Terms of Sales

Purpose and scope

These general terms and conditions of sale (GTCS) form the basis of commercial negotiation and are systematically sent or given to each purchaser to enable them to place an order.

The general terms and conditions of sale described below detail the rights and obligations of the MEWANKO FARM association and its customers in the context of the sale of the following goods: nappies, milks, care and cleaning products.

Any acceptance of the quotation/order form, including the clause "I acknowledge that I have read and accept the attached general terms and conditions of sale", implies the buyer's unreserved acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale.

Prices

The prices of the goods sold are those in force on the day the order is taken. They are denominated in CFA francs and calculated inclusive of tax. Consequently, they will be increased by the transport costs applicable during validation of the order.

MEWANKO FARM reserves the right to modify its prices at any time after renegotiation with its producers. However, it undertakes to invoice the goods ordered at the prices indicated when the order is registered.

Discounts and rebates

The prices quoted include any discounts and rebates that the Mewanko Association may grant on the basis of its results or the assumption of responsibility by the purchaser for certain services. 

Terms of payment

Orders may be paid for by Orange Money, bank transfer or Paypal.

Payment must be made before delivery.

 Late payment

In the event of total or partial non-payment of goods delivered on the due date, the purchaser must pay the MEWANKO FARM association a late payment penalty equal to the legal interest rate.

The legal interest rate applied is that in force on the day of delivery of the goods.

This penalty is calculated on the amount including tax of the remaining sum due, and runs from the due date of the price without any prior formal notice being necessary.

In addition to the late payment penalties, any sum not paid by the due date will automatically give rise to the payment of a fixed penalty of 25,000 FCFA to cover collection costs.

Retention of title clause

The MEWANKO FARM association retains ownership of the goods sold until full payment of the price, in principal and in accessories. In this respect, if the purchaser is the subject of receivership or liquidation proceedings, the MEWANKO FARM association reserves the right to claim, within the framework of the receivership proceedings, the goods sold and remaining unpaid.

Force majeure

The MEWANKO FARM association cannot be held responsible if the non-execution or delay in the execution of one of its obligations described in these general conditions of sale results from a case of force majeure. In this respect, force majeure means any external, unforeseeable and irresistible event.

Competent court

Any dispute relating to the interpretation and performance of these general terms and conditions of sale shall be subject to Cameroonian law, depending on the address of the office that coordinated the transaction.

Failing amicable resolution, the dispute will be brought before the Yaoundé Court of First Instance.
