·      And on the other hand, any legal or natural person, individual or professional, private or public law, hereinafter referred to as the “Customer” or “Buyer”. The Customer refers here to a Consumer, a Non-professional or a professional. Nevertheless, only the Consumer and the Non-professional have the specific rights granted by the consumer law of their state of residence. On the contrary, when the Contracts are concluded on a professional basis, the Customer acknowledges that these rights will not be applicable to him.

The GTC express the entirety of the obligations of the parties. The Customer is deemed to accept them without reservation, failing which his order will not be validated.

The Customer will also have to choose the delivery method (for physical products) and validate the payment method.

The Seller reserves the right to block the Customer’s order in case of non-payment, wrong address or any other problem on the Customer’s account and this, until the problem is resolved. The Seller reserves the right to refuse the order, for example for any abnormal request, made in bad faith or for any legitimate reason.

It can be an order with payment obligation (which means that the placing of the order implies a payment of the Customer) or any other case (service, payment in several times, …).

The Customer makes the payment at the time of the final validation of the order by specifying his credit card number, including for pre-ordered products, or by bank transfer, according to the mode proposed and the mode chosen.

The Customer guarantees to the seller that he has the necessary authorizations to use this method of payment and acknowledges that the information given to this effect is proof of his consent to the sale as well as to the due date of the sums owed under the order, including for payments in installments.

In case of dispute or fraudulent use of the bank card without physical use of the bank card (use of the bank card number), any person may dispute within 70 days from the date of the transaction by sending a claim in the following manner, so that the seller will bear the costs of the sale and return the disputed amount by email to: [email protected]

Any dispute not made in the rules defined above and within the time limits could not be taken into account and will release the seller from any responsibility.

The seller has set up a procedure for verifying orders and means of payment in order to reasonably guarantee against any fraudulent use of a means of payment, including by asking the Customer for identification data.

The Seller is obliged to send an invoice to the Customer upon delivery or upon request of the Customer.

The Customer may request that the invoice be sent to an address other than the delivery address by sending a request to this effect to the Customer Service Department (see contact details below) before delivery.

In case of unavailability of a product, the seller will inform the Customer by e-mail as soon as possible in order to cancel the order of this product and refund the related price, the rest of the order remaining firm and definitive. In case of unavailability of an ordered product, the Customer will be informed by e-mail.

For any question relating to the follow-up of an order, the Customer can contact the Customer service at the following coordinates: By email, at the following address: [email protected]

The payment deadline is the day before the first day of performance or the day the goods are shipped.

In case of late payment, a penalty of 15% of the total amount of the invoice, per month of delay, is due without reminder on the day following the payment deadline.

For any professional, in addition to the late payment penalties, any sum, including the deposit, not paid on its due date will automatically give rise to the payment of a fixed penalty of 40 Swiss francs due for collection costs. However, the indemnity does not apply if the debtor is in the process of safeguard, recovery or judicial liquidation proceedings. This lump sum is added to the late payment penalties, but is not included in the basis for calculating the penalties.

Penalties are payable without the need for a reminder: sending a registered letter is not required to trigger the right to collect late payment penalties.

If the collection costs actually incurred are higher than this lump sum, in particular in the case of recourse to a firm in charge of reminders and formal notices, additional compensation may be requested from the customer upon justification.

As for late payment penalties, the indemnity is due the day after the due date and is not subject to VAT.

The compensation is due in full even in case of partial payment of the invoice on the due date, regardless of the length of the delay (it is not due for each day of delay).

When an installment payment is planned (monthly over a year for example), at the first occurrence of non-payment of the due date (one month late on the payment of the said due date or non-cashable check), the Customer accepts without reserve that his request for installment be rendered null and void and that a collection procedure be immediately initiated against him.

The online provision of the buyer’s credit card number and the final validation of the order are proof of the customer’s agreement, of the payability of the sums due under the purchase order, signature and express acceptance of all operations carried out.

Communications, orders and payments between the Customer and the seller can be proven thanks to computerized registers, kept in the computer systems of the seller in reasonable security conditions. The order forms and invoices are archived on a reliable and durable medium considered, in particular, as a means of proof.

