5/ The User fills in his payment information by validating his order, and by ticking the obligatory box validating his full and complete acceptance of the present CGUV and his express renunciation of his right of retraction; this process which constitutes the second legal click is finalized by clicking on the button " Validate the order ";

Article 9.3 Resolutive clause by operation of law
. Payment must be made immediately after the validation of the order, and will be considered effective once the Provider's account has been credited with the corresponding sums, directly or via its third party payment provider.

. The User fully accepts that his order and his contract are considered null and void, and that in this case he will not be able to claim any right to the use of the Products and/or Services.
