Terms of Use, Sale and Refund

Effective date: 5 May 2026 Last updated: 5 May 2026

These terms govern your access to and use of https://learngeodata.eu (the “Website”) and the purchase of our online courses, programmes and software (the “Services”). They form a binding contract between you and 3D GEODATA ACADEMY, a French société à responsabilité limitée, identified below.

By creating an account, browsing the Website, or buying a Service, you accept these terms in full. If you do not accept them, do not use the Website and do not buy.

These terms are written to be read by adults. We use plain language wherever French law allows it; we use formal legal references where French law requires them.

3. Pre-contractual information (article L221-5 Code de la consommation)

Before you confirm any purchase, we make available, in clear and comprehensible language:

the essential characteristics of the Service,
the total price all taxes included,
the date or deadline by which we deliver,
our identity, postal address, email and SIRET (above),
the existence and conditions of the right of withdrawal (section 9 below) or its absence (section 10),
the existence of the legal warranty of conformity (section 14) and the warranty against hidden defects (section 15),
the duration of the contract,
the possibility to use a consumer mediator (section 26).

4. Account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for the strict confidentiality of your login credentials. You agree to notify us promptly at howto@learngeodata.eu if you suspect that your account has been used without your authorisation.

One person per account. Each Account is strictly personal and non-transferable. You may not let any other person use your Account, share your password, or grant access to the Content via your credentials. Account sharing is the single most common form of abuse we encounter, and it is treated under section 22 below.

We may detect and block obvious credential sharing (concurrent sessions from incompatible geographies, simultaneous logins from many devices, abnormal access patterns). Such detection is described in section 23.

5. Services

5.1 Single courses

A single course is sold à la carte and grants you a personal, non-transferable licence to access its Content from your Account. Unless stated otherwise on the course page, access is granted for the lifetime of the course on our platform, with continuous updates included for at least 12 months from purchase.

5.2 Programmes (Architect tiers)

A Programme bundles multiple courses, the 3D AI Accelerator, the Course Library, optional Operating Systems content and a human-support component (async office hours, live cohort sessions, or a private channel, depending on tier). The detailed perimeter of each tier is shown on the dedicated landing page at the moment of purchase. Programmes include 12 months of continuous updates and support; renewal terms are announced 30 days before the end of that period.

5.3 Software (Neurones 3D)

When a Service includes the Neurones 3D Software, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, worldwide licence to install and use the Software on your own machines, for your personal or internal professional use. You may not redistribute, sublicense, sell, or publish the Software. Reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling the Software is prohibited, except as expressly permitted by article L122-6-1 of the French Code de la propriété intellectuelle.

5.4 Educational service, not a result guarantee

Our Services are educational. We commit to deliver the Content with due care and skill, in conformity with the description displayed at the time of purchase. We do not guarantee that you will obtain employment, additional income, business outcomes, or any specific learning result, except where we explicitly say so in writing (the 90-day transformation guarantee in section 12 is the only such written commitment, and even there refund is the only remedy).

6. Prices and payment

Prices are displayed in euros, all taxes included (TTC). The applicable VAT is the French VAT in force at the date of the order. Intra-Community business buyers may, on request, be invoiced excluding VAT under the conditions of article 262 ter I of the Code général des impôts.

Payment is due in full at the time of order. We accept payment by credit card (via Stripe) and by PayPal. For Programmes priced above €1,500, a three-monthly instalment plan is available at checkout.

Card details are collected and processed exclusively by Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, Ireland) or PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. & Cie, S.C.A., Luxembourg). The Academy does not see, store or process card numbers.

An electronic invoice is issued for every order and is available from your Account.

In case of payment default on an instalment plan, after a formal notice (mise en demeure) by email left without effect for 8 days, we may suspend access to the Services and accelerate the remaining instalments under article 1224 of the Code civil.

7. Conclusion of the contract (article L221-13 Code de la consommation)

The contract is formed when we send you the order confirmation by email, after the payment has been validated by the processor. The order confirmation summarises the Service purchased, the total price, the right of withdrawal where applicable, and the access link.

We keep an electronic copy of your order, your acceptance of these terms, and the version you accepted, for at least 10 years per article L213-1 of the Code de la consommation. We make this available to you on request.

8. Delivery

Access to digital Content is granted immediately upon order confirmation, unless you have explicitly opted to defer delivery. Where access cannot be granted within 30 days for any reason within our control, you may cancel the order by registered letter or email and receive a full refund within 14 days, in accordance with article L216-2 Code de la consommation.

