5.2. For certain Courses, payment of the participation fee may be made in installments, in accordance with the methods and deadlines provided for in each case. In this case, it is understood that if the Beneficiary or the Ordering Party fail to make even one of the payments within the set deadlines, the Application Form shall be considered definitively forfeited and, therefore, LegisLAB Academy shall be free to accept Applications for Enrollment from other participants up to the maximum number of places for the Course, without the aforementioned Beneficiary or Ordering Party being able to oppose and/or object.

Art. 7 - Discounts, early bird, promotions, scholarships. Discounts for partner companies. Lower amount paid
7.1. LegisLAB Academy may provide, when promoting the Course and otherwise, certain discounts, promotions, early bird, scholarships for certain categories of Beneficiaries. In addition, certain Courses, certain categories of Beneficiaries or Ordering Parties, where provided for by the regulations in force, may also have access to special facilities, such as refunds of part or all of the registration fee by third parties. In these cases, LegisLAB Academy is not responsible either for the procedure prior to any reimbursement (which remains to be completed at the sole care, expense and responsibility of the Beneficiaries or the Ordering Party) or for the reimbursement itself.
7.2. Some courses may also include a discount dedicated to certain LegisLAB Academy partner companies. This is the case, purely by way of example, of the discount dedicated to the members of the Associazione Italiana Agenti Calciatori e Società (also "A.I.A.C.S." or "Association") for a specific course on sports agents (hereinafter, the "Agents Course"). In this case, at the time of enrollment in the Agents' Course, and of the relevant payment, it is the responsibility of the Enroller or the Principal to proceed to the payment of the fee due by virtue of his/her membership or non-membership of A.I.A.C.S. LegisLAB Academy will check directly with A.I.A.C.S. the actual enrollment of the Beneficiary in the Association and reserves the right to ask the Beneficiary or the Customer - and, if necessary, to recover the difference in the amount due, in the event that the Beneficiary or the Customer has paid a lower amount.
7.3. The Parties agree that, except as expressly provided or by express concession of LegisLAB Academy, discounts, promotions, early birds, etc., cannot be combined with each other and are not, therefore, cumulative.
Art. 8 - Control of attendance
8.1.

