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.

Or re-phrase it:

Should goods not be accepted by our client, the totality of our inspectors' and our client's expenses may be invoiced [to party X].

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