In case of dispute relating to the formation, interpretation, execution or termination of these GTCU, the parties undertake to respect the following dispute resolution procedure, in imperative chronological order:
Direct amicable settlement (article 22.2 of these GTCU)
Consumer mediation (article 22.3 of these GTCU)
Judicial recourse (article 22.4 of these GTCU)
No step may be omitted, except by written agreement of both parties.
22.2 - Direct amicable settlement procedure
Before any other action, the User or Client undertakes to contact the Company by email at the following address: contact@letiquete.fr.
The User or Client will explain the dispute in detail, attaching all useful supporting documents.
The Company undertakes to respond within a maximum period of 7 (seven) working days in order to propose an amicable solution.
The parties then have 30 (thirty) calendar days to reach an agreement, a period extendable by mutual written agreement.
A report of amicable settlement or disagreement will be established at the end of this phase.
22.3 - Mediation procedure
22.3.1 - Recourse to mediation
In case of failure of the direct amicable settlement procedure, and in accordance with articles L612-1, L616-1 and R.616-1 of the Consumer Code, the User or Individual Client may refer the matter free of charge to the following consumer mediator:
Name: MÉDIATION CONSOMMATION DÉVELOPPEMENT (MED CONSO DEV)
Website: http://medconsodev.eu/
Postal address: Centre d’Affaires Stéphanois SAS – Immeuble L’horizon – Esplanade de France – 3, rue J. Constant Milleret – 42000 Saint-Étienne
22.3.2 - Prerequisites for recourse to mediation
Before referring the matter to the mediator, the Client must obligatorily:
Have attempted to resolve the dispute directly with the Company through a written complaint sent by email to the following address: contact@letiquete.fr, or by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt to the following address: 13 rue de la Garenne 34230 Saint Pons de Mauchiens
Have waited a minimum period of 30 (thirty) calendar days from sending this written complaint without satisfactory response from the Company
Refer the matter to the mediator within a maximum period of one year from their written complaint addressed to the Company
Ensure that the dispute is not manifestly unfounded or abusive
Verify that the dispute is not being examined by another mediator or a court
Premature referral to the mediator, without respect for these prerequisites, may result in the inadmissibility of the mediation request.
22.3.3 - Conduct of mediation
Mediation is a structured, voluntary and confidential process of amicable dispute resolution, during which an impartial third party, the mediator, facilitates communication between the parties to help them find a satisfactory solution.
To initiate a mediation procedure, the Client must formulate their request to the mediator, by postal or electronic means, providing all documents necessary for the examination of their request, particularly:
A copy of the prior complaint addressed to the Company
Any element relating to the service provision concerned (invoices, contract, correspondence)
A clear and chronological exposition of the dispute
The mediator examines the admissibility of the request, then proposes a solution within 90 (ninety) days from receipt of the complete file.
This proposal is neither binding on the parties nor subject to appeal.
22.3.4 - Outcome of mediation
If the parties reach an agreement, it may be formalized in writing and signed by them. This agreement then has contractual value.
Participation in the mediation procedure does not exclude the possibility of subsequently referring the matter to the competent jurisdiction if mediation does not result in an agreement.
22.3.5 - Mediation for professionals
For disputes between the Company and Professional Clients, the parties may, by mutual agreement, designate a mediator specialized in commercial disputes, and share mediation costs equally.

The Client is invited to consult the updated list of approved mediators on the CECMC website accessible via the portal www.economie.gouv.fr/mediation-conso/liste-des-mediateurs-references.
22.4 - Jurisdictional competence
Only after exhaustion of amicable settlement and mediation procedures, any unresolved dispute will be submitted to the exclusive competence of the competent Court of the city of Béziers (34 - Hérault).
This competence also applies in case of interim proceedings, plurality of defendants or warranty claims.
Direct recourse to courts without prior passage through the stages of amicable settlement and mediation exposes the initiating party to dismissal, except in case of proven urgency requiring a conservatory measure.
22.5 - Encouragement of amicable dispute settlement
The Company and the Client recognize the importance of maintaining a constructive relationship and mutually undertake to favor amicable settlement for any disagreement that may arise within the framework of their contractual relations.
Before any formal procedure, the Parties undertake to:
Clearly identify the problem and its origin
Openly communicate their concerns and expectations
Explore together solutions satisfactory to both parties
Record in writing the solutions retained
This direct amicable resolution process constitutes a mandatory and decisive preliminary step before any other dispute settlement approach.
