Article 4. PRICES

All orders, whatever their origin, are payable in euros.

The prices of our packages are indicated in euros, inclusive of all taxes (VAT and other taxes applicable on the day of the order), unless otherwise indicated and exclusive of processing and shipping charges.

The charges for the areas are indicated on the Media and may vary depending on the season. When the areas are owned by local authorities, the rates are voted on by the Town Councils. 

The majority of Areas are also eligible for tourist tax. Where applicable, the amount is indicated on the various Media. 

For orders to countries other than mainland France, the Customer is the importer of the Service(s) concerned. Customs duties or other local taxes or import duties or state taxes may be payable. These rights and sums are not the responsibility of CAMPING-CAR PARK. They will be at your expense and are your full responsibility, both in terms of declarations and payment to the authorities and competent bodies in your country. We advise you to check these aspects with your local authorities.

The contractual information is presented in French and will be confirmed at the latest when your order is validated.

Fraudulent use of the Media or use that contravenes these GTC may result in CCP refusing access to the Service offered on the said Media at any time, even if the Service has been confirmed.

 

Article 7. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICES OFFERED

7.1. Order process

Subscription to the Services is made on the Media after creating a customer account. Once the account has been created, the Customer can carry out the various operations described below: 

- Order a PASS’ÉTAPES card

This requires the customer to enter various identification details (surname, first name, email address, mobile phone number, postcode, number plate and country of residence). It is not possible to order a PASS’ÉTAPES card if an account already exists with the email address or mobile phone number used. 

When the PASS’ÉTAPES is being purchased, it is also necessary to top up the PASS’ÉTAPES card account by a minimum amount defined in the Annexes to these General Terms and Conditions. 

Once the above information has been filled in and validated, the order should be paid for at the current price. When the payment is validated, the PASS’ÉTAPES card is issued and the card account credited with the amount specified when the order was placed (recharge). 

Depending on the Medium used, the PASS’ÉTAPES card is issued to the Customer immediately or sent by post. In the latter case, processing is carried out by the CCP services and then the PASS’ÉTAPES card is sent by post within approximately ten days. The PASS'ÉTAPES card will be sent by CCP to the address indicated by the Customer when placing the Order.

Depending on the Customer situation, the PASS’ÉTAPES card may also be issued to the Customer when they access the Area for the first time from the Payment Terminal.

Transfer of risk. The risks of loss, theft or damage to the PASS’ÉTAPES card are transferred to the Customer at the time of delivery to the PASS’ÉTAPES card. In the event of loss, theft or damage, any reissue request will be invoiced to the Customer as defined in the Annexes to the General Terms and Conditions. 

- Recharge the PASS’ÉTAPES card account

The PASS’ÉTAPES card account can be topped up at any time from any CCP medium. To do this, simply specify the amount to be topped up on the account (minimum €10 - maximum €999) and then proceed with the payment. 

During a stay (not booked), Customers must ensure that their PASS’ÉTAPES card account has sufficient funds to cover the full cost of the Stay from the first day of the Stay. 

Once this has been validated, the corresponding amount is credited to the Customer’s PASS’ÉTAPES card account. It then becomes immediately available to pay for various Services and in particular Stays (not booked) in the network’s areas. 

- Activate or renew a PACK’PRIVILÈGES

The PACKʼPRIVILÈGES is a virtual good. It is therefore available as soon as the purchase or renewal order has been validated. 

The PACKʼPRIVILÈGES can be purchased from the Website, the mobile Application or with the help of CCP Customer Service Operator. To purchase the PACKʼPRIVILÈGES, log in to your account and go to the page provided for this purpose; you can purchase 1 or more years of subscription at any time. 

Once the delivery and invoicing addresses have been entered, the Customer proceeds to the payment of the corresponding amount. The 

PACKʼPRIVILÈGES can then be used immediately to take advantage of its benefits, including bookings. The PACKʼPRIVILÈGES is renewed tacitly unless the Customer gives a counter-order. 