The products remain the property of the Seller until full payment of the price. For services and intangible products, intellectual property and any right to copy are strictly reserved for Michel Wozniak Sàrl. None of these rights will be transferred in any way.

As a general rule, the products offered for sale on the Site are made available to the Customer after full payment and exclusively in digital format.

This link remains valid as long as the subscription is active.

The total refund of the product and delivery costs, or reshipment if applicable, shall then be made. This denunciation of the Contract must be addressed according to the following methods: By email, to the address: [email protected]

Any denunciation not carried out in the rules defined above and within the time limits could not be taken into account and will release the salesman from any responsibility towards the Customer.

If they have been damaged, the buyer must refuse the package and note a reservation on the delivery note. The Customer must indicate on the delivery form, and in handwritten form, any anomaly concerning the delivery.

The verification of the products is considered to have been carried out as soon as the Customer, or a person authorized by him, has signed the delivery note.

If he activates his webcam or sound, the Customer accepts without reservation the transfer of his image rights for an indefinite period to Michel Wozniak Sàrl for the above-mentioned use.

This service is a complementary service offered by Michel Wozniak Sàrl according to the needs and availability of Michel Wozniak.

The purpose of the forums on optimistra.com and its satellite sites is to motivate and help all Customers. The positive and energizing attitude is the basis of such a community. The seller reserves the right to cut off access to the community to anyone who violates this rule. This removal will not be grounds for a refund in any way.

The Client acknowledges that the Vendor offers individual or group coaching sessions, using the coaching approaches commonly used in Switzerland, as well as FasterEFT (Eutaptics) and NLP (NLP). These approaches are not therapies and should not be considered as such by the Client. The Customer recognizes the obligation of means of the salesman, and not the obligation of result, the result being fully conditioned by the personal investment of the customer. No claim as to the result can be submitted to the seller. The objective of Michel Wozniak Sàrl is to democratize NLP and strategic thinking.

The Customer acknowledges and fully understands that the Vendor is not a physician, psychologist or psychotherapist. The Customer acknowledges that he/she is not seeking a diagnosis, treatment or medical therapeutic procedure. The Customer acknowledges that any current medical treatment must be scrupulously followed. The Customer acknowledges that he/she alone is responsible for the use of the techniques seen during the session, and thus unconditionally releases the vendor from any liability. The Customer accepts without reservation that any appointment not cancelled at least 48 hours in advance remains fully due.

The right of revocation does not exist in the case of a Distance Selling Contract for the delivery of digital data or computer software if the delivery is made by means of a download and for the delivery of validation codes for digital data, software or digital services if the visual protection of the validation code was removed after delivery or if the validation code was transmitted by download or e-mail.

For intangible products, the Customer expressly and unconditionally waives his legal right of revocation of 14 days and authorizes the execution of the Contract immediately after the sale.

On the other hand, the seller offers an exceptional revocation period of 1 month for its online training products and online workshops, on the express condition that the total duration of the videos that the customer has accessed, even partially, does not exceed 10% of the total time of the videos of said online training or said online workshop. Beyond that, this exceptional withdrawal period will be considered null and void and no further withdrawal will be possible.

The Consumer or Non-Professional Customer may exercise this right via a letter of revocation for physical goods, via an email clearly expressing his or her desire to withdraw to [email protected].

Michel Wozniak Sàrl will acknowledge receipt of the exercise of the right of revocation, by sending an email to the address indicated by the Customer. Michel Wozniak Sàrl undertakes to refund the price corresponding to the products or services in credit, unless the Customer expressly objects to this method of reimbursement at the time of exercising his right of withdrawal.  The refund will be made within a maximum of 30 calendar days after Michel Wozniak Sàrl became aware of the Customer’s desire to withdraw.

The seller is responsible for the conformity of the products to the Contract. The Customer is informed that the Seller is not the producer of all the products presented.

The Customer has a period of 2 years from the delivery of the product to implement the legal guarantee of conformity.

As such, he can choose between repair or replacement of the good.

The Customer is not required to prove the existence of a defect in conformity within 6 months of the date of delivery of the product.

The seller offers the Customer a commercial guarantee covering the conformity of the products and ensuring, in case of non-conformity, the reimbursement of the purchase price, the replacement or the repair of the product, for the following duration: 6 months.

