The Customer subscribes to the Services in the form of a subscription ("theSubscription ").

 

The Subscription begins on the day it is taken out for an initial period of one month or one year, depending on the choice made by the Customer on the Platform.

 

It is tacitly renewed, for successive periods of the same duration as the initial period (together with the initial period, the " Periods "), from date to date, unless the Subscription is terminated under the conditions of the "Termination of Services" article.

 

According to article L215-1 of the French Consumer Code:

 

"For service contracts concluded for a fixed term with a tacit renewal clause, the professional service provider informs the consumer in writing, by dedicated letter or e-mail, no earlier than three months and no later than one month before the end of the period authorizing the rejection of renewal, of the possibility of not renewing the contract he has concluded with a tacit renewal clause. This information, delivered in clear, comprehensible terms, mentions the non-renewal deadline in a visible box.

 

Where this information has not been sent to the consumer in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph, the consumer may terminate the contract free of charge at any time after the renewal date.

 

Advances made after the last renewal date or, in the case of open-ended contracts, after the date of conversion of the initial contract to a fixed-term contract, shall in this case be reimbursed within thirty days of the termination date, after deduction of sums corresponding, up to that date, to the performance of the contract. The provisions of this article apply without prejudice to those which by law subject certain contracts to special rules regarding consumer information."

  • where applicable, declare all sums owed by the Customer to be forfeited and immediately payable.

 

9. Customer's right of withdrawal

 

The customer has a right of withdrawal.

 

This right of withdrawal is valid for 14 calendar days from acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions. The customer may exercise this right free of charge by sending a letter to LABA before the end of this period, to the address mentioned in the article "Identification of LABA":

  • the completed withdrawal form available in

If the Customer exercises his/her right of withdrawal, LABA will reimburse all payments received, using the same means of payment that the Customer used (unless the Customer expressly accepts a different means), without undue delay and no later than 14 calendar days from the day on which LABA was informed of the Customer's wish to withdraw.

 

 

 

  1. Legal warranty of conformity

 

Consumers are entitled to invoke the legal guarantee of conformity if a lack of conformity appears during the contractual relationship between the parties. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity, and not the date of its appearance.


The legal warranty of conformity implies the obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service during the contractual relationship between the parties.


The legal guarantee of conformity entitles the consumer to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay following his request, at no cost and with no major inconvenience to him.


The consumer may obtain a price reduction by retaining the digital content or digital service, or he may terminate the contract with a full refund in exchange for relinquishing the digital content or digital service, if :

1° The professional refuses to bring the digital content or service into compliance,

2° The compliance of the digital content or service is unjustifiably delayed,

3° The digital content or service may not be brought into conformity at no cost to the consumer,

4° Bringing the digital content or service into compliance causes major inconvenience to the consumer,

5° The non-compliance of the digital content or service persists despite the professional's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into compliance. 

 

The consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or rescission of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate price reduction or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to ask for the digital content or service to be brought into conformity beforehand.

 

In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer has the right to cancel the contract only if the contract does not provide for the payment of a price.

 

Any period of unavailability of the digital content or service for the purpose of bringing it back into conformity suspends the remaining warranty period until the digital content or service is supplied again in conformity.

 

These rights result from the application of articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the French Consumer Code.

 

Any professional who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 242-18-1 of the French Consumer Code).

 

The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Codefor a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for renouncing the digital content or service.