The complete GENERAL CONDITIONS of the PACKʼPRIVILÈGES are available here.

- Stay at an Area (not booked) 

Once in possession of the PASS’ÉTAPES card account, the Customer may enter the Areas of the network (depending on the vehicle and the period as indicated in Article 2). 

Stays (not booked) are billed per 24-hour period. These Stays are reserved for Customers travelling with a vehicle that must pass through the barrier, as defined in Article 2. 

To enter the Area, customers present their PASS’ÉTAPES card in front of the badge reader at the entrance Terminal. The date, time and identification of the PASS’ÉTAPES are recorded as an entry movement by the CCP I.S. The Customer can then park and/or use the services available on site. 

When leaving the Area, customers present their PASS’ÉTAPES card again. The date, time and identification of the PASS’ÉTAPES are recorded by the CCP I.S. as an exit movement. The sum corresponding to the amount of the stay in progress at the time of exit must be available on the customer’s PASS’ÉTAPES card account to open the barrier and let the vehicle out. 

Rules apply if the customer does not present their PASSʼÉTAPES card on each entry or exit. 

The Customer may enter and leave the Area as often as required, as long as there is a pitch left in the Area for the Customer to return to (including booked pitches). After leaving the Area, the Customer has a maximum of 24 hours in which to re-enter the site and resume their stay (and therefore their rate). Any attempt to block a pitch by leaving personal belongings or a secondary vehicle (including a caravan) without having made a reservation is liable to penalties and legal action. This is a clear case of illegal occupation (no payment, no card, wrong name, etc.) - Article 322-15-1 of the French Penal Code. 

- Book a stay in advance of for the same day

Subject to availability at the time of booking, a stay in an Area can be booked in advance or for the same day (conditions apply). 

These stays can be booked from 6 months to 48 hours in advance (except in exceptional cases) or for the same day (Sécuriplace). A booking gives the Customer the right to enter and leave the area without worrying about the availability of the Area for the entire duration of the booking, but only for the duration of the booking. 

In order to book, the Customer must either visit the Website, the mobile Application or contact the Customer Service. A booking is valid from midday (12 p.m.) on the first day to midday (12 p.m.) on the last day. 

Payment of the booking is effective on the day of the Order. Payment for the Order by the Customer is made to CCP by entering his/her bank card number on one of the Media using Payline, a secure payment system. Cards from the Carte Bleue, Visa and Eurocard/Mastercard networks are accepted. 

Should payment be irregular, incomplete or non-existent, for any reason whatsoever, the sale of the Service will be refused and the Order cancelled. 

Once the Area and dates of stay have been defined, the Customer must confirm their delivery and invoicing address and then pay the corresponding amount. Once this has been validated, an order confirmation will be sent to the Customer. The Customer must then go to the entrance Terminal of the concerned Area on the day and within the time slot of their booking and present their PASS’ÉTAPES card. The barrier opens. 

Any overrun before or after the booking times (as defined above) will be treated as a Stay (not booked) and billed according to the actual times of entry and exit. In all cases, customers must use their PASS’ÉTAPES card to enter or leave the Area. 

- Order a road map 

The Road Map is available to Customers free of charge at CCP’s head office, at Tourist Offices towns where there is a CAMPING-CAR PARK Area and at Recreational vehicles dealers (list of addresses available on the CCP Website). It can also be ordered from the Website: https://www.campingcarpark.shop/

 

7.2. Media available for ordering

The Customer may place an order for a CCP Service after validation these General Terms and Conditions: 

  • Directly on the CCP Website or mobile Application. 
  • Directly at the entrance to the Area from a Payment terminal (PASS’ÉTAPES card sales and top-up only).
  • By telephone on +33.1.83.64.69.21 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. 7 days a week and from 7 a.m. to midnight in July and August. 

