Article 1
These general terms and conditions are an integral part of all contracts concluded with our company. We cannot, without prior written agreement, take into consideration the general or special conditions to which our customers or suppliers may refer in their documents. The conclusion of the contract therefore implies that the customer accepts without reservation both our general and special conditions, which take precedence over any contrary general or special conditions. Any point that is not regulated by our own general terms and conditions shall be settled by reference to common law. In case of doubt, the present conditions shall be interpreted without exception in our favour, all of them to be interpreted strictly.

Any special instructions from the client to specify the manner of performance of our obligations or to rectify previous instructions must be made in writing and at least five working days before the start of the performance operations.

Article 15 : HOMOLOGATION
Some of the parts we sell, such as locking axles, body parts, camshafts, piston kits, carburettors, exhausts and other parts, are intended to enhance the performance of the vehicle for the sole purpose of competition use. As a result, these parts are likely to modify the characteristics of the vehicle with regard to its homologation and therefore make it unsuitable for road use. By express agreement between the parties, Michel Rouet /Racing-Bull cannot be held responsible, on any occasion or in any way whatsoever, for such a modification, or for the use of the modified vehicle with the aim or effect of rendering it non-compliant with the administrative rules that are normally applicable to it.
Article 16 :TRAVAUX
In the event that Michel Rouet / Racing-Bull is required to carry out or have carried out maintenance, repair, modification or other work on parts entrusted to it by the client, it declines all responsibility for any prejudice and damage that may subsequently be caused by the said parts and which are not the result of its actions, but of those of the client or a third party (failure to comply with the assembly instructions, assembly and reassembly work carried out by an unqualified person, etc).
Article 17
All disputes fall under the jurisdiction of the Court of 26200 Montélimar, France.
