Information relating to the event, including content, dates, times, location, and price, is mentioned in the quote after discussion with the customer.
The quote is communicated by Le Labo Culinaire to the customer by email.
Acceptance of the quote by email by the customer implies on the part of the latter acceptance without reservation of the general terms and conditions in effect on the day of communication of the quote available on the website.

As long as the deposit is not paid, the event booking is not final. Receipt of the deposit gives rise to written confirmation by Le Labo Culinaire.
Any late payment may result in the postponement of the event for which Le Labo Culinaire cannot be held responsible. Thus, in case of postponement of the event due to late payment of the deposit, the deposit remains due and the customer may reorganize the event, under the same price conditions, within three months following the initial event, subject to Le Labo Culinaire's availability and payment of the deposit. If the event is not reorganized within this period, the customer loses their right to the event and remains required to pay the deposit to Le Labo Culinaire as damages.

In application of the law of August 4, 2008, any amount due not paid 30 days after the Event gives rise, without prior notice, to the payment of late payment penalties at the rate of three times the legal rate in force.
4. Right of Withdrawal
Events carried out by Le Labo Culinaire constitute a restaurant service provided on a date or according to a periodicity determined by application of the provisions of Article L.121-20-4 of the Consumer Code.

If the modification results in a decrease of the total HT amount of the quote exceeding 15%, then it cannot give rise to either a price reduction or an upward revision of the price per person.
