lado el beneficio obtenido. No se requiere mayor análisis para comprender que si no se ha causado daño, no ha habido beneficio ilícito. También es interesante destacar que al exigirse daño, se requiere una conducta efectivamente llevada a cabo en el mercado, ya que si tal conducta no existió, no pudo haber existido daño, ni al interés económico general ni a nada. Comienza la Comisión por señalar la dificultad que existe en fijar una multa. Desde luego que esta afirmación constituye la introducción para fijar una multa con la arbitrariedad más absoluta. Para la Comisión el que sea difícil fijar la multa, le permite hacer cualquier cosa, como enseguida veremos. Además, no es nada difícil fijar una multa cuando hechos y cifras están debidamente probados. En el caso, ¿que otra cosa puede decir la Comisión si no ha probado ni hechos ni cifras? Recurre entonces la Comisión, a la “experiencia internacional”, como si fuera el salvoconducto a la arbitrariedad. Dice que los daños que el cartel provoca se estiman mayores que el beneficio ilícito obtenido por los participantes. No nos consta que la experiencia internacional, arroje esta conclusión, pero de todas maneras nos preguntamos, y le preguntamos a V.E.¿El que pase algo en otro lado significa que pasó aquí? No nos sorprende que la Comisión, ante la ausencia total de pruebas, recurra otra vez a la generalización fácil y a la invocación de “experiencias internacionales” para sustentar su caso. Pues bien, la Comisión, que no probó hecho alguno, tampoco probó que hubiera habido daño sobre la población, ni probó que hubiera beneficio ilícito. Explica su razonamiento la Comisión, sosteniendo que al precio colusivo las cantidades son inferiores a las correspondientes al precio de competencia. La Comisión no ha probado que hubiera tal precio colusivo. ¡No hay un solo ejemplo en el que la Comisión pueda decir que las condenadas acordaron y vendieron a un determinado precio! A pesar de ello, la Comisión se permite hablar de precio colusivo. Observe V.E. que la propia Comisión al hablar del “umbral” de los $2, reconoce la enorme disparidad de precios que hay entre las partes?. La Comisión habla de “precio colusivo”, y luego sanciona a los “precios dispares?”.	Translation - English 14. – THE FINE This part of the ruling displays an extraordinary degree of arbitrariness. Article 45 of the law in its subparagraph b) establishes that the fine "shall be calibrated on the basis of: 1. The loss incurred by the parties who were affected by the proscribed behavior; 2. The benefit obtained by all those involved in the proscribed behavior; 3. The value of the assets involved of the persons indicated in the foregoing item 2 at the moment when the violation occurred.” A basic requisite for applying this fine is that there must have been a violation of the law. Article 49 establishes that the gravity of the infraction must be taken into account, the damage caused, the indications that it was intentional, the conduct of the offender in the market, the size of the market affected, the duration or intensity of the activity, whether it is a repeated offense or the culprit has a criminal record, as well as his economic standing. It is important to point out that what appears as a constant requisite for setting the fine is that harm has taken place, and on the other hand, what benefit has been obtained. It requires no further analysis to understand that if no damage has occurred, no illicit benefit has been gained. It is also interesting to emphasize that in claiming such damage, conduct carried out in the marketplace is also required, for if there was no such conduct, there can not have been any harm, to the general economic interest or to anything else. The Commission starts by pointing out the difficulty of setting a fine. Needless to say, this affirmation serves as a prelude to setting a fine in an extremely arbitrary manner. For the Commission, the fact that it is difficult to set the fine allows it to do anything, as we shall soon see. Furthermore, there is not the slightest difficulty in setting a fine when facts and figures have been duly proven. In the present instance, what else could the Commission say, considering that it has not proven the facts or the figures? Here the Commission invokes "international experience,” as if this were a veritable safe conduct pass passport to arbitrariness. It says that the damages caused by the cartel are estimated to be greater than the illicit benefit obtained by the participants in the scheme. It would not appear that international experience demanded this conclusion, but in any case we do wonder and ask the Court to consider, does the fact that something happened somewhere else mean that it happened here? It does not surprise us that the Commission, faced with a total absence of evidence should turn once more to facile generalization and invoke “international experience” to shore up its case. Very well, the Commission, which has not established a single fact, has also not proved that there was any damage to society nor proved that any illicit benefit was obtained. The Commission explains its reasoning by maintaining that the rigged price is lower than the corresponding market price. The Commission has not proved that there was a rigged price. There is not a single instance in which the Commission can state that the defendants agreed upon a given price and sold at that price! In spite of this, the Commission permits itself to speak of a rigged price. May it please the Court to observe that the Commission itself, when it speaks of a “threshold price” of $2, recognizes the enormous disparity of prices there is among the parties? The Commission speaks of a “rigged price” then proceeds to sanction “different prices.”

