4. INFORMATION FOR USERS, WARNING, NATURE OF THE SERVICES


USERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE WEBSITE IS A SECONDARY TICKET MARKETPLACE CONNECTING INDIVIDUAL SELLERS OF TICKETS FOR VARIOUS SERVICES WITH BUYERS INTERESTED IN ACQUIRING SUCH TICKETS.


IT IS EXPRESSLY REMINDED THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT THE SELLER OF THE TICKETS OFFERED ON THE WEBSITE. AS A TECHNICAL INTERMEDIARY, THE COMPANY ONLY FACILITATES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SELLERS AND BUYERS AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE VALIDITY OF TICKETS SOLD BY USERS.


USERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPANY CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ISSUES RELATING TO TICKET VALIDITY, INCLUDING COUNTERFEIT, ALREADY USED OR INVALID TICKETS. BUYERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING TICKET VALIDITY PRIOR TO USE.


THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY IN THE EVENT OF DENIAL OF ACCESS TO A SERVICE DUE TO INVALID TICKETS. USERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BUYING AND SELLING TICKETS ON THE WEBSITE.


USERS ARE INFORMED THAT TICKET RESALE IS SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC REGULATIONS. PRIOR TO USING THE WEBSITE, USERS MUST ENSURE BY THEIR OWN MEANS THAT RESALE OF THEIR TICKETS IS AUTHORIZED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND BY THE RIGHTS HOLDERS. THE COMPANY PROVIDES NO GUARANTEE IN THIS RESPECT.


TICKET RESALE ON THE PLATFORM IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE TICKET. ANY RESALE ABOVE SUCH PRICE OR ANY PRACTICE SIMILAR TO SPECULATION IS PROHIBITED. THIS CAP CONTRIBUTES TO ENSURING FAIR PRICING AND OCCASIONAL USE OF THE SERVICE BY INDIVIDUALS.


THE PLATFORM IS EXCLUSIVELY INTENDED FOR OCCASIONAL, NON-PROFESSIONAL TICKET RESALE BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS. IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THIS MODEL, PASSETONBILLET MAY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF LISTINGS A USER MAY POST OVER A GIVEN PERIOD, TO AVOID ANY REPEATED, SYSTEMATIC OR REGULAR RESALE ACTIVITY.

The Website is a marketplace connecting Users to enable Ticket resale.


The Services provided by the Company include:

  • Posting and viewing Listings
  • Conducting Transactions between Buyer Users and Seller Users


The Company may modify, improve or discontinue the Services at any time without liability.

The User further declares that they have the knowledge, skills and resources, including human and technical resources, required to use the Services.


9. ACCESS TO THE SERVICES


Browsing the Website and viewing Listings is free of charge.


Access to the Listing and Transaction Services requires the User to follow the account creation process on the Website.


9.1. User Account Creation Request


The User must request creation of a User Account by completing the form available on the Website.


To this end, the User must provide the following information and documents:


  • Last name
  • First name
  • Gender
  • Phone number(s)
  • Date of birth
  • Email address used as the User identifier
  • Password and password confirmation

These elements are required to validate and finalize the User Account.


If the User does not provide them, the Company may not proceed with the account creation request.


Before validating account creation, the User must tick the box “I ACKNOWLEDGE HAVING READ THE TERMS OF USE AND I ACCEPT THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION.” This step is decisive and the User must not tick this box without having read and accepted all clauses of these Terms and the Personal Data Policy.


The User is informed that a valid email address is required to receive the account confirmation email.


The username and password constitute the User’s “Login Credentials”.


Account deletion


The User may request deletion of their account by contacting PasseTonBillet at:

support@passetonbillet.fr


Upon receipt of the request, PasseTonBillet will delete the account and associated data within a maximum period of one (1) month, unless otherwise required by applicable legal obligations.


Certain information may not be deleted immediately.

Payment Service Providers (PSPs) used by PasseTonBillet are subject to regulatory requirements that may oblige them to retain certain identity and transaction data for up to 5 years.

These obligations arise in particular from:


• anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulations

• accounting and tax obligations

• fraud prevention requirements


Data retained by PSPs is securely archived, is not used by PasseTonBillet, and may only be disclosed to competent authorities upon lawful request.


