c. Validity of tickets and entry passes
Each ticket or registration is strictly personal and may not be resold or transferred, except with the prior consent of the Organizer or in cases provided for by law. Any reproduction, modification, or fraud will result in the immediate invalidation of the entry pass, without refund.
4. Price and payment terms

The prices of visitor tickets and B2B forum registrations are indicated in euros (€), including all taxes (TTC) for visitors and professionals in accordance with applicable regulations.
The prices in force are those indicated on the official online ticket office, or at the ticket office during the exhibition.
The Organizer reserves the right to modify prices at any time, it being specified that tickets and registrations are invoiced based on the price in force at the time of ordering.

Payment methods accepted via the official ticket office: credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) and other secure methods offered by the ticket office platform.

These payment methods are displayed automatically when the technical and contractual conditions are met (compatible device, compatible browser, activated account, etc.). In any event, the Customer remains free to choose from the payment methods offered at the time of ordering.

5. Cancellation, modification and refund conditions
a. No right of withdrawal
In accordance with Article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to visitor tickets or forum registrations.
All orders are therefore firm and final.
b. Refund Policy
Visitor tickets and B2B forum registrations are non-refundable and non-exchangeable, except in the event of total cancellation of the show by the Organizer.
The absence of the purchaser, for any reason whatsoever (unavailability, date error, personal impediment, delay, etc.), shall not give rise to any refund.
c. Program, schedule, or venue changes
The Organizer reserves the right to change the opening hours, venue layout, B2B forum program, and list of exhibitors and speakers.
Any changes necessary for the smooth running of the show do not constitute grounds for refund.
d. Weather conditions
Due to the nautical nature of the event, certain activities or demonstrations may be dependent on weather conditions.
The cancellation or adjustment of an activity due to weather conditions does not entitle participants to a refund.
In the event of extreme weather conditions or force majeure requiring the temporary closure or reorganization of the show, the Organizer may adapt the terms of access without this giving rise to any right to compensation.
e. Force majeure or security reasons
The Organizer may be required to modify part or all the event, or to restrict access to it, for reasons related to personal safety, administrative decisions, exceptional risks, or situations of force majeure (as defined by law and case law).
In such situations, and unless the show is completely cancelled, no refunds may be claimed.
f. Cancellation of the show
In the event of cancellation of the show on the scheduled dates at the Organizer's initiative, visitor tickets and B2B registrations will be refunded or offered a postponement to the new dates.
The Organizer will communicate the refund terms and conditions within a reasonable time frame.
6. Access to the show and safety rules
a. Access conditions
Access to the Nice Boating Tomorrow show is subject to the presentation of a valid ticket (paper or electronic) or professional accreditation issued by the Organizer.
Each ticket can only be used once (except for permanent tickets and forum passes). Any attempt at fraud, duplication, or unauthorized use will result in refusal of access without refund.
b. Entry checks
The Organizer may check the identity of visitors or forum participants, carry out visual checks of bags, searches, or enhanced checks if security conditions so require.
Refusal to submit to checks will result in denial of access to the exhibition, without refund.
c. Behavior on site
The public and professional participants must behave respectfully towards people, property, and facilities.
The Organizer reserves the right to expel any person who is intoxicated, behaving dangerously or inappropriately, or failing to comply with safety instructions.
No expulsion entitles the person concerned to a refund.
d. Animals
Access to animals may be restricted in certain areas, particularly on the pontoons, in the professional forum, or during certain demonstrations. Only dogs on a leash are allowed access to the show.
e. Compliance with current regulations
Access is subject to public safety rules, government directives, and any health or administrative measures applicable on the date of the event.
These constraints shall not constitute grounds for refund.

The Organizer cannot be held liable for any errors (name, email address, professional contact details, etc.) that may prevent the ticket from being issued or used.
