French term
dans l’exercice de ses droits
French to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
IT services contract.
"A défaut de paiement de la part du Client de tout ou partie du prix des Prestations restant dues et à la réception de la notification écrite du Prestataire, adressée après soixante (60) jours de retard à compter de la date d’exigibilité des factures et après mise en demeure préalable de trente (30) jours restée sans effet par lettre recommandée avec accusé de réception, le Client devra, sans délai et sans autre formalité, remettre au Prestataire ou à tout tiers désigné par celui-ci, la totalité des Livrables fournis et non réglés, sans pouvoir opposer d’exception, et sans préjudice de tout autre recours du Prestataire dans l’exercice de ses droits, notamment en terme de revendication ou de paiement."
I'm pretty sure this is not "in exercise of its rights", which sounds to my ears like gibberish. The best I can come up with "pursuant to its rights" or "in accordance with its rights". I think this is what it means in effect, although not entirely sure.
Any other suggestions?

acting within his rights
There may be fancier ways of saying this, but in plain English, that's how I understand this phrase. UK legalese still has its specific terminology, thankfully, but also, again thankfully, in my view, adopts a plain Anglish approach where possible.

Adrian MM.
: the translation of recours as a remedy, rather than an appeal, needs to be spelt out. Otherwise, rightfully exercised or acting intra vires dodges the his, her vs. its gender problem.

: Rather ''its'' than ''his'' rights after all.

: "its" if the "Prestataire" is not a human being; "his or her" if the "Prestataire" has a perceivable pulse-rate

: "pursuing its rights" is also UK legalese - and is far more accurate

French term (edited):
[autre recours du Prestataire] dans l’exercice de ses droits
(in vue of) pursuing its legal rights
... et sans préjudice de tout autre recours du Prestataire dans l’exercice de ses droits
=>
... and all this will not prevent (le Prestataire) from taking whatever other actions might be necessary to claim / enforce its rights
Not so small "nuance" regarding the interpretation for "dans l’exercice de ses droits" in this sentence:
the point for "le Prestataire" is NOT
to "stay within its rights" (= as opposed to: claiming "outside" of this rights, making unfounded claims)
but
to "exercise / claim / pursue" all and any have existing rights (= as opposed to: doing nothing about these rights, just sitting on them, not enforcing them )

Nitpicking again - boring. I'm deeply impressed by your understanding of nuances in legal concepts - in any language ...

: in vue of???? C'mon, this isn't nitpicking it is plain wrong although I realise you corrected the spelling - still totally wrong, you would not see this in a legal doc.