It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the contact details they provide when creating their account are correct and that they will enable them to receive information relating the Services ordered, in particular: 

  • The postal address (for issuing accounting documents and also for receiving the PASS’ÉTAPES card)
  • The email address (to receive all the confirmation elements for the Services purchased by the Customer or in order to be warned in the event of a problem during a stay in an Area - CCP is likely to activate a Risk Prevention Plan - Fire, Flood, etc - at the request of the local authority). 
  • The mobile phone number (so that you can be alerted in the event of a problem during your stay in an Area - CCP is likely to activate a Risk Prevention Plan - Fire, Flood, etc - at the request of the local authority) 
  • The number plate (to manage entries and exits from certain areas)
  • These elements must be kept up to date over time by the Customer using one of the CCP media. 

The use of a false identity is considered a swindle under the law: 

Article 313-1 of the French Penal Code: ‘Fraudulent obtaining is the act of deceiving a natural or legal person by the use of a false name or a fictitious capacity, by the abuse of a genuine capacity, or by means of unlawful manoeuvres, thereby to lead such a person, to his prejudice or to the prejudice of a third party, to transfer funds, valuables or any property, to provide a service or to consent to an act incurring or discharging an obligation. Fraudulent obtaining is punished by five years' imprisonment and a fine of €375,000.’

In the event that the Customer does not receive information from CCP, it is the Customer’s responsibility to contact the Customer Service of CAMPING-CAR PARK by telephone or via the contact form in order to report this. 

CCP reserves the right, without having to inform the Customer in advance, to modify the technical functionalities enabling consultation and placing Orders from the various Media. 

 

7.3. PASS’ÉTAPES operating rules 

Unless special arrangements are proposed by CCP, subscription to the account and the issue of the PASS’ÉTAPES card are subject to payment of the Service. 

By validating the creation of their account and the purchase of the PASS’ÉTAPES, the Customer declares that they accept these General Terms and Conditions and the rates detailed in the Annexes

CCP is free to refuse an application for membership for a legitimate reason, such as the termination of a previous account for fraud or non-payment. 

7.3.1. Validity of the PASSʼÉTAPES card

The PASS’ÉTAPES card is valid for life

7.3.2. Price of the PASSʼÉTAPES card

The price of the PASS’ÉTAPES is indicated on the various Media in euros inclusive of all taxes (VAT and other taxes applicable on the day of the order), unless otherwise indicated and exclusive of processing and shipping charges. 

A processing fee will be charged as specified in the Annexes under ‘PASS’ÉTAPES’ > ‘Purchase’, ‘Processing costs’.

Shipping charges will be invoiced as specified in the Annexes under ‘PASS’ÉTAPES’ > ‘Purchase’, ‘Shipping costs’.

All orders, whatever their origins, are payable in euros. 

CCP reserves the right to change its prices at any time. The product will be invoiced on the basis of the rate applicable at the time the order is validated and subject to availability. 

7.3.3. Applicable regulations 

The holder of the PASS’ÉTAPES card must comply with the police and operating regulations applicable to the Areas. The Customer is responsible for the use of the access card issued and undertakes to comply with all the instructions for use brought to his attention, and in particular to comply with the CAMPING-CAR PARK member charter (see the Annexes under the section Member Charter). 

If the instructions for using the PASS’ÉTAPES card are not followed, the service may be degraded and the Customer risks billing anomalies. 

It is the actual presence of a valid and active card that enables the Customer to avail himself of his Customer status and the prerogatives attached thereto. Under these conditions, the transaction prevails and excludes any other method of payment of the sum due, even partial payment. If the Customer wishes to pay the amount due outside the framework of the account, he/she must not use the PASS’ÉTAPS card. It is linked to its Customer and may be used by the Customer in different vehicles. 

The PASS’ÉTAPES card Customer linked to the CAMPING-CAR PARK account is responsible for any use of the latter and for any consumption linked to its use. 

7.3.4. Withdrawal of the PASSʼÉTAPES

The right to withdraw from the PASS’ÉTAPES card purchase applies under the normal conditions specified in article L.221-18 of the French Consumer Code. The Customer has a withdrawal period of 14 days from receipt of the PASS’ÉTAPES card to exercise his right of withdrawal without having to give any reasons or incur any costs other than those specified in articles L.221-23 to L.221-25. 

