LEXTRACTIV is not responsible for payments processed via PayPal or any other payment gateway used on our website for payments, including, without limitation, for certification applications, exam fees, annual maintenance fees, exam rescheduling, etc.

LEXTRACTIV INTL is aware of the importance of ensuring the security of your online shopping experience, which is why LEXTRACTIV INTL uses reliable third-party service providers such as PayPal and other payment gateways. To this end, we use the SSL certificate of a reliable third-party service provider to secure your personal information. The SSL certificate confirms that LEXTRACTIV INTL. has been evaluated as having installed the highest Internet security standard available in the retail sector. No matter what page you visit on our website, including a checkout process or login/registration pages, you will see a green address bar.

Such termination may include, without limitation, the bulletin boards contained therein. If we terminate your access, the restrictions on the materials on the site and the representations and warranties, indemnities and limitations of liability set forth herein shall survive.

RETRACTATION

We agree that Lextractiv international follows French consumer law,

and grants its customers the right of withdrawal within 14 days from the date of validation of your order. In this case, retraction can only be made by registered mail (date of postmark) or by e-mail. This must be done before payment for the service/product. Once payment has been made, we will not be able to grant you a retraction or refund. ONCE THE 14-DAY PERIOD HAS ELAPSED, EVEN WITHOUT ANY PAYMENT ON YOUR PART, INSOFAR AS YOU HAVE NOT REPORTED THE WITHDRAWAL AND OUR EXPERT CONSULTANTS HAVE CONTINUED THE WORK, AND PROBABLY COMPLETED IT IF NECESSARY, THIS SERVICE WILL CONSTITUTE A DEBT, WITH THE ORDER FORM MENTIONING THE AMOUNT ACTING AS PROOF OF THE DEBT. AND YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED AS OUR CREDITOR WITH ALL THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.

However, the right of withdrawal does not apply to all our services. No right or period of withdrawal is accepted for the RELEXT magazine, for PECB training courses and certifications, for the drafting of deeds and the delivery of legal opinions. These services benefit from an exception to the right of withdrawal.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

We agree that Lextractiv international can only grant you the right to after-sales service for its sub-domains: Lextractiv Consulting, Lextractiv Learning and Lextractiv Litigation. We provide free modifications and support for 60 days on services already carried out by Lextractiv intl. However, the after-sales service law does not cover the implementation of notices and recommendations, which will be the subject of new service contracts.

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP AND RISK

We agree that the transfer of ownership as well as the transfer of risks is immediate after full payment of the service or the related product. (Deferred or immediate transfer)
