sous risque d'exclusion

08:03 Jun 10, 2013 

Hello Rosys,
For general background, you say this is a commercial bid. Could you indicate what is being bid for?
In what part of the General Terms and Conditions does your sentence appear? What else is happening in this part of the contract?

...purely from the syntax here, I wouldn't have thought the 'sous risque d'exclusion' refers to the 6 month time limit (otherwise it wouldn't be a limit, would it? "You must claim within 6 months, otherwise we might not take any notice")

I didn't explain myself very well here, sorry!

What I meant was that they are saying that any claim must be formulated in due legal form — for example, sent in writing by Registered Post — and give all the required information, otherwise the claim might be rejected. There might be more or less to the 'revendication juridique' than this, depending on the exact overall context.

I would read it as relating more to the 'revendication juridique' — i.e. "if you take us to Court, you may lose"; OK, it doesn't mean 'take them to Court' specifically... but you see what I'm driving at?