CCP informs that the return fees of the PASS’ÉTAPES card shall be borne by the Customer. Returns must be made in their original condition and complete (packaging, accessories, leaflet). The Customer is responsible for any such returns. Any damage suffered by the product on this occasion may lead to the loss of the right of withdrawal. 

The right to withdraw from the purchase of a PASS’ÉTAPES card and its options only applies if the card has not been used. Once the PASS’ÉTAPES card has been used to access an Area, it is considered that this access is a service fully used (access to the Area with or without a Stay). 

The refund will be made to the Customer’s account or credit card. 

If you wish to withdraw from your purchase, please complete the form below and return it to CAMPING-CAR PARK: 

To the attention to the ‘Service Rétractation et Résiliation’ (Withdrawal and Cancellation Department) CAMPING-CAR PARK located at 3 RUE DU DOCTEUR ANGE GUÉPIN in PORNIC 44210 FRANCE - contact@campingcarpark.com:

(*) Delete as appropriate.

7.3.5. Replacement, withdrawal of the PASSʼÉTAPES card

The account linked to the PASS’ÉTAPES card remains the property of CAMPING-CAR PARK and the latter may take the initiative to withdraw and/or replace it in the event of termination of the account by CCP, fraud, alteration or counterfeiting of the card or incompatibility with the improvements made to the Aires operating system. 

In the event of technical failure of the card, or to prevent any incident linked to its normal wear and tear, CCP will replace it free of charge as soon as possible against return of the old card. If, after verification, the fault is attributable to the Customer, CCP will invoice the Customer for the cost of the damaged PASS’ÉTAPES card (see the Annexes under ‘PASS’ÉTAPES’ > ‘Wear’). The replacement of a defective PASS’ÉTAPES card entails its return within 30 days. Once this period has expired, the card will be blocked and a non-return fee (see the Annexes) will be charged. 

The rental and/or sale of the PASS’ÉTAPES card by the Customer is prohibited under penalty of immediate termination of the account. 

7.3.6. Opposing the use of the PASS’ÉTAPES card 

The Customer may only oppose the use of the PASS’ÉTAPES card if it is lost or stolen. 

Any opposition must be notified immediately to the Customer Service of CAMPING-CAR PARK in writing (post or email), quoting the card number. 

The PASS’ÉTAPES card will be invalidated upon receipt of the above declaration. CCP shall not be held liable for the consequences of any opposition that does not come from the Customer or his/her authorised representative. At the Customer’s request, a PASS’ÉTAPES card with a different number will be issued as soon as possible. Except in the event of a malfunction attributable to CCP, any issue of a new PASS’ÉTAPES card will be invoiced to the Customer, including in the event of loss or theft (see the Annexes under ‘PASS’ÉTAPES’ > ‘Loss’). 

If the Customer recovers the PASS’ÉTAPES card declared lost or stolen, it must be returned by registered post to the CS of CCP. The Customer’s use of a PASS’ÉTAPES card declared lost or stolen is considered improper and may result in the termination of this account. 

If the PASS’ÉTAPES card has not been returned within 30 days, a non-return fee will be charged (see the Annexes under ‘PASS’ÉTAPES’ > ‘Non-return fee’). 

7.3.7. Return of the PASS’ÉTAPES card

A. At the CCP’s initiative 

In all cases where CCP requests the return of the PASS’ÉTAPES card (in particular in the event of replacement of the card that has been blocked and found by the Customer or in the event of non-return when the account is terminated), the Customer must return it within 30 days from notification by CCP. 

Amounts due at the CAMPING-CAR PARK areas by means of improperly used PASS’ÉTAPES cards will be demanded independently of any penal proceedings that CCP reserves the right to initiate. 

If the access card is returned in poor condition, a damage fee will be charged (see the Annexes under ‘PASS’ÉTAPES’ > ‘Card damage fee’). 

