All the usual suspects don't seem to work here: the term of the catalogue, the period of validity?

reword
For English O-Ton, my inclination would be to reword this as along the lines of 'We (expressly) reserve the right to modify the prices listed in this catalogue due to changes in production costs.' IMO the reason it's difficult to find any references for language such as 'the term of the catalogue' is that such language is rarely if ever used in English -- a catalogue is tacitly assumed to be valid for a certain length of time, or (quite commonly) the term of validity is expressly stated.
So, in English, common wording would be 'Catalogue prices valid until <date>. Prices subject to change without prior notice.' (or possibly 'We reserve the right to modify the listed prices due to changes in production costs.')

Oops, that was supposed to read 'Catalog prices valid until [date].', but I used angle brackets instead of square brackets and the HTML parser stripped out the term.

Long-winded, but perhaps that will nudge you in the right direction.
