The novation of the contract, that is, the change of date in the activity attributable to the client and not justified as force majeure, will carry the same consideration as the cancellation. Sometimes a person with a collective contract (partner, group of friends….) May consider that force majeure is subject to the entire group that contracted such activity. This consideration is only applicable to that person who suffers this force majeure (illness, family death, injury….).

-GE will not be responsible for carrying out activities on its own behalf of clients who have carried out any activity or training course with GE.
