However, any order consumed partially or fully is considered as a service that has already started and is therefore no longer the subject of withdrawal.

Invoices made to customers outside the European Union will be calculated without French VAT.

Tickets cannot be returned, exchanged, assigned, or refunded even in case of loss or theft. A Ticket can only be refunded in case of the event cancelation or due to the Organizer's decision.