For certain Courses, this fulfillment is necessary in order to communicate to given institutions (e.g. the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio) the list of those who, having effectively participated in the Agent Course, have complied with the relevant training obligation.
Art. 9 - Obligations of Conduct of the Beneficiary, Express Termination Clause and Withdrawal. Individual Participation
9.1. Registration and participation in the Course are individual and non-transferable to third parties. The Participant therefore undertakes not to assign, lend, provide, share with third parties his access credentials, links for participation in telematic events or any Content.
9.2. The Student undertakes the obligation to maintain a correct and appropriate behaviour during the lessons of the Courses, recreational breaks and related operations (registration, entry and exit from the classrooms, etc.), as well as in all possible interactions, also by telematic means, with other students and teachers. By way of example only, with reference to participation in the Courses, the Student expressly undertakes not to engage in the following activities and/or behaviour (i) use of offensive, vulgar, defamatory, blasphemous, racist language in interactions with other students and/or teachers; (ii) reporting and/or dissemination of links to websites where illicit activities are carried out; (iii) spamming activities and/or any type of undesired interaction with other students and/or teachers; (iv) transmission of viruses and/or other computer tools that may compromise the integrity and/or security of computer equipment (cc.malware, Trojan horses, etc.); (v) publication of any and/or all textual and/or audiovisual content in breach of the law and/or of the intellectual and/or industrial property rights of third parties, or reporting and/or dissemination of links to websites containing textual and/or audiovisual content in breach of the law and/or of the intellectual and/or industrial property rights of third parties.
9.3. LegisLAB Academy reserves the right to expel from its courses and to preclude further attendance of the lessons, as well as to prohibit access to the Website, with immediate effect, to any participant who engages in behaviour that is seriously improper or that disrupts the normal running of the Courses or that causes damage, financial and/or non-financial, to LegisLAB Academy's and/or third parties' property or to any individual with whom they may come into contact in the course of the Courses or that constitutes a breach of the obligations of conduct set out in Article 9.2 above. The expulsion measure shall be communicated in writing by registered letter with return receipt to the address (including e-mail) indicated at the time of enrollment and is unquestionable. It is, however, at the discretion of the Participant to present his reasons in writing and request a review of the measure.
9.4. It is understood between the Parties that the expulsion measure referred to in Article 6.3 constitutes just cause for the termination of this Contract (Article 1456 of the Civil Code). This is without prejudice to LegisLAB Academy's right to claim, including through the courts, compensation for damages, both pecuniary and non-pecuniary, caused by the User, directly and/or indirectly, to LegisLAB Academy and/or third parties.
9.5. In the case referred to in Article 6.3 above, LegisLAB Academy shall certify the hours worked and shall only reimburse the Beneficiary or the Principal for the fees paid which exceed, in proportion, the hours of teaching activity actually carried out, without any surcharge and excluding any and all rights to further reimbursement or compensation and/or damages of any kind or kind whatsoever.
9.6. LegisLAB Academy reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the contract in accordance with Article 1456 of the Civil Code, without prejudice to compensation for further damage, in the event of failure to pay on time even one of the installments provided for participation in the Course.
9.7. The Beneficiary undertakes personally to keep - and to ensure that the Customer in accordance with Art. 1381 of the Italian Civil Code keeps - the authentication credentials with diligence, which constitute confidential data for which the Beneficiary is solely and exclusively responsible, also with regard to the activities carried out through their use.
9.8. LegisLAB Academy reserves the right to verify whether the conduct of the User is compatible with the exclusive use of the Course and, therefore, whether the User is participating in the Course (or, in the case of an on-demand course, is attending it ex post) on an exclusive basis and is therefore not sharing the link, the account and in general the exclusive right to participate in the Course with third parties. In such a case, LegisLAB Academy reserves the right to suspend or revoke the right to attend the Course of the offending user, without the latter having any claim to reimbursement or compensation. The User shall also be liable for any unlawful use of the Course made, for any reason whatsoever, by the Principal.
9.9. Photographs may be taken during the event, but video filming/recording of the content to be displayed during the lectures is not permitted, with particular, but not exclusive reference to the lecturers' reports/statements.
Art. 10 - Certificate of Participation
10.1. If provided for, a named certificate of attendance shall be sent at the end of the Course to Participants who have actually attended the Course in its entirety or, at the very least, for the duration from time to time envisaged by LegisLAB Academy as being equivalent to actual attendance (e.g. 80% of the lessons).
Art. 11 - Changes to the Programme and Resolutive Condition for Course Activation
11.1. LegisLAB Academy reserves the right, in the event of unforeseen circumstances and force majeure, to change the programme, dates and times of the Course lectures, undertaking to notify interested parties sufficiently in advance.

In both cases outlined above, no reimbursement, in whole or in part, of the registration fee shall be due to the Participant and/or the Client.
11.2. LegisLAB Academy also reserves the right, for exceptional and unforeseeable reasons, to cancel the Course, notifying the interested parties within three days of the scheduled start date. In this case, the participation fees received shall be refunded, excluding any charge or obligation on LegisLAB Academy.
11.3. It is understood that the actual holding of the Course in the manner and timing indicated by LegisLAB Academy is, however, subject to the condition subsequent represented by the failure to reach a minimum number of participants as indicated on the Website or on the Social Profiles.
11.4. In the hypothesis referred to in Article 11.3, LegisLAB Academy shall be exclusively obliged to give timely notice by email of the occurrence of the termination condition and to return any amounts paid, without any surcharge and excluding any and all rights to indemnity and/or compensation for damages, of any kind or type.
