Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that your contact information is accurate when ordering. An error could result, for example, in you not receiving the information to participate in a training session. In case of doubt, do not hesitate to write to us (info@ecolebranchee.com) so that we can validate (and correct if necessary) the information!
