A.S.O. HOSPITALITY

PUBLIC EVENTS

Document updated on 13 October 2025

1. Preamble

For the public events that it organizes (the Events), Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) offers legal entities (the Client), via its website https://www.aso-hospitalite.fr/ (the Site), the opportunity to purchase access to the hospitality programs set up in connection with the Events (the Programs). The Client wished to purchase access to the Programs. To this end, A.S.O. and the Client (together, the Parties) have decided to enter into an agreement (the Agreement).

The Agreement is made up, in decreasing order of precedence, of the pro forma invoice (the Invoice), these general terms and conditions of sale (the General Terms) and the commercial offer, which together form an indivisible whole. In the event of any contradiction between the contractual documents, the Invoice shall prevail over the General Terms.

The Agreement, of which this preamble forms an integral part, governs the relationship between the Parties with respect to its subject matter. It supersedes any document and any written or oral agreement exchanged between the Parties prior to its conclusion relating to its subject matter.

2. Purchase of access to the Programs

2.1 Purchase terms

Orders for access to the Programs are placed via the Site.

Access to the Programs may only be purchased for one Event at a time.

A.S.O. reserves the right to refuse an order placed by a Client whose activities are connected with, or promote in any form whatsoever, a political, philosophical, moral or religious opinion, or that are likely to harm the image of, or the proper conduct of, the Program and/or the Event.

2.2 Price and payment terms

2.2.1 Prices are quoted in euros, exclusive of tax.

A.S.O. reserves the right to change its prices at any time, but access to the Programs will be invoiced on the basis of the rates in effect at the time the order is placed.

For certain Events, A.S.O. will offer the Client the opportunity to make a donation to a charity chosen by A.S.O. The amount of the donation shall be at the Client's discretion and will appear on the Invoice, exclusive of VAT.

2.2.2 In consideration for access to the Programs, the Client shall pay A.S.O. the lump sum stated on the Invoice in euros, plus any tax due on the date of payment.

Payment in full, inclusive of tax, in euros must be received upon receipt of the Invoice.

Payment may be made only by bank transfer or by cheque.

2.2.3 Any late or non-payment shall constitute a breach by the Client, unless the Client can establish the existence of a force majeure event, and shall result in the immediate termination of the Agreement, automatically and without judicial formality, without prejudice to any damages.

2.3 Commitment

2.3.1 Full and complete payment of the Invoice constitutes express acceptance of all transactions carried out on the Site and renders the sale firm and final.

2.3.2 The Client declares that it has read and accepted these General Terms prior to payment of the Invoice. Payment therefore constitutes acceptance of the General Terms.

2.3.3 Any commitment made by the Client is firm and final and may not be refunded for any reason whatsoever.

2.3.4 The Client may not claim any compensation or financial indemnity in the event that, for whatever reason, it does not make use, in whole or in part, of the access to the Programs.

3. A.S.O.'s obligations

A.S.O. undertakes to provide the Client with access to the Programs, either directly or through third-party service providers.

4. Client's obligations

4.1 Purpose

Access to the Programs is intended for the Client's customers, prospects, and staff (employees, representatives, agents, volunteers, etc.), who are natural persons (the Guests), for their personal use.

Each Guest taking part in the Event must read and comply with its rules.

The Client represents that it is not a sports event professional and that it does not obtain or use access to the Programs for professional or commercial use or in a manner designed to derive economic benefit therefrom. Accordingly, the Client undertakes not to transfer, in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever, all or part of the access to the Programs.

4.2 Access to the Programs and/or the Event

No invitation issued by the Client may be regarded as valid access to the Program and/or the Event. Only invitations issued by A.S.O. or its service providers will grant access to the Program and/or the Event.

A.S.O. reserves the right to refuse access to, and/or to expel from, the Program and/or the Event any person whose behavior is likely to disturb the organizers, participants, spectators, service providers or customers, or to disrupt the proper conduct of the Program and/or the Event.

4.3 Communication – visibility

4.3.1 The Client and the Guests agree to be filmed and/or photographed and that their image, as reproduced, may be freely used to refer to the Event by A.S.O. or its successors and assigns, on any medium whatsoever, for a period of 5 years from the date of the order, for any purpose, including for information, promotional and/or commercial purposes. The Client warrants that it has obtained the consent of such Guests for such use of their image.

4.3.2 Unless expressly authorized by A.S.O. to the Client under a separate agreement, and strictly within the scope of such authorization, the Client shall ensure that it and the Guests comply with the following provisions:

(i) A prohibition on capturing and using, in any form and for any purpose whatsoever – other than strictly for personal use within a limited circle – any still or moving image depicting all or part of the Program and/or the Event;

(ii) A prohibition on distributing and/or selling to Guests and/or any third parties any products and/or services within the Program and/or the Event;

(iii) A prohibition on displaying, on the site or in the vicinity of the site of the Program and/or the Event, any trademark on any medium whatsoever (banners, signs, clothing, promotional items, etc.).