This warranty does not cover defects caused by abnormal or faulty use or resulting from a cause unrelated to the intrinsic qualities of the products.

As a general rule, refunds of seminar registrations are available only in the following two cases:

·      Cancellation is requested more than 7 days before the beginning of the training, in this case, the refund will be granted, except for a fixed amount of 20% of the total amount which will not be refunded.

·      Cancellation is requested 7 days or less before the beginning of the training, in this case, the refund will not be granted, except in cases of force majeure described below (no-show).

·      In case of no-show, the Customer will not be able to ask for a refund, unless he/she can prove a case of force majeure (judged as such with the help of a hospitalization certificate). In this case, the refund will take the form of a credit note for the full amount, valid for 12 months.

In the case of dismissal for disciplinary reasons, no refund will be given, regardless of the length of training already completed.

In the event that the client chooses to stop participating (either voluntarily or by dismissal), he/she will return (prior to departure) his/her badge, any material goods and any documentation received during the seminar.

Some special offers are proposed by the Seller (explicitly indicated as “NON-REFUNDABLE”), in which if the customer accepts that his order of training/service is unconditionally non-refundable (but transferable to any other training/service in case of impossibility of participation), the Seller grants in exchange an exceptional discount. In this case, the Customer will not be able to request a refund in any way, but will be able to participate in another training course at the same price. If the new course is more expensive than the one purchased, the customer will pay the difference at the time of the new order. If the new course is less expensive than the one purchased, the remaining credit may be used by the customer to purchase another service from the Vendor.

In some particular cases, Michel Wozniak Sàrl offers a satisfaction guarantee for some Products or services. This guarantee is indicated on the page of the Site presenting the Product or the service concerned. When such a satisfaction guarantee is indicated, the Customer may contact Michel Wozniak Sàrl at [email protected] to request a refund.

Personal accompaniments are expressly excluded from the satisfaction guarantee.

Changes to seminar registration are only possible in the following cases:

·      the customer requests to postpone the seminar registration to a later date due to the impossibility of attending the seminar on the originally agreed dates, at least eight weeks before the seminar starts. Only one postponement per seminar is possible and registrations with a discount voucher cannot be postponed.

·      the customer requests to transfer the registration to another person. Changes to registrations will incur an administration fee of CHF 50 if the request is made more than six weeks before the start of the seminar, and CHF 100 if the request is made less than six weeks before the start of the seminar. No changes can be made less than two weeks before the start of the seminar.

The Customer who orders products and services offered in the form of a monthly subscription for an indefinite period of time, may at any time terminate this subscription by giving one month’s notice by sending an e-mail to the address [email protected].

The possibility of terminating the Contract during its execution does not apply to other products and services payable in installments.

Since books and e-books can be retrieved in one go, accessing the page allowing the download of the file(s) in question renders the guarantee period and the possibility of a refund null and void.

The Customer has the right to question, access, modify, oppose and rectify his personal data.

By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, the Customer agrees that Michel Wozniak Sàrl may collect and use such data for the performance of this Agreement.

Michel Wozniak Sàrl reserves the right to suspend or terminate the account of a Customer who would violate the provisions of the GTC, or in general to the applicable legal provisions, without prejudice to any damages that Michel Wozniak Sàrl could seek. Any person whose account has been suspended or closed will not be able to order subsequently or create a new account on the Site, without the prior authorization of Michel Wozniak Sàrl.

Michel Wozniak Sàrl correspondence address is [email protected]

The computerized records of Michel Wozniak Sàrl, kept in reasonable conditions of security, will be considered by the parties as valid evidence of communications, orders, payments and transactions between the parties.

The filing of the purchase orders, the confirmations of the orders and the invoices is carried out on a faithful and durable support so as to correspond to a reliable copy.

The Customer will have access to the archived elements concerning him on simple request to [email protected].

In general, the Customer and Michel Wozniak Sàrl expressly agree to the possibility of exchanging information via email.

