The arbitration procedure will take place in Lomé. The arbitration will take place in French. An arbitrator will be appointed by mutual agreement of the parties.

For example, if you purchase a monthly subscription on March 5, it will renew on April 5. If you purchase a monthly subscription on August 31, it will renew on September 30.
