• The day before the user leaves the SGHR, they will receive an e-mail or text message from SGHR, where they will be given a link to the General Conditions in this section 3.

a. The user guarantees that the personal and invoicing details provided to SGHR are accurate, exact, current and complete and accepts responsibility for informing SGHR of any change to them so that they can take the corresponding payment.