A falta de disponibilidade física de produto no Parque, quando o saldo da conta de produto da XXXXX seja maior ou igual aos levantamentos solicitados; b. A contaminação do produto, sua perda total ou parcial e a existência de derrames que excedam os limites acordados, salvo se estas circunstâncias forem devidas a casos de força maior, caso fortuito ou acção de terceiros, e completamente alheios à Subconcessionária, que fez o necessário para evitar os prejuízos, avisando imediatamente a XXXXX; c. Qualquer outro incumprimento grave das condições fixadas no presente contrato, que seja imputável à Subconcessionária e que cause um prejuízo à XXXXX, por implicar ou acarretar directa ou indirectamente, uma violação das obrigações assumidas pela XXXXX perante a YYY, em especial: - Desvio do fim da concessão; - Oposição repetida ao exercício da fiscalização ou reiterada desobediência às determinações legitimas da YYY, ou de outras entidades competentes; - Violação grave da lei e dos regulamentos; - Procedimento judicial com decretamento de penhora, arresto, arrolamento ou qualquer outro que tenha por objecto a apreensão dos bens que se situem na área concessionada; - Interrupção da exploração das instalações construídas na área concessionada, por um período superior a seis meses. 3.

Para efeitos desta cláusula, a prestação de serviços considera-se incumprida pela Subconcessionária caso esta, após ter sido interpelada por escrito pela XXXXX para o fazer, não tenha sanado a sua actuação no prazo dado para o efeito pela XXXXX.	Translation - English Article 39 (Breach of Contract) 1. Non-fulfillment by either one of the Parties of the obligations arising from the provision of services confers upon the other Party in general legal terms the right to rescind this contract, without detriment to the corresponding legal indemnifications. 2. For the purposes of the foregoing Section, the following are considered breach of contract on the part of the Subcontractor: a. Lack of physical availability of the product at the Park when the balance of the product account of XXXXX is greater or equal to the amount that is being requested. b. Contamination of the product, its total or partial loss and the occurrence of spills that exceed the agreed limits, unless these circumstances should be owing to cases of force majeure, acts of God or actions by third parties, and completely unrelated to the Subcontractor, who did what was necessary to avoid losses, and immediately informed XXXXX; c. Any other serious breach of compliance of the fixed conditions of this contract that can be imputed to the Subcontractor and that cause a loss to XXXXX, by implying or causing directly or indirectly a violation of the obligations assumed by XXXXX with respect to YYY, in particular: - Thwarting the purpose of the contract; - Repeated opposition to the conduct of oversight or ongoing disobedience of the legitimate determinations of YYY or other competent entities; - Serious breach of the law and the regulations; - Legal proceedings resulting in a sentence of seizure, attachment, conducting an inventory or any other that has as its object the seizing of property that is located in the contracted area; - Interruption of the use of the facilities constructed in the contracted area, for a period greater than six months. 3. Indemnification for damages and losses caused to XXXXX shall be calculated on the basis of the following formula: I = V* (1/2 T), where: I = Indemnification due to XXXXX; V = Annual volume shipped during the year immediately preceding the current year multiplied by the price or variable rate that has been agreed upon; T = Time of the duration of the contract that remains to be fulfilled, counting from the date of the written judicial notice served on the Subcontractor by XXXXX. 4. For the purposes of this Article, the Subcontractor is considered in breach of contract if the latter has not remedied its conduct after having been served by XXXXX with a citation requiring it to do so within the period allowed for such purpose by XXXXX.

