Outside of these cases and in the absence of the \u2018customer\u2019 at the scheduled time at the meeting point, the ticket will be considered used and will not be refunded.<\/p>

By \u2018Chambord Montgolfi\u00e8re\u2019:
At any time, the pilot, who is the sole authority on board the aircraft, may decide to cancel a particular flight in order to:
– avoid compromising passenger safety,
– comply with aviation regulations.
For all these same reasons, a pilot may interrupt the flight at any time.
In the event of cancellation, the ticket will remain valid unless the flight has lasted more than 30 minutes.<\/p>

Medical contraindications: Bone fragility, lower limb prostheses, spinal disorders, pregnancy.
Any medical condition must be accompanied by a medical certificate of fitness to fly in a hot air balloon.<\/p>

Anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be allowed to board and their ticket will be considered used.<\/p>

Any false statements regarding the information provided on the booking form, particularly regarding passenger weight, may have a serious impact on flight safety, engaging the responsibility of the \u2018customer\u2019 and resulting in de facto exclusion without compensation.<\/p>

Children may board from the age of 7. Until the age of 13, they must be accompanied by a responsible adult.<\/p>

Regarding clothing, garments must be made of natural fibres (no synthetic fabrics). The torso, arms and legs must be covered, and closed shoes must provide good ankle support.<\/p>

The insurance covers each \u2018passenger\u2019 under civil liability related to transport for remuneration, up to a limit in accordance with current regulations. Insurance for higher amounts may be taken out. Damage to objects, clothing, cameras, prosthetic devices (internal or external) is not covered.<\/p>

9 – Transfer of service<\/h3>

The flight may be entrusted to another company also approved by the Civil Aviation Authority for passenger air transport.<\/p>

10 – Right of withdrawal<\/h3>

As \u2018Chambord Montgolfi\u00e8re\u2019 holds an air carrier certificate, the provisions of Article L 121-18 of the Consumer Code do not apply in the context of passenger transport and exempt \u2018Chambord Montgolfi\u00e8re\u2019 from the provisions of the articles of the Hamon Law. The \u2018customer\u2019 therefore does not have the right of withdrawal.<\/p>

Personal data is used to process your order and is essential for your flight to take place. In accordance with the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978, the \u2018customer\u2019 has the right to access and rectify the data provided during the booking process. This data is not used for any other purpose.<\/p>
