The Customer is required to provide all the necessary information while placing an order. This information should be complete, precise, and up-to-date. In the event of any infringement of the terms of the present article, The Company reserves the right to cancel the order.

Any unilateral cancellation of an order by a trader will not be accepted without consent of The Company. If, despite this, the buyer cancels an order, acceptance of the cancellation shall give rise to a compensation set at 10% of the amount of the order, all tax included, and a forfeit of any advance payment that may have been made.
