The instructors are therefore solely and fully responsible for performing the Main Services purchased through the Platform. Instructors working independently on their own meet the same requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The ESi Schools or independent instructors, on the other hand, provide the administrative part related to the provision of the Services; in this capacity, they are responsible for the presentation, content, and availability of the Services, as well as the handling of any claims from Customers related to their purchase through the Platform.<\/p>\n<p>The ESi Schools have accepted, on behalf of and for the account of the instructors with whom they work, the General Conditions. The independent instructors have also accepted the General Conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>I.

PURPOSE<\/h3>\n<p>The General Terms are intended to define the conditions under which the SiMS allows Platform users to access the Platform and provides them with intermediation services enabling them to purchase Services from ESi Schools or an independent instructor.<\/p>\n<p>III. ACCEPTANCE AND NOTIFICATION OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS<\/p>\n<p>The fact that any User checks the box \u00abI have read the General Terms of Use and I fully agree with them\u00bb before proceeding with the payment of the ordered Services constitutes an irrevocable and unreserved acceptance of all the stipulations of the General Terms of Use.<\/p>\n<p>These General Conditions form a contract between the SiMS and the User.<\/p>\n<p>If the User refuses to comply with any of the obligations and conditions contained in the General Terms of Use, they must refrain from using the Platform.<\/p>\n<p>The User declares and guarantees that he\/she has the legal capacity to contract and, if he\/she represents a company or any other organization with legal personality, that he\/she is authorized to act on behalf of and for the account of that company or organization.<\/p>\n<p>The General Terms of Use constitute, together with the General Terms of Sale of the ESi School or the SiMS by ESi instructor concerned with the Services purchased by the Customer, the entire agreement between the parties and replace any previous agreement or arrangement relating thereto, whether oral or written.<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of the General Conditions of Sale of the ESi School or the relevant SiMS by ESi instructor, the General Conditions of Use apply.<\/p>\n<p>The SiMS reserves the right to modify the General Terms of Use at any time.<\/p>\n<p>The Customer is informed that the ESi Schools or the SiMS by ESi instructor may do the same with their General Terms and Conditions of Sale.<\/p>\n<p>The General Conditions of Use applicable to an Order, like the General Conditions of Sale of the ESi School or the SiMS by ESi instructor concerned, are however always those in force at the time the said Order is placed and which are expressly accepted by the User.<\/p>\n<h3>IV. ORDER PROCESS<\/h3>\n<h4>SERVICES<\/h4>\n<p>It is advisable to contact the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor, or to consult their website for details of the services offered, including their essential characteristics, terms and conditions, prices, period and duration.<\/p>\n<p>A hypertext link to the website of each ESi School or independent instructor is available on the Platform.<\/p>\n<h4>CONCLUSION OF THE SALE<\/h4>\n<p>The User selects on the Platform the Services they wish to purchase by adding them to the basket.<\/p>\n<p>Prices are indicated including all taxes and correspond to those in effect at the time the Order is placed.<\/p>\n<p>The User may order Services on their own behalf or on behalf of one or more close relatives; in this case, the User acknowledges having received permission from that close relative to use their personal data and to register on the Platform to subscribe to Services in their name.<\/p>\n<p>The user finds the selected Services on the Platform and their prices in their basket.<\/p>\n<p>When his selection is complete, the User can place an order by clicking on the corresponding button.<\/p>\n<p>He is then asked to read and accept the general terms and conditions of sale specific to the ESi School or the independent instructor who sells the selected Services.<\/p>\n<p>The user then manually enters the fields of the registration form using complete and accurate information, it being noted that the fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory to enable the processing of the Order by the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor.<\/p>\n<p>A summary of its data and order is then generated to allow the User to check their basket and the information provided and, if necessary, to modify it.<\/p>\n<p>The User can then proceed to pay for their Order after having read and validated the Platform\u2019s General Conditions.<\/p>\n<p>By clicking on the \u00abconfirm and pay\u00bb button, the User undertakes to purchase and pay to the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor the selected Services.<\/p>\n<p>If the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor has online booking facilities, the Order is immediately validated and the sale of the Services is deemed complete: a confirmation email for the Order is then automatically sent to the Customer along with their payment receipt.