If the impediment is temporary, the performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies the termination of the Contract. If the impediment is definitive, the Contract is automatically terminated and the Parties are released from their obligations under the conditions provided for in Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code. In the event of the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events, the Publisher will endeavor to inform the User as soon as possible.

For any question or complaint relating to the use or operation of the Site, the User is invited to send a message via the “Contact” tab available on the Site.

Article 13. Validity of the GTU

If any of the provisions of these GCU were to be declared, in whole or in part, null, illegal or unenforceable under a legislative or regulatory provision in force and / or a court decision having the authority of res judicata, it will be deemed unwritten but will not affect in any way the validity, legality or enforceability of the other clauses that will remain fully applicable. In such a case, however, and in order to avoid that the GCU survive in a truncated and / or incoherent form, the Publisher undertakes to integrate into the GCU a new provision aimed at reproducing the economy in the initial clause, in compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory provisions and this, as soon as possible. Such modification or decision does not authorize Users to disregard these General Terms of Use.

Article 14. Modification of the GCU

The GCU may be modified and updated by the Publisher at any time, in particular to adapt to legislative or regulatory developments. Users will be notified of any changes to the Site Terms. The GCU applicable are those in force at the time of navigation on the Site.

Article 15. Interpretation and non-waiver

In case of difficulty of interpretation between any of the titles appearing at the top of the clauses, and any of them, the titles will be declared non-existent. The fact that one of the Parties has not required the application of any clause of the GTU, whether permanently or temporarily, can in no case be considered as a waiver of the said clause.

Article 16. Dispute and applicable law

In the event of a complaint, the User may contact the Publisher as indicated in Article 12 of the GCU. The latter will endeavor to find an amicable solution to the dispute. The present GCU as well as the relations between the User and the Publisher are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, only the French courts will have jurisdiction. In the event of a dispute with a consumer, within the meaning of the legislation in force, the latter may, at his choice, bring proceedings, in addition to one of the courts having territorial jurisdiction under the Code of Civil Procedure, before the court of the place where he remained at the time of the conclusion of the contract or the occurrence of the harmful event.

Article 1: Definitions Contract: refers collectively to (i) the online order form, (ii) the Ticket, (iii) the present general terms and conditions of sale, (iv) any specific conditions, and (v) the supplementary documents applicable according to the circumstances (internal regulations of the Site, code of good conduct of the Organizer, etc.).

Article 2: Ticket Order Online Order: Prior to any order, the Client expressly acknowledges having read the present GTC and accepts them without reservation before validating their order. Registering an order for one or more Tickets on the Ticketing platform is done when the Client fills in the requested information, accepts the GTC by checking the box provided for this purpose, and validates their order. Pursuant to the provisions of Article 1127-2 of the Civil Code, the Client has the possibility to check the details of their order, its total price, and to correct any errors before confirming their order. This validation constitutes the Contract as well as proof of the order. It is therefore the Client's responsibility to verify the accuracy of their order and to immediately correct any errors. The order for the Ticket(s) will only be considered final after the Client receives confirmation of their order and the full payment of the price. The Organizer reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a Client with whom there is a dispute regarding the payment of a previous order. Order on Site: The Organizer also reserves the right to sell Tickets on the Site of the Event, if applicable, under different conditions from those offered on the Ticketing platform. Availability of Tickets sold via Ticketing: The Ticketing platform informs the Client in real-time about the availability of Tickets.

Article 4: Ticket Price & Payment Conditions The price applicable to the available Tickets (face value) is indicated on the Ticketing platform in euros and VAT included. Different types of rates (subject to conditions, if applicable) may be offered. The Organizer reserves the right to modify its rates at any time. The applicable price is the one in effect at the time of the order. Validating an order implies the obligation for the Client to pay the price of the selected Ticket(s). Only one payment is authorized per order. The payment of the order is made by credit card, and the transaction will be processed by the Organizer's banking partner. The Ticketing platform is subject to a security system. Payment by credit card may require the use of the 3D Secure system, and the transactions made are secured by SSL encryption. The data recorded by the payment system constitute proof of financial transactions. No banking coordinates of the Client are retained by the Organizer. Once the transaction is validated by the bank, the holder of the bank account will be automatically debited the amount of their order. It is specified that the debit of the Client's credit card is independent of the actual sending of the Tickets. If a transaction is invalidated by the bank, in the event that the Ticket(s) have already been issued, the latter will be invalidated. Article 5: Ticket Reception Once the order is confirmed, an email is sent to the Client with the Tickets (in the body of the message or as an attachment in PDF format). It is then the Client's responsibility to verify the correct receipt of their Tickets. The Client is invited to print their Ticket to present it upon access to the Event. In case of non-receipt, the Client can file a complaint with the Organizer. The Tickets are personal, non-transferable, and non-exchangeable. In case of loss, theft, or unlawful use of the Ticket, no duplicate will be issued to the Client. Article 6: Ticket Usage Conditions Each Ticket is equipped with a unique barcode that allows the Client to access the Event during its validity period. Therefore, in case of loss, theft, or duplication of a valid Ticket, only the first presentation of the Ticket allows access to the Event. The Client remains responsible for the use made of their Ticket. The validity of the Tickets is checked upon entry to the Event. To be valid, the Ticket must be printed on white A4 paper, front and back, without modification of the printing format and in good quality. Partially printed, soiled, damaged, or illegible Tickets may be refused by the Organizer. The Organizer also reserves the right to accept or refuse other supports, notably electronic ones (mobile phone, tablet, etc.). During the checks, an official ID with a photo and in force may be requested from the Client. After the check, the Ticket must be kept until the end of the Event. Article 7: Fraud It is forbidden to reproduce, use a copy, duplicate, or counterfeit the Ticket in any way, under penalty of criminal prosecution. Similarly, any unlawful entry will result in criminal prosecution and the invalidity of the Ticket. In any case, the Ticket may not be sold for a face value higher than that indicated on the Ticket. The Organizer reserves the right to take legal action against Clients who offer Tickets for sale at a price higher than their face value. It is recalled that the unlawful sale of access titles to an event on public domain, in a private place or on the internet, is a criminal offense punishable
