Article 2 - Scope of application
These general terms and conditions apply to the services defined below, concluded between the Buyer and AUTOGRILL. It is specified that the "Groups Service France" brochure as well as any other prospectus, advertisement or catalogue having the same purpose has only an informative and non- contractual value.
The loss of AUTOGRILL's operating licence for any reason whatsoever at one of its establishments results in the automatic cancellation of the reservation at that establishment without the customer being entitled to claim compensation for this fact. AUTOGRILL undertakes to inform the customer in writing of such loss as soon as it becomes aware of it.
Furthermore, the reservation must be modified in the event of a change in catering concept at an establishment between the date of confirmation of the reservation and the day of the visit. In this case, AUTOGRILL reserves the right to offer the Buyer an alternative offer without being able to guarantee the maintenance of the initial price, the Buyer remaining in any event free to refuse this substitution offer.
These general terms and conditions form an integral part of the "Groups Service France" brochure downloadable from the website www.reservationgroupes-autogrill.fr and are communicated to the Buyer upon simple request by email or post to AUTOGRILL's registered office address.
Any reservation implies the Buyer's full and unconditional acceptance of these general terms and conditions. These general terms and conditions are expressly agreed and accepted by the Buyer, who declares and acknowledges having full knowledge thereof, and therefore waives the right to rely on any other contradictory document, prior and in particular, any general purchasing terms and conditions.
The fact that AUTOGRILL does not invoke these general terms and conditions at any given time cannot be interpreted as a waiver of the right to invoke any of these conditions at a later time.
Article 3 - Conditions of service
Bus Drivers and Professional Tour Guides are not counted in reservations (they benefit from a separate loyalty programme; for information please contact the Reservation Centre and visit www.chauffeurdebus-autogrill.fr or www.autogrill.fr).
Except for services provided at "table service restaurants", other reserved services do not include the reservation of tables and seats (self-service restaurant). It is also specified that "takeaway" services do not include the use of the restaurant dining area.
"Group Reservations" services entitle the Buyer to Group Prices as indicated notably in the "Groups Service France" brochure.

The services reserved by the Buyer shall be performed on the date, at the time, and only at the selected Restaurant, as stated on the RESERVED MENUS booking confirmation sent by AUTOGRILL under the conditions set out in Article 4. AUTOGRILL reserves the right to modify part or all of the content of the reserved service, in particular when it is unable to provide part or all of the services reserved for reasons beyond its control (in particular when the Buyer modifies their reservation or in the case of a service with a choice of dishes at the time of reservation), without incurring any liability and without any compensation being claimed.

However, AUTOGRILL shall not be held liable and no compensation shall be due. Furthermore, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no additional services may be claimed by the members of the group and performed by the AUTOGRILL Network, except upon immediate payment of the price of the service displayed to the public. In order to offer a service that meets quality and hygiene standards, the Buyer is informed and accepts the restrictions that will be deemed necessary by AUTOGRILL, both regarding products and procedures. In particular, in the case of takeaway sales for immediate or delayed consumption of two hours, the Buyer undertakes to comply with good hygiene practices ensuring the quality control of the products until they are delivered to the final consumer.
Article 6 - Modification, Non-presentation of the Group, Cancellation
6.1 Modification of the reservation
Any changes to the reservation (including changes to the arrival time, number of participants, presentation of the group outside the scheduled time slots or at another Restaurant in the Network, etc.) must be communicated in writing by the Buyer to AUTOGRILL within 24 working hours prior to the day of the visit. Beyond this period, the change may be treated as a cancellation, in which case the compensation stipulated in Article 7 shall apply. If, as a result of this change, AUTOGRILL is unable to fulfil its obligation in whole or in part, it shall not be held liable.
6.2 Non-presentation of the Group
Any non-presentation of the group at the Restaurant indicated on the booking confirmation will be treated as a cancellation and will give rise to the compensation stipulated in Article 7, whether the restaurant was notified or not. The AUTOGRILL restaurant receiving a group not reserved at its establishment is not required to provide the service provided for in the initial reservation and cannot be held responsible for any service shortfall (supply and staffing in particular).
6.3 Cancellation
The Buyer has the option to cancel their reservation, only if they notify AUTOGRILL within 24 working hours prior to the day of the visit indicated on the booking confirmation. The cancellation must be communicated in writing to the Reservation Centre from Monday 9am to Friday 5pm or, outside these hours, directly to the point of sale by email or telephone.

Any cancellation brought to the attention of AUTOGRILL less than 24 hours before the day of the visit will give rise to the payment of the compensation provided for in Article 7 hereof.

In case of cancellation, the Buyer shall be liable for compensation corresponding to fifty percent (50%) of the total amount including VAT of the "RESERVED MENUS" service as stated on the "booking confirmation" referred to in section 4.4.