If the PASS’ÉTAPES card is not returned within 30 days, a non-return fee will be charged (Non-return fee).

B. At the Customer’s initiative 

The Customer may return the PASS’ÉTAPES card at any time. The return of a PASS’ÉTAPES card in poor working condition will lead to the card being invoiced at the current rate. The return of the PASS’ÉTAPES card is made without prejudice to the special conditions relating to the management fees attached to the account. 

If the PASS’ÉTAPES card is returned in poor physical condition (pen marks, scratches, etc.), a damage fee will be charged (see the Annexes under ‘PASS’ÉTAPES’ > ‘Card damage fee’). 

 

7.4. PACKʼPRIVILÈGES operating rules 

See the PACK’PRIVILÈGES terms and conditions 

 

7.5 Operating rules for stays (whether booked or not) 

7.5.1. Access to the Areas

To access the Areas, whether the Stay is booked or not, you generally only need to present your PASS’ÉTAPES card. However, in some exceptional circumstances, it may be necessary to enter a code on the entrance terminal (DIGICODE). This procedure, known as ‘degraded mode’, generally relates to a technical problem and is in fact managed by the Customer Service. The Customer must therefore contact them when their PASS’ÉTAPES card is ineffective, so that they can open the barrier and record the movement. An indication is usually given by a display located on the entrance and exit terminals. This briefly explains the reason why the barrier will not open on entry or exit. 

Once in the Area, the Customer does not need to display any document on the vehicle in order to justify their stay. 

7.5.2. Validity period of booked Stays

A Stay ordered by the Customer corresponds to a booking for a date/time for the start of the Service and a date/time for the end of the Service. The Service includes as many entries and exits from the Area as the Customer wishes. 

For booked Stays, the Customer benefits from a courtesy period corresponding to an authorised overrun of 5 minutes after the exit time specified in the booking, without having to pay any extra charge. Once the reserved time slot has expired, the pitch that was reserved for the Customer will be made available to other Customers in the car park, and its availability is no longer guaranteed to the Customer. 

For early arrivals and overstays (early arrival or late departure outside the courtesy period), the Customer must pay a supplement on site corresponding to the length of the Stay in addition to the duration initially ordered: 

  • New 24-hour period or short stay depending on actual arrival time
  • New 24-hour period if exit after the initial stay

The overrun will be calculated in accordance with the Area’s conditions.

No refund will be made in the event of early departure. 

7.5.3. Rules for purchasing a booking

Booking prices are per night from 12 p.m. (midday) on the first day to 12 p.m. (midday) on the last day. 

In order to book, the Customer must have a valid PACK’PRIVILÈGES at the time of the booked Stay. 

No Stay of more than 21 days is allowed within a 30-day period. A PASS’ÉTAPES card holder will have to wait a period of 30 days before returning to the same area. 

7.5.4. Booking modification 

In order to change a booking, the Customer must contact the Customer Service during opening hours. 

Any costs incurred due to a booking change will be payable to CCP. All changes must be confirmed to CCP by post or email. For any booking modification, charges will be deducted according to the scale indicated in the Annexes in force under ‘Modification of stay’. 

However, CCP cannot guarantee the availability of a pitch in the Area. Therefore, if a modification of the booking is not possible, the Customer will have to accept the original booking or will be subject to the cancellation conditions in accordance with clause 7.5.5 if they wish to cancel their booking. 

7.5.5 Booking cancellation 

In order to cancel a booking, the Customer must notify CCP by post or email within the specified time limit. The date on which the cancellation is taken into account is the date of dispatch of the email or the postmark, depending on the method of delivery. 

All costs incurred due to the cancellation of a booking will be payable to CCP. For all booking cancellations, charges will be deducted in accordance with the scale indicated in the current Annexes under ‘Cancellation of stay’. For compelling reasons, justification must be provided with the cancellation request. 

7.5.6. No-show

If the customer does not show up on the day of the booking day, the total amount of the booking remains due to CCP.