9.2. User Responsibility for Account Creation and Use


The User acknowledges full responsibility for use of their Login Credentials and for use of the Website.


The User warrants that they have all authorizations required to subscribe to the Services.

The User undertakes to perform all actions within their personal space under their own Login Credentials and acknowledges that all actions performed under such credentials shall be deemed performed by the User.


The User shall not allow any third party to use their User Account.


In case of loss, misuse or unauthorized use of Login Credentials by another user, the Company shall not be liable and the User must immediately notify the Company.


10. LISTING PUBLICATION TERMS


10.1. Conditions of Access to the Listing Publication Service


Posting a Listing is reserved to non-professional Users residing in the countries specified on the Website.


If there is any doubt as to the accuracy of the information provided, the Company may request additional evidence for verification and/or refuse publication of the Listing.


French law

The User acknowledges that any Ticket sale must be occasional. Sellers are strictly prohibited from carrying out this activity as a primary occupation. By using the platform, the Seller confirms that they act as an individual and not as a professional.


PasseTonBillet is intended to facilitate occasional Ticket resale between individuals. In order to preserve this model and ensure use consistent with the spirit of the service:


  • PasseTonBillet limits the number of Tickets that a single User may offer for sale over a given period, notably to avoid repeated or systematic use of the platform. By way of indication, a User may only publish a reasonable number of Listings over a twelve (12) month period, and this threshold may be adjusted according to operational needs.
  • This limitation aims to maintain strictly occasional use and prevent any activity that may be similar to regular, organized or professional resale. PasseTonBillet may implement automated or manual control tools to detect unusual or excessive activity.
  • PasseTonBillet reserves the right to suspend, restrict or delete any User account whose activity indicates excessive, repeated or non-compliant behavior, including in the event of a clear overrun of the reasonable Listing threshold or behavior suggesting regular resale activity.


10.2. Listing Description


The Seller must provide complete information about the electronic Ticket, including at minimum the event name and the sale price.


The Seller undertakes to provide all relevant information, including ticket categories and specific fares (standard, child, accessibility, etc.).


For Tickets assigned to a seat number, it is recommended to specify the seat numbers in the Listing description.


The Seller declares that the information provided in the Listing is accurate and truthful.


The Company may modify information displayed in the Listing or remove the Listing if such information is incorrect or does not reflect the original electronic Ticket.


10.3. Conditions Applicable to the Listing and the Ticket Offered for Sale


10.3.1. Lawfulness of Ticket Resale


In accordance with applicable law, the Seller is only authorized to post a Listing and sell a Ticket if, alternatively:

  • The Seller is expressly authorized by the Rights Holder of the Service to sell or offer Tickets for sale
  • The Company is authorized by the Rights Holder to operate a ticket exchange enabling Users to buy and sell Tickets directly between themselves


And in any event, cumulatively:

  • The Seller does not habitually offer Tickets for sale on the Company’s Website
  • The Ticket is not the proceeds of theft


10.3.2. Ticket Resale Price


The resale price is set freely by the Seller within the limits of applicable regulations and these Terms.


In accordance with the law of 27 June 1919, a maximum price is applied to each Listing: the resale price may not exceed the original purchase price of the Ticket, and no Ticket may be resold above face value.


A minimum price is also defined. By default, for all Events, the minimum price corresponds to 80% of the original purchase price. However, depending on agreements with Organizers or the specificities of certain Events, this minimum price may be adjusted.


The Company may remove, without prior notice, any Listing whose resale price does not comply with applicable regulations or these Terms.


Any attempt to resell above the original purchase price may result in temporary or permanent suspension of the User’s account where such behavior suggests speculation or use contrary to the intended purpose of the service.


10.3.3. Original Ticket File


The Seller must upload an original digital Ticket file.

Scanned tickets, photos, or modified files are strictly prohibited.


10.4. Exclusivity Relating to the Ticket Offered for Sale


The Seller may withdraw their offer as long as the electronic Ticket has not been sold.


The Company strongly discourages Sellers from offering Tickets for sale through other websites or channels. However, if a sale occurs outside the Website, the Seller undertakes to immediately remove the corresponding Listing.


