- At its points of sale of the resort

- On automated kiosks available at certain             points of sale

- At www.skipass-serrechevalier.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”)

 

Other Passes available for purchase, in accordance with the price charts referred to in Article 2.4:

  • "Consecutive Days Passes” of a specific dated period.

 

  • “Non-Consecutive Days Passes”: Their period of validity is defined on the price charts displayed 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 policy to the Client, in addition to the Pass purchase. This contract is subject to the insurance terms and conditions made available at the points of sale or consultableand downloadable either directly from the website www.assurance-ski-serrechevalier.fr or through the hypertext link on the Website.

IMPORTANT: The issuance of each Pass results in the delivery of a proof of sale, which states the ski area and category (adult, child, etc.), the date limit of the validity period, the physical Support number of the ski pass and, if applicable, any insurance subscription.

This proof of sale 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., rescue, loss or theft of Pass, complaint).

 

Article 2.2. Support of Passes

 

The Pass is issued on a physical support (hereinafter referred to as “Support”) that contains its number, called a “Support number”. The Pass is composed of a support that is encoded with a ski pass and a proof of sale.

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

 

This Support is delivered free of charge by the Seller when ordering Passes.

No new ski pass can be registered until the pass originally encoded on the support has been completely consumed. Failing this, the initial ski lift pass will be irretrievably cancelled, and the Client cannot claim any compensation whatsoever.

 

The titleholder of a support 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

 

The sale of any type of “season” Pass, as well as the issuance of “complimentary” or “veterans” Passes of a duration of three (3) days or more, requires that the Client submit or take a recent identification photo, showing the frontal view of the Client’s face, with neither sunglasses nor head covering.

This photo will be kept by the Seller in the computer ticketing system to facilitate any possible recharging or reissuing of the Pass, if the Client has granted consent (see “Protection of Personal Data”).

 

Article 2.4. Prices

 

The public prices for ski lift passes and “Assurance Ski” insurance are posted at the Seller’s points of sale and on the Website. Price charts are also available at the points of sale and Offices of Tourism.

Moreover, certain offers or promotions may be exclusively available or reserved for specific sales channels (the Website, for example).

In all cases, the age of the Client shall be determined by his age on the day of the beginning of validity of the Pass to be issued.

 

Article 2.5. Modalities of use of automated machines

Only certain Passes without photographs and purchased at the public rate can be issued by these automated machines.

     2.6.2. If the Client chooses a 2 to 15 days Pass (not including “season” passes and non-consecutive days Passes)

 

Only in the case of an interruptionof at least one day AND an interruption ofmore than seventy-five percent (75%) of the ski lifts to which the Pass provides access will the Seller consider compensation for damage incurred by the Client, titleholder of a 2 to 15 days Pass (not including “season” passes and non- consecutive days Passes).

 

In this case, the Client can submit a compensation request at https://www.ticketoski.fr/fr/serre-chevalier.

 

Once the qualifying factors outlined in paragraph one of this section have been established, compensation is determined according to the number of days during which the Client could not use his Pass due to the interruption of service. The last day taken into consideration in all cases is the expiration day of the validity of the Pass concerned.

 

The Client may choose compensation among the options listed below (this choice is irrevocable and cannot be called into question for any reason whatsoever):

  1. An extension of the period of validity of the Pass concerned by issuing a new Pass, of the same type and of a duration equal to the number of compensable days as defined above (which shall begin on the day after expiration of the initial Pass, or from the first day of the resumption of service, if later than that date).
  2. Receipt of a credit voucher, which must be used before the end of the winter season following the ongoing Season (S+1). The amount of credit is defined by the calculation below in point 3. 
  3. A refund, calculated pro-rata, based on the number of days the ski lifts were interrupted.

For example, in the case of an interruption of more than 75% of the ski lifts as indicated above for a period of three (3) days, the Client, titleholder of a Six (6) days Pass will be reimbursed 3/6ths of the purchase price of his Pass.

 

The Client cannot claim any sum or benefit exceeding the chosen compensation.

The compensation shall be paid no later than two (2) months following the receipt of all documents relating to the compensation request.