 

Article 8. INVOICING AND PAYMENT

8.1. Invoicing elements 

The sums due in respect of the sale of a Service to the Customer are invoiced to the Customer at the time the Service is purchased. 

For the PASS’ÉTAPES and the PACK’PRIVILÈGES, the invoice is issued as soon as the Customer makes the purchase, regardless of the Medium. The invoice is available from the CAMPING-CAR PARK Website. 

For Stays (not booked), the invoice will be issued and will be available on the CAMPING-CAR PARK Website at the final closure of the Stay, i.e. 24 hours after the final departure of the Area. 

For Booked stays, the invoice will be issued and will be available on the CAMPING-CAR PARK Website 24 hours after the scheduled end date and time of the booking. 

For Stays, the transaction recorded when entering and leaving the Area constitutes proof of passage. 

The electronic invoice is made available in PDF format on the ‘Personal Space’ for 3 months. The Customer must provide a valid email address in order to activate their ‘Personal Space’ and access their invoices. All invoices issued are based on the data provided by the Customer at the time of the order. These details cannot be changed once the invoice has been issued. 

 

8.2. Invoice payment

All invoices are payable in euros. 

 

8.3. Handling outstanding payments - effects

In the event of payment by bank card and if the initial payment is rejected, a second payment for the same amount may be made. If the invoice is not paid in full, a formal notice to pay will be sent to the Customer by CCP. The special terms and conditions may provide for this formal notice to be preceded by a second presentation of the invoice by regular mail. The formal notice shall specify the amount outstanding.

Except in the case of special CCP conditions, late payment penalties - defined in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in article L.441-6 of the French Commercial Code - will be applied to the outstanding sums; all Services performed/used and not yet invoiced will then become immediately due and payable; 

If necessary, the Customer is obliged to return the PASS’ÉTAPES card. The special terms and conditions may provide that CCP shall accompany this formal notice and, where applicable, the second presentation of the invoice, with suspension measures by placing the PASS’ÉTAPES card on hold until payment is received. If payment is not received within the period specified in the formal notice, the account shall be terminated automatically unless CCP grants the Customer an additional period in which to fulfill its obligation, during which it may keep the PASS’ÉTAPES card in opposition until payment is received. The Customer is informed that a period of time may be required to reactivate the PASS’ÉTAPES card in the event of payment after a period of opposition. In the event of recovery by way of legal enforcement, the Customer shall also be required to pay CCP the costs resulting from legal execution. The Customer declares that he/she is aware that CCP benefits from a subrogation granted by the Partners for the amicable and judicial recovery of debts arising from this account. 

If invoices are not paid in full, the formal notice letter will be preceded by a simple reminder letter or email and the PASS’ÉTAPES card will be blocked. 

In the event of termination for non-payment, it will not be possible to subscribe to a new account for a period of 6 months following the regularisation of the file. During the 6 months followed, the subscription of a new account will be subject to the deposit of a payment guarantee (see article IV.2),

The rate of late payment penalties is set at 18% per year. 

 

8.4. Late payment

Any payment delay will, without prior notice and by operation of law, give rise to late payment interest at the applicable legal rate. 

 

Article 9. ACCEPTANCE OF THE GTC, CONTRACTUAL AMENDMENTS  AND SERVICE RATES

9.1. Acceptance

The Customer confirms that he/she has read and accepted these General Terms and Conditions at the time placing the Order. 

 

9.2. Contractual and Tariffs modifications

CCP reserves the right to modify these General Terms and Conditions at any time and without prior notice. In the event of modification, the General Terms and Conditions applicable to the Customer shall be those in force on the date on which the Order is placed.

  • Manual delivery of the PASS’ÉTAPES card on a working payment terminal
  • Postal dispatch of the PASS’ÉTAPES card
  • Account closure
  • Action on the PASS’ÉTAPES card account (account merger, transfer from one account to another, etc.) 

