These general terms and conditions apply to all our offers, work orders, agreements and deliveries, to the exclusion of the application of the general terms and conditions of the other party, unless departed from in an express agreement.

Art. 1. Client is whoever has placed the order, supplier is whoever has accepted to execute the order.

OFFERS AND ORDERS

Art. 2. The submission to a supplier of raw materials, a model, copy, magnetic tape, diskette, or any data carrier whatsoever, with a request, without explicit reservation, to supply a proof or design, entails the obligation to entrust the supplier with the execution of the work or to compensate him for the costs incurred.

Art. 3. The supplier's quotations are without obligation and subject to sale or sufficient stock. If wages and/or the prices of raw materials rise, the quotation prices will be revised according to the FEBELGRA indexation formula, which will be sent to the client on first request. Quotations are always drawn up without mentioning taxes, which are always borne by the client. Unless otherwise agreed, the period of validity of an offer is one month for the execution of an order within three months. The offer price only applies to the assignment mentioned in the offer.

Art. 4. In the case of compound quotations, there is no obligation to deliver a part at the unit price quoted for the whole. Commitments made by our agents or representatives shall bind our company only after written confirmation. The supplier reserves the right to demand payment guarantees from the customer even during the execution of orders. In case of refusal, it reserves the right to suspend or destroy all or part of the order.

REPRODUCTION RIGHTS AND MENTION OF THE SUPPLIER'S NAME

Art. 5. The supplier is not responsible for infringements of reproduction rights of third parties, if he carried out the printing or reproduction order in good faith. Only the client is liable. Any dispute regarding reproduction rights suspends the execution of the order.

Art. 6. In view of the legal provisions regarding artistic and industrial property and unfair competition, all models, sketches, cutting forms, typesetting, graphic designs, interpretations, arrangements, software programmes, etc. designed by the supplier remain his exclusive property and may not be copied or reproduced, regardless of the technique used. Printing

or copying in any form and by any process whatsoever, when carried out without the prior consent of the rights holder, constitutes an act of counterfeiting or unfair competition.

Art. 7. Typesetting, printing plates, cutting forms, designs, drawings, photos, films, computer files, software programmes, etc. produced by or on behalf of the supplier, whether or not charged for, form part of the latter's material. The client may not, unless otherwise agreed, before or after delivery of the work, demand their surrender. In the event that the Client places materials at the supplier's disposal, he shall do so in good time in accordance with the order schedule, packaged if the nature of the goods so requires, and on the supplier's premises. The Client shall bear the risk and cost of transporting the material to its destination. Signing the transport documents for receipt only confirms receipt of the material. Except in the event of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the supplier, its employees or agents, the risk shall remain the responsibility of the Client. Difficulties or delays during production caused by the materials delivered shall result in the extension of

terms of delivery and to possible charging of additional costs.

Art. 8. If required by law, the Client may not oppose the mention of the supplier's name, even if the printed matter already mentions the name of a publisher or intermediary, publicity agent or other.

TYPESETTING, PROOFS AND APPROVAL FOR PRINTING

Art. 9. Unless expressly provided otherwise, the choice of typeface, as well as the layout is at the supplier's discretion. The supplier is not responsible for the typographic quality of the ready-to-print models or files of formatted pages received from the Client.

Art. 10. At the request of the Client, the supplier shall provide a simple proof e.g. laser print, inkjet, blueprint, imposition proof or digital proof. However, the supplier cannot be held liable for the possible forwarding of viruses as he protects his computers against incoming viruses and he is not responsible for any damage caused by viruses.
