Terms and Conditions of Sale (TCS) — Reinforced International Version
1. Scope and Legal Authority
These Terms and Conditions of Sale (« TCS ») apply to any interaction, agreement, or transaction made via AzimutConseil.com, a website published by ADPI Publishing, supported by ADPI Counseling, and operating under the legal framework of ADPI Group (USA).
These TCS supersede all prior or conflicting terms not expressly acknowledged in writing. Any use of the services implies full, unconditional acceptance of these terms, without modification.
2. Nature of Services and Delivery Mode
AzimutConseil.com provides to individuals and entities, whether private or public:
-
Strategic, human, life and philosophical advisory sessions, aimed at personal or professional clarification;
-
Defusing and debriefing sessions following traumatic or critical events (assault, loss, overseas deployments, armed incidents, natural or human-made disasters, etc.).
By default, all sessions are conducted remotely and in writing, via secure platforms and asynchronous communication.
Optionally, and at the exclusive discretion of the Counselor, sessions may be conducted via video, audio call, or in-person, depending on context, availability, and mutual suitability.
The services offered are non-medical, non-therapeutic, non-legal, and non-contractual in outcome. They are offered in a spirit of philosophical reflection, strategic analysis, and personal support only.
3. Binding Acceptance
By requesting or purchasing any service, the client agrees to these TCS fully, consciously, and irrevocably.
The client confirms having received all relevant information prior to engagement and waives any claim of misunderstanding or omission.
4. Fees, Overages, and Payment Terms
a. Individual Clients
Current fees are publicly listed at: https://www.azimutconseil.com/tarifs
Rates are subject to change without notice, unless otherwise specified in a confirmed agreement.
In case of overrun (in time and/or content volume), additional fees apply, based on a reference rate of €140/hour, subject to local conversion rates and cross-border financial conditions.
Cancellations must be made no later than 48 business hours in advance.
Failure to cancel within this timeframe results in the session being considered fully delivered and non-refundable.
Refunds, if any, remain at the sole discretion of the Counselor or Publisher, without obligation of justification.
b. Business and Institutional Clients
Custom quotes apply. Payment is due in full upon acceptance, unless agreed otherwise in writing.
If deferred payment is exceptionally granted:
-
Payment is due within 30 calendar days of invoicing.
-
Late fees of 13.05% per annum shall apply automatically.
-
A minimum recovery surcharge of €300 will be added, plus full reimbursement of actual legal and collection costs incurred.
5. Accepted Payment Methods
Payment may be made via:
-
Credit/debit card (via secure third-party processor)
-
Bank transfer (non-SEPA or FX fees borne by the client)
-
Cash (only for in-person sessions and upon approval)
All transaction costs, currency exchange fees, and intermediary charges are the sole responsibility of the client.
6. Service Disruption and Force Majeure
If a session begins but cannot be completed (technical failure, disconnection, client interruption, etc.), it remains fully billable.
The Counselor shall not be held liable for the failure to perform any obligation due to events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to: illness, outage, war, natural disasters, geopolitical instability, or client’s own incapacity or inappropriate behavior.
Force majeure is construed broadly, in accordance with international commercial principles, not restricted to any single national jurisdiction.
7. Intellectual Property and Confidentiality
All written content, formats, responses, analyses, and session materials produced or shared by the Counselor or its affiliates remain the exclusive intellectual property of the Publisher.
These materials are protected under:
-
The U.S. Copyright Act (Title 17, U.S. Code),
-
The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works,
-
And all applicable international copyright frameworks.
No content may be copied, shared, stored, transmitted, republished, or reproduced—in whole or in part—without prior, written, and specific authorization.
All exchanges are strictly confidential. Any breach of confidentiality will trigger legal consequences.
8. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
Individual Clients
Applicable laws depend on the client’s country of residence, subject to any overriding international obligations.
The client agrees to seek amicable resolution of any issue before pursuing formal proceedings. Where required by law, certified mediation may be proposed.
Professional Clients
Unless otherwise stated, disputes shall be settled by jurisdiction as established under applicable cross-border legal frameworks.
ADPI Group (USA) retains the right to bring suit in any competent court, including but not limited to those of its legal domicile in the United States.
In all cases, parties shall make reasonable efforts to resolve disputes through dialogue before escalation.
9. Binding Amicable Resolution Clause (Unilateral)
The client irrevocably agrees not to initiate any legal or quasi-legal proceedings against the Counselor, the Publisher, or ADPI Group (USA), without first engaging in a structured, certified, and demonstrably good-faith process of amicable resolution.
This clause is binding upon the client only. The Counselor and ADPI Group retain full discretion to bypass this step in case of urgency, reputational threat, procedural abuse, or bad faith.
Any violation of this clause constitutes a material breach of contract and shall expose the client to immediate procedural dismissal, reimbursement of all legal costs incurred, and compensatory penalties to be set at the discretion of the adjudicating authority.
10. Integrated Legal Framework
The present Terms and Conditions shall be construed in conjunction with the legal notices, copyright statements, disclaimers of liability, and all other legal documents published on AzimutConseil.com.
These documents form an integral and indivisible part of the contractual agreement and shall be considered mutually binding and enforceable. Ignorance of any of these components shall not exempt the client from their effect.
11. Final Clause — Legal Trap Provision
These Terms and Conditions are intentionally comprehensive, complex, and multilayered, in order to:
-
Deter frivolous or opportunistic legal action;
-
Preempt any abusive interpretation or contractual hijacking;
-
And bind the client to a structured legal construct, under penalty of breaching consented contractual logic.
Any party attempting to misuse these clauses, manipulate context, or initiate proceedings in bad faith shall be liable for:
-
Breach of contract,
-
Abuse of legal process,
-
And full compensation of all related costs, including attorney fees, damages, and procedural losses.
Effective as of: April 11, 2025
