réception négative

English translation: refusal to accept / non-acceptance

French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / General terms and conditions of purchase
French term or phrase: réception négative
Under the heading:

Réception chez le fournisseur

Toute réception négative pourra faire l'objet d'une facturation au fournisseur de la totalité des coûts d'intervention de nos inspecteurs et de notre client.

Are they saying that if the goods are not accepted they might invoice the supplier for all of the intervention costs of their inspectors and client?

Can you say negative acceptance/receipt? (I can't find it anywhere on google, grand dictionnaire, euradicautom dictionnaries etc.)

Thanks for all your valuable input.

English translation:refusal to accept / non-acceptance
Explanation:
I think accept has to be in there somewhere in the English version, as réception = acceptance

In fact, I think it's a re-selling situation -- there are three parties involved.

"Delivery Refusal
If you refuse delivery of an order arriving within 3 days of your expected delivery date your account will be credited once the packages are returned to our warehouse, less applicable delivery charges to and from your destination."

Based on my working experience in the UK, this is the usual term used in this context. I have never heard anything else.