<\/p>\n<p>If the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor does not have online booking facilities, the latter, directly informed by the Platform\u2019s services, then has a period of twenty-four (24) hours to validate the Order; an email is then automatically sent to the Customer informing them that their Order is pending validation and that only a pre-authorisation on their payment method has been recorded.<\/p>\n<p>* In the event of validation, the sale of the Services is definitively concluded and deemed perfect: a confirmation email of the Order is then sent to the Customer along with its payment receipt;<\/p>\n<p>* In the event of refusal, an email explaining the reason for the refusal and cancelling the Order is then sent to the Customer, and the imprint of their payment method is simultaneously erased.<\/p>\n<p>The Order cannot be cancelled or modified by the Customer until the relevant ESi School or independent instructor has accepted or refused the Order and, at the latest, before the expiry of the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Failure by the ESI School or the relevant independent instructor to respond within the twenty-four (24) hour period shall constitute a refusal of the Order, such that the sales contract is not concluded: the Order is then automatically cancelled and the pre-authorisation on the Customer\u2019s payment method is simultaneously released.<\/p>\n<h4>Payment of the price<\/h4>\n<p>The price of the Order is paid in the currency of the country where the Services will be provided, either in euros or Swiss francs.<\/p>\n<p>The Customer pays the price of their Order EXCLUSIVELY by credit card via a secure server.<\/p>\n<p>Upon validation of the Order, the payment method provided is debited in full of the price.<\/p>\n<p>The Customer is informed that in the absence of full payment of the price upon validation of the Order, it will be automatically cancelled.<\/p>\n<h3>V. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL<\/h3>\n<p>The right of withdrawal provided for in Article L 221-18 of the Consumer Code for the benefit of consumers in the context of a distance sale is not applicable to the Services in that they constitute, in the sense of Article 221-28, 12\u00b0 of the same Code, services of leisure activities to be provided at a specific date or period.<\/p>\n<h3>VI. MODIFICATION AND CANCELATION OF THE ORDER<\/h3>\n<h4>MODIFICATION<\/h4>\n<p>The Platform allowing the purchase of the Services through the SiMS, which acts solely as a trusted third party, no modification of the Order can be made on the Platform or with the SiMS.<\/p>\n<p>In case of any need for changes to the Order (hours, number of people, level\u2026), the Customer must contact the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor directly.<\/p>\n<p>Requests for modifications will be processed in accordance with the general terms and conditions of sale of the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor whose details the Customer has been made aware of and who has validated them during the ordering process, it being specified that any ESi School or independent instructor will do their best to accommodate the Customer\u2019s requests subject to the availability of its instructors and any potential additional costs, the amount of which will be communicated to the Customer for validation and paid directly to the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor.<\/p>\n<h4>CANCELLATION<\/h4>\n<p>The Order may be cancelled under the following conditions:<\/p>\n<p>By the Client of the ordered services:<\/p>\n<p>Any request to cancel an Order by the Customer must be made in writing and sent directly to the relevant ESi School or independent instructor or via the contact form on the Platform, mentioning the Order reference.<\/p>\n<p>The effective date of the cancellation request is, if applicable, the date printed on the letter or the date of submission of the contact form used on the Platform.<\/p>\n<p>in the event of cancellation more than one (1) month before the start of the execution of the purchased Services, the Client will be refunded the entire amount paid;<\/p>\n<p>in the event of cancellation between one (1) month and eight (8) days before the start of the performance of the Services, the Client will be refunded the entire amount paid, less an administration fee corresponding to ten percent (10%) of the amount of the Order;<\/p>\n<p>In the event of cancellation one (1) week or less before the start of the performance of the Services, the principle and the terms and conditions for refunding the amounts paid to the Customer are governed directly by the General Terms and Conditions of Sale of the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor, it being specified that in all cases ten percent (10%) of the amount of the Order will be definitively retained to cover the administration fee.<\/p>\n<p>Subject to the above, refunds to the Customer will be made within thirty (30) days from the date of the cancellation request.<\/p>\n<p>Cancellation by the ESi School or the concerned independent instructor:<\/p>\n<p>The ESi schools or independent instructors are not intended to cancel the Services purchased by the Customer unless:<\/p>\n<p>in the event of an insufficient number of participants in group lessons,<\/p>\n<p>in the event of the unforeseeable unavailability of an instructor and the impossibility of replacing them immediately,<\/p>\n<p>in cases where weather conditions make the performance of the Services dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, the fate of the sums paid by the Client is governed directly by the General Terms and Conditions of Sale of the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor.