Article 2: Ticket and season ticket prices - No refunds

The management reserves the right to modify its rates at any time, without prejudice to the visitors with regard to the validity of the tickets/season tickets/speedy passes purchased before such modification.
The price of tickets and season tickets is set according to the circumstances of the operation of an amusement park and weather conditions, all of which inevitably lead to all or part of the attractions and other services offered being temporarily inaccessible.
Whenever possible, the management ensures that visitors are informed of any disruption to the Park’s activities which it controls by regularly updating the agenda of the Bellewaerde Belgium website.
This desire to provide information for the sole purpose of limiting as much as possible any inconveniences that Park users may suffer may in no way be interpreted as the management’s acceptance to grant any price reduction on tickets/season tickets sold as a result of disturbances that were not mentioned on the Park's agenda.
Regardless of the manner in which they were acquired, tickets, season tickets and season passes giving access to the Park and the parking lot shall not be exchanged or refunded, whether in full or in part (Article VI. 53 12° of the Code of Economic Law) .
In this respect, it is irrelevant that: the ticket/season ticket/season pass has hardly been used or cannot be used by its acquirer; and/or all or part of the attractions of the Park are or have been inaccessible during the period of validity of the entrance entitlement, for meteorological reasons or for reasons related to the operation of the Park (breakdowns of attractions, security problem, maintenance or renovation of attractions, restoration works, installation of new attractions, etc.), all of which circumstances cannot in any case be assimilated to cases of force majeure.
Even in cases of force majeure in the legal sense of the term, Bellewaerde’s obligation will be limited to proposing to the visitor a new date for using their entrance entitlement impacted by the case of force majeure.

Article 3

Tickets/season tickets/season passes are strictly personal and cannot in any case be loaned or transferred. They are only valid if they can be produced together with the unexpired identity card of their holders.
It is strictly forbidden to reproduce, duplicate or forge a Bellewaerde ticket or season ticket in any way whatsoever. The fact of lending an entrance entitlement to a third party, as well as using and attempting to use an irregular entrance entitlement, besides being liable to criminal prosecution, will immediately result in the ticket/season ticket/season pass being confiscated, without possibility of reimbursement and without prejudice to the compensation of all the damage suffered.
Bellewaerde declines any responsibility in case of illicit use of an entrance entitlement following the loss or theft thereof, if such loss or theft has not been previously reported to it.

Article 4 - Intellectual property rights

The intellectual property rights of the website and its components belong to Compagnie des Alpes or to third parties. The sales agreement entered into by Bellewaerde and the buyer shall not grant the latter the right to copy, reproduce, download, post, transmit or distribute any of the components of the Bellewaerde website.

Article 5 - Privacy

The rules concerning compliance with the legislation relating to the protection of personal data are described in the privacy policy included in a separate tab of the website.

Article 6 - Applicable law and jurisdiction

Any dispute concerning the Bellewaerde website and the sale of tickets shall be governed by Belgian law. The courts and tribunals of the district of West Flandres shall have sole jurisdiction.

B. Sale of tickets/Season Tickets online (E-tickets)

Article 1 - Scope

The contracts entered into remotely via the "Bellewaerde" website shall be entered into directly with BELPARK S.A. They shall be governed, when the purchaser of the ticket/season ticket is a consumer within the meaning of the Code of Economic Law, by the provisions of the said Code.

Article 2 - Offer

Information detailing the products or services that can be purchased on Bellewaerde's website constitutes an offer to sell. Unless expressly stated otherwise, such offer shall be valid, provided that it contains no material errors, as long as it is present on the official website of Bellewaerde.
