ACCEPTANCE OF GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
By accessing and using the website and all its subdomains, consumers and clients expressly agree to all of the general terms and conditions, which are automatically considered to form part of the contract without the need for each of the terms and conditions to be individually transcribed in writing. The terms and conditions fulfil and exercise the relevant legislation in force without breach of such legislation.
USE OF CLIENT'S CONTACT DETAILS
The client or booking holder certifies that they are 18 years of age or over and that they have the legal capacity to use the website and all its subdomains and to enter into legal obligations.
The client certifies that all personal data provided during the booking process is correct, and accepts financial liability for any operation carried out under their name or on their behalf.
In accordance with this document, the client hereby authorises Grandvalira to include all of the personal data provided in relation to a booking (both their own and that of the persons named in the booking) in Grandvalira confidential database for future communications, in accordance with the provisions of Law 15/2003 of 18 December 2003 concerning personal data protection.

PRODUCTS
The products which can be purchased on the website and all its subdomains may be booked individually or in combination as part of a service package.
HOTELS AND OTHER SERVICES
Grandvalira acts solely as a promoter in relation to other providers of accommodation and other services, and as a bookings agency making reservations on behalf of users, and therefore cannot be considered to be liable for death, injury, illness, damage, loss, accident, theft, delay, or any other irregularity which is directly or indirectly related to the services provided by the hotel or other providers who market their accommodation, services and products through the Grandvalira website. Grandvalira is exempt from all contractual and non-contractual liabilities and any other type of liability. An accommodation or service provider is understood to be the providers or owners who are shown on the website and all its subdomains, and include all the facilities and services offered on this website and all its subdomains, which Grandvalira reserves on behalf of users. The information for the aforementioned hotel has been made available by the accommodation provider.
The AGENCY must communicate GRANDVALIRA by writing any food allergies or intolerances one or several members of the group may have. GRANDVALIRA will communicate this information to all restaurants. However, GRANDVALIRA is exempt of any responsibility that may arise due to a failure to comply with, negligence, error, or omission by the AGENCY of the indications given regarding food allergies or intolerances of members of the group. Therefore, any responsibility that may arise, will be attributed solely and exclusively to the AGENCY or, when necessary, to the restaurant, as long as it is independent from GRANDVALIRA.
STAR RATING AND QUALITY OF ACCOMMODATION
The star rating belongs to the destination and complies with the relevant legislation in force in that area. It only serves as a general description and may not be applicable in all cases. The types of room provided by a hotel (for example, single, twin, double) may vary. It is the client’s responsibility to check the type of accommodation and the services provided by each hotel or partner agency. It is the partner agency’s responsibility to give details about the hotels, services or packages that can be reserved through them. The client accepts that we have not carried out any quality controls on the establishments offered on the website and all its subdomains. We will not be held accountable for the suitability of the accommodation or the services provided. The inclusion of accommodation on the website does not, under any circumstances, imply that Grandvalira recommends or endorses it. We disclaim all responsibility for any inaccuracies in relation to the accommodation and services offered on the website and all its subdomains.
RESORT SERVICES
Grandvalira acts as both owner and provider of resort services offered within the resort and sold on this website and all its subdomains.
The services offered by Grandvalira itself are as follows: passes, ski classes, adventure activities, restaurant services and other services offered at the Grandvalira ski resort.
INSURANCE
We recommend that suitable travel insurance is purchased before the client arrives at their destination. The client is responsible for verifying that their insurance offers adequate coverage.
SKIING INSURANCE + LOST PASS COVER:
In the event that the client has not purchased an insurance policy, we recommend purchasing the ski insurance offered by Grandvalira, which under no circumstances acts as a substitute for travel insurance. The ski insurance policy solely and exclusively covers personal injury and injury to third parties caused during skiing and some of the adventure activities promoted and controlled by the resort as long as they are practised within the facilities of the resort. Clients are asked to read their insurance policy coverage carefully. Skiing insurance may be purchased as an additional service when booking online or directly at the ski resort's ticket offices upon presenting the pass before using any of the resort's ski lifts.
This includes reprinting a lost pass without additional costs.
REGISTRATION, BOOKINGS AND PAYMENTS
According to contractual conditions, once the booking is confirmed, the established payment conditions must be met. The booking will not be final until the full payment is made. Failure to make payment will result in the booking being cancelled and the terms and conditions defined in the cancellations section being applied. Payments may be made electronically on the website.
At the resort ticket offices, the client must present our reference number and the ID of the booking holder, or the original voucher issued by our sales system or by that of the agency.
An invoice may be requested at a later date, after the end of the stay.
Bookings shall include the services specified in the booking confirmation. It is important that you read all the information on the accommodation, if included, as the stay may involve supplements and additional services which the user must pay for directly with the establishment. Grandvalira is exempt from all contractual liabilities, extra-contractual liabilities and any other type of liability in relation to these services and supplements.
QUOTES
The prices and availabilities of the services saved as "Quotes" are for information purposes and subject to availability review at the time of booking confirmation.
CONFIRMATION
Once the client has paid the full cost of the booking as previously indicated, they will automatically receive the voucher/reference number. This voucher is the basis of the booking contract: the client acknowledges that it is their responsibility to check the confirmation and verify that all the data included therein is correct, as services will only be provided according to the details specified in the booking.
HANDWRITTEN SIGNATURE
Due to the special circumstances involved in distance contracts, the client acknowledges the impossibility of signing the payment slip, understood to be the document through which permission for the transaction is normally given. Therefore, the client waives the signing of the contract for the whole electronic transaction that occurs as a result of booking via the website and all its subdomains. The person who completes the booking form on the website must have permission to make the booking on behalf of all group members participating in the trip, and must confirm that all group members accept the booking terms and conditions. Furthermore, this person will be liable for the cost of the booking, including any cancellation or modification fees. Similarly, this person will inform the other members of the group of the confirmation details and any other relevant information.
DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTATION
In order to facilitate and speed up access to the resort, Grandvalira offers the client a free service for delivering booking documentation (physical pass, resort service vouchers, etc.) directly to the booked accommodation. This service is only offered for bookings that include accommodation, and for bookings that are made and paid for at least 48 hours before the arrival date.
The client must present a separate voucher for each of the purchased services that, due to their location, take place outside the Grandvalira ski resort.
CANCELLATION POLICY
The client may modify or cancel their booking at any time, before the start date of the services, through the website or any of its subdomains where they made the booking. When in doubt, contact the Grandvalira Reservation Centre directly, at booking@grandvalira.com or call (+376) 891 800.
If the client cancels the booking, there may be expenses incurred by the accommodation or service providers. Each service provider and each promotion has its own cancellation and/or modification policy, which is detailed in the description of the services at the time of purchase.
However, cancellations due to closed resorts will be processed in accordance with the special procedure defined by Grandvalira.