9. Right of withdrawal (article L221-18 Code de la consommation)

If you are a Consumer, you have fourteen (14) days from the conclusion of the contract to withdraw, without giving any reason and without penalty.

To exercise this right, send us an unambiguous statement of withdrawal before the deadline expires, by email to howto@learngeodata.eu or by post to 3D Geodata Academy, 200 rue de la Croix Nivert, 75015 Paris. You can use the model withdrawal form below.

We refund all sums paid, using the same means of payment, within 14 days of receiving your withdrawal notice (article L221-23). No fee is deducted.

Model withdrawal form

To 3D GEODATA ACADEMY, 200 rue de la Croix Nivert, 75015 Paris, France, howto@learngeodata.eu — I/We (\) hereby give notice that I/We (\) withdraw from my/our (\) contract for the supply of the following service: Ordered on: … Name of consumer(s): … Address of consumer(s): … Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper): … Date: … (\) Strike out as applicable.

10. Express waiver for digital content (article L221-28 13°)

By ticking the dedicated box on the order page, you expressly request that we begin executing the Service immediately, and you acknowledge that, once execution has fully begun with your prior express agreement, you lose the right of withdrawal provided in article L221-18.

If you do not tick that box, the standard 14-day withdrawal right of section 9 applies in full and we wait until the end of that period before granting access.

The wording of the tickbox at checkout is reproduced in your order confirmation, together with the timestamp of your acceptance, as proof.

11. Refunds outside the legal withdrawal — what is and is not refundable

The 14-day withdrawal in section 9 (where it applies) and the 90-day transformation guarantee in section 12 (where it applies) are the only circumstances in which we refund a Service. Any refund request that falls outside these two paths is granted at our sole discretion and only on demonstrated good cause (e.g. duplicate charge, technical impossibility imputable to us, our material breach not cured within reasonable time).

11.1 Eligible for refund

Withdrawal exercised within 14 days under section 9, where you have NOT ticked the L221-28 13° waiver in section 10.
Architect tier purchases meeting all the conditions of the 90-day transformation guarantee (section 12).
Duplicate or erroneous charges, refunded within 14 days of confirmation.
Inability for us to deliver within 30 days under section 8.
Breach by us of the legal warranty of conformity (section 14) or the warranty against hidden defects (section 15), under their respective conditions.

11.2 Not refundable

Single courses after the 14-day legal withdrawal period (section 9), if you ticked the L221-28 13° waiver and access was granted.
Programmes after the 90-day transformation-guarantee window (section 12).
Services purchased via a coupon, gift, scholarship, or partner-funded enrolment when the offer expressly excluded refunds at the time of purchase.
Custom services already delivered (a one-to-one strategy call already held, a co-built deliverable already produced, etc.).
Sums already credited under an instalment plan, where the Service has been used and access not revoked.
Any Service for a Customer whose Account has been suspended or terminated for breach of these terms (sections 18, 19, 20, 22). For the avoidance of doubt: a Customer who has shared their credentials, scraped the Content, used Content for AI training, or otherwise materially breached these terms loses any entitlement to a refund.
Any Service for which the Customer has obtained a certificate of completion or has demonstrably consumed substantially all of the Content (≥ 80% of lessons marked complete), unless the legal withdrawal under section 9 still applies.
Any Service the Customer has already attempted to charge back without first contacting us (section 13).

11.3 Refund process

Email howto@learngeodata.eu with the subject line “Refund request — [order number]”.
Include your order number, the Service in question, and the reason (no reason needed for a section 9 withdrawal; for the section 12 guarantee, see the proof requirements there).
We acknowledge receipt within 5 business days.
We may ask one round of clarifying questions (e.g. proof of work for section 12).
We notify our decision within 14 days of receipt of the complete request.
If granted, we refund to the original payment method. The processor (Stripe / PayPal) credits your account within their own technical timeframe (typically 5 to 10 business days).
We send you a written confirmation when the refund is initiated and again when the processor reports it as completed.

11.4 One-per-customer rule for the discretionary refunds

For refunds granted at our discretion outside sections 9 and 12, the Customer is entitled to one such refund per lifetime across all Services. This rule does not affect the legal rights under sections 9, 14 and 15.

