Legal
The rules that govern your use of the win2linux course. Plain language wherever possible; legalese only where it matters.
Last updated: 10 May 2026 · Version 1.0
The win2linux course is operated by [YOUR REGISTERED COMPANY NAME] (hereafter "we", "us", "win2linux"), registered at [REGISTERED ADDRESS], France, under SIRET [SIRET NUMBER]. Our VAT number is [VAT NUMBER]. For training-specific matters we are registered as a training provider under déclaration d'activité no. [NDA NUMBER].
You can reach us at support@win2linux.org for any question about these terms.
These Terms apply to anyone who visits win2linux.org, signs up for the course, redeems an access code, or otherwise uses our services. By using our services you agree to these Terms.
Specific commercial relationships — such as an enterprise contract or a Qualiopi training convention — are governed by their own signed agreements, which prevail over these Terms in case of conflict.
An individual purchase grants you a personal, non-transferable, lifetime licence to access the win2linux course content on win2linux.org. The licence covers the fifteen core course modules, the three consolidated labs, the final assessment, and the completion certificate. The companion win2linux Advanced course (covering terminal, sysadmin, and advanced material) is a separate Enterprise product and not part of the individual €299 product.
"Lifetime" means for as long as we operate the service. We commit to operate the service for a minimum of three years from your purchase date, and to provide a reasonable notice period (≥ 90 days) and a means to export your progress data should we ever discontinue it. We don't expect to discontinue it.
Your access is personal. You shouldn't share your access code or login credentials with other people. You can use the course on as many devices as you personally use — the magic-link recovery flow at /recover.html exists for exactly this case.
Individual access is a one-time payment of €299 TTC (VAT included where applicable). Payment is processed by Stripe on our behalf; we do not store your card details.
Enterprise and Qualiopi-funded pricing is per-seat and quoted via our enterprise inquiry form.
If you are a consumer purchasing the course for personal use (not on behalf of a business), French law gives you 14 calendar days from the date of purchase to withdraw from the contract, without giving any reason and without penalty.
The course is digital content delivered immediately on purchase. Under Article L221-28 13° of the Code de la consommation, the right of withdrawal does not apply if:
At checkout you may choose between:
Send an unambiguous request to support@win2linux.org within the 14-day window. Include your name, the email used at purchase, and the words "Withdrawal" or "Rétractation". A withdrawal template form is available on request. Refunds are processed within 14 days of receipt, via the original payment method, at no extra cost to you.
The 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply to professional buyers (Code de la consommation Art. L221-3). Refund terms for enterprise contracts and Qualiopi-funded training are set in the signed convention de formation and prevail over this section.
For full refund details, see our dedicated refund policy.
You agree not to:
If you violate these rules we may suspend or terminate your access.
All course content — text, audio narration, video, code, illustrations, the "win2linux" wordmark and Tux-derived branding — is owned by us or licensed to us. Your purchase grants you a personal licence to use the content for your own learning; it does not transfer ownership.
Open-source components used in the course (Linux kernel artwork, Tux character, etc.) retain their original licences — most are under permissive or copyleft licences that allow educational use. Specific attributions are available on request.
If your access was provided via an employer or via a Qualiopi-eligible training plan funded by an OPCO, the terms of the convention de formation signed by your employer apply. Specifically:
We provide the course "as is" and do our best to keep it accurate and current. The course teaches general Linux fundamentals; it is not professional advice for your specific production environment.
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of these Terms is capped at the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded under French law — in particular, liability for fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct, and your statutory consumer rights.
You can stop using the course at any time. To request deletion of your learner data, see our Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if your payment is reversed, or if we are required to do so by law. Wherever practical we give notice and a chance to remedy first.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be flagged on this page (the "Last updated" date above) and, for active learners, emailed to the address on your account. Continued use of the course after a change constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by French law. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or your use of the course will be brought before the competent French courts. Before going to court, we both agree to attempt good-faith mediation through a recognised consumer mediator — for example, the Médiateur de la consommation for individuals — or via the EU's Online Dispute Resolution platform.
For anything about these Terms, email support@win2linux.org. We read every message.
These Terms were drafted as a starting point and reviewed against standard SaaS-training practice for the French / EU market. They are not legal advice. Before going live or accepting OPCO funding, have a French lawyer or specialised legal counsel review them, particularly sections 7 (Qualiopi convention), 8 (liability), and 11 (consumer dispute resolution).
