GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

Digital Consulting Lab SARL — 5 rue Paul Fort, 75014 Paris — SIRET 832 088 447 00020, represented by Ksenia Votinova-Arnaud, manager. Activity declaration registered under number 11757666475 with the Prefect of the Île-de-France region (déclaration d’activité enregistrée sous le numéro 11757666475 auprès du préfet de région d’Île-de-France).

Purpose and scope

These general terms and conditions of sale apply to all training services sold by Digital Consulting Lab, in particular the training “Weatherproof Business® Launchpad”. Any enrolment implies unreserved acceptance of these GTC, of the training programme and of its prerequisites, of which the customer acknowledges having taken note. The programme is reserved for adults.

Invoicing and payment terms

The prices appearing in our communication materials correspond to a standardised service. Any changes to the programme justify a specific proposal in the form of a quotation. The prices indicated in the proposals are valid for 30 days; confirmed enrolments retain the indicated rate. The invoice is addressed to the customer and/or to the funder of the training. It may be addressed directly to a body managing training funds provided that a written funding agreement is received beforehand from that body. In the event of non-payment by the funder, for any reason whatsoever, the invoice becomes payable by the customer.
The price of the training action is fixed in this contract for the entire service.
Where the customer is a natural person undertaking training on an individual basis and at their own expense, they benefit from the withdrawal period provided for in Article L.6353-5 of the French Labour Code.
Where the contract is concluded at a distance, the consumer trainee also benefits from the withdrawal period provided for by the French Consumer Code. The more protective period applies. It is thus set at fourteen (14) calendar days from the signature of the contract.
No sum may be required from the trainee before the expiry of this period, in accordance with the terms specified in the training contract.
Payment of the balance will be staggered as the training action proceeds according to the payment schedule specified in Article 15 of the training contract.

Orders

Any order for training must be the subject of a written confirmation. Enrolment is preceded by an entry questionnaire making it possible to verify the suitability of the trainee's project with the prerequisites of the programme. The customer accepts the content of the training and its prerequisites, of which they undertake to have taken note.

Payment methods and schedules

Payment is made by credit card, direct debit or bank transfer. The total price of the training is €1,997 net of VAT, regardless of the payment method chosen.
At the expiry of the fourteen (14) day withdrawal period, an initial payment of €500, representing approximately 25% of the total price of the training, may be required. This initial payment remains below the 30% ceiling provided for in Article L.6353-6 of the French Labour Code.
The balance of €1,497 is staggered as the training proceeds, in accordance with the payment schedule chosen by the trainee in the training contract.
The optional request for early commencement made by the trainee does not allow the training organisation to require payment of the deposit before the expiry of the withdrawal period provided for in the contract.
By opting for a payment schedule, the trainee authorises the training organisation to automatically debit the instalments from the registered payment method and undertakes to maintain a valid payment method until the end of the schedule. In the event of a failed debit not regularised within seven (7) days, access to the training and to the bonuses is suspended until regularisation.

Payment terms and late-payment penalties

Instalments are due on the dates indicated in the payment schedule chosen by the trainee.
In the event of late payment, the training organisation sends the trainee a formal notice requesting them to regularise their situation within a reasonable period.
Any sum remaining unpaid after this formal notice may bear late-payment interest calculated at the applicable legal interest rate.
The fixed indemnity of €40 for recovery costs provided for in relations between professionals does not apply to an individual trainee.

Withdrawal period (individuals)

For any training contract concluded at a distance by a natural person on an individual basis and at their own expense, the trainee has a period of fourteen (14) calendar days from the signature of the contract to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to give reasons for their decision.
The trainee informs the training organisation of their decision by any unambiguous written statement expressing their wish to withdraw, sent by email or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, enabling the date of receipt to be evidenced.
Where the training must begin before the expiry of this period, the trainee may expressly request that performance of the contract begin early, by completing the box provided for in Article 16.1 of the contract.
This request for early commencement does not constitute an immediate waiver of the right of withdrawal.
If the trainee exercises their right of withdrawal after the expressly requested commencement of the training, they remain liable for the amount corresponding to the services actually delivered up to the communication of their decision, calculated in proportion to the total price of the training. In accordance with the terms provided for in the contract, no sum may however be required before the expiry of the applicable withdrawal period.
The trainee loses their right of withdrawal only once the service has been fully performed, where performance began with their prior express consent and after they expressly acknowledged that they would lose this right once the service has been fully performed.

Training agreement / contract — Funding

In the absence of the customer's own funding, the training courses may be funded by an OPCO (skills operator) or any other body or institution managing training funds, subject to the required procedures and supporting documents, provided by all parties.

Cancellation of enrolment by the customer

The following provisions apply after the expiry of the legal withdrawal period.
Any cancellation must be sent in writing to the training organisation.
In the event of cancellation by the trainee before the start of the training, the following indemnities may be applied:
• cancellation at least fifteen (15) working days before the start of the training: no indemnity;
• cancellation between fourteen (14) and seven (7) working days before the start of the training: indemnity equal to 30% of the total price of the training;
• cancellation less than seven (7) working days before the start of the training: indemnity equal to 50% of the total price of the training.
These sums constitute contractual cancellation indemnities and not the price of a training service delivered. They may not be charged to the funds of a funding body.
The training organisation may waive their application in whole or in part in light of the circumstances substantiated by the trainee.

Absence or abandonment by a trainee

A one-off absence of the trainee from a virtual class or a scheduled activity does not give rise to a reduction in the price where the resources, replays and support provided for remain actually made available to them.
In the event of permanent abandonment after the start of the training, other than in a case of force majeure, the trainee remains liable for the price corresponding to the services actually delivered or made available to them up to the date of abandonment.
A contractual indemnity equal to 30% of the value of the services remaining to be delivered may also be applied in order to compensate the costs incurred by the training organisation. This indemnity is distinct from the price of the training and may not be charged to the funds of a funding body.