12. 90-day transformation guarantee (Architect tiers only)

In addition to the legal right of withdrawal of section 9, and on a strictly contractual basis, we offer a 90-day transformation guarantee to Customers who purchase the Foundation, Professional or Architect tier of the 3D AI Architect Programme.

12.1 Promise

If, within 90 days of your purchase, you have genuinely worked through the Programme as described below and seen no measurable transformation in your work, we refund the price paid in full, within 14 days of our acceptance.

12.2 Eligibility — all of the following must be true

Tier: you bought the Foundation, Professional or Architect tier of the 3D AI Architect Programme (single courses are excluded; the legal right of withdrawal of section 9 applies to them).
Window: your written request reaches us within 90 calendar days of the order confirmation date. Requests that arrive on day 91 or later are not eligible.
Genuine work — you provide, in your refund request, all of the following evidence, allowing us to verify that you actually worked through the Programme:

– your written description of what you tried, what you applied, and what did not work; – access logs of your account showing engagement with at least the first three of the six Acts; – links or attachments showing your attempted deliverables: a Viewer executable build (Act 1), a Reconstruction-engine output (Act 2), or labelled data (Act 3) at minimum; – if you participated in a live cohort or office-hours session, the dates;

Single claim: you have not previously claimed this guarantee (one per Customer per lifetime).
No breach: your Account is not suspended or terminated for breach of these terms (sections 18, 19, 20, 22). A Customer who has shared credentials, scraped Content, used Content for AI training, leaked or republished Content, or otherwise materially breached these terms loses entitlement to this guarantee.
No prior chargeback: you have not initiated a chargeback or payment-dispute procedure for the same purchase before contacting us under section 13.

12.3 Procedure

Email howto@learngeodata.eu with the subject line “90-day guarantee — [order number]”, attaching the evidence above.

We acknowledge within 5 business days. We may ask up to one round of clarifying questions. We notify our decision within 14 days of receipt of the complete request. If granted, we refund the full price paid to the original payment method, within 14 days of our acceptance, and we revoke your access to the Programme on the same date.

This contractual guarantee is in addition to, and does not replace, any legal right (the right of withdrawal in section 9 and the legal warranties in sections 14 and 15).

13. Chargeback policy

If you believe you are entitled to a refund, you must first contact us under section 11.3 or 12.3, before raising a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or payment processor.

A chargeback initiated without prior good-faith contact, or after a refund has been duly refused under sections 11.2 or 12.2, is considered abusive. In such case:

We provide the payment processor with the full evidence of the contract: order confirmation, acceptance log (timestamp, IP, user-agent), access logs to the Content, our refund correspondence.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Customer’s Account pending resolution of the dispute.
We reserve the right to claim, in court, the price of the Service plus the bank fees we incurred and any reasonable legal costs.
We reserve the right to bar the Customer from future purchases.

14. Legal warranty of conformity (articles L217-3 to L217-14 Code de la consommation)

The Academy is liable for defects of conformity of digital content and digital services within the meaning of article L217-3 of the French Code de la consommation, under the conditions and within the time limits of articles L217-4 to L217-14. The Consumer is entitled to:

a period of two (2) years from the supply of the digital content or service to invoke the legal warranty of conformity,
choose between bringing the digital content into conformity, a price reduction, or termination of the contract,
be exempted from proving the defect’s existence during the twelve (12) months following the supply (or for the entire duration of the contract for continuous supply).

The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee.

15. Warranty against hidden defects (article 1641 Code civil)

The Consumer may also rely on the warranty against hidden defects in the meaning of article 1641 of the French Code civil, and in this case may choose between cancellation of the sale or a reduction of the price, in accordance with article 1644 of the same code. Action under this warranty must be brought within two years from the discovery of the defect (article 1648).

16. Intellectual property — what we own

All Content is and remains the exclusive property of 3D Geodata Academy or its licensors, under French and international intellectual-property law (Code de la propriété intellectuelle, Berne Convention, EU Directives).

