Terms and Conditions – Ticketscatacombesparis.com

Effective Date: 25 March 2026

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.

    between you and Underworld Pass for the purchase of the Package.

    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

    7.5. Certain areas, routes, timings, or parts of the visitor experience may be altered, restricted,

    control.
    7.6. Underworld Pass does not guarantee any specific route, duration, sequence, or on-site
    experience unless expressly stated in the Package description.
  1. Refunds, Exchanges and Cancellations
    8.1. General Policy. Subject to applicable mandatory law, purchased Packages are generally nonrefundable and non-exchangeable, particularly once:
  • 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.
