They apply automatically, except in special derogatory and written conditions, to the reservation of Services to the Tourism Office.

The Customer is also expressly informed and acknowledges that the Services ordered or reserved may be subject, in addition to these GTC, to the specific conditions of the Service provider indicated in the description and on the reservation confirmation. It is therefore the responsibility of the Customer to be aware of these contractual conditions before any purchase or reservation.
 
Any document other than these GTC, including the descriptions and photographs of the Services, have a purely informative purpose, the content of which may vary depending on the Provider. Therefore, it is advisable to contact the Provider directly for updated information.
 
In the event that one of the provisions of these GTC is declared null and void, this provision will be deemed unwritten, without affecting the validity of the other provisions

Orders or reservations can be taken at the desk or by telephone on: +33 (0)4 50 02 70 14.
 
 
By placing an order, the Customer explicitly acknowledges having obtained all the desired information on the price, the nature and the characteristics of the Service ordered.
 
If the Customer does not feel sufficiently informed about the features of the Services, they may, prior to ordering, request additional information from the Tourism Office or the Provider.
 
The order or reservation becomes firm and definitive only when the Customer has validated their order and completed the payment for the entirety and after written confirmation by the Tourism Office, including the desired availabilities and the required number of participants.
 
In some cases, including: default of payment, wrong address or other problem regarding the Customer’s account, the Tourist Office reserves the right to block the Customer’s order until the problem is solved.
 
Any firm or definitive order or reservation can no longer be subject to any modification or cancellation by the Customer, subject to the implementation of their right of withdrawal under the conditions defined below in Article 4 and cancellation conditions specific to the nature of the Service.

Prices are shown in euros, including any taxes.
 
 
Unless otherwise agreed, all orders are paid at the time of ordering or reservation.

The Customer must present themselves at the place and time stipulated on their booking document.
The times indicated must be respected to ensure the smooth running of the Service. In case of delay, a postponement of the activity may be proposed to the Customer. If no substitute date can be found, only the Customer is responsible for the delay and no refund will be made.

 
Article 4 - Cancellation by the Customer
 
All requests for total or partial cancellation must be made in person at the desk or be addressed in writing to the Tourist Office mentioning the name and contact details of the persons concerned by the cancellation.

• cancellation 30 to 15 days before: 50% of the price of the activity withheld.

Moreover, in case of non-attendance by the Customer, no refund will be due.

In the case where the Service Provider must cancel the Service before the Customer has been able to start the activity, a postponement of the activity will be offered to the Customer. If a postponement is not possible, the Customer is fully refunded by the Tourist Office. The same applies if there is a substantial change in the Service provided.
In the case of an exchange for a less expensive service, the difference is returned to the Customer.
Other activity-specific terms and conditions may apply, these are specified at the booking confirmation or on the ticket.
 
The Provider reserves the right to cancel a Service if the minimum number of participants indicated on the site is not reached before the start of the Service or if the weather conditions could affect the safety of the participants.