The training organisation may waive this indemnity in whole or in part in light of the circumstances substantiated by the trainee.
Where the trainee is prevented from continuing the training owing to a duly recognised case of force majeure, the contract is terminated in accordance with Article L.6353-7 of the French Labour Code. In this situation, only the services actually delivered are payable, calculated in proportion to their value provided for in the contract.

Cancellation or postponement of a session by the organisation

The training organisation reserves the possibility of cancelling or postponing a session in the event of insufficient enrolment, a technical problem or the unavailability of the trainer. It then proposes a new date within 60 days; failing that, the sums paid are refunded in full, to the exclusion of any other indemnity. In the event of force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code (including illness or incapacity of the trainer, network failure), the organisation proposes a postponement, replacement arrangements or termination with refund of the services not delivered.

Satisfaction-or-refund guarantee (30 days, conditional)

The organisation offers a 30-day refund guarantee from the start date of the programme (first welcome call, 12:00 GMT), subject to the following cumulative conditions:
1) having completed the first two modules of the video training “Weatherproof Business Formula Foundations” as well as the workbooks for modules 1 and 2;
2) having attended the first three group coaching calls (or watched their replays) and established their roadmap;
3) having participated in the community challenges and exchanged at least twice with their mastermind group;
4) setting out in writing the reasons why the programme does not correspond to their needs.
The request, accompanied by the supporting work, must be sent to ksenia@digitalconsultinglab.com before the expiry of the period. No refund is granted beyond this period or in the absence of the supporting documents; the sums remaining due under a payment schedule remain payable. The refund granted entails the immediate termination of the licence to use the content: the trainee ceases all use and destroys any copy of the resources. This contractual guarantee applies without prejudice to the legal withdrawal period and the legal guarantees.

Access to the platform and content

Access to the learning platform (Skool) is open throughout the duration of the training and then for 2 months from the end of the training, after which it is automatically deactivated. The credentials are strictly personal, confidential and non-transferable; any connection with the trainee's credentials is deemed to have been made by them. In the event of sharing of credentials or transmission of content to third parties, the organisation may suspend or terminate access without refund.

Intellectual property

All content (videos, documents, templates, exercises, methods and trademarks, including the Weatherproof Business® method and trademark) remains the exclusive property of Digital Consulting Lab. The trainee benefits from a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence, limited to their own use (personal or for their own business project), to the exclusion of any commercial exploitation, resale, reproduction, dissemination or making available to third parties, even partial and even free of charge. Screenshots and recordings of the virtual classes are prohibited. Any unauthorised use constitutes an infringement within the meaning of the French Intellectual Property Code and entails the immediate termination of the licence, without refund, without prejudice to damages.

Confidentiality and community

The trainee undertakes to respect the confidentiality of the information shared by the other participants (projects, business data, exchanges) and not to disclose it outside the programme without written authorisation. The community is a solicitation-free space: any promotion or sale of third-party products or services to the participants is prohibited therein, as is the formation of parallel groups. The rules of conduct appear in the internal rules; the organisation may moderate, suspend or exclude, without refund, any participant whose behaviour seriously or repeatedly contravenes them, after written warning.

Testimonials, image and contributions

The content published by the trainee within the programme community is their responsibility.
Any use by the organisation, for the purposes of presenting or promoting the programme (website, social media, marketing materials), of the trainee's image, name, voice, testimonials or contributions is subject to the prior collection of free, specific and informed consent, formalised by a separate document entitled “Image and Testimonial Use Authorisation”. This consent is optional : it conditions neither enrolment nor access to the training. It may be withdrawn at any time, for the future, by simple email to ksenia@digitalconsultinglab.com; the organisation will then cease the use concerned and remove the content from its active materials within a reasonable time.
In the absence of such consent, no personal data of the trainee (surname, first name, image, testimonial) will be used for promotional purposes.
The recordings of the collective virtual classes are made solely for educational purposes (replays reserved for the programme participants); the trainee is informed thereof and may turn off their camera at any time.

Nature of the service — no guarantee of results

The training constitutes a service of education and methodological support. It in no way constitutes legal, accounting, tax, financial, medical or psychotherapeutic advice. The examples of client results presented in the materials illustrate exceptional journeys and constitute neither a promise nor a guarantee of income; results depend on factors specific to the trainee (situation, skills, diligence, market). The organisation undertakes an obligation of means.

Liability

The organisation's liability, all causes combined, is limited to the total amount actually paid by the customer in respect of the training, save in the event of gross or wilful misconduct and save for bodily injury. The organisation is not responsible for third-party content, products or services (platforms, tools, external links), nor for indirect damage (loss of data, profits or opportunities).

Personal data

The data collected (enrolment, educational monitoring, attendance, assessments) is processed for the administrative and educational management of the training courses and compliance with legal obligations, in accordance with the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act (loi Informatique et Libertés), under the conditions detailed in Article 17 of the contract. The trainee has rights of access, rectification, objection, erasure and restriction, exercisable with ksenia@digitalconsultinglab.com. In the event of difficulty, they may refer the matter to the CNIL.

Miscellaneous

The contract is concluded intuitu personae; the customer may not assign their rights without the written agreement of the organisation. The applicable GTC are those in force on the day of enrolment; any modification is published on the organisation's website. The nullity of one clause does not affect the validity of the others. The training is delivered in English; the trainee declares that they have the required level (programme prerequisites).

Applicable law and disputes

These GTC are governed by French law. The parties seek an amicable solution before any action. Failing that, the dispute is brought before the competent courts under ordinary law.
