ARTICLE 2. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE OF PASSES

Article 2.1. Description of Passes

The duration of a Pass stating the number of days implies "consecutive days" of a specific dated period.

Other Passes that may be available for purchase:

- “Non-Consecutive Days Passes”: Their period of validity is defined on the tariff charts available at points of sale and determined at the time of purchase. At the end of the specified period, if the credit of days has not been completely used, the remaining credit cannot be deferred, refunded or exchanged.

- “Consecutive Hours Passes”: The number of hours is deducted without interruption, in a continuous manner, from the first passage through the first access point of the ski lift. If, when the ski lifts close, the credit of hour(s) has not been completely used, the remaining hour(s) credit or fraction thereof cannot be carried over to a later date, nor refunded or exchanged.

The Seller, in its capacity as an Intermediary Insurance Agent, proposes the purchase of an "Assurance Ski" insurance contract to the Client, in addition to the Pass purchase. This contract is subject to the insurance conditions, which the Client may consult at points of sale or on the Seller’s website (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”) at www.skipass-serre-chevalier.com.

IMPORTANT:

The issuance of each Pass results in a proof of purchase, which states the ski area and category (adult, child, etc.), the date limit of the validity period, the physical medium number of the ski pass and, if applicable, the insurance contract number.

This proof of purchase must imperatively be kept on the Client, who must be able to present it to the Seller upon demand in case of inspection or specific circumstances (e.g. emergency, loss or theft of Pass, misuse, complaint).

Article 2.2. Physical medium of Passes

The Pass is issued on a physical medium (hereinafter referred to as “physical medium”) that contains its number, called a “physical medium number.” The Pass is composed of a physical medium that incorporates a ski pass and a proof of purchase.

This rechargeable card encoded with a chip, called the "Card," allows activation of the turnstiles at access points of the ski lifts.

This physical medium is delivered free of charge by the Seller when ordering Passes (at points of sale, automatic kiosks, terminals for purchase/recharging and touchpad tablets located at points of sale or at the resort partners’ sites, or at www.skipass-serrechevalier.com).

No new ski pass can be registered until the pass originally encoded on the physical medium has been completely consumed. Otherwise, the initial pass will be irretrievably cancelled, and the Client cannot claim any compensation.

The titleholder of a physical medium does not benefit from any reduction on the price of the ski pass if recharged at points of sale or online.

Article 2.3. Photograph of the client

To purchase any type of “season” Pass, as well as “complementary” or “veterans” Passes of a duration of three (3) days or more, the Client must submit a recent form of identification photo, showing the frontal view of the Client’s face, without sunglasses nor head covering.
