2. Duration and termination of the contract

The agreement is concluded by applying for services offered by Dominique Andersen, by purchasing services or products through any our websites or by paying an invoice through bank (or other financial institutions) transfer.
Both party can terminate the contract with immediate effect.
Most of the services offered by Dominique Andersen are bespoke: they are specifically created for the client before their delivery. Therefore, in the case of a termination initiated by the client no refund will be processed and all payments will remain due unless another arrangement is agreed upon by both parties and confirmed in writing by Dominique Andersen.
Dominique Andersen may terminate the agreement following the client default of payment, if the client proves to be unable mentally, physically, psychologically or emotionally to deal with the demands of the program, or under any other circumstance resulting of force majeure.

Additionally, legal interest rate may be applied if any balance remains due. The client also agrees to indemnify Dominique Andersen as specified in section 18.

Certain services include access to online resources such as private content websites or a private client area. The terms for continued access to these online resources after termination of this agreement are defined individually for each program.