The GTC may be amended by Michel Wozniak Sàrl at any time to incorporate, among other things, on the one hand, any change in law or jurisprudence applicable to electronic commerce and, on the other hand, any technical or technological developments improving the Site. If any of the provisions of these GTC were to be invalidated, it will be deemed unwritten but will not result in the invalidity of all contractual provisions.

The Customer will be informed of the nature of these modifications as soon as they are put online by e-mail or directly on the site.  The applicable GTCU are then those in force at the date of payment (or first payment in case of multiple payments).

Any tolerance or waiver by one of the Parties, in the application of all or part of the commitments made within the framework of these GTC, regardless of their frequency and duration, shall not constitute a modification of the GTC, nor generate any right whatsoever.

When the product or service explicitly states it, any person registered as an Affiliate and bringing new Customers to Michel Wozniak Sàrl (exclusively using its affiliate URL links) is entitled to receive a commission (generally 30% on online Content and 10% on face-to-face Content, defined on the affiliate space) on the first purchase made by each of these new Customers. Commissions are made available when two conditions are met: the service in question (workshop, training) is completed for the Customer, and the Customer’s payment is fully collected by Michel Wozniak Sàrl.

Persons who sign up for the Affiliate Program (such persons shall be referred to as “Affiliates”) agree to honestly and truthfully promote the products offered. The affiliate agrees without reservation to assume all responsibility for its promotional communication. Michel Wozniak Sàrl disclaims any responsibility for false or misleading communications made by affiliates. In case of proven misconduct, the affiliate agrees to assume its fault, and also to return to the seller the amount of affiliate commissions received during the 365 days preceding the fault in question.

These GTC are subject to Swiss law. If the Customer is a Consumer or Non-professional, the application of Swiss law is without prejudice to the application of the mandatory consumer law provisions of the country in which the Consumer or Non-professional is domiciled.

In the event of a dispute, the Consumer or Non-professional Customer may opt for conventional mediation or any other alternative dispute resolution method, or apply to the competent courts of his State of residence. If the Customer is a professional, the exclusive jurisdiction is expressly attributed to the courts of Sion.

In the case of foreign language events interpreted by Michel Wozniak (e.g. NLP trainings given by Richard Bandler, John La Valle and Kathleen La Valle), Michel Wozniak is not responsible for these trainings. Michel Wozniak only re-invoices the external trainer. The after-sales service is therefore that of the external trainer, and not that of Michel Wozniak. The customer is thus subject to the rules, GTC, contracts and licenses of the external organization in priority to the rules, GTC, contracts and licenses of Michel Wozniak.

If Michel Wozniak cannot provide the service for internal reasons, Michel Wozniak reserves the right to substitute it, at its sole discretion. No claims will be accepted. Michel Wozniak is committed to providing an equivalent level of translation quality.

The client accepts that the choice of the interpreter is not made on the basis of professional training in the field of interpreting, because the interpreting of themes such as NLP (NLP) is not learned in school. No claims can be made about the qualifications of the interpreter selected by Michel Wozniak.

The translation of training manuals and other written materials is not part of the mission of Michel Wozniak Sàrl, nor are the additional activities offered during or outside the training. Only the course, the practical work and exercises are subject to interpretation.

When equipment is provided to the client for listening to the translation (receivers, headphones, etc.), the client undertakes to take the utmost care of it, and must return it in perfect working order, in the same condition as when he received it. In case of damage to the equipment, the client will have to pay the sum of 100 CHF (Swiss francs) in compensation.

In the case of training given or organized by Michel Wozniak Sàrl, if the trainer initially announced cannot provide the service for internal reasons, Michel Wozniak Sàrl reserves the right to substitute the trainer, at its sole discretion. No claim will be accepted. Michel Wozniak Sàrl is committed to providing a level of quality equivalent to the original speaker.

When a trainer is announced as the only speaker, he can nevertheless be assisted by other trainers approved by Michel Wozniak Sàrl (who will be able to lead one or more modules), but it is the announced trainer who will have the global management of the training cycle.

