Terms of Service

1. Publisher

This website is published by EPR Representative, with offices in Paris, France. Contact: contact@eprrepresentative.com. Hosting provider: Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, California 91789, USA.

2. Scope of service

EPR Representative acts as a French Extended Producer Responsibility authorized representative under Article 8a §5 of Directive 2008/98/EC and the French Environment Code (L. 541-10 and following). The service is provided under a written civil mandate (French Civil Code articles 1984 and 1998).

The service does not include VAT compliance, customs services, corporate filings, product safety or CE compliance, intellectual property protection, or any service unrelated to French EPR execution.

3. Producer status retained

In accordance with the Conseil d Etat ruling of 10 November 2023 (case 449213), the appointment of an authorized representative does not transfer the producer status or the underlying obligations to the representative. The client remains the producer for all legal purposes.

4. Pricing and invoicing

Service fees are set out on the pricing page (€490 setup per stream, €249 per month per stream, excluding VAT). Eco-contributions billed by the eco-organisms are passed through at cost on a separate invoice line. The client authorizes EPR Representative to advance eco-contributions and re-invoice them.

Invoices are payable within 14 days. Late payment triggers interest at the rate set by the French Commercial Code (article L. 441-10), plus the statutory €40 recovery indemnity.

5. Client obligations

The client provides accurate product data (categories, materials, weights, volumes), valid company identification, and timely updates when the product mix changes. The client remains responsible for the accuracy of declared data.

6. Liability

EPR Representative acts with the diligence expected of a professional mandatary. Liability is limited to direct damages and capped at twelve months of service fees paid by the client. Indirect damages, lost profits, and reputational damages are excluded.

7. Termination

Each party may terminate the mandate with 30 days written notice. On termination, EPR Representative hands over registration data, IDU numbers, and open declarations to the client or to a successor representative. Termination does not relieve the client of accrued obligations.

8. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms and the mandate are governed by French law. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris, France, unless a mandatory consumer protection rule applies.
