📜 2. Scope and application of the general terms and conditions
These general terms and conditions apply to all training actions offered by FB JURIS, whether or not they fall within the scope of continuing professional development as defined by the French Labour Code.
They supplement the specific terms defined for each course, as stated in the training programme or in any other contractual document.
The general and specific terms and conditions, together with any annexes, form the training agreement, unless a specific contract or agreement is issued.
Thus:
- For training outside the scope of continuing professional development under the French Labour Code, the agreement comprises the general and specific terms;
- For training within the scope:
- when funded by an organisation on behalf of its members, the general and specific terms may form the agreement unless a specific agreement is concluded;
- when funded by the individual beneficiary, a training contract must be established.
In the event of a conflict between applicable documents, the following order of precedence applies:
- Any specific contract or agreement takes priority;
- Specific terms override the present general terms.

9.1. Training fees
The fee is indicated for each training course.
9.2. VAT
We are subject to value-added tax (VAT) in France. In principle, our services are subject to the standard VAT rate (20%).
When the customer enters their billing address on our website, the applicable VAT rate is automatically determined and, where applicable, added to the tax-exclusive price, based on their location and tax status. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the information provided before confirming payment.
If you believe that the VAT treatment automatically applied by the website does not reflect your tax situation, do not proceed with payment directly on our website and contact us via the pre-registration form or the quick contact form.
🇫🇷🇪🇺 Transactions subject to French VAT
Under territoriality rules, French VAT applies to clients who are subject to VAT in France, as well as to clients who are not subject to VAT but are established within the European Union (either in France or in another Member State).
🇪🇺🌍 Cross-border transactions exempt from French VAT
French VAT may not apply in the cases listed below, in accordance with the territoriality rules applicable to intangible services.
🇪🇺 Case 1 – If the customer is subject to VAT in a Member State of the European Union other than France, VAT is due in the country of the recipient under the reverse charge mechanism, in accordance with Articles 56 and 196 of Directive 2006/112/EC. The customer must inform us of their situation before the invoice is issued, by providing their VAT identification number (EU VAT number). Otherwise, French VAT will be applied. Please use the pre-registration form or the quick contact form.
🌍 Cases 2 and 3 – If the customer is established outside the European Union, whether subject to VAT (Article 259 of the French General Tax Code) or not (Article 259 B of the same Code), French VAT does not apply. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify whether the law applicable in their country subjects the transaction to local VAT.
VAT exemption for teaching and continuing professional development
Our teaching and training services may be exempt from French VAT under Article 261 (4. 4° a.) of the French Tax Code.
Our services falling within the scope of continuing professional development, as defined in Articles L. 6311-1 and L. 6313-1 of the French Labour Code, will be VAT-exempt upon receipt of the certificate referred to in the aforementioned provision of the Tax Code.

↩️ 10. Right of withdrawal
Summary – The right of withdrawal depends on the type of training and the status of the purchaser (consumer, professional, individual or organisation). This section sets out the applicable time limits and conditions for exercising the right of withdrawal, with a summary table for clarity.
10.1. Training outside the scope of continuing professional development, funded by a consumer
When the purchaser is a consumer within the meaning of the French Consumer Code, and the order is placed remotely for a training course that does not fall within the scope of continuing professional development, the consumer has a 14-day right of withdrawal from the conclusion of the contract, pursuant to Article L. 221-18 of the Consumer Code.
However, in accordance with Article L. 221-28 1° of the Consumer Code, this right does not apply if the service begins before the end of the 14-day period, with the consumer’s express prior consent and express waiver of the right of withdrawal.
10.2. Training within the scope of continuing professional development, funded by an individual
When an individual registers for a training course that falls within the scope of continuing professional development under French law and funds it personally, they have a 10-day right of withdrawal from the date of signing the training contract, in accordance with Article L. 6353-5 of the French Labour Code.
No payment may be requested during this period, and the course may not begin before it ends.
If the contract is concluded remotely by an individual acting as a consumer, the right of withdrawal under the Consumer Code may also apply.
After the 10-day period mentioned above, but before the expiry of the 14-day period provided by the Consumer Code, the purchaser may expressly agree to early commencement of the training and waive the right of withdrawal, pursuant to Article L. 221-28 1° of the Consumer Code.
10.3. Training funded by an organisation
When the training is funded by a third-party organisation (employer, skills operator, public administration, etc.) under a training agreement, no right of withdrawal applies, unless contractually agreed otherwise.
10.4. Summary table – Right of withdrawal
| Situation | Right of withdrawal | Withdrawal period | Access to training |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-regulated training funded by a consumer | ✅ Yes (Art. L. 221-18 Consumer Code) | 14 days | After 14 days or immediately with waiver |
| Continuing professional development funded by an individual | ✅ Yes (Art. L. 6353-5 Labour Code) | 10 days | After 10 days (waiver not possible) |
| Continuing professional development funded by a consumer | ✅ Yes | 14 days | After 14 days or after 10 days with waiver |
| Training funded by an organisation (employer, OPCO, etc.) | ❌ No | – | Immediate |
10.5. Exercising your right of withdrawal

❌ 11. Cancellation, postponement and early termination of training
11.1. Termination of the contract due to force majeure
In accordance with Article L. 6353-7 of the French Labour Code, when an individual has entered into a training contract personally and at their own expense and is prevented from completing the training due to duly recognised force majeure, they may terminate the contract.
In such cases, only the services actually delivered are payable, in proportion to their contractual value.
The request for early termination must be submitted as soon as possible, along with any supporting documents.
11.2. Cancellation or postponement at the participant’s initiative
Except in cases of withdrawal or force majeure, any request for cancellation or postponement initiated by the participant must be made as early as possible using our contact form.
Where no specific legal or contractual provision applies, we will make every effort to propose a mutually acceptable solution, such as:
- postponement to a later session,
- extended access to online content, or
- in some cases, issuing a credit note.
These solutions are offered as a courtesy and shall not be considered a contractual entitlement.
11.3. Cancellation or interruption at the initiative of FB JURIS
We reserve the right to cancel or postpone a training course in exceptional circumstances (including an insufficient number of participants, trainer unavailability, technical impossibility, or force majeure).
In such cases:
- a postponement or credit will be proposed as a priority;
- a full refund may be issued if no alternative is proposed or accepted.
We undertake to inform the affected participants as soon as possible.
11.4. Evaluation of services in the event of early termination
The following provisions apply in the event of early termination of the training contract resulting from:
- a case of force majeure invoked by the participant (see section 11.1);
- a cancellation or postponement request accepted as a courtesy (see section 11.2);
- a cancellation or interruption initiated by FB JURIS (see section 11.3).
In all such cases, the services are assessed in proportion to their contractual value.
For this purpose, the breakdown provided in section 9.5 — which specifies the training phases and their respective value within the payment schedule — serves as the reference to determine:
- the portion of services already delivered,
- the portion eligible for refund or still due by the participant.
This allocation is applied with a concern for proportionality and transparency.