8.1 Discounts on "RESERVED MENUS" services
When the conditions of Article 3 are met, the Buyer may benefit from the following discounts, once and in one place only (the discounts in Articles 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 are not cumulative):
8.1.1 Quantity discount at all points of sale and divisions (motorways and Carrousel du Louvre)
Each time the number of "Group Menus" reserved by the Buyer reaches twenty (20) paying persons, AUTOGRILL will grant a free menu to the twenty-first (21st) person corresponding to the menu chosen by the majority of the group. If they do not have a professional guide card, group leaders will be counted on the booking confirmation in the same way as other bus passengers. Bus drivers are not included in the group composition, as they benefit from a separate loyalty programme (contact the Reservation Centre for information); they can only take advantage of this programme upon presentation of their loyalty card. Professional guides will also not be counted and will receive a free meal upon presentation of their personal professional card (see the terms and conditions of the Coach Driver and Professional Tour Guide loyalty programme at www.chauffeurdebus-autogrill.fr or at www.autogrill.fr under the "Coach Driver" section). If different menus are booked for the same group, the free meal(s) will be based on the menu booked in the largest quantity.
8.1.2 10% discount, upon visit notice, on all catering concepts on motorways and in the Food Court outlets of the Carrousel du Louvre.
This 10% discount cannot be applied to reserved menus. It will be granted on standard retail prices directly to all passengers in a group paying individually, upon mention of the password provided by AUTOGRILL or by the freephone platform (0800 740 830) in accordance with the visit notice.
8.2 Prices - specific conditions
The purchase of the aforementioned menus is made subject to the Buyer's acceptance of the price communicated at the time of confirmation of the reservation of services by the France Reservation Centre. For information purposes, a price list is available in the "Group Reservations" brochure or any other commercial document. The Buyer can obtain these documents at www.reservationgroupes-autogrill.fr or upon simple request. Prices and services are subject to change at any time and without notice. However, reservations confirmed before any changes will not be subject to price changes.
Article 9 - Payment terms and payment incidents
9.1 Terms of payment to AUTOGRILL by the Buyer
The price is payable in full on the day the service is provided, using any of the payment methods accepted by AUTOGRILL. Cheques issued by a legal entity (travel agents, associations, etc.) must bear the company stamp on the back. For cheques issued by a natural person, the person must present proof of identity when paying for the service. Subject to prior agreement by the Reservation Centre, the price is also payable on receipt of invoice, upon presentation of an exchange voucher or purchase order serving as a promise of payment.
9.2 Payment incident of the Buyer
Any default or delay in payment for services provided from the agreed due date will automatically and without formal notice obligate the Buyer to pay AUTOGRILL late payment interest equivalent to three times the legal interest rate. Any Buyer in late payment is, by right, liable to AUTOGRILL for a fixed compensation amounting to €40 for recovery costs. When the recovery costs incurred exceed the amount of this fixed compensation, AUTOGRILL may claim additional compensation upon justification. However, AUTOGRILL may not invoke the benefit of these compensations when the opening of a safeguard, reorganisation, or judicial liquidation procedure prohibits payment at its due date of the debt owed to it. In the event of a serious or repeated payment incident, AUTOGRILL reserves the right to refuse any new service as well as to take any useful measure to safeguard its interests.
Article 10 - Buyer's liability
The Buyer is responsible for the behaviour of the group members on the AUTOGRILL Network. Any misconduct by the Buyer's group on the AUTOGRILL Network (damage to property, disrespect towards staff, etc.) as well as failure to comply with the rules and regulations laid down by AUTOGRILL will give rise to legal proceedings and AUTOGRILL reserves the right to take all necessary measures.
Article 11 - Transfer of ownership - Transfer of risks
The transfer of ownership to the Buyer of the menus and the correlated transfer of the risks of loss and deterioration related thereto will be effected upon receipt of said products by the Buyer and/or the members of the Buyer's group.
Article 12 - AUTOGRILL's liability - Warranty
AUTOGRILL assumes responsibility towards the Buyer for the services provided and the products delivered as accessories in accordance with the regulations in force and therefore guarantees the Buyer against any claims resulting from the supply of foodstuffs. AUTOGRILL shall not be held liable in the event of total or partial non-performance resulting from an event beyond its control (force majeure, unforeseeable circumstances, acts or omissions of a customer, strikes, road and transport blockages, failure of a third-party supplier or other). In any event, AUTOGRILL's liability shall not exceed the price of the RESERVED MENUS as defined in Article 8 hereof. AUTOGRILL cannot be held responsible for any malfunction of its reservation website. The reservation will only be final upon written confirmation by AUTOGRILL.
Article 13 - Entry into force, duration, termination
The Contract is considered concluded between AUTOGRILL and the Buyer upon acceptance of these general terms and conditions by the latter, and takes effect between them for an indefinite period. At any time, the Buyer may cancel their registration by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to AUTOGRILL at the registered office address, subject to a one-month notice period. Such termination results in a complete withdrawal from this Reservation Programme and, consequently, the removal of the associated benefits, without any compensation on either side.
Article 14 - Force Majeure
Cases of force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances, as defined within the meaning of Article 1218 of the Civil Code and according to the interpretation made by the Court of Cassation, may, if applicable, lead to the suspension of the execution of all or part of the obligations incumbent upon one and/or the other Party under these terms. The Party invoking an event constituting force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances must notify the other Party by any means, following the occurrence or threat of this event and within a maximum period of five days. The execution of the obligations of the prevented Party will then be postponed for a period equal to the duration of the suspension due to this cause. In the event of such an occurrence (the affected Party undertaking to inform the other Party by any means and as soon as possible), the Parties shall endeavour in good faith to take all reasonably possible measures to continue the performance of this contract. However, if the case of force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances should persist for more than one (1) month, each Party may choose to terminate this contract by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to the other Party, without any compensation on either side.
Article 15 - Intellectual property
All advertising or technical documents provided to the Buyer remain the exclusive property of AUTOGRILL, the sole holder of intellectual property rights. The Buyer agrees not to use these documents in a way that could infringe AUTOGRILL's intellectual property rights.
