Terms and Conditions

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTCS) apply to all training service offers provided by Next Generation Academy. By placing an order, the Client unreservedly accepts the GTCS in effect. Any contrary conditions, including any general or specific conditions issued by the Client, shall not prevail over these GTCS unless expressly and in writing accepted by Next Generation Academy, regardless of when they were brought to the attention of Next Generation Academy.
The fact that Next Generation Academy does not enforce a provision of the GTCS at a given time shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the right to enforce it later. The GTCS may be amended, and the most recent version available on our website shall apply to the order. The Client guarantees that all its employees, agents, and representatives comply with these GTCS.
Finally, the Client acknowledges having received, prior to any order, the necessary information and advice from Next Generation Academy to ensure the relevance of the service offer with respect to its needs.

Order Process

Any order for inter-company training implies that the client accepts the program available on our website at the date of the order if no adaptation has been validated.
Any order for in-company training implies that the client accepts the training content as described in the collaboration proposal—both pedagogically and financially—of which they possess a copy.
Signing the order form and/or agreeing to the collaboration proposal indicates that the client has read these conditions and accepts them irrevocably and without reservation.
Next Generation Academy reserves the right to modify these conditions at any time, without notice and without giving the client any right to compensation.
Next Generation Academy offers inter-company as well as in-company training services.
As part of these trainings, Next Generation Academy may install software on the Client’s computers.
In such cases, the Client acquires no rights to these software programs, but only a right of use limited to the duration and needs of the training.

Absence and Cancellation Policy

For on-site training at the Client’s premises, unless otherwise specified in the agreement, the installation of teaching equipment (such as projectors, etc.) and software is not included in the training price.
These services will be billed separately.
Any cancellation of registration must be communicated by phone and then confirmed in writing. If cancellation occurs more than two weeks before the start of the training, no fee will be charged. If cancellation occurs between one and two weeks before the start, 50% of the total training cost will be billed. If cancellation occurs less than one week before the start, the full training cost will be billed. A postponement made less than two weeks before the start will be considered a cancellation.
In case of the participant’s absence, the ordered service will be billed in full.
Next Generation Academy reserves the right to cancel any training due to a lack of participants or for technical or logistical reasons, without any compensation.
In such cases, participants will be notified at least one week before the start of the training.
New dates or modalities (including remote learning) will be proposed, resulting in a new order.

Financial Conditions

Our prices are stated in euros before tax and are subject to VAT at the applicable rate.
The invoice will be sent to the Client after the service is delivered.
If payment is to be covered by a Skills Operator (OPCO), it is the Client’s responsibility to request coverage from the relevant OPCO before the start of the training. The financing agreement must be provided at the time of registration. Even if the OPCO partially or fully covers the cost, the fees will be billed directly to the Client, who must then handle reimbursement by the OPCO. In case of partial coverage, the difference will be invoiced to the Client. If the OPCO’s agreement is not provided before the first day of training, we reserve the right to invoice the Client for the full training fees. If the OPCO fails to pay for any reason, the invoice amount remains payable by the Client.
Any training started is due in full.
Our invoices serve as a simplified training agreement. However, a standard training agreement can be provided upon request.
Payment of invoices must be made by bank transfer. Full payment is required before the start of the training—no later than fourteen (14) calendar days before the start when training begins within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, or within thirty (30) days of the invoice date if the training begins later. Any late payment will automatically result in: Late interest at three times the legal interest rate; Immediate payment of all outstanding sums.
In accordance with Article L 441-6 of the French Commercial Code, any payment made after the due date will result in a fixed compensation of €40 for recovery costs.
If actual recovery costs exceed this amount, an additional fee may be charged upon presentation of proof.
Next Generation Academy also reserves the right to suspend or cancel ongoing services without liability for damages.
All applicable duties and taxes will be billed in addition, in accordance with current legislation.

Intellectual Property

The Client agrees not to use training content to train individuals outside its own staff and assumes full responsibility under Articles L.122-4 and L.335-2 and following of the French Intellectual Property Code in the event of unauthorized transfer or communication of the content.
Any reproduction, representation, modification, publication, transmission, or alteration, in whole or in part, of the training materials is strictly prohibited, regardless of the method or medium used.
The Client will be held liable for any unauthorized use of the software or educational materials provided.

Accessibility

Next Generation Academy strives to make its online training accessible to as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities. Participants with specific needs are encouraged to inform us at the time of registration so that appropriate accommodations can be considered. Specific adjustments may include providing adapted educational materials, personalized support, or technical assistance. If, despite these efforts, accessibility conditions do not allow effective participation, an alternative solution or rescheduling may be offered.

Liability

Next Generation Academy shall not be held liable for any failure or for any cause beyond its control.
Regardless of the nature of the service, Next Generation Academy’s liability is expressly limited to compensation for proven direct damages only, and only if duly proven by the Client.
Furthermore, Next Generation Academy’s liability is capped at the amount paid by the Client for the relevant service.
Under no circumstances shall Next Generation Academy be held liable for indirect damages such as loss of data or files, business interruption, commercial loss, loss of profits, or damage to image and reputation.
Next Generation Academy shall not be held liable to the Client in the event of non-performance due to force majeure.
