"Article X - PRIX
Sauf stipulation contraire, les prix indiqués sur la commande de ABC s’entendent hors taxes, fermes et non révisables, fourniture rendue à l'adresse de livraison, port, emballage et assurance compris, nets de tout droit.
Toute modification ne pourra intervenir qu’après accord écrit et préalable de ABC. En toute hypothèse, aucune modification de prix ne pourra intervenir si un délai de prévenance de trois mois minimum n’a pas été respecté."
As I read it, this can only mean "period of notice", but that's instinct. I've had a quick root around the web. This term is bugging me. Can anyone confirm or correct?

Notice period
Yes, I think this is legal speak for période de préavis, i.e. modification or termination of contract. The idea of prévenance also includes the idea of courtesy (i.e. please be so kind as to forewarn us). So here it appears to be a tone-down version of préavis (which reminds one of handing in your notice at work). I can't think of a better term in English than notice period.

Comment: "This was indeed it. Rather than being a toned down version it is apparently just another much less common term."