Source text - Spanish La Sala de la Corte Suprema consideró lo siguiente: “visto el dictamen fiscal: PRIMERO: A la fecha de la sentencia de segunda instancia, 20 de noviembre de 19xx, (fa. 10, n. 12v.) se hallaban vigentes las reformas a la Ley de Licitaciones y Concurso de Ofertas publicadas en el Registro Oficial el 27 de agosto de 19xx. SEGUNDO: Según el Artículo 61 establecido por dicha reforma, de la sentencia de segunda instancia no hay recurso de tercera. TERCERO: El referido precepto se refiere a las controversias judiciales sobre los contratos en los que sea parte el Estado o Entidades del sector público, y por ende sobre el presente juicio. CUARTO: Con arreglo a la regla vigésima del Art. 7° del Código Civil las Leyes concernientes a la sustanciación y ritualidad de los juicios prevalecen sobre las anteriores desde que comienzan a regir—puntualizando excepciones que no vienen al caso. Por lo expuesto, siendo improcedente el recurso de tercera instancia y la consulta, la Sala se inhibe de conocer la causa y ordena devolver el proceso al Tribunal remitente para los fines de Ley.	Translation - English The Chamber of the Supreme Court found as follows: “regarding the supervisory ruling: FIRST: On the date of the judgment of the second instance, November 20, 19xx (p. 10, v. 12) the amendments to the Law for Solicitation of Contracts and Competitive Bidding published in the Official Registry on August 27, 19xx were in effect. SECOND: According to Article 61 established by the amendment in question, there is no appeal to the third instance for decisions of the second instance. THIRD: The aforesaid precept concerns lawsuits involving contracts to which the Government or Public Sector agencies are a party, and therefore applies to the present case. FOURTH: In view of Article 7, regulation 20 of the Civil Code, laws concerning the conduct and procedural order of trials prevail over the preceding considerations inasmuch as the latter base themselves upon objections that are not relevant. Therefore, since the appeal to the third instance and the review are without standing, the Court refuses to hear the case and orders it returned to the issuing Tribunal for the purposes of the Law.

La Société se réserve le droit de résilier toute commande ou partie de commande qui ne serait pas livrée dans les délais contractuels, sauf cas de force majeure officiel-lement déclarés ou reconnus comme tels par les autorités administratives locales. Les cas de force majeure doivent être notifiés à la Société dans les cinq jours calendaires de l'événement, faute de quoi le Fournisseur ne pourra s'en prévaloir. Le désistement d'un sous-traitant ne sera pas considéré comme un cas de force majeure. La Société pourra demander au Fournisseur de lui communiquer dans les cinq jours calendaires l’état d’avancement des approvisionnements, des fabrications et/ou des prestations liés aux produits objet de la commande. La Société se réserve également, à tout moment, un droit de visite chez le Fournisseur pour constater l'état d'avancement de sa ou ses commandes et des livraisons à venir. 7. Retard - Pénalité Le Fournisseur s'engage à prévenir immédiatement la Société de tout événement susceptible d'entraîner un retard dans la livraison des produits par rapport au délai porté sur la commande. Le Fournisseur s'engage à mettre en oeuvre, à ses frais, tous moyens permettant de combler ce retard, étant précisé qu'à cette fin, une expédition par voie rapide aux frais du Fournisseur pourra être exigée par la Société. Si, à titre exceptionnel, la Société accepte un report de la date limite de livraison des produits commandés, elle pourra subordonner cette acceptation au paiement par le Fournisseur d'une indemnité de retard. Cette pénalité sera de 0,5 % par jour de retard calculé sur le montant total de la commande (prix des achats hors taxes). Les livraisons partielles ne peuvent donner lieu à aucune déduction des pénalités. 8. Résiliation ou réduction de commande La Société se réserve le droit de résilier ou de réduire la commande dans l'éventualité où le Fournisseur refuse ou est incapable de remplir ses obligations conformément aux conditions de ladite commande. Dans ce cas, la Société pourra demander au Fournisseur de conserver, en ses locaux, lesdits produits et de les laisser à sa disposition pour un temps déterminé. la Société aura, à tout moment, la faculté de transférer sa commande à un tiers d'office sans préavis, aux frais, risques et périls du Fournisseur. Tout surcoût ou perte résultant pour la Société de cette résiliation ou de cette réduction sera à la charge du Fournisseur, sans préjudice des pénalités de retard et/ou des dommages-intérêts que la Société pourrait demander à ce dernier. Il en ira ainsi en particulier si les défaillances (manquants ou autres) du Fournisseur empêchent la Société de respecter ses propres engagements vis à vis de ses clients. 