The purpose of this contract (hereinafter known as the “Contract”) is to define the conditions according to which LEADER PRICE will provide a service to CDISCOUNT and its customers, known as the “PICK-UP SPOT” service, at the stores belonging to LEADER PRICE (hereinafter known as the “Store(s)”), i.e. a service to deliver products outside of people’s homes that consists of allowing the customers of CDISCOUNT to come to stores belonging to LEADER PRICE in order to deliver to them the products that they have ordered on the website ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, or on any other e-commerce website that is directly or indirectly operated by CDISCOUNT.

 

The LEADER PRICE Stores will also provide supplementary services as well as the “PICK-UP SPOT” service. These supplementary services are defined in Appendix 3.

 

The list of Stores that will provide the “PICK-UP SPOT” service and the supplementary services will be drawn up and updated according to the model found in Appendix 1.

 

2. DURATION OF THE AGREEMENT

 

This Contract comes into effect on 1 June 2014.

 

It is being signed for an initial term lasting ten (10) years, automatically renewable for terms of the same length, and each Party is free to cancel it at the end of each term as long as it complies with a pre-notice period of two (2) years, notice of which is given by registered mail with notice of receipt.

 

3. ORGANIZATION

 

3.1. NATURE OF THE PRODUCTS:

 

The products that will be received by the Stores to be delivered to the customers of CDISCOUNT are consumer products whose weight may exceed 30 kg (refrigerators, washing machines, etc.) or bulky products (sofas, LCD televisions, dryers, etc.).

3.2. SIGNS WITHIN THE SHOP

 

CDISCOUNT will provide a “CDISCOUNT PICK-UP POINT” Labelling and Information Kit to each store using the CDISCOUNT marketing style guide. This Labelling and Information Kit must be installed in each Store in order to direct the customer towards the area where the Pickup Point is located. This Labelling and Information Kits must be kept in the Stores throughout the term of the Contract. If it is damaged, the Store must notify CDISCOUNT immediately so that a new Kit can be set up.

 

3.3. DELIVERY TO STORES

 

3.3.1. DELIVERY DAYS

 

CDISCOUNT will deliver to the Stores on the normal scheduled delivery days as agreed to with LEADER PRICE.

 

CDISCOUNT may need to request extra delivery days, especially in planning for and/or in the course of times when there is a lot of business. Where necessary, CDISCOUNT will inform Leader Price of this and confirm the new schedule.

 

CDISCOUNT may also have to cancel these extra delivery days, especially if business is slow for “PICK-UP POINT” sales at a Store. The Store will be informed of this by CDISCOUNT, via email, with one (1) month’s notice.

 

3.3.2. TRACKING OF THE PACKAGES DELIVERED

 

Receiving and updating the software for tracking packages: Each Store agrees to update the software for tracking packages that is provided by CDISCOUNT, using a PC or a Smartphone, depending on the equipment that is available at the Store, as soon as they receive a package, and at the latest within 24 hours after it is received.

 

This information makes it possible for CDISCOUNT to then inform its customers that their packages are available at the Store, and therefore to comply with its undertakings in respect to its customers.

 

Issues upon delivery: When packages arrive at the Store, the Store must make a point of monitoring how many and what packages have been received. If the person in charge of receiving the packages at the Store is not the person in charge of uploading the information on the packages into the tracking software, the Store must make sure that its employees are certain that correct and complete information on this is shared between them.

 

Each Store must make sure that all issues as applicable are stated on the consignment notes. Consignment notes that have issues must be sent within 24 hours to CDISCOUNT, along with the “Description of Anomalies” by email to ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, and the subject line must say only “ISSUES/DELIVERY”.

 

All Stores must keep the consignment notes for one (1) year (whether they have issues or not).

 

Any request made by CDISCOUNT for a consignment note (whether it has issues or not) or for a Description of Anomalies that is not complied with within 10 days will trigger the application of the compensation measures whose rules are listed in Appendix 2.

 

The Store will keep packages that have issues reported on the consignment note, while waiting for the issue to be resolved or for the package to be returned, and will ensure that these packages are stored in a safe and secure manner.

 

Compliance with the procedure for tracking packages: Any failure to comply with the aforementioned obligations will constitute a serious breach by the Store of one of its essential undertakings.

 

3.3.3. RECOVERING PALETTES

 

CDISCOUNT will deliver the packages on palettes that are deemed to be “unrecoverable”. Upon receiving them, each Store will be responsible for destroying them or giving them to a third party of its choice.

3.4. STORING THE PACKAGES AT THE STORE

 

A storage area at the Store must be dedicated to the products belonging to CDISCOUNT. The products may be stored on a rack or on pallets on the ground. All equipment that is necessary to store the packages is the responsibility of the Store.

 

When a new Store is launched, LEADER PRICE will inform CDISCOUNT of this by emailing ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, and the subject line must say ALERT/STORAGE only, indicating the maximum storage capacity of the Store when it launches.

 

If there are any problems (changes to the amount of storage space or loss of storage space), the Store undertakes to inform CDISCOUNT immediately by emailing ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, and the subject line must say “ALERT/STORAGE” only, in order to ensure that CDISCOUNT is able to continue to carry on its activities properly.

 

The failure to comply with this undertaking may lead to CDISCOUNT refusing to pay for the services provided by the Store over the course of the term in which the business activities of CDISCOUNT were manifestly harmed by this failure to comply. The performance indicators recorded by CDISCOUNT shall serve as proof in order for the Parties to determine how long the disturbance lasted.