 

9.4. Penalties 

All Customers are required to comply with all the stipulations of this Contract, in particular the rules set out in the CAMPING-CAR PARK Member Charter (see the Annexes under ‘Member Charter’). In order to maintain its level of Services and ensure that Customers apply these rules of use, CCP reserves the right to apply penalties in the following cases: 

  • PASS’ÉTAPES deterioration fee: if the PASSʼÉTAPES card is not returned.
  • Fee for non-return of the PASS’ÉTAPES: if the PASSʼÉTAPES card is returned, at the initiative of CCP or the Customer, in poor physical condition (pen marks, scratches, etc.) 
  • Invalid entry information: the entry movement in the Area has not been recorded or does not correspond to the data collected by the CCP equipment. 
  • Invalid exit information: the exit movement from the Area has not been registered or does not correspond to the data collected by the CCP equipment. 
  • Non-respect of parking rules: Customers must park correctly on the Pitch and ensure that they do not encroach on a neighbouring pitch. If any sign indicates that a Pitch is privatised, they must not park there. In the event of failure to comply with any of these rules, the Customer will be invoiced a fee for ‘Non-compliance with parking regulations’ of the amount shown in the annex to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
  • Exceeding the time slot: Any excess of the authorised departure time (i.e. the entry time for a stay (not booked) and 12 p.m. for a booking) and an early arrival on booking (before 12 p.m.) will result in the creation of a new Stay for which the customer must pay. 
  • Non-respect of access rules: if there is a malfunction of the PASS’ÉTAPES card or the equipment (open barrier, no electricity, faulty badge reader, etc.), the Customer must inform the CS as soon as possible. The latter will manually record the Customer’s entry or exit movement. At the time of departure, the registration having been carried out by the CS, the Customer will be invoiced according to the information transmitted and the actual time of passage through the exit terminal. If the Customer has not informed the CS, the barrier remains closed when the PASS’ÉTAPES card is read, and the Customer must then contact the CS to rectify the situation. If the Customer does not comply with any of these rules, he/she will be charged a fee of ‘Non-compliance with access rules’ of the amount shown in the Annexes to these General Terms and Conditions.
  • Unpaid invoice: See 8.3 of these General Terms and Conditions. 
  • Fraud / False declaration: Any Customer parking or having a third party park without authorisation, or parking two or more vehicles, shall be liable to a penalty involving the regularisation of the invoicing for the fraudulent parking as well as a penalty of the amount shown in the Annexes to the General Terms and Conditions. The account(s) concerned will also be terminated immediately by right. 

 

Article 10. AMICABLE COMPLAINT

Any amicable complaint concerning the elements of an invoice shall be admissible for a period of 90 days from the date of issue and must be submitted exclusively to CCP by post or by email addresses to the head office, the details of which appear on the header of the invoice, mentioning the number of the PASS’ÉTAPES card. A complaint does not exempt the Customer from paying the disputed invoice. CCP will carry out an investigation in the event of a complaint. 

Any corrections made as a result of the investigation will be regularised at a later date. CCP will provide proof of the transaction(s) through the records made by its I.S.

We inform you of the possibility of having recourse, in the event of a dispute relating to these general terms and conditions, to a conventional mediation procedure or to any other alternative dispute resolution method, under the conditions set out in the Title I of Book VI of the French Consumer Code.

Under no circumstances will CCP be liable for indirect and/or immaterial, predictable or unpredictable damage (including loss of profits or opportunities, etc.) arising from the supply and/or use of the Services offered on the Media.  

Finally, as CCP cannot control all of the Media to which they refer via hypertext links, which exists only to facilitate Customer searches, CCP is in no way responsible for their content. 

The Customer declares that he/she is aware of the characteristics and limits of the Internet, in particular its technical performance, response times for consulting, querying or transferring data and the risks associated with the security of communications. 

CCP cannot accept any claim or refund relating to any non-performance or poor performance of the Service provided to the Customer and attributable either to the Customer, or to the act of a third party unrelated to the Service, or to a case of force majeure.