9. Livraison anticipée - Excédent de livraison la Société se réserve le droit de retourner aux frais, risques et périls du Fournisseur les livraisons lui parvenant plus de 30 jours calendaires avant la date prévue, ainsi que de refuser les quantités excédentaires non prévues dans la commande. 10. Conformité des marchandises - Refus Tout produit non conforme aux spécifications de la commande, au cahier des charges, et/ou aux remarques spécifiques faites par la Société sur les prototypes, sera refusé et sera retourné en port dû, le Fournisseur étant tenu de les reprendre. Tout produit refusé donnera lieu à un avoir. Les produits fournis en remplacement, dans les meilleurs délais, feront l'objet d'une nouvelle facturation mentionnant les numéros de l'avoir et de la commande initiale. Dans le cas où la Société accepterait, à titre exceptionnel, des marchandises défectueuses, les coûts supportés par elle pour leur remise en état seraient répercutés sur le Fournisseur. 11. Prix Sauf clause contraire stipulée aux conditions particulières, les prix sont fermes et non révisables, "rendu Montpellier, droits acquittés". Le Four-nisseur se conformera strictement aux instructions de la Société, et tous les frais supplémentaires résultant de leur inobservation seront à sa charge. 12. Facturation Au titre de chaque livraison, une facture comportant le numéro du bon de commande correspondant doit être adressée en deux exemplaires à l'adresse indiquée dans les conditions particulières. Le Fournisseur ne facturera que les produits effectivement livrés et conformes à la commande. 13. Paiement Toute demande de paiement de la part du Fournisseur doit faire l'objet d'une facture. Les paiements sont effectués par la Société sous réserve de conformité des produits et des factures aux spécifications et clauses de la commande. Sauf stipulation contraire, les règlements seront effectués à 60 jours le 10 du mois suivant. 14. Transfert de propriété Le transfert de propriété des produits s'effectue selon le droit commun. En conséquence, toute clause de réserve de propriété est inopposable à la Société. 15. Utilisation des produits commandés et des éléments remis au Fournisseur Les produits fabriqués, en totalité ou en partie, par le Fournisseur, à la demande de la Société, ainsi que tout élément remis par cette dernière au Fournisseur et/ou élaboré par celui-ci à partir des créations de la Société (i-e dessins, modèles, prototypes, tissus, cadres d’impression, griffes...), ne doivent être utilisés que pour la réalisation des commandes de la Société. Les éléments remis au Fournisseur sont confidentiels et restent la propriété de la Société. Le Fournisseur s'engage à les lui restituer en bon état une fois la commande exécutée, voire à première demande de celle-ci. 16. Droits des tiers En acceptant la commande, le Fournisseur se porte garant envers la Société que les produits com-mandés ne portent pas atteinte aux droits de tiers, cette garantie ne s'appliquant pas pour les spécifications imposées par la Société; néanmoins, et même dans ce dernier cas, le Fournisseur aura un devoir de conseil à l'égard de la Société. 17. Garantie Le Fournisseur garantit les produits, objet de la commande, pendant un an contre tout défaut (notamment de conception ou de matière), et s'engage à remédier promptement, à ses frais, à tout défaut de ce genre qui lui serait signifié par écrit pendant la période de garantie. Il garantira en outre les dégradations liées à l’usage et à l’entretien des produits dès lors que les consignes indiquées par lui auront été respectées. Le Fournisseur sera tenu de garantir les défauts de la chose vendue à la Société dans les termes des articles 1641 et suivants du Code Civil français, pendant un délai d’un an à dater de la livraison. 18. Travail dissimulé Le Fournisseur garantit à la Société qu’il respecte les obligations légales françaises et/ou européennes concernant le travail dissimulé. En outre, il remettra à la Société, tous les 6 mois, tout document justificatif visé par lesdites réglementations. Le Prestataire supportera tout paiement que la Société se verrait contrainte d’effectuer du fait de la violation par le Prestataire des obligations précitées. 