In accordance with article L. 132-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the commitment to pay given by means of a payment card is irrevocable. By providing the information relating to his bank card, the User authorizes Stripe, acting on behalf of the Publisher, to debit his bank card for the amount corresponding to the price of the Subscription.

To this end, the User confirms that he is the holder of the bank card to be debited and that the name appearing on the bank card is indeed his. The User communicates the sixteen digits and the expiry date of his credit card as well as, where applicable, the numbers of the visual cryptogram.

ARTICLE 11 – INDEPENDENCE OF THE PARTIES

Neither Party may avail itself of the provisions of this Agreement to claim, in any way, the capacity of agent, representative or servant of the other Party, nor to bind the other Party with regard to third parties beyond the services explicitly provided for by the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, under the terms of this Agreement, no particular legal structure is formed between the Parties, each of them retaining its full autonomy, its responsibilities and its own clientele. Each Party will therefore retain exclusive control over its employees, servants and agents, without the other Party being able in any way to influence the relations and working conditions of employees of the other Party, nor on the salary policy, the hiring policy or the disciplinary power of that other Party, this list not being exhaustive.

ARTICLE 12 – DISPUTES

This Contract is subject to the application of French law. It is initially written in French. In the event that it is translated, totally or partially, into one or more languages, only the French text will prevail in the event of a dispute.

Any disagreement or dispute that is not resolved amicably between the parties may be the subject, prior to any referral to the competent court, of recourse to the consumer mediator in the event that the User is a consumer.

The Editor thus declares to have adhered to the Mediator E-Commerce Fevad (https://www.mediateurfevad.fr), 60 rue la Boétie - 75008 PARIS - FRANCE to allow the User to exercise this right.

ARTICLE 13 – GENERAL PROVISIONS

No document may give rise to new obligations if it is not the subject of a written amendment, signed by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is the only document to produce effects between the Parties.

If a clause of the Agreement is declared null, it will be deemed unwritten, without entailing the nullity of the contractual whole by which the Parties will remain committed to each other. If necessary, the Parties undertake to negotiate in good faith the provisions necessary to replace clauses which may have been the subject of cancellation or invalidation for any reason whatsoever.

The fact for a Party not to claim the application of any provision of this Agreement or to tolerate the non-performance thereof temporarily or permanently, may in no case be interpreted as a waiver by this Party to exercise the rights it holds hereunder. The fact that a Party tolerates the non-performance or imperfect performance of any contractual obligation or more generally of tolerating any act, abstention or omission of the other Party not in conformity with the contractual provisions cannot confer any right on the Party which enjoys such tolerance.
