Any payment made after the due date mentioned in the invoice shall lead to the payment of penalties, whose amount shall be three times the French legal rate of interest. These penalties are payable without the necessity of a reminder. Moreover, all the recovery costs shall be borne by the purchaser.

In application of the legal provisions, any payment which is overdue by any professional will lead to pay to the creditor a fixed sum of €40, as compensation for recovery costs.  However, if the recovery costs are higher than the amount of this compensation, the creditor may request an additional compensation, upon appropriate justification.