19. Sous-traitance Le Fournisseur pourra sous-traiter tout ou partie de ladite commande auprès des sociétés qui lui sont affiliées. Si tel n’est pas le cas, et compte tenu du caractère "intuitu personae" de la commande passée par la Société, le Fournisseur ne pourra sous-traiter tout ou partie de ladite commande qu'après en avoir informé la Société et obtenu l'accord préalable écrit de celle-ci. Dans tous les cas, le Fournisseur sera garant solidaire envers la Société des prestations effectuées par ses sous-traitants, et devra répercuter sur ses sous-traitants les obligations mises à sa charge par les présentes conditions, notamment l'obligation de confidentialité, l’interdiction du travail dissimulé et du travail des enfants. 20. Publicité - Confidentialité En aucun cas, et sous aucune forme (y compris sur le réseau Internet), les commandes de la Société ne peuvent donner lieu à une publicité directe ou indirecte sans l'autorisation écrite préalable de celle-ci. Le Fournisseur s'engage à ne pas divulguer, communiquer à des tiers ou utiliser à des fins personnelles ou au profit de tiers les éléments (notamment les dessins, modèles, prototypes, tissus, cadres d'impression, griffes...) ou informations (spécifications techniques via le cahier des charges par exemple) que la Société aura pu lui remettre. Le Fournisseur s'interdit de les imiter, reproduire ou faire reproduire, directement ou par des tiers. De même, le Fournisseur s'engage à n'exposer les produits fabriqués suivant les éléments remis ou informations données par la Société qu'avec l'autorisation écrite préalable de celle-ci. Enfin, le Fournisseur s’interdit de communiquer ou céder à des tiers les chutes éventuelles de tissus, les marchandises refusées et/ou les reliquats des marchandises qui seraient défectueuses et/ou excédentaires. Le sort de ces chutes, marchandises refusées et/ou reliquats sera convenu au cas par cas par la Société. 21. Responsabilité Le Fournisseur est responsable du stockage, de la conservation et de la garde de tous les éléments remis par la Société ainsi que des produits commandés. Il devra notamment souscrire, à cet effet, toutes assurances "Dommages aux biens" couvrant la valeur de la commande ou celle des produits remis par la Société, ainsi que les conséquences (notamment les pertes d’exploitation) subies par la Société du fait de la perte partielle ou totale de ces éléments et/ou de ces produits. Le Fournisseur s’engage à communiquer ces contrats d’assurance à première demande de la Société. 22. Dispositions générales Le Fournisseur est tenu d’aviser sans délai la Société de toute ouverture dune procédure collective à son encontre. En cas d’annulation de lune quelconque des stipulations des présentes conditions générales d’achat, les parties s’efforceront de renégocier de bonne foi une clause économiquement équivalente. Le fait pour l’une des parties de ne pas exercer, à un moment quelconque, une prérogative qui lui est reconnue par les présentes conditions générales d’achat, ne pourra en aucun cas être interprété comme une renonciation expresse ou tacite de cette partie à son droit d’exercer ladite prérogative dans l’avenir. 23. Compétence et loi applicable En cas de contestation et à l'occasion de tout litige, le Tribunal de Commerce de Paris sera seul com-pétent, même en cas de pluralité de défendeurs ou d'appel en garantie. Le droit applicable est le droit français. Le prestataire reconnaît avoir pris connaissance des Conditions Générales d'Achat figurant dans un document séparé ou au verso et reconnaît que l'acceptation de la commande de la Société vaut acceptation des Conditions Générales d'Achat.	Translation - English GENERAL PURCHASE CONDITIONS These general purchase conditions govern the entirety of the relations between the Supplier and the Company. Any Supplier who enters into contracts with the Company undertakes to respect its standards of quality and its code of conduct, as well as the notebook of terms and specifications sent to it by the Company. On all documents (confirmations of delivery, invoices, corres-pondence, etc.), the references to include are the name of the Supplier, the number of the purchase order and/or the number of the release plan. 1. Scope The specific conditions set forth on the first page, and/or concerning the successive release plans prevail over any provisions at variance with these general purchase conditions, which themselves prevail over the Supplier’s conditions of sale. 2. Orders Purchase orders (for supplies and/or manufacture) specify the technical, business and administrative conditions, as well as the schedules for delivery required of the Supplier. No modification to these conditions and schedules can be taken into consideration if it has not been the subject of a written agreement between the two parties. Price, quantities, quality and schedules for completion are the essential conditions of the agreement between the parties. 