The Provider reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a Client with whom there exists a dispute relating to the payment of a previous order.
The Client may follow the progress of their order on the site.
Placing an order on the site https://www.sweego.io/ implies the conclusion of a contract with a minimum duration of 1 month or 1 year renewable for the same duration by tacit reconduction.
Under the terms of article L 215 -1 of the Consumer Code, reproduced below:
“For contracts for the provision of services concluded for a fixed term with a tacit renewal clause, the professional service provider informs the consumer in writing, by nominative letter or dedicated email, at the earliest three months and at the latest one month before the end of the period authorizing the rejection of the renewal, of the possibility of not renewing the contract that he has concluded with a tacit renewal clause. This information, delivered in clear and comprehensible terms, mentions, in an apparent box, the deadline for non-renewal.
When this information has not been sent to him in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph, the consumer may terminate the contract free of charge, at any time from the date of renewal.
Advances made after the last date of renewal or, in the case of open-ended contracts, after the date of transformation of the initial fixed-term contract, are in this case reimbursed within thirty days from the date of termination of the contract, minus the sums corresponding, up to that date, to the execution of the contract. The provisions of this article apply without prejudice to those that legally subject certain contracts to special rules regarding the information of the consumer.”
Article L215-2 of the Consumer Code excludes the application of Article L215-1 to operators of drinking water and sanitation services,
while Article L215-3 of the Consumer Code provides that these rules are applicable to contracts concluded between professionals and non-professionals.
Article L241-3 of the Code of consumption sanctions the professional who did not proceed with the reimbursements under the conditions provided for in Article L 215-1 of the Code of consumption.”
The Client declares to have full legal capacity allowing them to commit under these General Conditions.
Registration is open to capable adults only. In no case is registration authorized for the account of third parties unless validly authorized to represent them (such as a legal entity). Registration is strictly personal to each Client.

ARTICLE 5 – PROVISION OF SERVICES
The Services ordered by the Client will be provided according to the following terms:
The Client expressly acknowledges that any order made on the Site is an order with an obligation of payment, which necessitates the payment of a price in exchange for the provision of the ordered Service.
The Client is informed that the provision of the Service cannot be carried out before the perfect receipt of the sums due by the Client.
The Operator uses the online payment solution Hyperline.co (Meterly SAS company) and Mollie (Mollie B.V. company) as a payment partner.
Payment by credit card or SEPA direct debit is made directly on the secure servers of the Operator’s bank, and the Client’s banking details do not transit through the Site. The banking details provided during payment are protected by SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption process. This way, these details are not accessible to third parties.
The Client’s order is recorded and validated as soon as the payment is accepted by the bank.
The Client’s account will be charged the corresponding amount only when (i) the data of the used credit card have been verified and (ii) the charge has been accepted by the bank that issued the credit card.
The impossibility to charge the due amounts will immediately nullify the sale.
The credit card may be refused if it has expired, reached the maximum spending limit allowed to the Client, or if the entered data are incorrect.
Any fees associated with the rejection of a direct debit will be recharged to the Client.
The aforementioned Services will be provided within a maximum period of 1 hour from the definitive validation of the Client’s order, under the conditions provided in these GTC at the address indicated by the Client during their order on the site https://www.sweego.io/.
The Provider commits to make its best efforts to provide the Services ordered by the Client, within the framework of an obligation of means and within the above-mentioned deadlines.
If the Services ordered have not been provided within 1 hour after the indicative date of provision, for any reason other than force majeure or the Client’s actions, the sale of the Services may be resolved at the written request of the Client under the conditions provided for in articles L 216-2, L 216-3 and L241-4 of the Consumer Code. The sums paid by the Client will then be refunded no later than fourteen days following the date the contract was denounced, excluding any compensation or deductions.
In case of a special request by the Client regarding the conditions of provision of the Services, duly accepted in writing by the Provider, the associated costs will be subject to a subsequent specific additional invoicing.
If no reservations or claims are expressly made by the Client upon receipt of the Services, they will be deemed to comply with the order, in quantity and quality.
The Client has a period of 14 days from the provision of the Services to submit claims by email via the address support@sweego.io, with all the relevant supporting documents, to the Provider.
No claim will be validly accepted in case of non-compliance with these formalities and deadlines by the Client.
The Provider will refund or rectify as soon as possible and at its own expense the Services whose lack of conformity has been duly proven by the Client.