<\/p>\n<h4>SPECIAL CONTEXT RELATED TO COVID-19<\/h4>\n<p>The context related to COVID-19 is likely to lead to:<\/p>\n<p>* make it impossible for the ESi Schools or the independent instructor to provide the Services purchased by the Client, or force them to interrupt such Services: in such cases, the Services will be postponed where possible and, failing that, the price paid will be refunded to the Client in full or prorata temporis;<\/p>\n<p>* an impossibility for the Client to benefit from the purchased Services, either due to travel restrictions imposed by the National Authorities or quarantine periods in place: in such cases, the Client will be fully or prorata temporis reimbursed upon presentation of appropriate documentation.<\/p>\n<h4>VII. PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES<\/h4>\n<p>For the proper performance of the purchased Services, the Client undertakes to provide truthful and honest information during the Order process and to subsequently comply with the instructions provided in the email confirming their Order, in particular regarding the place, date and time of the meeting point for the start of the lessons.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of a delay at the appointed meeting point, the Customer will not be entitled to any refund, even partial reimbursement of the price paid, or compensation.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies where, for a Main Service in group lessons, the instructor in charge of the group corresponding to the level declared by the Client decides to move the student to a group matching their actual level, subject to availability: it should be remembered that a consistent level among students is crucial within a group for the smooth running and quality of the Main Services.<\/p>\n<p>For more details on the terms of performance of the Services, it is important for the Client to refer to the General Conditions of Sale specific to the ESI School or the relevant independent instructor that they have accepted before finalizing their Order.<\/p>\n<h4>VIII. INSURANCE<\/h4>\n<p>The purchase of Services does not entail any coverage for the Client under the professional civil liability insurance of the relevant ESi School and\/or their instructors, or the independent instructor for the risks inherent in the practice of ski sports during the time that they are under the supervision of the instructor responsible for the execution of the Main Services.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore the Client\u2019s responsibility to insure themselves against such risks and, where appropriate, to take out additional cancellation insurance in case they become unable to take part in snow sports as a result of an accident during the performance of the Services.<\/p>\n<p>The ESi School or the independent instructor concerned will, if necessary, upon express request from the Customer, provide all supporting documents allowing the latter to claim reimbursement from their insurance company.<\/p>\n<h3>IX. RESPONSIBILITIES<\/h3>\n<h4>RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SIMS<\/h4>\n<p>The role of the SiMS is solely to connect Clients with the ESi schools or the independent instructor for the purchase of Services.<\/p>\n<p>The SiMS does not intervene in contractual relations between the Client and the ESi Schools or the independent instructor, beyond the provision of the platform facilitating their connection.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the SiMS does not, in any way, act as a representative, broker or agent of the ESi Schools or the independent instructor, and is therefore completely extraneous to the contractual relationships that may be concluded between a Client and an ESi School or independent instructor via the Platform or otherwise, directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the SiMS cannot be held responsible, in any way whatsoever, for any damage of any nature resulting from these relationships, to the Client or third parties.<\/p>\n<p>The SiMS is solely responsible for the proper functioning of the Platform and its accessibility to Users, it being specified that it is only required to meet a mere obligation of means regarding the continuity of access to the Platform.<\/p>\n<p>The SiMS does not guarantee the sustainability or the performance of the Platform.<\/p>\n<p>SiMS reserves the right to suspend access to the Platform, temporarily or permanently, without notice.<\/p>\n<p>It may interrupt access to the Platform for reasons including maintenance, updates, and emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>The temporary or definitive interruption of the Platform will not entail the responsibility of the SiMS and will not entitle the User to any compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the SiMS cannot be held liable for any damage to hardware, software, or data (for example, viral contamination) suffered by the User as a result of their use of the Platform.<\/p>\n<h4>RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ESi SCHOOLS OR OF THE INDEPENDENT INSTRUCTOR<\/h4>\n<p>Customers should refer to the general sales conditions of the ESi schools or the independent instructor responsible for the services they have purchased to know the extent of their liability.