Jérémy:
I noticed the "Cancel" button after a few hours, but because I was unsure of 
what exactly it would  cancel, and whether it was a required or optional step 
of the proceess, I opted not to risk wasting all the time already invested and 
didn't cancel anything.

Again, I think more information about what was going on could have enabled me 
to make an informed decision.

With kind regards,
