3. Payment: all invoices are payable at the maturity date reported on the invoice, except in case of previous and written agreement between ESC and Client. In case of disagreement, Client has a 15 day delay to contest in a written form the invoice. After this delay, any protest will be considered null and void.
Lack of respecting the payment conditions mutually agreed, a legal additional charge will automatically apply, as late payment penalty, starting from the maturity date reported on the invoice and equal to one and a half times the legal interest rate in force the day payment is due. Penalty is calculated and due on the amount still left at maturity date on simple written demand by ESC, without prejudice to any other lawsuit to compensation.

Contrariwise, Client is not entitled to any damage when ESC cancels the contract if the realization is subject to a minimum number of people participating, if ESC previously informed Client about this condition and if ESC cancels it in writing at least 7 days before the event should start.
If Client decides to cancel or if ESC has to do it because of a Client’s fault, he will have to pay for the whole fees and expenses supported by ESC to successfully carry on the mission it was entrusted to. The payment will include reconnaissance fees, the amounts paid to subcontractors for bookings and any other expense that ESC can prove. In addition, he will owe ESC and all subcontractors playing a part in the mission a penalty for damage.
