These general terms and conditions of sale apply to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions, and in particular those applicable to sales in shops or by means of other distribution and marketing channels.
They are accessible on the website www.colorbus.fr and will prevail, if necessary, on any other version or any other contradictory document.
COLORBÜS and the Passenger agree that these terms and conditions exclusively govern their relationship. COLORBÜS reserves the right to modify its general conditions from time to time. They will be applicable as of their setting on line and only for the later sales.
If a condition of sale were to be lacking, it would be considered to be governed by the practices in force in the sector of the remote sale whose companies have their seat in France.
The purpose of the present general conditions is to define the rights and obligations of the Parties within the framework of the online sale of e-Tickets offered by COLORBÜS to individuals, from the website www.colorbus.fr.

The Voucher can only be activated once, for one or two days depending on the Order.
Any Order implies acceptance of the prices and descriptions of the products available for sale.
The provision of the Passenger’s credit card number online and the final validation of the Order shall constitute proof of the Passenger’s agreement to these general terms and conditions and the payability of the sums due in respect of the Order.
Confirmation of the Order is materialised by the sending of an e-mail to the Passenger containing the details of the Order and indicating the Tour references.

The Passenger guarantees to COLORBÜS that he has the necessary authorisations to use the method of payment chosen by him, when validating the order form.
COLORBÜS reserves the right to suspend any management of Order in the event of refusal of authorization of payment by bank card on behalf of the officially accredited organizations or in the event of non-payment.

Within the framework of this verification, the Passenger may be asked to send, by any means, to COLORBÜS a copy of an identity document as well as a proof of residence. The Order will then be validated only after reception and verification by COLORBÜS of the documents sent.
The payment of the price is carried out cash with the Order.

Any circumstances beyond the control of the Parties preventing the performance under normal conditions of their obligations shall be considered as grounds for exoneration from the obligations of the Parties and shall result in their suspension.
The Party that invokes the above-mentioned circumstances must immediately notify the other Party of their occurrence, as well as of their disappearance.
All facts or circumstances that are irresistible, external to the Parties, unforeseeable, unavoidable, beyond the control of the Parties and which cannot be prevented by the latter, despite all reasonable efforts, shall be considered as force majeure.
