In the event of termination of the GTC, the multi-payment or deferred payment agreement will be automatically terminated. In the event of withdrawal from the multi-payment or deferred payment solution used for your payment, the GTC will be automatically terminated, unless you pay the amount of your purchase in cash through Alma.
