The RESELLER must inform its Clientele of the terms and conditions of use of ski lift passes, available and downloadable from the websites of the ski lift operators concerned (www.serre-chevalier.com/fr/cgv) and displayed at all their points of sale.

In the context of usage of methods referred to above, the RESELLER will remain solely civilly and criminally responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of all indications, representations and information contained in all brochures, publications, communication media or advertising established as such, and shall be held personally liable for any misleading or false advertising violation.

In accordance with Article R211-9 of the Tourism Code, in the event that the ORGANISER is obliged to modify one of the essential elements of the Tourist Product ordered by the Clientele, or if the ORGANISER cannot meet the specific requirements of the Clientele that it has expressly accepted, the ORGANISER must notify the RESELLER of the fact as soon as possible.
The Clientele of the RESELLER reserves the right to refuse the proposed modification and obtain a full refund of the price paid. In the event that the Clientele of the RESELLER accepts changes to the Tourist Product made by the ORGANISER, a new booking confirmation will be sent to the RESELLER with all the required information.

The services performed at a hotel or hotel residence fall within the scope of the liability of hoteliers defined by the Civil Code. Additionally, the responsibility of the ORGANISER and its supplier will be limited to the conditions set by Articles 1952 et al. of the Civil Code. The RESELLER will be solely and personally responsible for any damage caused on its own and/or caused by its Clientele with regard to the ORGANISER, its beneficiaries and/or any third party herein.
ARTICLE 9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The RESELLER shall not infringe on the intellectual property rights of the ORGANISER, nor on the brand image of the latter.
As part of the execution of its mission, the RESELLER may distribute and/or publish, either personally or through its distribution network, intellectual property elements provided by the ORGANISER (such as photos, brands and logos, descriptions of tourist products, etc.), in strict compliance with the following conditions:
- Any publication or dissemination of intellectual property elements must be used exclusively for the illustration and promotion of the ORGANISER'S Tourist Products on the sales media provided for in Article 2.
- Any distribution or publication of Tourist Products, in any form whatsoever, must include the legal notices sent by the ORGANISER (in particular, the photo credits)
- Reproduction of the ORGANISER'S brand or logo must respect the colours and dimensions in accordance with the designs presented by the ORGANISER.
It is expressly agreed that this authorisation shall not result in any transfer of intellectual property rights of the ORGANISER to the RESELLER.
In all cases, any citing, publication or dissemination of intellectual property elements must first obtain the express authorisation by means of an official proof, approved by the ORGANISER.
The ORGANISER reserves the right to carry out, at any time, any verification it deems necessary or useful regarding the conditions of use of intellectual property elements transmitted to the RESELLER. Should the RESELLER not comply with the conditions of authorisation of use, of publication and/or distribution provided for herein, the RESELLER can be notified by the ORGANISER, who may impose a complete interdiction of publication or an obligation of immediate cessation to use the intellectual property elements in question on its promotional sales media, without prejudice to any damage or interest.
The use, distribution and/or publication of the intellectual property of the ORGANISER in the catalogue of the RESELLER and/or all communication or advertising media for which it is responsible, is authorised hereunder exclusively for the duration of the annual contract signed between the parties.
ARTICLE 10. CLIENT COMPLAINTS
The RESELLER must inform the ORGANISER of any complaint relating to Tourist Products and, at the latest, within 24 hours of receiving the complaint.

If the RESELLER settles the dispute in a transactional manner, it must inform the ORGANISER of this fact. In the case of a dispute due to a fault of the ORGANISER or the supplier, any transaction carried out by the RESELLER allocating the client compensation in kind or in monetary funds, must obtain the agreement of the ORGANISER prior to any final conclusion. If this authorisation is not obtained, the RESELLER will be solely responsible for the financial payment of the aforementioned transaction.
Regardless of the conditions of amicable or legal settlement of the RESELLER regarding its clients, any sums resulting from disputes or client complaints may in no case be the subject of a deduction from the sums owed to the ORGANISER.
ARTICLE 11. PERSONAL DATA
Collected and processed information relating to the Clientele by the RESELLER and the ORGANISER constitutes personal data protected by applicable provisions in terms of data protection law, in particular the EU 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation of 27 April 2016 (hereinafter ‘GDPR’), which the parties shall respect, moreover ensuring that their employees abide by all its principles and obligations. ‘Personal data’ is understood to mean, regardless of its usage in the singular or the plural, any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter ‘data subject’), directly or indirectly, by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to the person’s identity (hereinafter ‘data’ or ‘personal data’).
Each party is responsible for processing as defined by Article 4 paragraph 7 of the GDPR, and therefore agrees to strictly comply with the applicable legal provisions, particularly with its obligations as a data controller.
These provisions are valid both for the duration of the collaboration and after its termination, notably with regard to the provisions applicable to the limitation period concerning the duration of data retention. The parties, as data controllers, shall respectively implement technical and operational protection of the IT processing and data processed by the parties under this contract, in accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR.
The ORGANISER recognises the RESELLER as the exclusive owner of its client file and shall not use, for any purpose whatsoever, the personal data of the Clientele obtained within the framework hereof, apart from operations necessary for the execution of its contractual obligations. The ORGANISER shall therefore be prohibited from using this data for purposes other than those resulting from the present contract and from disclosing the data to third parties, except to its suppliers and service providers, exclusively for execution purposes of these terms and conditions.
ARTICLE 12. CANCELLATION CLAUSE
In the event of failure by one of the parties to fulfil its contractual obligations specified in Articles 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11 hereof, the party injured due to the non-fulfilment may put the other party on formal notice to resolve the situation by sending a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt. The letter of formal notice, in accordance with article 1225 of the Civil Code, must expressly refer to this cancellation clause. The contract shall also be cancelled automatically at the request of the ORGANISER in the event that the RESELLER has its Travel Agency license withdrawn or its Public liability insurance contract terminated.
If the defaulting party has not resolved the issue within thirty (30) days after receipt of the aforementioned letter of formal notice, or has refused to remedy it, the contract shall be automatically terminated, and the defaulting party will be exclusively liable for the damages on that date.
The automatic cancellation is without prejudice to any damages due to the injured party or other rights and remedies to which it may claim as a result of non-execution hereof.
ARTICLE 13. APPLICABLE LAW - SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES
In the event that these terms and conditions are established in several languages, it is expressly understood that the French version shall be the only legally binding version. Consequently, the French version shall be expressly and exclusively referred to in case of difficulties of interpretation/application of any of the provisions hereof. The applicable law is French law. Should a dispute arise between the Parties regarding the validity, application, execution, termination/cancellation or interpretation of these terms and conditions, the Parties shall first endeavour to reach an amicable agreement.
