- Telephone: +33.(0)6.85.68.55.16
- Email: contact@mercury-silver.fr

The contractual information is presented in French and will be confirmed at the latest when the order is validated.

The company MERCURY SILVER reserves the right not to record a payment, and not to confirm a reservation for any reason whatsoever, and more particularly in the event of a technical problem, or in the event of difficulty concerning the reservation made.

4.2. Process

The Client has the possibility of reserving the services via the three methods listed in the previous paragraph.

The Customer will be able to manage their reservations from the interface dedicated to them in their basket. The reservation process is detailed on the Site and accessible to each Customer who declares having read it.

4.3. Right of withdrawal (only applicable to consumers)

Pursuant to article L221-28 of the Consumer Code, as amended by Ordinance No. 2016-301 of March 14, 2016, in force on July 1, 2016, it is recalled that the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for contracts:

Provision of accommodation services, other than residential accommodation, goods transport services, car rentals, catering or leisure activities which must be provided on a specific date or period.

4.4. Choice of date of service and convocation time

When booking, the Customer can choose to take a service, without predefined date, with a validity of one (1) year from the date of purchase. In this case, MERCURY SILVER sends by e-mail within 24 hours or by post (post office shipping time), depending on the customer's choice, an undated voucher which is to be given to the beneficiary of the service. This uses the interface on the Site www.mercury-silver.myshopify.com or calls the company MERCURY SILVER on +33.(0)6.85.68.55.16 in order to choose and confirm a service date among those available . The convening time for the chosen service is confirmed one week in advance to the beneficiary and the Customer by e-mail.

If when booking, the Customer chooses a date for the service, MERCURY SILVER sends by e-mail (instantaneous) or by mail (post office shipping time), depending on the Customer's choice, a summons for the service at the date retained. In this case, it is the responsibility of the buyer to give the invitation to the beneficiary of the service.

The beneficiary's convocation time is sent to the beneficiary and to the Client by e-mail.

MERCURY SILVER declines all liability in the event of the beneficiary's absence on the day of the service (see: Conditions of postponement). In particular, no refund or postponement to another date can be made. The Customer and/or beneficiaries who do not provide a mobile number or email address must call MERCURY SILVER at +33.(0)6.85.68.55.16 to find out their convening time.

The imperatives of organizing services do not allow MERCURY SILVER to convene Customers according to their wishes. The beneficiary therefore undertakes to accept and appear at the time of the invitation sent to him by MERCURY SILVER. Respecting the convocation time guarantees the smooth running of the program in optimal security conditions.

In the event of a delay of more than thirty (30) minutes on the day of the service, MERCURY SILVER therefore reserves the right to either reduce the service initially planned, or to postpone the beneficiary's participation in exchange for compensation of 50% of the amount of the service. service (excluding option). In both cases, MERCURY SILVER will not be liable for any compensation.

4.5. Expiry date and deadline for completion of the service

The expiry date for the service corresponds to the purchase date referred to above, plus one year. The deadline for carrying out the service corresponds to the last date proposed in the MERCURY SILVER calendar for the circuit mentioned on the reservation. It is systematic that the deadline for carrying out the service occurs before the expiry date. It is therefore up to the Client to choose their service date sufficiently early to be able to carry out their service before the deadline for carrying out the service and therefore before the validity deadline of their ticket. To facilitate this process, MERCURY SILVER attaches the schedule of service dates when purchasing the voucher and regularly informs the Customer and the beneficiary of the upcoming available dates by email. The schedule is also available and updated in real time on the Site. As the filling of services changes every day, certain dates which would have been available at the time of purchase may no longer be available when the beneficiary decides to choose their date. It is therefore advisable to reserve the date of the service as soon as possible to avoid the schedule being complete before the end of validity date.

In this case (late reservation exceeding the validity date), MERCURY SILVER cannot be held responsible in any way.

If the deadline for carrying out the service has passed but the ticket has not reached the expiry date, the Customer has the possibility of extending the validity of his ticket by 6 months.

Once the expiry date has passed, the service is lost.

4.6. Conditions for postponing a service to another date

In the event of an event qualified as “Force Majeure” as defined by the Civil Code, such as serious illnesses, accidents or exceptional events affecting the beneficiary and preventing him from carrying out his service, the Client undertakes to inform MERCURY SILVER of the postponement request within 24 hours (by telephone at +33.(0)6.85.68.55.16 or by contact@mercury-silver.fr) and to transmit the supporting documents within eight (8) days by email or post adequate (work leave, hospitalization certificate, etc.).

After validation by MERCURY SILVER of the irresistible and unforeseeable nature of the duly justified event, the Client will have the option of postponing his service without fixed compensation. The validity date of the service is also, in fact, postponed by six (6) months.

In all other cases, the postponement of the date will not be accepted and the Customer will not be able to claim any reimbursement or compensation for sums already paid. However, the Client has complete freedom to modify the beneficiary of the service until the day before the service.

Weather conditions cannot under any circumstances constitute a case of force majeure such as to justify a postponement by the beneficiary of the scheduled date.

4.7. Conditions for cancellation or postponement of a service by MERCURY SILVER

In the event of insufficient participation in a planned service, MERCURY SILVER may be required to cancel or postpone it.

In this case, participants scheduled for the day will be notified no later than two (2) weeks in advance by email and telephone.

In the event of unforeseen restoration work imposed by the Circuits for safety reasons (in particular following damage etc. ), or in general for any event qualified as Force Majeure within the meaning of the Civil Code, MERCURY SILVER may have to cancel or postpone a service date. Given the sudden and very exceptional nature of this scenario, this cancellation may take place the day before the service. The customer will be informed as soon as possible by telephone and email.

If the weather conditions do not ensure the safety of the driver during the service, namely snow, ice or heavy rain, MERCURY SILVER reserves the right to cancel or postpone the service. Given the sudden nature of these events and depending on their seriousness, this cancellation or postponement may take place on the same day of the service .