This includes, without limitation:

Audio-visual works: every video, audio recording, transcript, caption, recorded webinar, recorded cohort session and demo;
Written works: every lesson, slide, ebook, syllabus, guide, exercise, quiz, assignment, certificate template, email, blog article and marketing copy;
Software: the Neurones 3D Software, every script, notebook, sample project, code library and configuration we provide;
Data: the curated datasets we assembled, the labelling schemas, the evaluation benchmarks;
Architecture and method: the Brain-to-Deploy methodology, the Six-Act Programme structure, the Operating Systems framework, the pedagogical sequencing — these are protected as Trade Secrets (section 18) and, where applicable, by copyright over their expression;
Brands: the names “3D Geodata Academy”, “3DGA”, “Neurones 3D”, “3D AI Architect”, “Brain-to-Deploy”, “3D AI Accelerator”, the Operating Systems names (“Reconstructor OS”, “Segmentor OS”, “Deep Learning OS”, “Spatial OS”), our logos, our visual identity, and any tagline used on the Website (collectively, the “Marks“);
Compilations: the curated reading lists, the Course Library composition, the resource libraries;
Domain names: learngeodata.eu and any associated domain.

The Marks are registered or are subject to use as commercial signs under French and EU law, and we reserve all rights in them, including the right to register them formally at any time.

17. Licence granted to you

By purchasing a Service, and subject to your full payment, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, worldwide licence, for the duration set out in section 5, to:

access the Content from your Account on personal devices you control,
take personal notes, run any code we provide on your own machines,
apply the techniques and methods you learn in your own work, in good faith.

The licence is strictly limited to personal or internal professional use. Any use that is not expressly authorised here is prohibited.

18. Prohibited uses (instant termination of the licence and remedies)

You agree, on penalty of immediate termination of the licence and exposure to the remedies of section 21, not to:

Share your account credentials, ever, under any circumstance, with any person, including colleagues, family members, study partners, or other learners.
Reproduce, distribute, broadcast, communicate to the public, or publicly display the Content (in whole or in any substantial part), in any form, by any means, on any platform, free of charge or for a fee.
Sell, rent, sublicense, transfer or lend the Content or your Account.
Remove, obscure, alter or attempt to defeat any watermark, fingerprint, copyright notice, trademark notice, identifying mark, DRM or access-control mechanism present in the Content.
Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Neurones 3D Software, save where article L122-6-1 of the Code de la propriété intellectuelle expressly authorises it.
Use the Content as input data for any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning system, including for training, testing, validation, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, embedding, or evaluation. This prohibition covers any use, by you or by a system you operate. We expressly opt out of the text-and-data-mining exception under article L122-5-3 III of the Code de la propriété intellectuelle for any commercial use, and your acceptance of these terms acknowledges that opt-out.
Republish, summarise at scale, paraphrase, or create derivative works from the Content (transcripts, recap blog posts, summary videos, shadow courses, “study guides for sale”, etc.) for any audience other than yourself.
Bulk-extract Content beyond the limits of personal use (for example: more than 30 code samples, more than 30 images, or more than one entire lesson, downloaded outside the legitimate playback flow).
Use the Content to teach a competing course or training programme, internally to your employer’s staff (without an enterprise licence from us) or externally to any third party, for free or for a fee.
Reproduce the Course Architecture or Methods — the Six-Act framework, the Brain-to-Deploy method, the Neurones 3D OS structure, the pedagogical sequencing — in your own commercial training, course, programme, ebook, blog series, video series or consulting offer.
Scrape, crawl, mirror, archive or systematically download the Website, beyond what robots.txt and reasonable personal browsing allow.
Bypass access controls, including by creating multiple accounts, using VPNs to defeat geo-restrictions, or sharing temporary access tokens.
Use the Marks as part of competing trade names, domains, social-media handles, products, services, or paid keyword advertising targeting our brand. You may state truthfully that you trained at 3D Geodata Academy or completed a Programme — this is permitted nominative use.

19. Trade secrets

Some Content embodies trade secrets within the meaning of articles L151-1 et seq. of the French Code de commerce: it is confidential, has commercial value because it is confidential, and is the subject of reasonable protective measures.

You agree to:

treat such Content as strictly confidential;
not disclose any non-public element of the Brain-to-Deploy method, the Six-Act framework architecture, the Neurones 3D source code, the curated datasets, the internal pedagogical sequencing or any element clearly marked as confidential;
protect such Content with at least the same degree of care you use for your own confidential information, and in any event no less than reasonable care.

This obligation survives the termination of these terms for five (5) years.

20. Watermarking, fingerprinting and forensic measures

You acknowledge and agree that:

We may embed personal identifying marks in delivered Content (forensic watermarks, per-user video stamping, dataset fingerprints, code-comment fingerprints, steganographic markers).
These marks identify the buyer and are used to investigate leaks and breaches.
Removing or attempting to remove these marks is itself a breach under section 18.
We may use server logs, login telemetry, fingerprint analysis and any other lawful forensic technique to identify the source of any leak.

