In this case, Toofrench.com will first send an e-mail to the User guilty of the breach. If the User fails to respond to the e-mail and/or persists in the breach, the User’s account will be terminated at Toofrench.com’s discretion within 2 working days.

Termination for serious breach of contract: A serious breach of contract is deemed to have occurred if the user fails to comply, or has failed to comply, with any of the provisions of articles 2 and 6 of these GCU. In this case, termination is immediate and the user is not entitled to claim any reimbursement whatsoever for the period remaining until the next subscription expiry date.
