Terms and Conditions of Sale

Cabinet LAWRENCE – "Private Buyer" offer – Version 2.0 – Last updated on 20/07/2026

1. Scope

These Terms and Conditions of Sale (the "T&Cs") govern exclusively the "Private Buyer" service offered by Cabinet LAWRENCE to individuals acting as consumers within the meaning of the introductory article of the French Consumer Code, as part of the online ordering journey "E.R.I.C." (Entry, Relations, Information & Confidentiality) available on cabinet-lawrence.com.

Any order implies full, complete and unreserved acceptance of these T&Cs, in the version in force on the day of the order. The Customer acknowledges having read them before validating their order, by ticking the box provided for that purpose.

2. Identity of the provider

The Service is provided by Cabinet LAWRENCE (SASU Cabinet Conseil LAWRENCE), reachable at contact@cabinet-lawrence.com. All of the provider's legal information (registered office, RCS, intra-community VAT number) appears in the Legal Notice, which is the reference source.

3. Definitions

  • Cabinet LAWRENCE: the company identified in article 2, providing the Service.
  • Customer: any adult natural person, acting for non-professional purposes, who places an order.
  • "Private Buyer" Service: the service of advice, intercession and confidential support in a real-estate acquisition project, described in article 4.
  • E.R.I.C.: the online ordering journey (information-gathering form, consents, payment, then booking of the private appointment if the option was purchased).
  • Mission opening (the "Right"): the paid service, the main product of these T&Cs, by which Cabinet LAWRENCE opens the Customer's file and acts in their name and in their interests as part of their search or acquisition (intercession with agencies, sellers and intermediaries, where applicable preserving the Customer's commercial anonymity). This is not a deposit on a later mission.
  • Private appointment (option): the individual meeting (video or telephone, lasting approximately 30 minutes) with a dedicated Cabinet LAWRENCE expert, offered as a paid option and booked by the Customer after their payment, via the link sent by email.
  • Order: the Customer's validation of the Mission opening (and, where applicable, of the Private appointment option), materialised by online payment.

4. Object and description of the Service

Cabinet LAWRENCE offers individuals confidential support in a real-estate acquisition project (the "Private Buyer" offer).

4.1. The Mission opening (the "Right") — paid service

The Mission opening is the paid Service that is the object of these T&Cs. Through it, the Customer asks Cabinet LAWRENCE to open their file and act in their name and in their interests: the firm applies its expertise and diligence to intercede with agencies, sellers and intermediaries, to search for and qualify properties, and to support the Customer, where applicable preserving their commercial anonymity vis-à-vis professionals.

The Mission opening is subject to an obligation of means (article 13); it does not guarantee a specific result (for example the completion of an acquisition). It is not a deposit and may, where applicable, lead to a separate additional mission, which would be the subject of a separate quote and contract, without the Mission opening prejudging the acceptance of such a mission by Cabinet LAWRENCE.

4.2. The "Private appointment" option

At the time of their Order, the Customer may add, as an option, a private appointment: an individual meeting of approximately 30 minutes with a dedicated Cabinet LAWRENCE expert. This option is optional and is subject to an additional price (article 6). When it is purchased, the Customer books their time slot after their payment, via the link sent by email (article 8).

5. Ordering journey and formation of the contract

The Order is placed online via the E.R.I.C. journey:

  • completion of the form (identity, contact details, elements relating to the project and confidentiality preferences);
  • acceptance of the processing of personal data (dedicated box linking to the Privacy Policy);
  • where applicable, adding the Private appointment option;
  • acceptance of these T&Cs — which also constitutes a request for immediate performance of the mission and a waiver of the right of withdrawal (dedicated box of the ordering journey, see article 9) — then secure online payment (single payment covering the Right and, if added, the private appointment).

The contract is definitively formed at the time the payment is actually collected, confirmed automatically by the payment provider. A summary email is sent to the Customer at the address provided; when a private appointment has been purchased, this email contains the link to book the slot. The Customer ensures the accuracy of their email address and checks their "junk" / "promotions" folders.

6. Price

Prices are shown in euros, inclusive of all taxes (incl. VAT), including applicable French VAT.

The price of the Mission opening (the Right) is €240 incl. VAT. On a promotional basis, a reduced rate of €199 incl. VAT may apply when payment is made within a short time (10 minutes) after the file is opened. Eligibility for the promotional rate and the price actually charged are determined automatically and tamper-proof by Cabinet LAWRENCE's systems at the time of payment.

The Private appointment option, when purchased, is added to the price of the Right for a fixed amount of €240 incl. VAT (not covered by the promotional rate).

The Customer thus pays, in a single payment: either the Right alone (€199 or €240 incl. VAT), or the Right plus the option (€199 or €240 incl. VAT + €240 incl. VAT). The details and total amount applied to the Order appear on the payment page and on the summary sent to the Customer, which prevail.

7. Payment

Payment is made online, via the secure payment solution Stripe. Cabinet LAWRENCE never has access to the Customer's full bank-card data, which is processed exclusively by Stripe in an environment compliant with the security standards in force (PCI-DSS).

The Order is only taken into account after confirmation that the payment has been collected. Only payment methods with immediate confirmation are accepted.

8. Booking the private appointment (option)

When the Customer has purchased the Private appointment option, they book their slot after their payment, via the online scheduling link sent in the confirmation email. Confirmation of the slot is then sent by email.

