ARTICLE 6 – Online ticketing, e-tickets

When purchasing tickets, the buyer must specify:
– Name, telephone number and e-mail address;

E-tickets purchased via the online ticketing service are valid for the date indicated on the ticket; they are not refundable but may be exchanged subject to availability and in the event of cancellation by the organiser (bad weather or strong winds).
Validity and use of tickets: In order to enter the Parc et Lumières tour, the Purchaser or Beneficiary of the ticket must present it at the reception desk. Any ticket modified or damaged by the Purchaser will be refused if the major information is illegible. It is not necessary to print out the e-ticket, as it can be read and/or scanned directly on the smartphone. The ticket must be in the name of the person who made the reservation. The other beneficiaries can be identified by the person who made the payment on the online platform, i.e. the Buyer. It is therefore not necessary to enter the details of all the beneficiaries, only the Buyer is obliged to do so.
Please note that legislation excludes leisure ticket purchases from the withdrawal period.

ARTICLE 7 – Closure of the visit, cancellation of the event, capacity

The organisers reserve the right to close the Parc et Lumières visit, or certain parts of it, for reasons of safety, force majeure or fortuitous event, which can in no way engage the responsibility of the organisers. The organisers will follow the weather forecasts of the Météo France agency and will proceed to the cancellation of the course in case of an orange alert. In the event of unforeseeable bad weather, the organisers reserve the right to close the Parc et Lumières tour in order to preserve the safety of people. In the event of cancellation, the organisers must inform the clients as soon as possible, by email and/or SMS and indicate the procedure to follow to postpone their visit.

In this case, and insofar as the Customer can justify his inability to return at a later date, the face value of the Ticket paid by the Customer, excluding commission, shall be reimbursed by the organisers to the exclusion of any other compensation or indemnity whatsoever. Under these conditions, the refund will be made upon written request from the interested party specifying the date on which he/she was unable to visit, accompanied by any document justifying this, upon presentation of a bank statement and his/her Ticket. Before any refund, the Ticket will be invalidated by the organiser. This request must be made within one month of the date of the visit. No refunds will be made on site. This request must be sent by email to: [email protected]

For safety reasons, the number of simultaneous visitors on the tour is limited, which is why departures are staggered, in small groups.

ARTICLE 8 – Responsibility

Safety instructions and instructions for the use of the tour devices are displayed and explained at the reception desk and at the start of the tour. The organiser reserves the right to exclude from the tour any person who does not respect the safety instructions.
The organisers accept no responsibility for any failure to comply with the safety instructions, or for any misuse of the equipment or for any use not in accordance with its purpose as stipulated in the safety instructions. Children are guided along the tour route under the responsibility of the adults accompanying them. Children and people from schools, leisure centres and other organisations are under the responsibility of their supervisors. Adults and supervisory staff must ensure that the safety instructions are followed by the people under their responsibility.
The organisers decline all responsibility in the event of loss, damage or theft of personal belongings such as clothing, cameras, glasses, keys, etc. (non-exhaustive list), which are the personal responsibility of each client.
