In accordance with Article L.213-1 of the French Consumer Code, for any Orders placed online on the Vendor’s Website for an amount equal to or greater than €120, the Vendor shall keep a written record of the Customer’s Order for a period of ten (10) years from the date of delivery of the Order, and shall guarantee the Customer access to this record at any time during this period.

ARTICLE 18. TERMINATION CLAUSE

Except in cases of force majeure, if the Vendor fails to fulfil its obligation to provide the Services on the date or within the period indicated to the Customer, the Customer may, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, or in writing on another sustainable medium, (i) notify the Vendor of the suspension of payment of all or part of the price until the Vendor complies, or (ii) cancel the contract if, after requesting, in the same manner, the Vendor to provide the Services within a reasonable additional period, the Vendor has not complied within this period. The contract shall be deemed to have been terminated upon receipt by the Vendor of the letter or written statement informing it of this termination, unless the Vendor has complied in the meantime. Nevertheless, the Customer may immediately cancel the contract if the Vendor refuses to provide the Services, or if it does not fulfil its obligation to provide the Services on the date or within the period indicated to the Customer, and this date or period constitutes an essential condition of the contract for the Customer. This essential condition results from the circumstances surrounding conclusion of the contract, or from an express request made by the Customer prior to conclusion of the contract (Article L.216-2 of the French Consumer Code).

The Vendor’s Website is governed by French legislation on copyright and intellectual property.

Such complaints must be accompanied by all supporting documentation (Tickets, Vouchers) (i) delivered to the Customer as part of the Order, and (ii) justifying the grounds for the complaint (medical certificate, photograph, report). 

Failure to provide such documentation will render the complaint inadmissible. Where an Order is placed online, complaints may also be made through the Vendor’s website (in the "Contact" section). 

Any Customer who does not receive a satisfactory response to their complaint within sixty (60) days after contacting the Vendor’s Complaints Department may enter, free of charge, a conventional (non-legal) mediation procedure under the terms of Article L.611-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, or any other alternative dispute resolution mechanism. 

The Customer is hereby informed of the option to enter a mediation procedure with the French Travel and Tourism Mediator according to the conditions set out on the website www.mtv.travel (MTV Médiation Tourisme Voyage - BP 80 30375 823 Paris Cedex 17, France; email: info@mtv.travel, tel. no.: (+33)14 26 79 668).

APPENDIX 1 

Standard information form for package travel contracts taken out on the Website www.parcasterix.fr or by telephone on 09 86 86 86 87 (freephone number).

The combination of travel services offered to you is a package within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2015/2302 and Article L.211-2 II of the Tourism Code.
You will therefore benefit from all the rights granted by the European Union applicable to packages, as transposed into the Tourism Code.
GREVIN ET COMPAGNIE will be fully responsible for the proper execution of the package as a whole. In addition, as required by law, GREVIN ET COMPAGNIE has protection in place to reimburse your payments in the event that it becomes insolvent.

Essential rights provided for in EU Directive 2015/2302 transposed into the Tourism Code:
Travellers will receive all essential information about the package before concluding the package travel contract. The organiser and the retailer are responsible for the proper performance of all travel services included in the contract.

Travellers will receive an emergency telephone number or contact details for a point of contact allowing them to reach the organiser or the retailer.

Travellers may transfer their package to another person, subject to reasonable notice and possibly subject to paying additional fees.

The price of the package may only be increased if specific costs increase (e.g. fuel prices) and if this possibility is explicitly provided for in the contract, and may in any case not be changed less than twenty days before the start of the package. If the price increase exceeds 8% of the price of the package, the traveler may terminate the contract. If the organizer reserves the right to increase the price, the traveler is entitled to a price reduction in the event of a decrease in the corresponding costs.

Travelers may terminate the contract without paying termination fees and be fully reimbursed for payments made if one of the essential elements of the package, other than the price, undergoes a significant change. If, before the start of the package, the professional responsible for the package cancels it, travelers are entitled to a refund and compensation, if applicable.

Travellers may terminate the contract without paying a termination fee before the start of the package in the event of exceptional circumstances, for example if there are serious security issues at the destination that are likely to affect the package.

In addition, travellers may terminate the contract at any time before the start of the package by paying an appropriate and justifiable termination fee.

If, after the start of the package, significant elements of the package cannot be provided as planned, suitable alternative services must be offered to travellers at no extra charge. Travellers may terminate the contract without paying termination fees if the services are not performed in accordance with the contract, this significantly disrupts the performance of the package and the organiser does not remedy the problem.

Travellers are also entitled to a price reduction and/or compensation in the event of non-performance or poor performance of the travel services.

The organiser or retailer must provide assistance if the traveller is in difficulty. If the organiser or retailer becomes insolvent, the amounts paid will be refunded. If the organiser or retailer becomes insolvent after the start of the package and if transport is included in the package, the repatriation of travellers is guaranteed.
