ARTICLE 5.1: ACCESS TO SERVICES AND PRODUCTS

The majority of the coaching programs offered are transmitted in real time through instant messaging for smartphones, tablets and computers. In this context, the Seller offers the Customer the possibility of choosing the instant messaging system he/she wishes to use for the conduct of the coaching program that he/she has purchased.

The company implements all means to ensure that the coaching service takes place under the best technical conditions related to the use of the instant messaging chosen by the Customer. However, in the event of a proven anomaly discovered by the Customer and / or the Seller and preventing or hindering the progress of the coaching session, each of the parties undertakes to do everything possible to remedy any possible malfunctions and thus allow the normal course of the online coaching session.

By “anomaly” we mean any incident, blockage, breakdown, preventing the normal progress of the coaching session by instant messaging via the Internet.

Regarding the security and integrity of Internet communications, the Company reminds the Customer that they cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, the Company declines any responsibility concerning the consequences related to the technical failures of the instant messaging that the Customer will have chosen for the realization of the online coaching session. The Company will not be held liable for any damages as a result.

 

ARTICLE 6: RESERVE, OWNERSHIP AND CONFIDENTIALITY CLAUSE

The products, services or training or coaching programs remain the exclusive property of the Company until full payment of the price.

The Customer agrees to keep the techniques taught confidential and not to resell, disclose, reproduce, transmit or disseminate them in any way.

 

ARTICLE 7: DELIVERY TERMS

The Products are delivered to the delivery address that was indicated by the Customer when ordering on the form. Consequently, the Customer must be attentive to the correct entry of his address and more especially his e-mail address for all digital products.

Delivery times: in general, digital products are delivered instantly by electronic means as soon as the Customer’s payment has been validated. The maximum delivery time is 15 days, unless otherwise stated on the product sales or order page.

For products offered in “Pre-order”, that is to say those that you can acquire before their official publication on the Company’s Website, payment is due immediately at the time of the order. It should be noted that for “Pre-order” products the provisional publication dates are not contractual.

When the delivery requires an appointment to be made with the Customer (for example in the case of individual remote coaching), the Customer chooses his/her time slot (date, time and duration) on the Company’s Website. Once the payment for this coaching session has been made, the Company reserves this time slot exclusively for this Customer in order to deliver the service that he/she has purchased (for example a one-hour coaching session for the job search).

In the event of an impediment or unavailability, the Customer must notify the Company at least 48 hours in advance in order to postpone the appointment by sending an e-mail to the following address: info@consulting-lbe.com

Any delay by the Customer at the appointment will be deducted from the time of the session.

Any appointment not held and not postponed by the Customer, or any appointment postponed more than twice by the Customer, will be considered in fact as a service provided by the Company.

In the event of late delivery, the Customer has the option of terminating the contract under the terms and conditions defined in Article L 138-2 of the Consumer Code. The Seller then reimburses the product and the “outbound” costs under the conditions of Article L 138-3 of the Consumer Code.

The Seller provides a point of contact – e-mail address – which will be indicated in the order confirmation e-mail in order to follow up on the order.

For physical Products, the Seller reminds that when the Customer takes possession of the products, the risk of loss or damage to the products is transferred to him/her. It is the Customer’s responsibility to notify the carrier of any reservations about the product delivered.

 

ARTICLE 8: AVAILABILITY AND PRESENTATION

Orders will be processed within the limits of our available stocks or subject to stocks available from our suppliers. In the event that an item is unavailable for a period exceeding 30 working days, the Customer is immediately notified of the foreseeable delivery times and the order for this item may be canceled on request. The Customer may then request a credit for the amount of the item or its refund.

 

ARTICLE 9: PAYMENT OF PRODUCTS

Payment is due immediately upon ordering, including for pre-ordered products. Payments can be made by credit card or recurring direct debit if applicable. Cards issued by banks domiciled outside France must be international bank cards (Mastercard or Visa).

Secure online payment by bank card or recurring direct debit is made, according to the Customer’s choice, through the PayPal or Stripe companies. The information transmitted is encrypted and offers the best level of security available today. Any guarantee as to the security of this system is entirely the responsibility of the PayPal and Stripe companies.

Once the payment has been initiated by the Customer, the transaction is immediately debited after verification of the information. In accordance with Article L. 132-2 of the Monetary and Financial Code, the commitment to pay given by card is irrevocable. By providing his/her banking information during the sale, the Customer authorizes the Seller to debit his/her card for the amount related to the price indicated.

The Customer confirms that he/she is the legal holder of the card to be debited and that he/she is legally entitled to use it. In the event of an error, or in the event that it is impossible to debit the card, the Sale is automatically terminated and the order canceled.

