The Client shall proceed to the final validation of its order after having validated or amended its address for delivery, means of delivery and method of payment and by checking the validation box of the GT&CS to this effect.

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT. The applicable prices are set out on the Site and in the fact sheets related to the Products and Services. As the case may be, it may happen that the specificity of an order shall prevent the Corporation from providing pricing in advance.

However, it undertakes to invoice the Products and/or Services ordered at the prices set out in the order confirmation E-mail. The settlement of orders shall be effected by bank card, check or transfer of funds.