Once the electronic Ticket has been paid for by a Buyer under Article 11.3, the Seller irrevocably undertakes to sell it to the Buyer.


The Seller is informed that upon payment by the Buyer, a binding and final contract is formed between them. In the event of withdrawal or unavailability of the Ticket, the Seller may incur liability.


11. TRANSACTION PROCESS


11.1. Selecting a Ticket


The Buyer selects on the Website the Ticket they wish to purchase.

They are redirected to the payment page summarizing the total Transaction price and accepted payment methods, as defined in Article 11.1.


11.2. IMPORTANT WARNING ABOUT THE RISKS OF BUYING TICKETS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS


THE BUYER IS INFORMED AND ACCEPTS THAT PURCHASING ELECTRONIC TICKETS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS INVOLVES CERTAIN RISKS.


IN PARTICULAR, THE BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS THE FOLLOWING:

Although the Company endeavors to verify Transactions as best as possible, it cannot guarantee the validity of each Ticket offered for sale. All Tickets are listed by individuals and not by the Company, which shall not bear liability in this respect.


11.2.1. Ticket Validity


Accordingly, the validity of electronic Tickets purchased via the Website cannot be guaranteed by the Company. The Buyer expressly acknowledges and accepts that there is a risk that Tickets purchased may be counterfeit, forged or already used, and may not grant access to the Service.


11.2.2. Access to the Service


The Company does not guarantee that purchased Tickets will effectively provide access to the Service. The Buyer expressly acknowledges and accepts that access may be refused if Tickets are considered invalid for any reason, including conflict with the Rights Holder’s terms and conditions.


The Buyer is informed that Tickets may be name-based and may require presentation of an identity document matching the name on the Ticket, failing which access may be denied.


The Buyer must therefore inform themselves prior to any Transaction of any access restrictions and conditions of use applicable to the Service.


By accepting these Terms, the Buyer acknowledges having read the risks of buying Tickets between individuals and agrees to assume full responsibility in case of Ticket validity or access issues.


The Company disclaims any liability in this respect.


11.3. Acceptance of the Terms


Before payment, the User must have read and accepted these Terms and the terms of Stripe, by ticking the following boxes:

  • I ACKNOWLEDGE HAVING READ THE TERMS OF USE AND I ACCEPT THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION.
  • I ACCEPT STRIPE’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
  • I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE RISKS OF BUYING TICKETS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING THEIR VALIDITY, AND THAT I HAVE INFORMED MYSELF IN ADVANCE ABOUT THE TICKET CHARACTERISTICS, INCLUDING ANY NAME-BASED NATURE, AND ANY ACCESS RESTRICTIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USE THAT MAY APPLY.


This step is decisive and the Buyer must not tick these boxes without having read and accepted all clauses of these Terms and Stripe’s terms.


11.4. Conclusion of the Sale Between Users, Cancellation and Right of Withdrawal


Upon payment by the Buyer under Article 11.1, the Transaction between the Buyer and the Seller is deemed binding and final, without prior validation by the Seller.


Accordingly, Tickets purchased on the Website are neither exchangeable nor refundable, which the Buyer expressly acknowledges and accepts.


Furthermore, for sales between individuals, any right of withdrawal by the Buyer relating to a Transaction is excluded.


12. FINANCIAL TERMS


12.1. Payment of the Price by the Buyer


After validating their order, the Buyer pays the total Transaction amount comprising:

  • The Ticket price set by the Seller
  • Buyer Service Fees and Transaction Fees


12.1.1. Buyer Service Fees and Transaction Fees


The Company charges service and transaction fees for each Transaction, corresponding to (i) the fees charged to the Buyer for connecting them with the Seller and for use of the Website and (ii) fees and costs associated with financial processing of a Transaction.


Applicable Buyer Service Fees and Transaction Fees are displayed on the Website at checkout and may be modified at any time. Changes apply immediately to new Transactions after the update.


Service fees vary by category and event and are generally 10% of the Ticket sale price (VAT included).

Transaction fees correspond to costs associated with the financial processing of a Transaction, including banking fees, card payment fees and online payment platform commissions, and are 5% of the Ticket sale price (VAT included).


These fees are borne by the Buyer, with a minimum amount of €5 including VAT applied to each Transaction. All displayed fees are inclusive of all taxes.


