Where the concession contract provides for a procedure to verify the conformity of the services, it may stipulate that the payment period runs from the date on which this conformity is established, if this date is later than the date of receipt of the request for payment.
The duration of the verification procedure may not exceed thirty days. However, a longer period may be stipulated in the concession contract, provided that this does not constitute a manifest abuse of the creditor’s rights, in particular with regard to custom or good practice. In the absence of an express decision within this period, the services are deemed to be compliant.