Exceptionally, payment by check or bank transfer can be accepted if it is denominated in Euros and if it comes from a bank domiciled in the European Union. In this case, the Customer agrees to receive his/her order once the check or transfer has been cashed by the Company. For this, the Customer must first contact the Company for any authorization (via the online contact form on the Company’s Website).

 

ARTICLE 9.1: RECURRING PAYMENT

In the event of recurring payment, the Customer commits to a duration and a monthly payment amount, to which he cannot return before the end of the commitment period, unless terminated during the warranty period specific to each Service and Product. .

The Company informs the Customer that in the event of a payment problem on a recurring payment, the Customer will not be able to benefit from the remaining coaching or training service. He/she will only be able to benefit from it again after the payment incident has been resolved. After a second payment incident, the Customer will have to pay the remaining balance in full to be able to benefit again from the coaching or training services.

In addition, the Company reserves the right, in the event of non-compliance with the payment conditions set out above, to suspend or cancel the coaching or training service.

 

ARTICLE 9.2: DEFAULT OF PAYMENT

In the event of non-payment of the sums due by the Customer under his/her commitment, the Customer will immediately be denied access to the coaching or training service until the payment is regularized.

The Customer will then have 30 days, from the receipt by the Company of the e-mail from Stripe or PayPal, informing him/her of the rejection of the payment, to pay the Company the amount due. In the event of non-payment of the sums due within the time limit, the file will be immediately sent to a bailiff or to a recovery service provider, who will be responsible for recovering all of the sums due, which must be paid in one go.

In any event, the Company will have the option to terminate this contract as of right, as from the receipt by the Customer of a formal notice to pay which has remained ineffective at the end of the period set for the regularization of the payment.

As of this date, the Customer will be definitively refused access to the coaching or training service while remaining liable for all sums due under the commitment made under this contract.

In accordance with the law, the Seller assumes two guarantees: of conformity and relating to hidden defects of the products. As part of this, all physical products (unless otherwise stated on the sales page) have a 30-day warranty.

In the event of Customer dissatisfaction, the Seller reimburses the Buyer or exchanges products that are apparently defective or do not correspond to the order placed. The reimbursement request must be made as follows:

1 / The Customer must first contact the Company (at the address info@consulting-lbe.com) so that the return instructions are specified to him

2 / The Customer returns the defective or non-conforming product(s) by attaching the corresponding invoice

3 / The Customer attaches a IBAN to his/her reimbursement request.

 

ARTICLES 11.2: FOR DIGITAL PRODUCTS (COACHING, TRAINING …)

All digital products (unless stated otherwise on the sales page) have a 30 day warranty. In the event of dissatisfaction during the 30 days following its purchase, and on the condition of having completed the “Necessary Steps” (Article 11.3), the Customer can send a request for reimbursement by attaching the corresponding invoice to the address info@consulting-lbe.com

 

ARTICLES 11.3: CUSTOMER COMMITMENT AND CONCEPT OF “NECESSARY PROCEDURES”

It is understood that the results achieved by the coaching or training products offered by the Company naturally depend on the correct application by the Customer of the methods, techniques and exercises provided.

This is why the success of the taught programs depends in part on the user’s commitment to assimilate and practice the techniques and strategies taught so that they produce the expected results. For this reason, by subscribing to the Company’s products, the Customer naturally agrees to take the courses, do the exercises, and apply the methods taught. This is the notion of “Necessary Steps”.

All coaching or training products (online or face-to-face), most often contain exercises, questionnaires or action plans that the Company asks the Customer to accomplish in order to obtain the result they are aiming for.

Thus, if the Customer considers himself/herself dissatisfied with the results obtained by the coaching or training Product and wishes to obtain a refund, he/she must claim to have completed this “Necessary Procedure”.

For this reason, before proceeding with the reimbursement, the Company will ask the Customer to present proof of the completion of these “Necessary Procedures” no later than 7 working days after the Company has acknowledged receipt of its reimbursement request.

 

ARTICLE 12: TECHNICAL PREREQUISITES FOR USING THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS

The Customer declares that he/she has the necessary skills and means, in particular technical, to use the Online Services and Digital Products offered for sale by the Company.

For this, the Customer is fully aware that he/she must have adequate computer equipment that allows him/her to benefit from the Online Services (coaching or training) that the Company offers: a computer equipped with a sound card and built-in speakers, screen, Internet connection, web browser, messaging software.

 

ARTICLE 13: COMPLAINTS

If applicable, the Buyer may submit any complaint by contacting the Company using the following contact details:
