  ARTICLE 15: FORCE MAJEURE

The parties shall not be liable in the event of impossibility to execute the contract due to a case of force majeure as defined by French jurisprudence.

In addition, any act of terrorism or war, whether foreign or civil, earthquake, crash of an airplane or aircraft, fire, flood, storm or any state of natural disaster, strike beyond the control of the party invoking force majeure, deterioration, suspension or disruption of service, or any other event likely to affect the performance of the contract, shall be considered as an act of force majeure for the purposes of the GCS/GCU, of deterioration, suspension or alteration of an electronic means of communication used within the framework of the services, energy restrictions, governmental, legal or regulatory restrictions, and more generally all facts or events beyond the control of SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY that prevent the normal execution of this contract.

When a case of force majeure lasts longer than thirty (30) consecutive days, each party shall have the option to terminate the contract by notifying the other party by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.

ARTICLE 16: ASSIGNMENT OF THE CONTRACT AND CONFIDENTIALITY

The Customer may in no case transfer or transmit to a third party, whether for consideration or free of charge, in any form whatsoever, the benefit of this contract.

Indeed, the products and services marketed by SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY are of a personal nature and must be used only by the Customer who has signed the contract, and under no circumstances may they be resold or communicated to third parties without the prior consent of the Company.

Furthermore, the Customer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all provisions of the contract and not to disclose them to any third party without the prior written agreement of SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY, unless otherwise required by law.

ARTICLE 17: RESILIATION

The parties are obliged to continue the proper execution of the contract and to perform their obligations diligently.

Either party may terminate the contract at any time by a simple notice (by email or registered letter) addressed to the other party.

SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY reserves the right to terminate this contract at any time, by simple notice (by e-mail or letter sent with acknowledgement of receipt) in case one of the Clients does not comply with its obligations and guarantees.

Therefore, in the event that the Customer does not comply with its obligations under these GCS/GCU or its order, a formal notice will be sent by SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY. If there is no improvement or return of the Customer within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice, the contract will be terminated by operation of law, without the possibility of damages by SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY.

In case of late payment of an invoice associated with the use of the site, SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY reserves the right to suspend access to the e-learning modules. All amounts paid to SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY by the Customer on the date of termination of the contract shall remain vested and SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY shall be entitled to demand immediate payment of any amounts invoiced or to be invoiced in connection with the contract.

The Customer may at any time terminate the subscription and access to the training modules by a simple notification (e-mail or registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt) addressed to SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY.

Since the right of access to training courses has a contractual duration of 12 months, the termination of the contract binding the Customer does not entitle the Customer to reimbursement of the part of the training not completed. Thereafter, the fees for the remaining contractual period must be paid, even in the case of payment in installments.

Upon termination of the contract, the Customer's account will be closed and the Customer's username and password will be deleted. All information contained in the Customer's account subject to termination will be deleted as soon as possible and no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice of termination.

The present GCS/GCU are subject to French law.

In the event of litigation, the French courts shall have sole jurisdiction.

In addition, in the event that the Customer is a merchant or of foreign nationality, it is agreed that all disputes relating to the formation, validity, interpretation, performance and termination of the contract concluded between the Customer and SCHOOL ONLINE UNIVERSITY, and which the parties are unable to resolve amicably, shall be submitted to the Commercial Court of PARIS.
