Selection of the carrier and delivery route may be made by Centre Biotechnique Avancé unless specifically designated in writing by the customer. All transportation charges from Centre Biotechnique Avancé’s facility shall be paid to Centre Biotechnique Avancé by the customer in addition to the purchase price of the products. Subject to Centre Biotechnique Avancé’s right of stoppage in transit, delivery to a carrier will constitute delivery to customer, and risk of loss will thereupon pass to the customer; however, title shall remain in Centre Biotechnique Avancé until payment in full for the products by customer.

Delivery of any installment of products within thirty (30) days after the date requested will constitute a timely delivery. Thereafter, delivery will be timely unless prior to shipment Centre Biotechnique Avancé has received written notice of cancellation. Delivery of a quantity which does not vary by more than ten percent (10%) from the quantity specified therefore will constitute full performance of such delivery. Delay in delivery of one installment will entitle customer to cancel that installment only. Customer is responsible for all import taxes, tariffs, levies, or fees.
Force Majeure: Centre Biotechnique Avancé will not be liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform its obligation due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, product allocations, material shortages, labor disputes, transportation delays, unforeseen circumstances, acts of nature, acts or omissions of other parties, acts or omissions of civil or military authorities, government priorities, fire, strikes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, or war.