3. Acceptance of purchase order Unless the Supplier rejects a purchase order within seven calendar days of its dispatch, such order shall be considered definitely accepted by the Supplier, just as these general purchase conditions and the Company’s notebook of terms and specifications are accepted, without any possibility of unilateral modi-fication of any kind. This acceptance will take effect retroactively to the date of issue of the purchase order. 4. Packing The products ordered will be protected by sufficient packing materials to provide protection from the means of transport indicated in the purchase order. Unless the packing materials are provided by the Company, any damage sustained up until the arrival of the products at the place of delivery and/or any loss that can be ascribed to insufficient or defective packing will be at the expense of the Supplier, and the latter shall provide replacement of the damaged and/or missing products at its cost, pursuant to the conditions of the purchase order and as swiftly as possible. The billing for packing materials not provided by the Company will not be accepted by the latter unless such billing is provided for in the purchase order. Each parcel shall have the following information on it: contents, gross weight, net weight. 5. Deliveries Unless there is a provision to the contrary in the specific conditions, deliveries will be made to the Company at Montpellier, "delivered, duty paid," with the transfer of risks occurring at this place. The products will be insured by the Supplier at its expense against loss, theft, breakage, damages and all other risks during its passage up until it reaches the agreed upon delivery place. The fact of receiving the order during the Company’s normal business hours, does not constitute a presumption of acceptance of such order as far as its compliance with specifications is concerned. 6. Schedules Delivery schedules, raw materials, and/or products to be manufactured by the Supplier indicated in the purchase order are strictly binding. The dates of delivery are those of the arrival of the products at the agreed upon delivery place. The Company reserves the right to cancel any purchase order or part of a purchase order that is not delivered within the contractual schedules, except in cases of force majeure that have been officially declared or recognized as such by local government authorities. Cases of force majeure should be communicated to the Company within five calendar days of the event, without which the Supplier shall not be able to avail itself of this provision. The withdrawal of a sub-contractor will not be considered a case of force majeure. The Company shall be able to ask the Supplier to communicate to it within five calendar days the state of progress concerning supplies, manufacturing, and/or services associated with the products that are the object of the purchase order. The Company also reserves at all times the right to visit the Supplier to ascertain the state of progress of its purchase order or orders and pending deliveries. 7. Lateness – Penalties The Supplier undertakes to apprise the Company immediately of any event that may give rise to a delay in the delivery of the products with respect to the deadline set forth in the purchase order. The Supplier undertakes to initiate, at its own expense, any measures serving to mitigate such delay, and it is specified that to such end, the Company may require the Supplier to send items by express delivery at the latter’s expense. If, under excep-tional circumstances, the Company accepts an extension of the deadline for the delivery of the products ordered, it may make such acceptance subject to the payment by the Supplier of a fine for lateness. This penalty shall be 0.5% of the total amount of the order per day of lateness (purchase prices excluding taxes). Partial deliveries cannot give rise to any reduction of penalties due. 8. Cancellation or reduction of purchase order The Company reserves the right to cancel or reduce a purchase order in the event that the Supplier should refuse to fulfill, or be incapable of fulfilling its obligations pursuant to the conditions of the aforesaid purchase order. In such a case, the Company may ask the Supplier to retain at its facilities the products in question and to keep them available for a given period of time. The Company will have at all times the prerogative to transfer its order to a third party at will, without prior notice, at the expense, risk and hazard of the Supplier. Any surcharge or loss incurred by the Company by such cancellation or reduction shall be at the expense of the Supplier, without impairment to the lateness penalties and/or damages that the Company may claim from the latter. This shall be the case particularly if such defaults (losses or otherwise) by the Supplier should prevent the Company from upholding its own commitments with respect to its customers. 