All customs duties, other taxes or any fees (such as exchange fee) are the sole responsibility of the Customer. We cannot assume any liability in this respect, and you are solely responsible.

We reserve the right to modify our prices at any time, it being understood that the price displayed on the Site when the order is placed will be the only price applicable to the Customer.


8. TERMS OF PAYMENT

Payment may be made by credit card, using the secure online payment service indicated on the Site, or by any other means proposed on the Site at the time of ordering. You are informed that cards issued by banks not registered in France must be international bank cards (Mastercard or Visa).

The Customer guarantees VERT DE GRIS that he/she has the necessary authorizations to use the chosen method of payment.

By communicating your bank details at the time of sale and by validating your order, You authorize Us (or our partners, payment service providers) to send instructions to your bank to debit the bank account whose details You have provided, according to any deadlines indicated in the order summary, and You authorize Us to debit your account for the amount of the price indicated on the Site for the corresponding Service.

The full price is payable at the time of order, subject to any payment facilities offered by VERT DE GRIS. Where applicable, no discount will be applied for early payment.

Payments made by the Customer will only be considered definitive once the amounts due have been received by the Customer. Any access rights will then be issued once payment has been received and sent to the Customer by e-mail.

An invoice is issued within a reasonable time after the order is placed. It is sent to the customer or, failing that, is available on request.


8.1 Payment Facilities

If We offer the possibility of paying a fixed price in instalments, this is not a no-obligation payment or a monthly subscription, but a payment schedule for the price of the Service. The full price, corresponding to the sum of the instalments, is due, regardless of the number of payments envisaged. This payment facility does not constitute a bank credit.

When payment in instalments is offered, the first instalment is paid on the day the order is placed, and subsequent instalments are paid at an interval specified in the order summary (unless otherwise stated, one month between instalments). In this case, you guarantee the validity of your bank details until the last scheduled payment date. We reserve the right to refuse an order in several instalments if the bank card expires before the last scheduled payment or if the secure payment service provider objects.

We offer the Customer the option of choosing the direct debit method of their choice, provided by third parties to the Site over which We have no control (by way of example, by an online payment system provided by Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay). The Customer pays for the access set by the Customer at the time of ordering via one of these payment solutions by credit card or any other means that We make available on the Site at the time of ordering.

In the case of recurring payment, the Customer commits to a payment period and amount which cannot be changed before the end of the commitment period, unless terminated during the warranty period specific to each Service.


8.2 Payment Incidents

In the event of a payment incident, VERT DE GRIS may contact the Customer to request additional documents in order to complete payment of the order. VERT DE GRIS may rely on information provided by the order analysis system.  The provision of the requested documents is necessary for VERT DE GRIS to confirm the order. In order to combat credit card fraud, VERT DE GRIS may carry out a visual check of the means of payment before making the Service available. In the event of fraudulent use of a credit card, the Customer is invited to contact VERT DE GRIS as soon as such use is detected, without prejudice to the steps that the Customer must take with his bank.

We hereby inform You that in the event of a payment problem on a recurring payment, the refusal to authorize payment of a due date reported by the Customer's banking establishment will result, without prior formal notice, in the application of a late payment penalty payable on the day following the due payment date, equal to three times the legal interest rate in force on the day of the order, and a fixed indemnity for collection costs of forty (40) euros. Late payment penalties will be calculated on the basis of the price of the Services still owed by the Customer. You will also lose your access to the Training Platform allowing access to the Service. You will only regain access once the payment incident has been resolved.

If the Customer does not remedy the unpaid situation within fifteen (15) days of the payment date stipulated in the payment schedule, VERT DE GRIS reserves the right to terminate the sale, to cut off the Customer's access to the Services and to claim damages, if applicable, without the Customer being able to claim reimbursement of sums already paid prior to termination.

In the event of non-payment or late payment by the Customer, in the event of a payment incident, or in the event of fraud or attempted fraud relating to the use of the Site, We shall not be obliged to deliver access and We reserve the right to suspend access to the Service or to cancel any order.