Any attempt to circumvent Buyer Service Fees and Transaction Fees is prohibited and may be considered fraudulent.


12.1.2. Payment Methods


Payment is made in EUR by bank card (Visa, Mastercard) via the secure online payment platform operated by Stripe, accessible at https://stripe.com/fr.


By using Stripe, the User accepts Stripe’s terms of sale, available at: https://stripe.com/fr/resources/more/general-terms-and-conditions-of-sale-france


The Company never has access to confidential payment information, even if the User chooses to store payment data on the Website.


The transaction is secured via SSL encryption and aims to protect personal data linked to payment methods.


The User warrants they are authorized to use the chosen payment method and have sufficient funds.


Computer records kept in the Company’s systems under reasonable security conditions shall constitute evidence of Transactions and payments between the Parties.


Payment is processed and managed directly by Stripe. The Company has no control over payment, currency conversion or fund transfers, nor over fees related to these operations. Stripe is solely responsible for payment conditions and operations.


12.2. Payout to the Seller


Payout of the Ticket price to the Seller is subject to the following conditions:



Payout Procedure


Upon sale of the Ticket, PasseTonBillet sends the User an email informing them of the Transaction. This email contains a link enabling the User to provide their IBAN and upload a copy of their official identity document.


Pursuant to Article L561-5 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, no transfer can be made until the required documents have been provided to verify identity.


Stripe Validation

Stripe will authorize PasseTonBillet to initiate the bank transfer as soon as it receives and validates a valid identity document meeting Stripe’s criteria.


PasseTonBillet remains available to assist Users in validating their documents at support@passetonbillet.fr.


Refusal of the Official Identity Document Copy


Stripe may refuse a copy of an identity document for the following reasons:


  • Illegible document
  • Unaccepted document type
  • Expired document
  • Incomplete document
  • Name on the document differs from the name provided on PasseTonBillet
  • Falsified document
  • Document belongs to a minor
  • Specific case identified by Stripe


If the document is refused, the User receives an email informing them of the non-validation and the need to resubmit. There is no limit on the number of attempts.


Protection of Identity Documents


PasseTonBillet does not store identity documents in its systems. All documents submitted are transmitted to Stripe, which performs verification securely (see the personal data policy: https://help.passetonbillet.fr/fr/article/charte-des-donnees-personnelles-1x9sc8u/).


Additional Checks


Payment providers may cross-check provided information with their own databases and public sources to detect suspicious behavior. Users may be required to provide additional identification documents.


Such documents must be original copies and must not be altered (for example, no added watermark). Once checks are completed, these documents are deleted by the payment providers.


Non-compliance with KYC Requirements After 12 Months


The Seller receives multiple email reminders to validate documents and receive payment. If, despite several reminders, the Seller does not comply with KYC requirements within 12 months after the Ticket sale, the Seller may no longer claim payout of the funds.

PasseTonBillet also remains available at support@passetonbillet.fr to assist with document validation.


PasseTonBillet shall not be liable if reminders are not received due to reasons attributable to the User (closed email address, full inbox, filtering or blocking of emails, etc.).


Remaining amounts in the User’s account will then be retained by PasseTonBillet to cover administrative fees and fees charged by the payment provider for managing inactive wallets. These funds become the definitive property of the Platform and are not refundable.


The User acknowledges that this retention results directly from failure to comply with KYC verification obligations and that the User has been duly informed of this policy.


12.2.1. Payout Timing and Conditions


Seller payment occurs only after Stripe or any substitute payment provider verifies and validates the information.

Funds collected by PasseTonBillet for Ticket payments are transferred by bank transfer to the Seller after deduction of applicable service fees.


Funds are transferred within the timelines below, except if a Dispute is opened by the Buyer.

The above timelines correspond to initiation of the bank transfer by the Company to the Seller’s IBAN, and the Seller will be notified by email.

They do not account for any additional delays applied by the payment service provider.

In any case, opening a Dispute suspends payment until it is closed.

Payment is processed via Stripe at https://stripe.com/fr.

By using Stripe, the Seller accepts Stripe Connected Account terms: https://stripe.com/fr/legal/connect-account


12.2.2. Seller Service Fees


The Company charges Seller Service Fees only when the sale is effectively completed.

