Some of these training programs are certification courses. All these services are hereinafter referred to as “training actions.”

2. Purpose 

These general terms and conditions of sale apply to all services listed in Article 1 organized by TeachMeMore SAS. Placing an order, particularly through an online subscription, implies full and unconditional acceptance of these general terms and conditions of sale by the client. Any contrary condition, especially any general or specific condition put forward by the client, cannot prevail over these conditions unless formally and explicitly accepted by TeachMeMore SAS, regardless of when it may have been brought to its attention. The client guarantees compliance with these conditions by all its employees, representatives, and agents. The client also acknowledges that, prior to any order, they received sufficient information and advice from Academia, allowing them to ensure the suitability of the service offer to their needs.

3. Subscription 

Any subscription requires creating a user account and payment for the service. Academia SAS must be informed of specific arrangements for covering training costs at the time of registration (particularly regarding the justification for the action) and in any case before the start of the training. The same applies to payment terms practiced by the client.

4. Price and Payment 

The price for the subscription or boot camp is the one listed on the website. Prices are quoted in euros, including all taxes. They include training and educational materials. Payment is made via the method chosen on the website. Payment is only deemed made when Academia has received available funds relating to the total amount stated on the order. TeachMeMore SAS accepts payments by Visa, Mastercard, Solo, Maestro, Electron, PayPal, and Orange Money.

5. Default of Payment 

In case of non-payment, Academia reserves the right to suspend the trainee’s access until the unpaid amount is settled. If the outstanding payment is not settled within 30 days of the invoice being sent, a friendly reminder letter will be sent to the debtor. If the debt cannot be recovered amicably, Academia reserves the right to proceed with legal recovery.

9. Cancellation or Postponement by Academia SAS

In exceptional cases and in cases of force majeure, Academia SAS reserves the right to:

• Replace the initially planned trainers with others ensuring equivalent quality training,
• If the training cannot take place in person under the planned conditions, implement the training through adapted modalities to meet the objectives set in the training action program,
• Cancel the training action. In all these cases, no compensation or reimbursement can be requested by the client. In case of partial completion of the training due to Academia SAS, invoicing will be prorated based on the completed hours compared to the planned hours.
