Terms and Conditions – Ticketscatacombesparis.com
Effective Date: 25 March 2026
- Introduction
1.1. Welcome to ticketscatacombesparis.com (the “Website”). This Website is owned and operated
by Underworld Pass, a company registered in the United Arab Emirates, with its registered office in
Ajman, UAE (“we”, “us”, “our”).
1.2. These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the Website, and
to the purchase of digital experience packages (the “Packages”) related to the Paris Catacombs as
offered through the Website.
1.3. By browsing the Website, creating an account (if applicable), or purchasing a Package, you
(“you”, “your”, “User”, or “Customer”) agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy
available at https://ticketscatacombesparis.com/privacy-policy/. If you do not accept these Terms,
you must not use the Website.
1.4. These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates.
- Service Description
2.1. The Website is an online platform through which users may explore and purchase Paris
Catacombs experience Packages.
2.2. Each Package typically includes:
- exclusive digital content, including a storyboard and a podcast; and
- concierge, organisational, assistance and support services in connection with the Paris
Catacombs experience.
2.3. Where stated in the relevant Package description, Underworld Pass may also arrange an official
admission ticket or reserved access slot in connection with the Package, acting strictly as the
Customer’s agent and on the Customer’s behalf.
2.4. Any such official admission ticket or reserved access slot is provided solely as a complimentary
inclusion within the Package. It is not sold separately, not priced separately, not invoiced separately,
and not charged separately to the Customer at any time.
2.5. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the amount paid on the Website is the price of the
Package only, and does not represent, in whole or in part, the purchase price of any admission
ticket.
2.6. Underworld Pass does not operate the Paris Catacombs site or any part of the monument. Our
role is strictly limited to providing digital content and concierge-related services connected with the
Customer’s experience.
2.7. Underworld Pass does not represent that it sells, resells, or transfers any standalone admission
ticket in its own name.
2.8. Underworld Pass is an independent concierge and digital content provider. Nothing on the
Website shall be interpreted as meaning that Underworld Pass is the official ticket office or the
official operator of the Paris Catacombs.
2.9. Independence and Non-Affiliation Disclaimer. Underworld Pass is not affiliated with,
endorsed by, sponsored by, or acting as an agent of Paris Musées, the Paris Catacombs, or any
official operator or authority responsible for the management of the Paris Catacombs. Any official
admission ticket or reserved access slot arranged in connection with a Package is obtained through
the official operator’s system strictly on behalf of, and as agent for, the Customer. The contractual
relationship for physical access to the Paris Catacombs exists solely between the Customer and the
official operator.
2.10. Nature of the Service (Transparency Notice). The Package price reflects exclusively the
value of the digital content and the concierge, organisational, assistance and support services
provided by Underworld Pass. Where an official admission ticket or reserved access slot is arranged
in connection with a Package, it is included on a complimentary basis only and has no standalone
sale value vis-à-vis the Customer.
2.11. The purchase made through the Website is therefore a purchase of a Package only, and does
not constitute the separate purchase of an individual admission ticket from Underworld Pass.
- Concierge Mandate and Customer’s Compliance with Official Operator Rules
3.1. Concierge Mandate. By purchasing a Package that includes the arrangement of an official
admission ticket or reserved access slot, the Customer expressly and irrevocably mandates
Underworld Pass to:
- act strictly as the Customer’s agent in submitting a reservation or booking request to the
official operator in the Customer’s name and on the Customer’s behalf; - select among available time slots as close as reasonably possible to the Customer’s indicated
preferences, where the exact requested slot is unavailable; - accept, on the Customer’s behalf, any booking conditions imposed by the official operator
that are necessary to finalise the reservation; and - communicate to the official operator only such personal data as is strictly necessary for the
purpose of arranging the reservation.
3.2. The Customer acknowledges that Underworld Pass acts solely as their agent in arranging
access, and that the resulting contract for physical admission to the Paris Catacombs is formed
exclusively between the Customer and the official operator, and is subject to the official operator’s
own terms, conditions, and visitor rules.
3.3. Customer’s Obligation to Comply with Official Operator Terms. By purchasing a Package,
the Customer acknowledges that access to the Paris Catacombs is governed exclusively by the
terms, conditions, visitor rules, and regulations of the official operator (currently Paris Musées). The
Customer agrees to: - read, accept, and comply in full with the official operator’s terms and conditions of entry,
which are available at https://www.catacombes.paris.fr and https://www.billetterieparismusees.paris.fr; - comply with all on-site rules, safety requirements, security measures, dress code, prohibited
items policies, and behavioural requirements imposed by the official operator; - present valid and compliant documentation at the point of entry as required by the official
operator; and - ensure that all participants included in the booking are aware of and comply with the official
operator’s conditions.
3.4. Underworld Pass bears no responsibility for any refusal of entry, removal from the site, or
restriction of access resulting from the Customer’s or any participant’s failure to comply with the
official operator’s terms, conditions, or visitor rules. No refund shall be due from Underworld Pass
in such circumstances.
3.5. The official operator’s terms and conditions may be updated from time to time. It is the
Customer’s sole responsibility to consult the current version of the official operator’s terms prior to
the visit.

