No amount will be required from the trainee before the expiry of the withdrawal period provided for in article L. 6353-5. The remaining amount due can be paid:
- In one go: check or transfer of the balance which will only be cashed at the end of the training

StratMachina will have the option of obtaining settlement by litigation at the expense of the customer without prejudice to other damages that may be due to StratMachina. In the event of payment by the OPCA on which the customer depends, it is up to the customer to make the request for coverage before the start of the training. The financing agreement must be communicated at the time of registration and on the copy of the quotation that the customer returns duly filled in, dated, stamped, signed and marked “Good for agreement” to StratMachina. In the event of partial coverage by the OPCA, the difference will be directly invoiced by StratMachina to the customer. If the customer's support agreement does not reach StratMachina no later than one business day before the start of the training, StratMachina reserves the right to refuse the trainee's entry into training or to charge him all of the training fees. In exceptional situations, payment may be made in installments. In any case, its modalities must have been formalized before the start of the training.
