ARTICLE 1 – PURPOSE

These general conditions define the terms under which ærige provides a business client with one or more training services. The components of these training courses are defined in the training catalogue. Registration for ærige training sessions presupposes acceptance of these general terms and conditions.

ARTICLE 2 – HOW TO REGISTER

Registration forms will be sent to the client by mail, or with the training catalogue. Registration requests must be submitted by sending the registration form to ærige, at least 15 business days before the start date of the training course for which the client wishes to register. All registrations must be accompanied by payment, as defined in Article 3 of these terms and conditions. All registration requests will be confirmed by ærige by letter, eight days before the start date of the training course. If payment is not made, ærige will not be able to confirm the registration.

ARTICLE 3 – PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS

The price and payment terms for each training course are stated on the registration form for cross-company training, or on the signed acceptance of the business services proposal for in-company training. Unless agreed otherwise, the price of these training courses under no circumstances includes the travel, subsistence and accommodation expenses that are incurred by trainees; said expenses will be charged directly to the client and must be paid by the client or reimbursed to ærige upon presentation of supporting documents (if ærige advanced these costs on the client’s behalf).

For in-company training sessions, the costs of catering, accommodation and travel for moderators and trainers who provide services on behalf of ærige will be the responsibility of the client and will therefore be invoiced to the client by ærige.

The client undertakes to comply scrupulously with the terms of payment for training courses, as specified in this document. Invoices issued by ærige to clients must be paid upon receipt. If an invoice is not paid within a time-limit of 30 days, the client will be charged a penalty equal to three times the statutory interest rate. It will be the client’s responsibility, as applicable, to carry out all formalities and make all applications for funding and reimbursement with regard to its training Funding Agency.

ARTICLE 4 – HOW TO CANCEL

All client cancellations must be notified in writing to ærige.

All cancellations that occur within 15 days of the start date of the training course will trigger the payment of an indemnity equal to 50% of the amount of the training course concerned.

All cancellations by the client less than eight days before the start of the training course will trigger the payment of the full price as a forfeit.

All series of training courses that have been started must be paid in full. The client alone will be liable for the consequences of cancellation, such as the payment of travel expenses.

In any event, ærige will not cover such expenses in this scenario. ærige reserves the right to cancel or postpone a training course by sending the client a letter or email, at the latest five days before the start of the training course concerned, if there are not enough participants or if a case of force majeure arises.

ærige cannot be held liable for expenses incurred by the client.

ARTICLE 5 – HOW TRAINING SESSIONS ARE RUN

Training sessions will take place on the premises that are provided or leased by ærige. This location will be stated by ærige in the registration form and in the confirmation that is sent to the client. Notwithstanding, ærige reserves the right to change the location of the training or the trainer, without the client being able to claim any compensation and/or penalties. In this case, ærige will inform the client at least seven days before the start of the training.

The training service includes the provision of training materials for the exclusive and personal use of the client.

ARTICLE 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All the intellectual property rights concerning the lesson materials and other teaching resources provided to the client in connection with the training courses shall remain the exclusive property of ærige. Consequently, the client undertakes to use said materials and other teaching resources solely within the limits defined herein. Absent ærige’s prior written agreement, the client shall refrain from reproducing, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, adapting, modifying, translating, displaying to the public, commercialising or disclosing to third parties who do not participate in the training courses, the lesson materials and other teaching resources that are provided to the client for the running of the training sessions.

ARTICLE 7 – RIGHTS OF USE

ærige undertakes to comply with the applicable regulations on personal data processing and, in particular, the French Data Protection Act no. 78-17 of 6 January 1978. The personal data that is collected at the time of training services is intended for ærige, which may use said data for the purposes of training services, as well as for direct marketing, unless the client objects to such use.

ARTICLE 8 – LIABILITY

ærige undertakes to use its best efforts in the provision of the training courses taken by the client. ærige cannot be held liable for consequential losses, such as operating losses or loss of earnings, which are suffered by the client during or at the time of the training courses.

In any event, for all other losses, and in the event that ærige’s liability is triggered, any indemnity it is required to pay is expressly limited to the price actually paid by the client in respect of the training service.

ARTICLE 9 – DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event of a dispute over the performance and/or construction of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, solely the Courts of Paris shall have jurisdiction, even in the event of interlocutory proceedings and notwithstanding multiple lawsuits or parties, or third-party notices.
