Special Terms and Conditions applicable to the sale of “Official Travel” Tickets valid for all the matches of Rugby World Cup 2023

1. SCOPE AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE SPECIAL TERMS OF SALE (T&Cs)

These Special Terms and Conditions govern the sale of the tickets issued for the Rugby World Cup 2023 (the “Tournament”) that are acquired as part of a package that both grants their holders the right to watch one of the matches of the Tournament (a “Match of the Tournament”) and is bundled with inseparable travel and/or accommodation services (the “Ticket”).

The Tickets can only be bought from RUGBY HOSPITALITES ET VOYAGES (“FRANCE 2023”) or an official agent or other sales channel authorised by France 2023.

These T&Cs apply to any natural or legal person who acquires one or more Tickets from France 2023 or from any official agent (the “BUYER”), and to any BENEFICIARY (i.e. any person that benefits, in any way whatsoever, from a Ticket bought by the BUYER), each of whom being referred to as a “HOLDER”. FRANCE 2023 is entitled to modify these T&Cs from time to time, without notice. The version of the T&Cs that is applicable is the version accepted on the date on which the Ticket is bought.

The BUYER’s placing of any order is confirmation of the BUYER’s full acceptance of these T&Cs. The BUYER hereby stands surety for the BENEFICIARY’s compliance with these T&Cs. The validation of the Ticket, and the HOLDER’s entry into any ticketed area of a stadium, will be tantamount to the HOLDER’s irrevocable acceptance of the terms and conditions which are applicable in all the stadiums in which Rugby World Cup 2023 matches will take place (the “Stadium Rules and Regulations”), which will be sent by e-mail to the BUYER, who must then send them to the BENEFICIARIES. The Stadium Rules and Regulations will also be displayed at the entrance to each stadium and are available to view on the Website of FRANCE 2023. Any HOLDER who does not comply with these Stadium Rules and Regulations may be denied access to the stadium or may be expelled from it without being entitled to claim a refund for their Ticket. These T&Cs will prevail over the provisions of the Stadium Rules and Regulations in case of any conflict.

Any terms that conflict with these T&Cs or the Stadium Rules and Regulations, such as any other contractual terms, are unenforceable against FRANCE 2023. No special terms and conditions will prevail over these T&Cs unless the parties expressly provide otherwise. These T&Cs will also prevail over the General Terms of Sale applicable to the Official Box Office of FRANCE 2023.

2. PURCHASE AND DELIVERY OF THE TICKETS
