1. Application and Enforceability of the Terms and Conditions

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are systematically provided to the Client when placing an order. Consequently, placing an order implies the Client’s full and unconditional adherence to these terms and conditions, to the exclusion of any other documents, such as brochures or catalogs issued by CDM Group, which are for informational purposes only.

If the client is a minor or otherwise incapacitated, they declare that they have the authorization of a parent, guardian, or legal representative. The fact that CDM Group does not invoke any of these terms at a given time cannot be interpreted as a waiver of the right to enforce them at a later date.

CDM Group reserves the right to modify these terms and any associated elements without notice. The new terms will apply retroactively to all relationships between CDM Group and its clients.

2. Purpose

4. Order Placement

The information provided by the Client when placing an order is binding: in case of error in the recipient’s contact details, CDM Group shall not be held responsible for the inability to deliver the necessary elements to the correct person or address.

Orders are only considered final once the payment has been confirmed and successfully processed.

Once the service elements (including event tickets and meal vouchers) have been dispatched, any modifications or cancellations by the Client cannot be considered, and no refunds will be issued. Service offers are valid while stocks last.

5. Delivery

The dispatch of service elements (tickets, meal vouchers, and more broadly any product or document related to the execution of the service) is carried out between the date of order and payment and, at the latest, the day before the event.

Delays in the dispatch of these elements cannot result in damages.

Delivery is made via email, WhatsApp, or registered mail with insurance.

The delivery process is the sole responsibility of postal services. CDM Group reserves the right to use any other provider for the delivery of service elements.

Since delivery is the sole responsibility of the appointed providers (La Poste, Chronopost, UPS, DHL, TNT, FedEx, and more broadly any delivery service provider), the Client waives any recourse against CDM Group regarding delivery issues.

Events such as war, riots, fires, strikes, accidents, and natural disasters are considered force majeure, exempting CDM Group from its obligation to deliver. CDM Group will keep the Client informed of such events as soon as possible.

In any case, timely dispatch can only occur if the Client has fulfilled all their obligations towards CDM Group.

Important: ticket prices may vary and differ from their face value.

8. Payment

Unless otherwise agreed, the Company requires full payment for the service upon order. Regardless of the payment method agreed between the parties, the payment is considered completed only after the funds have been successfully received.

9. Force majeure

Any delay in the execution of the service due to circumstances beyond CDM Group’s control cannot result in the cancellation of the order. CDM Group cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such delay.

  • Weather-related disasters such as frost, snow, or heavy rain
  • Thaw barriers
  • Fires, floods, or explosions for any reason
  • Strikes or work stoppages affecting either party or any of the service providers involved in the execution of the service

If the force majeure event lasts for more than three months, the Contract will be automatically terminated unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

CDM Group will inform the Client of such events in a timely manner.

10. Subcontracting

CDM Group reserves the right to subcontract all or part of this Contract to any company of its choice. If CDM Group subcontracts part of the service, the Client waives any recourse against CDM Group for the subcontracted services.

Only the subcontractor can be held liable by the Client. The Client must exercise any recourse against the subcontractor, designated or not by CDM Group, and cannot hold CDM Group responsible for the subcontracting.

  • in the event of a breakdown or technical issue, particularly related to programs, hardware or software, or the Internet network.

CDM Group cannot be held responsible for direct or indirect damages caused by data loss, fraudulent activities, hacking, the accidental transmission or spread of viruses or other harmful elements, or the actions or behavior of third parties or users.

The Client releases CDM Group, its employees, and its executives from any liability for any harm resulting from the use of the website or associated services, regardless of the cause invoked or the actual cause of the harm. Without limiting the scope of other provisions in these Terms and Conditions, the liability of CDM Group, if it were to be engaged, regardless of the form of action or cause, shall not exceed the total amount paid by the User to CDM Group.

Limitation: In the event that the Company's liability is brought into play, the damages and interest owed by the Company to the Client may not exceed, for all causes combined, to the full extent permitted by the applicable regulations, the sums paid by the Client under the Contract.

Exclusion: The Client is solely responsible for the choice of the service and its suitability for its needs, and the Company assumes no liability in this respect. The Client acknowledges that he/she has ordered the service in the quality and for the purpose for which it is intended. The Company shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect loss suffered by the Client under this Contract (such as loss of turnover, data, operations, brand image, etc.).

Client's Liability: In the event the Client's liability is invoked, the damages owed by the Client to the Company will be equal to the direct or indirect harm suffered by the Company. In any case, the termination of the contract due to the Client's failure to fulfill any of their obligations will not entitle the Client to a refund of the amounts already received by the Company. The Client also acknowledges that no credit or other compensation can be requested from the Company under such circumstances.

14. Personal data

In accordance with the law, the Client can at any time access their personal information and request its modification or deletion from CDM Group.

CDM Group only shares Users' personal data when necessary for the operation of the service and with their consent.

However, without disclosing the User's contact details, the Company may send Users commercial offers from itself or third parties. Each User can opt out by modifying their preferences with CDM Group.

The User authorizes CDM Group to retain and store their information confidentially for a period that shall not exceed the statutory limitation period for civil actions (Article 2262 of the Civil Code).

CDM Group reserves the right to disclose to third parties any information necessary if it is reasonably required to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or in response to any judicial or administrative request, or by the police or gendarmerie.

CDM Group also reserves the right to do so in order to protect itself, its users, or any third party.

15. Applicable texts and attribution of competence

These Terms and Conditions, as well as all relations between CDM Group and the Users, are exclusively governed by French law, regardless of the User's habitual residence and even in the case of a conflict of laws.

In the event of one of the provisions being considered illegal by a competent authority, the said provision shall simply be deemed unwritten, all other provisions retaining their binding force between the parties. Any dispute will be under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts.

16 - Internal regulations of each site

CDM Group acts only as an intermediary for the Organizers. As a result, these specific terms and conditions of sale apply solely to the sale of the package or tickets and not to the event itself.

It is specified that certain activities offered may be subject to an internal regulation specific to the Organizer or the relevant site, and that such regulations are available from the said site.
