Article 1 – PREAMBLE any request for transport, engagement, shipment, or any operation implies acceptance by the Client of the General Conditions, unless otherwise agreed between the parties. The “Order Giver” designates, within the meaning of these terms, the person, or his principal, who requests HTR to provide transport either for his own account or for the account of a third owner of the equine or equines which he will designate to HTR « HORSETRUCKRENT – HTAIR » (the « Beneficiary »).

Article 2 – FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT these General Conditions govern the relations between HTR and the Client and / or the Beneficiary and apply automatically to any request for the transport of Equidae. The contract between HTR and the Principal is formed according to commercial customs and in particular verbally in the event of an emergency. If the contract is concluded by the Client on behalf of the owner of the equine animal, the powers of this Client are established by the delivery of documents relating to the animal, or the signing of the transport contract.

Article 3 – REQUEST FOR TRANSPORT requests for horse transport to HTR, subject to these General Conditions, are issued by the Client in writing or by any other means, including by telephone and must in particular indicate the following: place of loading and unloading of the animal, the names and full contact details of the Client whether the owner of the animal or a third party, the recipient (names, first names, address, telephone number …), The dates and if necessary the hours of loading and unloading, the specificity of the animals when it requires special provisions or any other information or document necessary for the proper performance of the transport operation. If the transport request as referred to in the first paragraph of this Article, is issued by the Client on behalf of a third Beneficiary, and in particular the owner of the animal, the transport request must clearly identify the third party in question, their names, first names, addresses (domicile and invoicing if different), or their company name, RCS or equivalent, as well as any other information that could be useful for the execution and invoicing of the services. The request can consist of a road and / or maritime and / or air transport service from a place of loading to a specific place of unloading or more broadly can give HTR complete freedom to organize the transport of the animal by the processes he sees fit. Whatever the service to be performed, it will be carried out by HTR in accordance with the law in force. Upon receipt of the transport request issued by the Principal, HTR, as soon as possible, will confirm, in writing or by any other means (in particular by sms), (i) its acceptance to carry out the transport thus requested and (ii) the corresponding estimate. All of these elements will be included in an email addressed to the Client and, if necessary, to the owner of the animal, if the owner is not the Client. The acceptance of the services and the estimate thus transmitted by HTR materializes the irrevocable and final nature of the transport request issued by the Principal; the transport contract in question being concluded irrevocably upon acceptance.

Article 4 – INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CONTRACTOR complete transport instructions must be given for each shipment in the transport request, as indicated above. General and standing instructions are not allowed. The Principal is required to provide HTR at the latest upon removal with the documents relating to the designation of the equine animal and allowing its identification, the equipment necessary for its attachment, as well as any protective equipment for its convenience if he wishes the latter to be particularly protected. He must also provide the list of equipment and products to accompany the animal as well as any other information that may be useful for transportation (vices, tares, diseases, value, intolerance to painkillers). Changes to the instructions made after confirmation of the transport request sent by HTR (as indicated in Article 3 of these General Conditions), will not be accepted or taken into account in the organization of transport. The Client bears sole responsibility for all consequences arising from incorrect, incomplete or late declarations or documents. The care of carrying out specific formalities or operations can in no case be considered to be left to HTR’s initiative, apart from the actual transport.

Article 5 – PRICES, INVOICING AND PAYMENT TERMS billing may be carried out electronically under the conditions provided for in article 289 b or 289 v of the CGI. In the event that the Principal is also the Beneficiary, he will be invoiced for the cost of transporting the animal corresponding to the accepted quote, under the conditions set out below. In the event that the Client requests the transport of an animal belonging to a third party he designates; the invoice will be made out in the name of the third party so designated and a copy of the invoice will be sent to the Client. The transport price is established according to the type of vehicle used, its equipment, the nature of the goods, its weight, its volume, the distance of transport, delivery times, the insured relationship, characteristics of the traffic, specific traffic constraints, the duration of the provision of the vehicle and the crew, more generally the costs generated by the requested service, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 95-96 of 1 February 1995 concerning unfair terms and the presentation of contracts and governing various economic and commercial activities as well as the quality of the service rendered. In addition, in accordance with article L. 322-1 of the Transport Code, the transport price initially planned will be automatically revised to cover any variation in charges linked to the variation in the cost of fuel. Our prices are only valid if the shipment takes place according to the routing instructions previously communicated in view of the establishment of the estimate. They may be reconsidered if the service is provided more than thirty days after the establishment of this estimate, unless prior agreement. In application of the decree of October 20, 2000, the transport price can also be revised in the event of significant variations in charges due to conditions external to the latter. Unless otherwise stipulated, the transport prices do not include the duties, fees and taxes collected by the tax or customs authorities (such as entry fees, taxes, truck tax, etc.), nor the accommodation costs or any other incidental costs, unless these costs are expressly specified in the offer. Depending on the case, the Client or the third-party Beneficiary undertakes to pay these costs; the price can only be given as an indication from station to station and from airport to airport. It is recalled that there is solidarity between the sender and the recipient for the payment of all transport costs, as provided for in Article L. 132-8 of the Commercial Code. Payment of the invoice must be made within 30 days from the date of its issue, in accordance with applicable law. A flat-rate compensation of 40 euros per invoice is due as of right from the first day of late payment, as provided for in Article D. 441-5 of the Commercial Code. Failing payment within this period, the amount of the invoice will be increased by interest corresponding to the Bank of France discount rates in effect at the time of issuance of the invoice increased by two points. When exceptionally payment terms have been granted by HTR to the debtor, non-payment at a single due date will automatically and without any formality, forfeit the term, the balance of the claim of HTR becoming immediately due. This non-conforming acceptance of the cash payment principle does not entail any novation of the transport contract or the General Conditions, HTR retaining all of its rights and prerogatives.
