All payments are to be made on receipt of invoice, unless otherwise stipulated in the special terms and conditions.

If any amount of an invoice is disputed, the Customer shall inform BNP Paribas Personal Finance of the grounds for such dispute within five working days by recorded delivery letter and shall make prompt payment of the undisputed amount.

Penalties for late payment will be applied as of right, that is to say automatically, without any official notice required, from the first day after the payment date shown on the invoice, or by default on the 31st day following the date of receipt of the goods or performance of the service requested.

In addition, non-payment may entitle BNP Paribas Personal Finance to compensation.

Late payment interest is calculated on the amount outstanding exclusive of taxes.

Once the payment due date has passed, the account will be transferred to the collection department. All late payments will automatically give rise to a fixed charge of €40 to cover recovery costs. If the costs to which BNP Paribas Personal Finance is exposed in recovering outstanding receivables are higher than the amount of this fixed charge, BNP Paribas Personal Finance may ask for additional compensation to be paid by the Customer on production of evidence, in accordance with Article L. 441-6, paragraph 12 of France’s Commercial Code (Code de commerce).