We process this telemetry in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the RGPD.

21. Remedies for breach

A breach of section 4, section 18, section 19 or section 20 entitles us, without prejudice to any other right or remedy:

to terminate your licence immediately (with or without prior notice, depending on whether the breach is curable);
to revoke your Account and bar you from future purchases;
to withhold any pending refund under section 11 or section 12;
to claim damages, including loss of revenue, the cost of investigation, and harm to reputation;
to seek injunctions before any competent court, including emergency proceedings (référé) under article 834 of the Code de procédure civile, to make the breach stop;
to claim, in addition to actual damages, the indicative compensation listed below.

21.1 Indicative compensation (clause pénale, article 1231-5 Code civil)

The parties agree on the following indicative amounts as compensation for breach of section 18:

Breach	Indicative compensation per occurrence
Account-credential sharing causing unauthorised access	€500 plus revocation of access
Unauthorised reproduction or distribution of a single video, lesson, dataset or code sample	€500
Unauthorised use of any Content as AI/ML training, testing or fine-tuning data	€5,000
Reproduction of the Brain-to-Deploy method, the Six-Act framework or the Operating Systems framework in a competing commercial offering	€10,000
Reverse engineering of the Neurones 3D Software	€10,000
Removing or attempting to remove a watermark, fingerprint or identifying mark	€2,000

These amounts are indicative; the parties expressly agree, per article 1231-5 of the Code civil, that a court may increase or reduce them if manifestly excessive or derisory. They are without prejudice to additional damages we can prove (loss of revenue, harm to reputation), and to all legal remedies including injunction.

For Consumers, the parties agree that the court is free, under article 1231-5, to assess the appropriateness of these amounts in light of the nature and gravity of the actual breach.

22. Bad-faith and abusive use

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account, with prior notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure where the breach can be cured, in case of:

repeated abuse of the refund process across multiple Services;
coordinated multi-account purchasing followed by mass refund;
defamation, harassment, threats or insulting behaviour towards us, our staff, our partners, or other Customers, on or off the Website;
unlawful conduct;
material false statements made at the time of purchase or in a refund or guarantee request.

For incurable breaches (publication of leaked Content, public defamation, etc.), termination is immediate.

Termination for breach does not entitle you to a refund.

23. Audit and monitoring rights

We use the following lawful means to detect breaches:

server logs (timestamp, IP, user-agent);
login telemetry (concurrent sessions, geographic anomalies, abnormal access patterns);
fingerprints and watermarks embedded in delivered Content (section 20);
monitoring of public Internet for republished or leaked Content (search engines, code repositories, video platforms, AI-training datasets);
subpoena to ISPs or platforms when a leak has been identified, in accordance with the applicable procedure.

These activities are processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy and the RGPD.

24. User-generated content

When you submit content on the Website (questions, project files, code, comments, profile photo, testimonials), you warrant that:

you own that content or have all rights necessary to submit it,
the submission does not infringe any third-party right (copyright, trademark, image rights, privacy),
the submission does not violate any applicable law.

You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable licence to use, reproduce, display, adapt, translate, edit and distribute your submission for the purpose of operating the Service, supporting other learners, and showcasing exemplary projects in our marketing. You may opt out of marketing use at any time by emailing howto@learngeodata.eu, with effect for the future.

You remain the owner of your content. We may remove inappropriate, unlawful or off-topic submissions at any time, with or without notice.

25. Liability

We commit to deliver the Services with due care and skill, in conformity with the description displayed at the time of purchase.

For Consumers, our liability is governed by French law. We do not exclude or limit liability for:

death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
gross negligence or wilful misconduct;
breach of the legal warranties of sections 14 and 15;
any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by French law.

For all other types of damage, and to the maximum extent permitted by French law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to a Service is limited to the price you paid for that Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including without limitation loss of profit, loss of business, loss of clients, loss of opportunity, loss of reputation, or loss of data, except where French law provides otherwise.

We are not liable for:

damage to your hardware or software arising from the running of code, models or tools demonstrated in the Services on your own machines (you run them at your own risk and you are responsible for backups);
outages or failures of third-party services (Stripe, PayPal, Vimeo, OVH, MailPoet, etc.), beyond the diligence we apply to choose and supervise them under article 28 RGPD where applicable;
the substance of user-generated content posted by other Customers, in our capacity as hosting provider under article 6 of the LCEN.

