Article 3. Registration

3.1. Any registration for a training organized by PCA is to be done through the registration form made available on the website www.physicalcoaching.com. By filling in the registration form the customer confirms having read and accepted the PCA terms and conditions. The sale is only final after confirmation of acceptance of the registration by PCA to the customer by e-mail at the address submitted by the customer upon registration. PCA reserves the right to refuse registration in the event of a pre-existing dispute with the customer.

3.2. The calendars of the trainings proposed and organized by PCA are indicative, PCA reserves the right to modify the calendars if circumstances require to do so. In that case, PCA will inform the customer by e-mail of any change at least 48 hours prior to the start of the training chosen by the customer.

3.3. Any registration is final and unconditional. The registration fee is to be paid in full by the customer and no partial reimbursement will be granted, except for the right of retraction mentioned in article 5.

Article 4. Price and payment

4.1. The rates mentioned on the website www.physicalcoaching.com include all taxes and contain the registration fee, the price matches the offered services and administrative costs. Any possible mistake regarding price is only binding for PCA if registration has been confirmed by e-mail to the customer. PCA reserves the right to modify prices as long as the sale is not final. Prices mentioned on the registration confirmation by PCA are final and include VAT.

4.2. The final price is payable, at the customer's discretion, either in full or through four monthly installments, using one of the payment methods provided by PCA on its website during registration. When the customer opts for full payment, they have the following two options:
- They may choose to pay the registration fee through a bank transfer. In such a case, the amounts due following registration must be fully transferred to the bank account specified by PCA during registration, within 48 hours after placing the order. Failure to make payment within this timeframe gives PCA the right to cancel the customer's registration and, consequently, deny access to the training.
- Alternatively, they may choose to make payment through the secure banking payment system offered on PCA's website. The order becomes final only upon approval of the payment by the banking payment system. If the banking system rejects the payment, the order is automatically canceled, and the customer is notified via email.
When the customer opts for the four-installment payment plan, allowing for payment flexibility, the online payment solution provided on PCA's website divides the amounts due by four and rounds them to whole numbers. As a result, the first installment may be slightly higher than the subsequent three. The customer then has the option to make payments using a credit card or debit card.
In both cases, the first installment is immediately processed, while the remaining three are deducted individually in the month following the order. They are automatically withdrawn by the payment organization at one-month intervals. The withdrawal dates provided by the payment system are approximate and are based on the calendar date of the order placed by the customer; hence, they may vary slightly.
These payment arrangements do not exempt the customer from the obligation to settle the total amount of the training fee on the date of their order on PCA's website.

4.3. Any amount unpaid on the due date will be increased by law, and without prior notice, with a default interest of 1% per month, as well as a lump-sum compensation of 15% of the invoice amount, with a minimum of € 150.
