9.2. Payment method

9.2.1. Express Buy

In Express Buy, the Client can only pay using his bankcard. All payments should be made at once and at the time of the training purchase. Accepted bankcards are VISA, MASTERCARD and AMERICAN EXPRESS.

The method of payment by default is bankcard. If the Client wants to change the method of payment (cheque or bank transfer), he has the possibility to request a payment change to BUTTERFLY from his account in the dedicated area. In case of deferred payment and in the event of late or non-payment BUTTERFLY could without any formal notice take measures as described in article 9.7. of these terms and conditions.

9.3. Secure payment

When purchasing training on the website, the client is redirected to Ogone as a payment system. At this stage, the client will be asked to fill in corresponding fields with his bankcard number, expiry date and control number. The various stages of the payment process between the Client and Ogone are fully encrypted and protected. The protocol used is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) linked with e-banking. This means that information linked to the order and the bankcard number do not circulate unencrypted on the internet. The bankcard number is not printed out onto documents, invoices, credit card receipts or other print-outs. Besides, BUTTERFLY will never access the Client payment information. Ogone does not keep card numbers once the payment transaction has been transmitted to BUTTERFLY.

9.4. Order process and validation

The effective date of enrolment into a service or training is the validation of the order.

9.6. Right of cancellation

Subject to this provision, the 14 day period shall begin from the day the Client accepts these terms and conditions.

Unless there is agreement between BUTTERFLY and the Client to the contrary, the Client may not exercise the right of cancellation referred to in this paragraph once the purchased training has been opened/started.

BUTTERFLY reminds that this right does not apply to legal person.

If the delay is equal or greater to three months, all services and training in progress can be unilaterally interrupted until full payment is received Moreover, in cases of returned or failed payment, BUTTERFLY could ask the client to pay 100 euro (tax excluded) for denied payment.

All disagreements concerning the issues of invoicing, and the nature of the services that are under reclamation must be sent in writing via Recorded Delivery with Proof of postal delivery or by fax, respecting a period of notice that is 8 days from the date that the invoice has been delivered. In the absence of these details, the Client acknowledges the acceptation of its invoice. In the cases of dispute, the total outstanding amount of unpaid invoices or debits (including the amount corresponding to the services that are disputed), must be paid by the due date. Once the period allotted for payment has effectively run out, the Client will be expected to honour all of their outstanding debts and to redress immediately their financial irregularities. From this point onwards, the client's complaint or dispute will no longer be accepted as a valid contestation.

9.8. Proof
