Article 10 - Payment in instalments

Some Services are offered with payment in installments.

The impossibility of starting the sums due will result in the immediate cancellation of access, without reimbursement of the amounts already paid.

Article 11 - Right of withdrawal and guarantees

Money back guarantee

For information purposes, in France, Article L121-20-2 of the Consumer Code excludes from the legal withdrawal period the “supply of audio or video recordings or computer software when they have been unsealed by the consumer” (paragraph 5).

In France, the legal right of withdrawal of 14 days is therefore void from the moment the ordered product is downloaded.

However, the Services offered on the Site have a “30-day money-back guarantee”. Cette garantie offre à l’utilisateur la possibilité de demander un remboursement sous 30 jours s’il n’est pas satisfait.

Exceptions to the “30-day money-back guarantee”:

  • In the case of payment in instalments, only the first instalment can be repaid.
  • Tablatures are not subject to the “money back guarantee”.
  • The Operator reserves the right to refuse abusive requests for refunds. For example, several purchases followed by a refund request.

To exercise his right of withdrawal, the customer must send an email to victor@lucasgitanofamily.com

The Operator will reimburse the Customer the sums due within fourteen (14) days of receipt of all the elements required to implement the reimbursement of the Customer.

Guaranteed pleasure and results

The Operator is not responsible for the results obtained by the Customer after using its Services. However, a fun and results guarantee is offered in the “Beginning Drumming” course.

This guarantee provides that, after having completed the program in its entirety and under certain conditions, the Client can benefit from additional individual sessions, free of charge (by video or telephone).

In order to benefit, the Customer must prove that he/she has followed the program in its entirety, and that he/she has trained for a minimum of 15 minutes per day, for 3 months from the date of purchase.

Article 12 - Customer service
