Furthermore, any delay in payment will result in a recovery charge of forty (40) euros for defaulting professional Clients and immediate payment of all outstanding sums, regardless of agreed payment terms, with a penalty of twenty percent (20%) of the amount due, as a penalty clause.

In any case, late payment may result in unilateral termination of the contract at the Client’s fault.

8.2. Right of Withdrawal – Distance Selling

8.2.1. Conditions for Exercising the Right of Withdrawal
In accordance with applicable legislation on distance selling, the Client has a period of fourteen (14) clear days to exercise their right of withdrawal without having to justify reasons or pay penalties, except for possible return shipping costs.

This period begins on the day the distance contract is concluded for contracts relating to the provision of services and/or digital content not provided on a tangible medium.

If the fourteen (14)-day period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it is extended to the next working day.

The decision to withdraw must be notified to Phileas Golf at the contact details provided in Article 1 of these General Terms by means of an unambiguous statement. For example, the Client may use the standard withdrawal form provided at the end of these General Terms. In any case, Phileas Golf will acknowledge receipt of the withdrawal by email as soon as possible.

8.2.2. Effects of the Right of Withdrawal
When the right of withdrawal is exercised, the professional must refund the Client all amounts paid, as soon as possible and no later than fourteen (14) days from the date the right was exercised. The professional will refund using the same payment method used by the Client for the initial transaction, unless the Client expressly agrees to another method and provided it does not incur additional fees.

The conditions, deadlines and procedures for exercising the right of withdrawal are detailed in the standard withdrawal form provided at the end of these General Terms.

8.2.3. Exclusions from the Right of Withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply, in particular, to contracts:
– for the supply of services fully performed before the end of the withdrawal period and whose performance began after the Client's prior express consent and waiver of the right of withdrawal;
– for the supply of audio or video recordings or computer software unsealed by the Client after delivery;
– for the supply of digital content not provided on a tangible medium whose execution began after the Client’s express prior consent and waiver of the right of withdrawal.

Similarly, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts fully performed by both parties at the Client's express request before the withdrawal right is exercised.

When confirming the order of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium before the withdrawal period expires, the Client's waiver of the withdrawal right will be indicated by checking the following statement:
"I expressly waive my 14-day right of withdrawal for the delivered Products."
The Client will receive an email confirmation of their waiver.

For service orders, the Client's waiver of the right of withdrawal will be indicated by checking the following statement:
"I expressly waive my 14-day right of withdrawal for the services I will benefit from before the end of this period."
The Client will then receive an email confirmation of this waiver.

If a Client exercises their right of withdrawal for a service contract that began at their express request before the end of the withdrawal period, they shall pay Phileas Golf an amount proportional to the service provided up to the point of notification of withdrawal, based on the total contract price.

8.3. Satisfaction Guarantee

8.3.1. Conditions for Exercising the Satisfaction Guarantee
Phileas Golf offers the Client a thirty (30)-day satisfaction guarantee on its Services. This period is calculated in calendar days from the date the Client places the order. The Client wishing to benefit from this guarantee must request it in writing, using clear and unambiguous terms, sent to the contact details provided in Article 1 of these General Terms. The Client is not required to justify their decision or pay penalties, except for possible return costs. Phileas Golf will acknowledge receipt of the request by email as soon as possible.

8.3.2. Effects of the Satisfaction Guarantee
Implementing the satisfaction guarantee ends the Client’s access to Services provided by Phileas Golf. As such, the Client agrees to return all Training Content and Materials received as part of the Services to Phileas Golf at the address indicated in Article 1 of these General Terms and to destroy all physical or digital copies in their possession.

In return, Phileas Golf will refund the Client all amounts paid, as soon as possible and no later than fourteen (14) days from the date the satisfaction guarantee is implemented. Refunds will be made using the same payment method used for the initial transaction, unless the Client expressly agrees otherwise and provided the refund incurs no additional fees.

ARTICLE 9. PERSONAL ACCOUNT
9.1. Creating a Personal Account
Creating a personal account is a prerequisite for accessing the Services covered by these General Terms and Conditions. To this end, the Client will be required to provide a certain amount of personal information. Some of this information is considered essential for the creation of the personal account. If a Client refuses to provide the required information, it will prevent the creation of the personal account and, consequently, the validation of the order and access to the requested services.

When creating the personal account, the Client will be asked to choose a password. This password ensures the confidentiality of the information stored in the personal account. The Client must not share or disclose this password to any third party. Otherwise, The French Golf Coach cannot be held responsible for any unauthorized access to the Client's personal account.

The Client also agrees to regularly verify their personal data and to make any necessary updates or modifications directly from their personal account.

9.2. Content of the Personal Account
The personal account allows the Client to access the Services, place orders with The French Golf Coach, register for Training Programs, and review their order history.

The pages related to personal accounts can be freely printed by the account holder but do not serve as legally admissible proof in court. They are purely for the Client’s own administrative and organizational use.

The French Golf Coach commits to securely storing all contractual documents that are required by law or regulation.

9.3. Deletion of the Personal Account
The French Golf Coach reserves the right to delete the account of any Client who violates these General Terms and Conditions, particularly in cases where the Client provides inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or fraudulent information, or if the account has been inactive for at least one (1) year. Such deletion shall not be deemed a fault of The French Golf Coach or cause any harm to the excluded Client, who will not be entitled to any compensation.

This exclusion is without prejudice to The French Golf Coach’s right to pursue legal action against the Client if warranted.