9. Early delivery – Excess delivery The Company reserves the right to return, at the expense, risk and hazard of the Supplier, deliveries that arrive more than 30 days prior to the deadline, as well as to refuse excessive quantities not called for in the purchase order. 10. Compliance of merchandise – Rejection Any product that does not comply with the specifications of the purchase order, the notebook of terms and specifications and/or with specific indications made by the Company on the prototypes, will be rejected and returned freight paid, and the Supplier shall be obliged to accept them. Any product refused will give rise to an outstanding credit. Products that are provided as replacement, as swiftly as possible, shall be the object of new invoicing citing the numbers of the credit outstanding and the initial purchase order. If, in an exceptional case, the Company should accept defective merchandise, the costs it incurs to restore it shall be passed on to the Supplier. 11. Price Unless there is a provision to the contrary stipulated in the specific conditions, prices are firm and not subject to revision, "delivered at Montpellier, duty paid." The Supplier shall comply strictly with the Company’s instructions, and any additional charges resulting from non-compliance shall be at its expense. 12. Invoicing With each delivery, an invoice bearing the number of the purchase order in question should be sent in two copies to the address indicated in the specific conditions. The Supplier shall not invoice for any products except those actually delivered and in compliance with the purchase order. 13. Payment Any request for payment by the Supplier should be expressed in an invoice. Payments are to be made by the Company subject to the compliance of the products and invoices with the specifications and provisions of the purchase order. Unless otherwise stipulated, settlements shall be made in 60 days on the 10th of the following month. 14. Transfer of ownership The transfer of ownership of the products takes place in accordance with ordinary law. As a consequence, any reserve clause of ownership is unenforceable against the Company. 15. Use of products ordered and items sent to the Supplier Products ordered by the Company that are manufactured in whole or in part by the Supplier, as well as any item sent by the latter to the Supplier and/or created by the Supplier on the basis of the creations of the Company (i.e., drawings, models, prototypes, sketches, fabrics, printing screens, labels...), should not be used except for the execution of orders placed by the Company. Items sent to the Supplier are confidential and remain the property of the Company. The Supplier undertakes to return them to the Company in good condition once the purchase order has been executed, whenever the Company may request them. 16. Claims by third parties In accepting the purchase order, the Supplier guarantees to the Company that the products ordered are not subject to claims by third parties, with this guarantee not applying for specifications imposed by the Company; nevertheless, and even in the latter case, the Supplier shall have a duty to advise the Company. 17. Guaranty The Supplier guarantees the products, which are the object of the purchase order for one year against any defect (notably of design or material), and under-takes to remedy promptly, at its own expense, any defect of this kind that may be communicated to it in writing during the period of guarantee. Further- more, it will guarantee against product failure caused by the use and handling of products, as long as the instructions issued by it shall have been observed. The Supplier undertakes to guarantee defects of things sold to the Company pursuant to the terms of Articles 1641 and following of the French Civil Code, for a period of one year starting from the date of delivery. 18. Clandestine Labor The Supplier warrants to the Company that it respects French and/or European legal obligations concerning clandestine labor. In addition, it will send to the Company every 6 months any pertinent documents of certification called for by such regulations. The Service Provider will make good any payments that the Company is forced to disburse as a result of a violation by the Service Provider of the aforesaid obligations. 