22.6 - Arbitration option for Professional Clients
For any dispute arising between the Company and a Professional Client relating to the interpretation, execution or termination of these GTCU, the parties may, by mutual agreement, choose to resort to arbitration as an alternative mode of dispute resolution, after having exhausted the amicable settlement and mediation procedures provided for in articles 22.2 and 22.3 of these GTCU.
22.6.1 - Optional nature of arbitration
Recourse to arbitration constitutes an option that the parties may freely choose in writing after the birth of the disagreement.
This choice must be formalized by an explicit agreement signed by both parties.
In the absence of such an agreement, disputes will be submitted to the exclusive competence of the competent Court of the city of Béziers (34 - Hérault), in accordance with article 22.4 of these GTCU.
22.6.2 - Arbitral tribunal
In case of agreement on recourse to arbitration, the dispute will be submitted to a sole arbitrator, designated by mutual agreement of the parties within 15 (fifteen) days following the signature of the arbitration agreement.
In the absence of agreement on this designation, the arbitrator will be appointed by the President of the Commercial Court of Béziers at the request of the most diligent party.
22.6.3 - Rules applicable to arbitration procedure
The arbitration will be subject to the following rules:
The arbitrator will rule in French law and as final resort
The procedure will be conducted in French
The seat of arbitration will be fixed in Béziers (34500)
The arbitrator will not be required to follow the procedural rules applicable before the courts, but must respect the principle of adversarial proceedings
The arbitrator will have a period of 3 (three) months from their referral to render their award
The arbitral award will be final, enforceable and without appeal, except for annulment proceedings in cases limitatively provided by law
22.6.4 - Costs of arbitration
Arbitration costs, including the arbitrator's fees and administrative costs, will be advanced equally by the parties.
The arbitral award may provide for a different distribution of these costs depending on the outcome of the dispute.
22.6.5 - Execution of the award
The parties undertake to execute the arbitral award in good faith and within the deadlines set by the arbitrator.
In the absence of spontaneous execution, the most diligent party may refer the matter to the competent court to obtain the exequatur of the award.
22.6.6 - Provisional and conservatory measures
Notwithstanding any arbitration agreement, the parties retain the right to refer the matter to the competent jurisdiction for any urgent, provisional or conservatory measure that would be necessary for the safeguarding of their rights before or during the arbitration procedure.
22.7 - Collaborative approach in case of dispute
In a spirit of transparency and search for mutually beneficial solutions, the Company also proposes:
The organization of conciliation meetings by videoconference or in person
The establishment of a corrective action plan with joint monitoring
These complementary measures aim to preserve the relationship with the Client while effectively resolving the disagreement.
22.8 - Protection against abusive procedures
22.8.1 - Definition of an abusive procedure
In the interest of balanced relations and good faith between the parties, any legal action or contentious procedure that would present one of the following characteristics is considered unfounded:
Action manifestly lacking legal or factual foundation after objective examination of the case elements
Action introduced without prior attempt at amicable resolution in accordance with article 22.2 of these GTCU, when such an approach was manifestly possible
Action containing deliberately inaccurate allegations or manifestly altered evidence
Repeated action despite previous decisions having already settled the dispute on the same basis
This qualification cannot apply to an action introduced in good faith by the Client, even if it is finally rejected on the merits.
Only a court is authorized to qualify a procedure as unfounded.
22.8.2 - Sanctions for abusive procedures
In case of judicial procedure initiated by the Client that would be qualified as abusive by the competent jurisdiction, the Company may, without prejudice to any other recourse, request:
The allocation of damages in reparation for the harm suffered, particularly moral and commercial
The full reimbursement of defense costs incurred (lawyer fees, expert fees, etc.)
A flat-rate indemnity of 1000 (one thousand) euros for time devoted and inconvenience suffered
The Company also reserves the right to ask the court to pronounce a civil fine for abusive procedure in accordance with article 32-1 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
22.8.3 - Principle of proportionality
The application of this clause is subject to the principle of proportionality.
Thus, a legal action introduced in good faith by the Client will not be considered abusive, even if it is finally rejected on the merits.
The qualification of abusive procedure and the determination of possible sanctions fall under the sovereign assessment of the jurisdiction seized.
22.8.4 - Prior information
By accepting these GTCU, the Client acknowledges having been expressly informed of the potential consequences of an abusive judicial procedure against the Company and accepts the application of this clause.
This clause constitutes a particular application of article 1104 of the Civil Code which requires parties to act in good faith both in the formation and execution of the contract.
23 - MODIFICATION OF GTCU
These GTCU may be modified at any time by the Company.
The new GTCU will be applicable from their publication on the Site, as of the update date mentioned in the introduction of these GTCU.