4.4 Safety instructions

The Client and the Guests undertake to comply with all safety instructions, including health and safety instructions, issued by A.S.O.

5. Secrecy and Confidentiality

The Client undertakes not to make any statement likely to harm the image of A.S.O., the Program and/or the Event.

The Client undertakes to observe strict confidentiality and shall not disclose to any person, for any reason whatsoever, any information of which it may have become aware in connection with the Agreement relating to the Program, the Event or, more generally, to A.S.O.

Any reference to the Program and/or the Event, as well as any use by the Client of the Event's logo and/or any other distinctive sign relating to the Event or to A.S.O., and any use of terms such as "Supplier," "Partner," "Sponsor," or "Patron" of the Program and/or the Event, is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with this provision may result in the immediate termination of the Agreement and the immediate payment of an indemnity set at 1/10th of the amounts stipulated in the Agreement, without prejudice to any additional indemnities A.S.O. may seek in compensation for the damages incurred.

6. Client's Liability and Insurance

The Client shall be liable, throughout the term of the Agreement, for all acts committed by it or by the Guests on or in the vicinity of the site of the Program and/or the Event.

The Client is liable for any damage, harm, degradation or deterioration to the hospitality area noted by A.S.O. after it has been made available to the Client. Accordingly, the Client undertakes to reimburse A.S.O., upon first request and upon simple presentation of supporting documents, for all costs A.S.O. has had to incur to restore that area.

The Client must, without delay, inform A.S.O. of any incident or any bodily and/or material damage whatsoever occurring in that area.

Furthermore, the Client undertakes to take out, at its own expense, and to keep in force throughout the term of the Agreement, insurance covering its civil liability and that of the Guests for all types of damage, whether bodily, material or immaterial, direct or indirect, caused by it or by the Guests, and to provide evidence thereof to A.S.O. upon simple request.

Civil liability: in accordance with applicable law, A.S.O., in its capacity as organizer, has taken out insurance covering the financial consequences of its civil liability, that of its staff, and that of all participants in each of the Events. With regard to the civil liability of the Guests, the coverage under this insurance for the Guests is limited to accidents they may cause during the Event. This coverage shall apply in addition to, or in the absence of, any other insurance they may otherwise hold. Supporting documentation may be provided to the Client upon simple request.

Personal accident insurance: each Guest may, when registering for the Event, take out insurance guaranteeing payment of a lump sum in the event of bodily injury (death or permanent disability) resulting from an accident occurring on the Event route. Compensation, depending on the damage and the coverage limits chosen, is paid whenever the insured party is the victim of an accident during their participation in the Event for which the insurance was taken out.

This insurance is optional but strongly recommended. It may be taken out in addition to, or in the absence of, insurance of the same type held, in particular, through a sports license. The information notice and membership form are available on each Event's website. If the Client wishes to take out personal accident insurance for all of its Guests, the Client must contact the broker MARSH (assurances.aso@marsh.com).

Property damage: A.S.O. disclaims all liability for any damage (theft, breakage, loss, etc.) suffered by the personal property of Guests during the Program and/or the Event. The Client and/or the Guests may not therefore hold A.S.O. liable for any damage caused to such personal property. It is accordingly the responsibility of the Client and/or each Guest, if it deems it necessary, to take out insurance covering these risks.

7. Termination

In the event of a breach by the Client or the Guests of any of the obligations set out herein, the Agreement may be terminated automatically, without judicial formality, by A.S.O., after a notice to remedy the breach, sent to the Client by any means providing proof of receipt, has remained unsuccessful; and this without prejudice to A.S.O.'s right to seek damages. This notice period may be as short as one hour, depending on the nature of the failure or breach.

8. Force Majeure

The Parties expressly agree that A.S.O.'s liability may not be sought if the Program and/or the Event is cancelled or interrupted due to a force majeure event. For the purposes hereof, the Parties agree to treat the following events as force majeure events: fire, weather or political conditions making it impossible or very difficult to hold the Program and/or the Event, and in particular: flood, epidemic (including COVID-19), terrorist attack (or threat of attack), hurricane, tornado, storm, thunderstorm, frost, hail unfavorable to the holding of the Program and/or the Event, earthquake, war, civil war, requisition, work stoppage, lock-out or strike by staff and/or athletes necessary for the holding of the Program and/or the Event or for the transport of competitors or spectators, revolution, riots, crowd movements, legal moratorium, act of government, withdrawal or suspension of administrative authorizations, withdrawal or suspension of authorizations to occupy the sites where the Program and/or the Event is held, theft of all or part of the equipment necessary for the holding of the Program and/or the Event, lack of electrical power, interruption or delay in transport or telecommunications services, impossibility of broadcasting the Event via terrestrial airwaves, cable or satellite, conditions making it impossible or very difficult to maintain the safety of Event participants or spectators, or substantial withdrawal of Event participants.