19. Sub-contracting The Supplier may sub-contract all or part of the purchase order in question with companies with which it is affiliated. If such is not the case, and bearing in mind the relationship between the two parties in the purchase order placed by the Company, the Supplier may not sub-contract all or part of the purchase order in question without having so informed the Company and obtained its prior agreement in writing. In all cases, the Supplier provides a joint guarantee to the Company for services performed by sub-contractors, and shall have to enjoin its sub-contractors to uphold the obligations imposed upon it by these conditions, notably the obligation of confidentiality, the pro-hibition of clandestine labor, and of child labor. 20. Advertising – Confidentiality In no circumstances and in no way (including on the Internet) can the Company’s purchase orders give rise to direct or indirect advertising without prior written authorization by the latter. The Supplier undertakes not to divulge, communicate to third parties or use for personal ends or for the profit of third parties any items (notably drawings, models, prototypes, fabrics, printing screens, labels...) or information (technical specs from the notebook of terms and specifications, for example) that the Com-pany may have sent to it. The Supplier engages not to imitate them, or reproduce them or have them reproduced, directly or by third parties. Similarly, the Supplier undertakes not to expose products manufactured using any items sent or information provided by the Company except with the prior written authorization of the latter. Finally, the Supplier engages not to communicate or assign to third parties any possible cuttings of fabrics, rejected merchandise and/or remainders of merchandise that may be defective and/or surplus. The disposition of these cuttings, rejected mer-chandise and/or remainders shall be settled on a case by case basis by the Company. 21. Liability The Supplier is responsible for the storage, conservation and protection of all items sent by the Company as well as the products ordered. To this end, the Supplier should in particular take out insurance policies for « Damages to Goods » covering the value of the purchase order or that of the products sent by the Company, as well as the consequences (notably operating losses) suffered by the Company from the fact of the partial or total loss of these items and/or these products. The Supplier undertakes to communicate these insurance policies whenever the Company may ask for them. 22. General Provisions The Supplier is bound to inform the Company without delay of any initiation of a legal proceeding concerning it. In the event of the nullification of any one of the stipulations of these general purchase conditions, the parties shall endeavor to negotiate in good faith a clause that is economically equivalent. The fact that one of the parties may not exercise at any given moment a prerogative ac-corded to it by these general purchase conditions, cannot under any circumstances be construed as an express or tacit waiver of its right to exercise the aforesaid prerogative at a future time. 23. Competence and applicable law In case of a dispute, and in the event of any litigation, the Court of Commerce of Paris will be the only competent venue, even in a case of multiple defendants, or one involving third parties. The applicable law is French law. The service provider acknowledges that it has been made aware of the General Purchase Conditions set forth in a separate document and on the reverse side of this page, and acknowledges that the acceptance of a Company purchase order entails acceptance of the General Purchase Conditions.

Bio

I have been translating Spanish, French and Portuguese since 1980, and have worked in many fields and areas of specialization. At various times in my life I have lived in France, Spain and Latin America, and currently divide my time between São Paulo and New York City. During the 1980s I helped manage a major agency in New York City (Legal Language Services), and coordinated teams of translators turning around big legal projects on tight deadlines, focusing on maritime, real estate and business litigation. I have worked as an interpreter at legal and social security hearings in NYC and for the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of the American Indian. Recent work includes legal, medical, business and general translation, annual reports and sustainable development reports, anti-smoking legislation, company websites, quarterly reports for companies on the São Paulo securities exchange (Bovespa), company press releases, film and tv scripts, documents of the philanthropic sector, NGO's and international agencies, tourist industry documents, all sorts of journalism, history, art criticism, literary translation, and many other kinds of texts. I have a pretty good idea of when to say "no" to a job or to a deadline, which is something like the beginning of wisdom in this line of work.