These fees are calculated as a percentage of the Ticket sale price, are borne by the Seller, and generally amount to 5% of the sale price (VAT included).


Applicable Seller Service Fees are displayed on the Website and may be modified at any time. Any changes apply immediately to new Transactions after the update.


12.2.3. Financial Responsibility


The Seller is solely responsible for any tax obligations related to selling Tickets on the Website, including declaration and payment of applicable taxes.


The Company may suspend or terminate any User account in case of non-payment of service fees, fraud, or breach of these Terms.


12.3. Paid Options


In some cases, Sellers may purchase paid options to increase Listing visibility. Prices and conditions are described on the Website.

Paid options must be paid at the time of publication, and no refund will be granted if a Listing is removed for non-compliance with these Terms or applicable laws.


12.4. VAT


VAT applicable to electronic Tickets resold on the platform by the Seller must have been paid on the original Ticket before resale. PasseTonBillet applies the VAT rate of the Buyer’s country of residence to the service fees and transaction fees collected via Stripe.


13. CANCELLATION OF THE SERVICE


13.1. Seller Obligations


Cancellation of the Service


If the Service for which the Seller sold a Ticket is cancelled, the Seller must contact the original ticketing provider where the Ticket was purchased to request a refund, resulting in cancellation of the Ticket. This is necessary to ensure the Ticket cannot be reused by the Buyer at a later date.


Cancellation Procedure


A Ticket cannot be cancelled directly via the Website and must be cancelled with the original ticketing provider.


If an event is cancelled by the organizer, the refund terms are determined by the organizer’s conditions. The Company is not responsible for refunds in case of event cancellation.


It is strongly recommended to contact the ticketing provider as soon as possible for processing timelines and refund procedures.


13.2. Buyer Obligations


Information About the Service


The Buyer undertakes to stay informed of any updates relating to the Service. The Buyer is solely responsible for checking whether the Service is postponed or cancelled and for informing themselves about the refund procedure via the Website.


Procedure in Case of Cancellation


In case of cancellation, the Buyer may request a refund from the Company by opening a Dispute on the Website under Article 15.


Refund requests will be processed only if submitted within the specified timelines. After such timelines, the Company will not process any refund request.


If the deadline is missed, the Buyer may contact the Seller outside the Website to seek an amicable solution, under the Buyer’s sole responsibility.


Postponement or Venue Change


In case of postponement to another date or time, or venue change, neither the Seller nor the Company shall be liable to compensate the Buyer for personal expenses incurred or inconvenience arising from the cancellation.


14. INVALID TICKETS AND OPENING A DISPUTE


If there is an issue with an electronic Ticket purchased on the Website, the Buyer may report an invalid Transaction by opening a Dispute.

During the Dispute review, the Company blocks payout of the Ticket price pending resolution.


14.2. How to Open a Dispute


Only Disputes opened by the Buyer directly from their User Account on the Website will be processed. Sending an email, using chat, or any other communication method does not constitute opening a Dispute.


14.3. Dispute Handling


Upon receipt of a Dispute, the Company examines the relevant Transaction based on available information, the Parties’ statements, submitted documents, and technical tools and technologies available to it.


After review, the Company may decide as follows:


Decision (1): Dispute resolved in favor of the Buyer


The Company considers that invalidity is attributable to the Seller.


In this case:

• The Transaction is cancelled

• The Buyer is refunded

• The Seller is not paid


Any additional costs (repurchasing a Ticket, travel, other expenses) remain borne by the Buyer in accordance with these Terms.


The Seller assumes full responsibility for risks linked to the elements provided to the Buyer (PDF e-ticket, QR code, etc.).


In case of a clear error by the Seller when completing the Listing (event date, etc.) as determined by the Company, the Dispute is automatically resolved in favor of the Buyer.


Decision (2): Dispute resolved in favor of the Seller


After review, the Company considers that:

• The Ticket is valid

• The reported issue is not attributable to the Seller

• The Listing complies with the Website’s Terms


In this case:

• The Transaction is confirmed

• The Buyer is not refunded

• The Seller is paid


Any additional costs incurred by the Buyer remain borne by the Buyer.
