Le défaut de prononcé de réception...vaut acceptation.

[schweet]

Hi

I understand what this sentence means, but can't get the phrasing right. Here's the context:

"Le défaut de prononcé de réception dans les délais impartis de 30 jours de calendrier vaut acceptation."

It's talking about a company who has 30 days to say whether it accepts a product or not and if there is no response, then the supplier can assume the products have been accepted.

Thanks for your help

défaut = lack
The lack of any declaration stipulating the receipt within 30 days is acceptance.
