The Client is required to read these T&Cs before any request for Services.

In the event of a contradiction between these T&Cs and the Special Conditions, the Special Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
The Client declares that he has read these T&Cs and accepted them before the conclusion of the contract for the provision of the Services. The validation of the order for Services by the Client constitutes unrestricted or unreserved acceptance of these T&Cs.
As these T&Cs may be subject to subsequent amendments, the version applicable to the Client’s purchase is the one in force on the day the contract is concluded.
Conditions of intervention of INSCIO AVOCATS
INSCIO AVOCATS implements the means at its disposal to carry out the mission entrusted by the Client in accordance with the instructions transmitted by the Client and according to the conditions, in particular deadlines, explicitly agreed with him.
The Services rendered by INSCIO AVOCATS in the context of the mission entrusted to it are based on its best analysis of the facts, information and documents brought to its attention or made available to it by the Client and on the state of French law on the date of the said Services.

Invoicing
Fees
INSCIO AVOCATS’ fees are in principle calculated on the basis of a scale of hourly rates according to the degree of experience of the lawyers involved in the assignment. These hourly rates are communicated to the Client on request. By way of exception, certain Services may be subject to lump sums depending on the Services requested by the Client and/or be supplemented by a success fee. In any event, the amount of fees due to INSCIO AVOCATS for the Services is set by the Special Terms and Conditions accepted by the Client.
Fees and disbursements
The sums claimed in respect of INSCIO AVOCATS’ fees do not cover the costs and disbursements from third parties (experts, notaries, applicant representatives, bailiffs, registration fees with the public treasury, court fees, etc.) as well as any travel expenses that will be borne directly by the Client under the conditions defined by the Special Terms and Conditions or, from time to time, after an exchange between the Client and INSCIO AVOCATS, in particular an exchange of emails.
The fees do not include the costs and disbursements paid for the purposes of carrying out the Servuces. They are invoiced in addition to the fees, without margin, and are detailed in the fee notes.

Methods of payment of invoices for costs and fees
Unless otherwise stipulated in the Special Conditions, invoices for costs, disbursements and fees are payable upon receipt, it being specified that INSCIO AVOCATS may, depending on the Services, request a provisional payment to be applied to the fees.
The costs, disbursements and expenses will be paid without delay by the Client, either directly to the professional who invoiced them, or to INSCIO AVOCATS who will have made the advance payment on behalf of the Client.
Suspension of Services in the event of non-payment
In the event of non-payment of invoices for fees and costs, INSCIO AVOCATS reserves the right to suspend the performance of the Services, without prior notice, of which it will inform the Client by drawing his attention to the possible consequences.
Divestiture
In the event that the Client wishes to relinquish jurisdiction to INSCIO AVOCATS and transfer its case to another lawyer, the Client undertakes to pay without delay the fees, costs, disbursements and expenses due to INSCIO AVOCATS for the due diligence carried out prior to the divestment.
In the event that a success fee is provided, the fees to be paid to INSCIO AVOCATS will be determined by the time spent in the performance of the Services by INSCIO AVOCATS’ lawyers.
Professional Liability
Unless otherwise agreed with the Client, the liability of INSCIO AVOCATS or any person practising within it may only be incurred by the Client within the limit of the pre-tax fees collected by INSCIO AVOCATS in respect of the Services or the part of the Services for which the liability of INSCIO AVOCATS or any person practising within it is sought. In any event, the liability of INSCIO AVOCATS or any person practising within it is limited to direct damage, to the exclusion of any other, and in particular to loss of opportunity or profit relating to the alleged fault.

INSCIO AVOCATS has no obligation to independently verify or have verified the information or documents transmitted by the Client.
