9.1. On the part of the Customer
Entrance Tickets for unaccompanied or guided tours, Packages and ancillary services are neither refundable, exchangeable nor modifiable.
9.2. On the part of the Vendor
In the event that the Vendor is obliged to cancel or modify a key component of one of the Services ordered by the Customer, the Customer has the right to refuse the proposed modification and to obtain a full refund of the price of the Services ordered.
The Vendor is responsible for the proper performance of the Services ordered under the conditions set out in these Terms and Conditions. The Vendor, which can be held liable solely in relation to an obligation of means with regard to online sales, cannot be held liable for any inconvenience or damages arising from the use of the Internet, including for a service disruption, an external intrusion or the presence of a computer virus, and, in general, for any other event expressly described as force majeure by case law. The Vendor cannot, under any circumstances, be held liable in the event of loss or theft of Entrance Tickets, Vouchers or Customers’ personal items that have not been deposited in the place reserved for this purpose. The Vendor is the only party authorised to determine the operating and maintenance conditions of Musée Grévin, in accordance with its needs and/or constraints, and will solely determine (i) Musée Grévin's opening schedule and opening hours for the public; (ii) the services and attractions it provides and their terms and conditions of use; (iii) the rates for and terms of sale of the Services it offers to the public within Musée Grévin; (iv) the maintenance, repair, restoration and renovation programme for all or part of the facilities; (v) the implementation of standards and rules concerning, in particular, the health and safety of Musée Grévin property and persons. The Vendor may, at its sole discretion, decide to close public access to all or part of Musée Grévin for as long as necessary, in particular for the performance of works necessary for the safety and protection of visitors, or related to the maintenance, repair or renovation of all or part of Musée Grévin's facilities, or in the event of force majeure compelling the Vendor to totally or partially close Musée Grévin.
In the event that the fulfilment of the Vendor's obligations is delayed or prevented, in whole or in part, by the occurrence of a case of force majeure as defined by Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, the Vendor will inform the Customer of such by any means. In the event of force majeure, the Vendor's obligations shall be automatically suspended without its liability being incurred as a result. However, the Vendor may offer the Customer another date for the consumption of the Services ordered and impacted by the case of force majeure.
In accordance with Article L.213-1 of the French Consumer Code, for any Order placed online on the Vendor's Website for an amount greater than or equal to € 120, the Vendor shall ensure the preservation of the written record of the Customer's Order for a period of ten (10) years from the delivery that was the subject of the Order, and shall guarantee access to such at any time over the same period.
Except in cases of force majeure as defined in Article 12 of the Terms and Conditions, in the event of the Vendor's failure to discharge its obligation to provide the Services on the date or within the period indicated to the Customer, the Customer may terminate the contract by registered letter with a request for acknowledgment of receipt or in writing on another durable medium, if, having directed the Vendor to provide the Services within a reasonable additional period and under the same conditions, the Vendor has not performed such within that time period. The contract shall be deemed to be terminated upon receipt by the Vendor of the letter or written notice informing it of this termination, unless the Vendor has performed such in the meantime. Nevertheless, the Customer may immediately terminate the contract upon the Vendor refusing to provide the Services or failing to discharge its obligation to provide the Services on the date or within the period specified to the Client, where that date or period constitutes an essential condition of the contract for the Customer. This essential condition must result from the circumstances surrounding the conclusion of the contract or from an express request by the Customer prior to the conclusion of the contract (Article L216-2 of the French Consumer Code).
Any claim relating to the booking of Services or the performance thereof must be sent to the Vendor's Claims Department (MUSEE GREVIN, Contact Centre, 25, route du Mesnil – 78990 Elancourt, France) by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within twenty (20) days from the performance of the Services, together with all supporting documentation (Entrance Ticket, Vouchers), (i) delivered to the Customer as part of its Order and (ii) proving the validity of its claim (medical certificate, photograph, report), without which the claim will not be processed.