 

3.5. DELIVERING THE PACKAGES TO CDISCOUNT’S CUSTOMERS

 

3.5.1. Quality of reception of customers: Each Store declares that it is aware that the type of welcome that is given to customers and the services that are provided to them will have direct consequences on the professional reputation of CDISCOUNT as an e-commerce provider. As such, each Store undertakes to provide these services with the greatest possible care, and especially to always welcome the customers of CDISCOUNT in a friendly and courteous manner, to minimize their waiting time, and to ensure that the employees for the PICK-UP SPOT are dressed in appropriate working attire. Each Store furthermore undertakes to keep its premises clean and maintain a friendly atmosphere, as well as to ensure that the Labelling and Information Kit for the CDISCOUNT PICK-UP SPOT provided to it by CDISCOUNT is visible at all times.

 

3.5.2. Opening hours and schedule for customers - continuity of service: Each Store undertakes to ensure that the packages are delivered to customers at all times during its opening hours as these were declared to CDISCOUNT. Continuity of service is an essential undertaking for each Store, which must always ensure that there is a trained representative available to provide the services described in this Contract.

 

Each Store shall set its own opening hours and schedule, and undertakes to keep the Store open at least five days a week between Monday and Saturday, as well as ensuring that each scheduled opening time lasts for a continuous minimum of two hours and 30 minutes.

 

In the event that exceptional circumstances make it impossible to keep a store open for the days and or times that were initially given to CDISCOUNT, the Store undertakes to inform CDISCOUNT immediately by emailing ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, and the subject line must say ALERT/CLOSING only, in order to ensure that CDISCOUNT is able to continue to carry on its activities properly.

 

During the end of the year holidays or when Sales are happening, CDISCOUNT may request that certain Stores stay open during exceptional hours/days. The Parties shall make an agreement together on the conditions for these exceptional opening hours.

 

3.5.3 Methods for delivering packages to customers: the customers of CDISCOUNT who have been informed that their packages have arrived at the Store have fifteen (15) days, beginning from the day that the Store has updated the tracking software as indicated in 3.3.2.preceding, to come to the Store and pick up their packages. Customers may appoint a third party of their choice in order to pick up their packages.

 

In both cases, each Store warrants and undertakes the following:

 

(i)             To ensure that one piece of official identification is provided to it, according to the following list: National or Foreign Identity Card, French or foreign passport, French or foreign driver’s license, Military Identification issued by the French military authorities, Temporary Resident Card, Resident Card, Algerian Residence Certificate or proof of

Algerian nationality, a card proving nationality from a Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area. The customer may present either the original of the identification document or a copy of it.

(ii)          To verify that the identification that is presented is in fact the identification of the CDISCOUNT customer who ordered the item(s) from CDISCOUNT.

(iii)       If a third party is asked to pick up the package, the Store also undertakes to request that this third party provide the original (or a copy) of the official identification of the person who placed the order for the item(s) from CDISCOUNT.

 

In the aforementioned cases, the identity of the customer as presented must correspond to the identity that is mentioned in the “address for invoicing” section of the delivery slip for the package.

 

Before any packages delivered to a customer, each Store must ensure that the package or packages in question have in fact been uploaded to the tracking software (under the tab “delivering packages to customers”). Failing this, this breach by the Store will automatically lead to the following sanctions:

 

·                  CDISCOUNT refusing to pay LEADER PRICE for the corresponding services that have been provided by the Store;

·                  LEADER PRICE having to pay CDISCOUNT the purchase price of the product contained in the package. Purchase price is understood by the Parties to mean the price paid by CDISCOUNT to its suppliers to purchase the said product.

 

The customer must load the packages into his/her vehicle. Nevertheless, if the person is alone, is having problems loading the item into their vehicle, and requests assistance, the Store will provide assistance.

 

3.5.4. Entering Information into the software for tracking packages: As soon as a package or packages have been given to a customer of CDISCOUNT, the Store must upload this information into the software for tracking packages within 24 hours (using a PC or a Smartphone).

 

3.5.5. Signing and filing the Tracking Slip: As soon as the Store has delivered a package or packages to a customer of CDISCOUNT, it must immediately have the customer sign the “Tracking Slip” (on a PC or a Smartphone).

 

In the event that the customer wishes to report a problem about the package that is given to him, the Store will make sure to legibly report the problem of the Customer on the Tracking Slip, on a Smart phone (if the Store has Smartphone’s) or on paper (if the Store has a PC) and in that case, it will give a copy of the Tracking Slip to the customer.

 

Tracking Slips that have reported issues must be sent within 48 hours to CDISCOUNT by emailing ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, and the subject line must say ISSUE/TRACKING SLIP only.

 

The Store must keep and file paper Tracking Slips signed by customers for six (6) months.

 

Any request made by CDISCOUNT for paper Tracking Slips that are signed (whether they have issues reported or not) that is not honoured within 10 days will trigger the application of the compensation rules described in Appendix 2.

 

3.5.6. Changes for the procedure to deliver packages to customers: CDISCOUNT reserves the right to make changes at any time to the procedure for delivering packages to customers as described in Article 3.5, especially the software that is made available to each Store, whether this change is logical and/or relevant.

 

Each Store will be informed of these changes as soon as possible, and it undertakes to apply all new procedures that are sent to it by CDISCOUNT.

 

3.5.7. Compliance with the procedure to deliver packages to customers: Any failure to comply with any of the obligations described in Article 3.5 above shall constitute a serious breach by the Store of one of its essential undertakings.

LEADER PRICE, as well as each of its Stores, especially undertake to send information on all problems that they may note, as the Contract is executed, in order to make it possible for them to be dealt with as soon as possible, with both parties therefore contributing to the success of the service overall and to the satisfaction of CDISCOUNT’s customers.