accepted. Once a Booking Confirmation has been issued, the price is fixed for that booking, except
in the case of manifest error.
5.10. Anti-Fraud and Chargeback Management. To protect users, payment systems, and our
business operations, Underworld Pass may carry out reasonable anti-fraud and verification checks,
including 3D Secure authentication, payer identity verification, and consistency checks between the
order details and payment details. Orders suspected of fraud, abuse, unauthorised payment use, or
bad-faith conduct may be refused, suspended, cancelled, or refunded. In the event of a chargeback,
payment dispute, or cardholder complaint, Underworld Pass may submit relevant evidence to its
acquiring bank, payment service providers, and card schemes, including order records, email
delivery records, IP and device data, access logs for digital content, and any booking or fulfilment
records relating to the Package.

any associated visit are suitable for your personal circumstances and for those of any participant
included in your booking.

- the digital content (storyboard and podcast) has been made available;
- the concierge, organisational, assistance or support services have begun; and/or
- the Package has been fully or substantially performed.
8.2. Where a Package includes the arrangement of an official admission ticket or reserved access
slot, such arrangement is provided on a complimentary, best-efforts basis only. The complimentary
ticket or access slot has no standalone sale value vis-à-vis the Customer and cannot be refunded,
exchanged, credited, or compensated separately from the Package. No separate cash value shall be
attributed to any complimentary ticket or access slot arranged in connection with a Package.
8.3. Cancellation or Unavailability Affecting the Experience. If an experience is cancelled,
materially disrupted, or becomes unavailable due to closure, operational restrictions, security
reasons, strike action, force majeure, scheduled renovation works, delayed reopening, or other
circumstances beyond our reasonable control, Underworld Pass may, at its option and subject to
applicable law: - offer a rescheduling solution;
- offer an alternative comparable solution;
- provide a partial refund corresponding only to the portion of the Package services not yet
performed; or - provide a full refund where Underworld Pass determines that the Package can no longer
reasonably be performed at all.
8.4. Any remedy, refund, or credit, where applicable, shall be assessed by reference to the Package
as a whole and to the portion of services not yet rendered, and not by reference to any standalone
ticket value.
8.5. Underworld Pass bears no financial liability for the official operator’s refusal, cancellation,
modification, or restriction of access, except to the extent that such refusal or cancellation gives rise
to a refund entitlement under clause 8.3 above. In such circumstances, any liability of Underworld
Pass shall be strictly limited to the Package price paid by the Customer.
8.6. If you cancel your booking, do not attend, arrive late, fail to use the Package, fail to follow the
instructions provided, fail to comply with the official operator’s terms and conditions, or otherwise
fail to use the Travel Documents correctly, you will not be entitled to any refund, exchange, or
credit, except where required by mandatory law.
8.7. Once a booking has been confirmed, changes may not be possible. Any change request is
subject to operational feasibility and third-party constraints. Underworld Pass is under no obligation
to accept change requests after purchase.
8.8. Consumer Rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any non-excludable rights you
may have under applicable consumer protection law.
8.9. Refund Processing. Where a refund is due, it will be made to the original payment method

or bank.