Whether it is in the case of trainings given by Michel Wozniak Sàrl (NLP, Buzan, …), or given by a third party organization (SNLP, PureNLP, …), if the training in question is subject to a license agreement (such as the NLP trainings of Richard Bandler, SNLP, PureNLP, Buzan), it is up to the customer to inquire about the terms and conditions of the license agreement in question, by contacting directly the organization delivering the training. This is especially important for people who have already taken a training course (from a third party) in a field similar to the one taught by the organization delivering the training. No complaint can be received if the client fails to inquire about the compatibility of the license in question with his/her own personal and/or professional situation.

Some courses are sold in packs (the keyword Pack appears on the invoice). These packs offer a set of courses purchased together.

The customer acknowledges that the purchase of the pack commits him to the full payment of the invoice amount.

The purchase of a training package allows the customer to choose the date of participation in each training of the package. Withdrawal from a given training course will only be possible up to 10 days before the start of the course.

Whether the payment is made in one or more installments, the packs are non-refundable, but transferable. In the case of a transfer, the amounts consumed will correspond to the catalog rate of the training already consumed on the day of the transfer. The remainder will be available to the customer for other training courses at the catalog rate.

In the case of payment in installments, the minimum amount that must be paid 10 days before the beginning of a chosen session corresponds to the sum of the catalog fees of all the training courses already taken plus the catalog fee of the training course about to be taken.

The packs have a time limit ( two years) during which the customer can participate to the trainings listed in the pack (respecting the prerequisites). After this period, unless written waiver signed by Michel Wozniak Sàrl, the residual amount will be considered lost for the customer and he will be obliged to pay within 1 month after the expiration of two years.

In the case of certification training provided by Michel Wozniak Sàrl or by a third party trainer, the certificate is NOT guaranteed by the fact of registration to the training. The client will be evaluated on the basis of objective and subjective criteria such as knowledge of the subject, understanding of the subject, integration of the subject and its philosophy, attitude, behavior, among others. The evaluation is left to the discretion of Michel Wozniak Sàrl, or the third party trainer conducting the training. In case of not obtaining the certificate, the customer will be given some work tracks to be able to follow the training again (at his own expense). Quality being the keyword of Michel Wozniak Sàrl, no complaint will be taken into account regarding the evaluation criteria.

Apart from the training fees, all additional costs (transportation to the training location, accommodation, food, …) are fully charged to the client. No claim for compensation can be made for any of these costs (whether in the event of cancellation of the training by the organizer, cancellation of participation by the participant, postponement of the training, change of date of the training, voluntary departure from the training, …). These costs are entirely the responsibility of the client. The client may, if he wishes, take out insurance to cover this risk at his own expense.

In the case of training courses subject to a registration file (NLP Practitioner (NLP), NLP Master Practitioner (NLP), NLP Coach (NLP), Interpretation of Richard Bandler’s training, …), the registration is really considered validated after receipt by Michel Wozniak Sàrl of the registration file AND validation of it. The validation will be notified to the customer by email. The customer agrees not to make ANY expenditure (purchase of airfare or transportation, room reservation, …) before receiving the notification of validation of the application file (usually within a few days). No compensation can be claimed to Michel Wozniak Sàrl in case of non-validation of the registration. In case of non-validation, the amounts already collected by the seller will be fully refunded. The seller can not be held responsible for any bank charges levied by the customer’s bank on the amount paid by the customer.

The criteria for validation of the registration are both objective and subjective. They are related to the customer’s background, the nature of his answers in the registration file, and other elements of appreciation left to the sole discretion of Michel Wozniak Sàrl. No complaint can be received regarding these criteria. Michel Wozniak Sàrl is committed to not use any criteria in violation of human and women’s rights (no criteria of race, gender, appearance, political or religious choices, …). Michel Wozniak Sàrl will not have to justify its decision.

Any lie or attempt to conceal information deemed important by Michel Wozniak Sàrl in the registration file will be automatically sanctioned by a dismissal of the training, and no refund of the sums already received can be requested by the customer.

The Vendor offers group training and activities. In these trainings and activities, Seller is responsible for ensuring a satisfactory experience for each participant. For this reason, Seller reserves the right to refuse registration to any person who may be disruptive to the group, and such behavior is implicitly grounds for dismissal, based on the criteria set forth above. Each participant has paid for their place and deserves to have the best experience, and it will not be tolerated that any individual disrupts the group experience. No claims will be entertained by the Vendor.