<\/p>\n<h4>RESPONSIBILITY OF USERS<\/h4>\n<p>The User undertakes to:<\/p>\n<p>* comply with the terms of the General Conditions;<\/p>\n<p>* communicate to the SIMS, within the agreed deadlines, all the information necessary for the provision of the Services;<\/p>\n<p>* protect against the risks of loss or hacking of data, files, and programs by using regularly updated antivirus software;<\/p>\n<p>* use the Platform in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to the Contract;<\/p>\n<p>* not to use the Platform in a manner that would be likely to harm the reputation of SIMS and\/or the ESI Schools or the independent instructor;<\/p>\n<h3>X. TRANSFERABILITY<\/h3>\n<p>Unless prior written permission has been obtained from the ESi School or the relevant independent instructor, the Client may not assign or transfer the benefit of the Orders placed to any natural or legal person of their choice.<\/p>\n<h3>XI. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY<\/h3>\n<p>All the technical, graphic, textual or other elements constituting the Platform, as well as the Platform itself, are protected by Intellectual Property Rights.<\/p>\n<p>The User acknowledges that no property is transferred to them, and that no right or license is granted to them, other than the non-exclusive, personal and non-transferable right to use the Platform during the duration of the General Terms and only for the purposes of their proper execution.<\/p>\n<p>The Platform contains hyperlinks to the websites of the ESi Schools or the independent instructor and may also contain hyperlinks to third-party websites.<\/p>\n<p>These links are provided for informational purposes only.<\/p>\n<p>The SiMS has no control over the sites to which these links refer and disclaims any responsibility regarding access to, the content of, or the use of these sites, as well as any damage that may result from the consultation of the information contained on these sites.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the User is redirected to the website of a third party, the terms of use of that website apply instead of the General Conditions, which cease to apply.<\/p>\n<h3>XII.

directly from them during the Order process.<\/p>\n<p>Users are informed on each form for the collection of personal data that the responses are mandatory or optional by the presence of an asterisk.<\/p>\n<h4>LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF DATA<\/h4>\n<p>The legal bases for the processing that the SiMS may be required to carry out with personal data of Users are:<\/p>\n<p>* The execution of the contractual relations between SiMS and the Users<\/p>\n<p>In order to use the Platform and benefit from the services it offers, Users must accept the General Conditions available at

intermediary between Users and the ESi Schools or the independent instructor, the SiMS securely transfers the Users\u2019 personal data to the relevant ESi Schools or independent instructor for the purpose of executing their Orders.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, the ESi Schools or the concerned independent instructor are the data controllers, and it is therefore advisable for Users to refer to the general terms and conditions of sale specific to them, which they have accepted before placing an Order and which are available on their respective websites.<\/p>\n<p>SIMS may also be required to temporarily and securely transfer certain personal data of Users to third parties only when necessary:<\/p>\n<p>* for the payment of the Order placed by the User (e.g. payment service provider);<\/p>\n<p>* for the operation and maintenance of the Platform (e.g. the Platform\u2019s host);<\/p>\n<p>* in order to comply with an order from the legal authorities.<\/p>\n<p>In all the

COOKIES<\/h3>\n<p>In order to improve the functioning of the Platform, the SiMS uses audience measurement cookies such as the number of page views, the number of visits, the activity of visitors on the Platform, and their return frequency through the services of AT Internet and Google Analytics.<\/p>\n<p>These cookies only allow the compilation of statistical studies on the traffic of the Platform\u2019s visitors, the results of which are completely anonymous.<\/p>\n<p>The User can access all the information contained in the files related to the cookies used by SIMS:<\/p>\n<p>* either by email to the address: info@ecoldeski.fr<\/p>\n<p>* either by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the following address: 6, Route provinciale \u2013 BP 25 \u2013 73201 Albertville Cedex<\/p>\n<p>When the regulations require it, the User\u2019s consent to the registration of these cookies on their terminal is collected by SIMS in accordance with the procedures specified within the interface provided on the Platform for this purpose.<\/p>\n<h3>XIV.

MISCELLANEOUS<\/h3>\n<h4>SEVERABILITY<\/h4>\n<p>The nullity of one of the provisions of the General Conditions would only result in the annulment of the General Conditions as a whole if the declared nullified clause were to be considered, in the minds of the Parties, as substantive and decisive of their consent, and provided that the overall balance of the agreement cannot be safeguarded. In the event of the nullity of a clause, the Parties will, in any event, strive to renegotiate an economically equivalent clause.<\/p>\n<h4>WAIVER<\/h4>\n<p>The fact that one of the Parties, at any time, fails to require the performance by another Party or to make use of any provision of the General Conditions, cannot in any case be interpreted as an express or tacit waiver of its right to require the scrupulous performance of the commitments undertaken by that other Party.<\/p>\n<h4>TITLE OF ARTICLES<\/h4>\n<p>The article titles are only indicative.