For Professional / B2B Customers, the parties agree that the cap above also applies, except in case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct, and that in any event we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.

Any claim must be brought within the legal limitation periods. For B2B sales, the parties agree on a contractual limitation of one (1) year from the date the Customer became aware or should have become aware of the event giving rise to the claim, except where French law mandates a longer period.

26. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by an event of force majeure within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Code civil, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, generalised power or telecommunications outages, pandemics or epidemics. The party affected informs the other as soon as possible. If the event lasts more than 30 days, either party may terminate the contract by registered letter, without compensation.

27. Personal data and proof of consent

Our processing of your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy at https://learngeodata.eu/privacy-policy/, which forms an integral part of these terms. Buying a Service constitutes acknowledgement that you have read it.

When you tick “I accept these terms” at registration or checkout, we log: the timestamp (UTC), your IP address, your user-agent string, and the version of these terms you accepted. This electronic acceptance has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature per article 1366 of the Code civil. We retain this proof for at least 10 years under article L213-1 of the Code de la consommation and use it solely to demonstrate the contract in case of dispute.

28. Notices and electronic communications

All notices to you are sent to the email address registered on your Account. You agree to communication by electronic means for contractual purposes; this is equivalent to written communication under articles 1174 et seq. of the Code civil. You ensure that your registered email is current and that messages from learngeodata.eu are not blocked by your filters.

You may send us notices to howto@learngeodata.eu or by post to 3D Geodata Academy, 200 rue de la Croix Nivert, 75015 Paris, France.

29. Modification of the terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The new version applies to orders placed after its publication on the Website.

For ongoing contracts:

For minor changes (clarifications, corrections, links, contact details), we publish the updated version on the Website and on the Effective-date line above.
For material changes (essential characteristics of the Service, price for an ongoing subscription, scope of the licence, refund conditions), we notify you at least 30 days in advance by email. You can refuse the change by terminating the contract before the new version takes effect, and we refund any prepaid amount for the unused period.

30. Survival

The following sections survive termination of the contract for any reason: 1 (Identification), 2 (Definitions), 11 (Refund rules), 13 (Chargeback), 14-15 (Legal warranties, for the legal duration), 16 (IP), 17 (Licence — to the extent of access already granted), 18-21 (Prohibited uses, Trade secrets, Forensic, Remedies), 22 (Bad-faith), 23 (Audit), 24 (User content licence), 25 (Liability), 27 (Data), 30 (this clause), 31-34 (Governing law and dispute resolution), 35 (Miscellaneous).

31. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by French law.

If you are a Consumer with residence in the European Union, you may bring an action either before the courts of the place where we are domiciled (Paris) or before the courts of the place where you reside, in accordance with article R631-3 of the French Code de la consommation.

For Professional / B2B sales, the courts of Paris have exclusive jurisdiction, even in case of plurality of defendants, summary proceedings or third-party actions, except for any rule of public order to the contrary.

32. EU online dispute resolution platform

Pursuant to article 14 of EU Regulation 524/2013, the European Commission provides a free online dispute resolution platform, accessible at:

https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

Our email address for that platform is howto@learngeodata.eu.

33. Consumer mediation (articles L611-1 et seq. Code de la consommation)

In accordance with articles L611-1 and following of the French Code de la consommation, in the event of a dispute that we have not been able to resolve directly within 30 days of your written complaint, you may, free of charge, submit your case to the following consumer mediator:

CM2C — Centre de la médiation de la consommation de conciliateurs de justice 14 rue Saint Jean, 75017 Paris, France https://cm2c.net

Recourse to mediation does not deprive you of your right to bring a court action.

34. Pre-litigation notice (B2B and B2B-like disputes)

Where you are a Professional / B2B Customer, the parties agree to attempt good-faith negotiation before any litigation. The complaining party sends a written notice (mise en demeure) by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the other party’s registered address, identifying the alleged breach and the remedy sought. The other party has 30 days to respond. Absent resolution within 60 days of the notice, either party may bring the matter before the competent court of Paris.

This pre-litigation step does not apply to Consumers, who may directly seize the mediator (section 33), the courts (section 31) or the EU ODR platform (section 32).

No waiver. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them to any successor of the Academy, with notice to you.
Independent parties. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, agency, employment or joint-venture relationship.
Headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
Language. These terms are made available in English. In case of conflict between the English version and any translation, the French version prevails for matters governed by French law that require the French language; otherwise the English version prevails.