The Customer may request to reschedule their appointment, subject to Cabinet LAWRENCE's availability, using the links in the confirmation email. If the Customer fails to attend, without excuse, the booked and non-rescheduled appointment, the appointment service is deemed performed (see article 10).

9. Right of withdrawal

As this is a distance contract, the Customer in principle benefits, pursuant to article L221-18 of the French Consumer Code, from a period of fourteen (14) days from the conclusion of the contract (day of payment) to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to give reasons.

Waiver of the right of withdrawal through immediate performance.

The Mission opening has as its object the immediate handling of the Customer: from payment, Cabinet LAWRENCE opens the file and begins to act in their name and in their interests. By accepting these T&Cs via the dedicated box of the ordering journey, the Customer:

  • expressly requests the immediate performance of the Service, without waiting for the end of the withdrawal period (article L221-25 of the French Consumer Code);
  • acknowledges that, pursuant to article L221-28, 1° of the French Consumer Code, they will lose their right of withdrawal once the Service has been fully performed.

Consequently, the Mission opening Service, the performance of which begins upon payment at the Customer's express request, does not give rise to a refund once its performance has begun (see article 10). If the Customer withdraws after having requested immediate performance but before full performance, they remain liable, pursuant to article L221-25, for the amount corresponding to the service already provided.

For any request relating to this right, the Customer notifies their decision by an unambiguous statement sent to contact@cabinet-lawrence.com, stating their file number. They may use the model form below, without this being mandatory.

Model withdrawal form
To Cabinet LAWRENCE – 5 boulevard des Bouvets, 92000 Nanterre – contact@cabinet-lawrence.com:
I hereby notify you of my withdrawal from the contract for the Mission opening below:
– Ordered on (date) / File no.: …
– Customer name: …
– Customer address: …
– Date: …
– Signature (if paper notification): …

10. Refund and cancellation

  • Mission opening (the Right): as the Customer has requested immediate performance and waived their right of withdrawal (article 9), the Service does not give rise to a refund once its performance has begun, subject to the cases below.
  • Cancellation at Cabinet LAWRENCE's initiative: if Cabinet LAWRENCE is unable to perform the Service (unavailability, ethical incompatibility, technical reason), it informs the Customer and offers, at their choice, a replacement solution or a full refund of the corresponding amounts.
  • Private appointment option — cancellation by the firm: if the firm cannot hold the appointment, it offers the Customer a new slot or a refund of the option amount (€240 incl. VAT).
  • Customer's unexcused absence at the booked and non-rescheduled appointment: the appointment service is deemed performed and is not refunded.

11. Performance of the mission

Performance of the Mission opening begins as soon as the payment is collected. Cabinet LAWRENCE acts within reasonable timeframes, having regard to the nature of the project and market availability. When a private appointment has been purchased, it is held on the date agreed at booking (article 8).

12. Customer obligations

The Customer undertakes to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information during their E.R.I.C. journey. When they enter the contact details of third parties (for example "trusted persons"), the Customer warrants that they are authorised to communicate them and undertakes to inform those persons of the processing of their data by Cabinet LAWRENCE, in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

13. Obligation of means

Cabinet LAWRENCE is bound by a reinforced obligation of means in the performance of its Service. It applies its expertise and diligence, without guaranteeing a specific result (for example the completion of an acquisition project).

14. Neutrality and scope of intervention

Cabinet LAWRENCE acts exclusively as a provider of advice, intercession and support. It is neither a real-estate agent, nor a notary, nor a lawyer, and is not therefore subject to the regulations specific to those professions. Its Service constitutes neither a legal act, nor a notarial act, nor a real-estate transaction within the meaning of the Hoguet Act.

15. Liability

Cabinet LAWRENCE cannot be held liable for non-performance or poor performance attributable to the Customer (erroneous information, absence at the appointment), to a third party, or to a case of force majeure. In any event, Cabinet LAWRENCE's liability in respect of an Order is limited to the amount actually paid by the Customer for that Order.

16. Personal data

Personal data collected as part of the E.R.I.C. journey is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy, which describes the purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention periods and the Customer's rights (access, rectification, erasure, objection, portability, restriction, complaint to the CNIL).

17. Complaints and consumer mediation

Any complaint may be sent to Cabinet LAWRENCE at contact@cabinet-lawrence.com. Cabinet LAWRENCE endeavours to respond as quickly as possible.

In accordance with articles L611-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, the consumer Customer has the right to use, free of charge, a consumer mediator with a view to the amicable resolution of a dispute, after having tried to resolve it directly with Cabinet LAWRENCE.

The Customer may use the European online dispute resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

18. Governing law and disputes

These T&Cs are governed by French law. Failing amicable resolution, any dispute relating to their interpretation or performance is brought before the competent courts. As Cabinet LAWRENCE has its registered office in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), the Nanterre Judicial Court has jurisdiction. However, in accordance with article R631-3 of the French Consumer Code, the consumer Customer may also bring the matter, at their choice, before one of the courts territorially competent under the Code of Civil Procedure, or before the court of the place where they resided at the time the contract was concluded or the harmful event occurred.

19. Amendments and version

Cabinet LAWRENCE may amend these T&Cs at any time. The version applicable to an Order is the one in force on the day of that Order; it is retained as evidence when the Order is validated (time-stamped version). This version is Version 2.0.
